too quickly and congratulate your
self on being more able or success
ful because maybe next month or
next year we will be saying wei
come, brother, you are now one Of
the unemployed"
A few years ago I had this fear in
my heart; the fear of unemploy-
ment. l saw it coming with no way
to avoid it. Now its got me. Many
another has this fear in his heart
today. Even investigators are not
immune from it.
Knowing these things, perhaps
was in a better position to appre-
ciate the heart stories poured out to
the state compliant department,
Ohio-st and Senate-av.
Those of you who are knocking
the Administration for administer
ing to these needy would do well to
spend a few hours in line at the
trustees office. Perhaps you would
have a change of heart.
AS 1 walked from the building 1
ran across a man who, in 1882 as Z
was working at the polls and hand ,
ed him a Democratic slate, said. I
Don't hand me any of that bull
Yes. sir, there he was at the
trustees office, getting something to
eat. It's small world after all.

HITCH-HIKER is MENACE

TT is impossible to drive anywhere in America
l. today without encountering a patient,
oop-shouldered chap who stands by the
roadside and continuously jerks his thumb
across his chest
He is the hitch-hiker, one of the strangest
products Of the auto age, and he is getting to
be a prominent part of the American land
scape. He is also getting to be an intense pain
in the neck.
Just why it should be considered proper for
a man to stand by the roadside and beg free
transportation from total strangers is some
thing of a mystery. If he should amble up to
a pedestrian and say Il want to take the next
train to Bingville-would you mind slipping
me three nnety-five?" the pedestrian would
lose no time in telling him where to go; but
put the pedestrian behind the wheel of car
and let the hitch-hiker make request which
amounts to precisely the same thing, and
neither party sees anything especially odd
about 1t.
But the hitch-hiker is something more than
a nuisance America is full of nuisances any,
way. and one more or less hardly makes
enough difference to be worth talking about.
There are times and places when the hitch
hiker is an actual menace to public safety
For instance. the police at Wichita, Kan.
got curious recently and took all the hitch
mixers they could find down to headquarters
to be fingerprinted. They found that two of
every five had criminal records.
For another instance: Murders of motor
lists by hitch-hikers have been recorded re-
Gently in oregon. Virginia. Nebraska, New
Mexico, and Oklahoma Oklahoma, as a mat
ter of fact, ascribes more than half dozen
recent killings to hitch-hikers, while oregon
has had three
1t might also be remembered that when
Pretty Boy Floyd was finally hunted down and
killed in Ohio he was in the process of hitch
hiking across the country.
The ordinary American is a pretty good
natured sort of person, and it is this fact
that the hitch-hiker trades on. He collects
a great deal of free transportation, promotes
the existence of vagabond class which does
the country no good, and creates a fine open
ing for a lot of old-fashioned highway
robbery
AS an individual the hitch-hiker may be a
lkable chap. AS an institution, he is getting
to be pretty trying. One wonders just how
much longer the American motorist will put
I'D with him.

y. D."

THE high standard President Roosevelt set
himself in manning the Securities and
Exchange Commission is maintained in the
appointment of J. d. Ross of Seattle
j. D." is a great figure in the Northwest
As father and manager of Seattle's successful
hydrc-electric system he was called upon to
fight the private power interests. sometimes
almost single-handedly, throughout IS busy
years. Once they almost had him licked.
Their creature, newly elected mayor ousted
him. His friends started a recall against the
mayor and that worthy in turn, was just as
quickly ousted by the people. y. D." was
reinstated. but not until ne had been called
to New York as consultant on the st. Lawrence
project where the President got to know anG
appreciate his value.
Mr.. Ross should be invaluable in the en-
foTcement of the new holding utility act He
knows the subject as well. perhaps, as any
man in America.

RUSSIA'S VIEW IS WRONG

COvIET Ambassador Troyanovsky suggests
- that when the American government ac-
cuses Russia of fomenting anti-American prop
uganda it is furnishing another example of the
pot calling the kettle black.
Anything said in Moscow by American citi-
zens about the United States is very insignifi-
cant compared to continuous propaganda III
the United States against the Soviet Union"
he remarks.
This, of course, is true enough. But there is
slight difference to be borne in mind.
America has not sent agents and money to
Russia in an effort to persuade the ordinary
people of Russia to change their form of gov
eminent. 1t is not seeking to organize anti
Communist movements in Russia The charge
that Russia is meddlng in the internal affairs
Of America is not answered by pointing out
that many Americans have spoken or written
against Communism.

SUGGESTS ENFORCEMENT
OF TRAIN REGULATION
By w. II.

BY w. Fl.
In reply to ]. B. in Message Cen
ter of Aug. 81 concerning speed of
railroad trains in city and town
limits, there are also city and town
ordinances against blocking cross
ings of streets and roadways by
railroad trains.
Now, j. B., you are no doubt a
railroad employe and the town you
refer to as permitting trains to
block their crossings must have been
or is a hick town.
For your information, the rail-
roads do not want low speed and are
are not going to deliver low speed
in any city or town where they can
get away with high speed.
A short time ago, an ordinance
was passed limiting speed of all
railroad trains through the city of
Indianapolis to 25 miles. in outside
districts to Is miles an hour. Speed
limit boards were posted on all rail-
roads entering the city as to speed
permitted in certain districts. Did
the railroads live up to this speed
restriction? They did not.
Trains are operating through the
limits of indianapolis at speeds up
to rs miles an hour over very many
unprotected grade crossings. No
gates have been put up in Irvington.
Any one living close to railroad
in this city can verify the above
and will also agree with me that it
is nerve wracking and almost i'm
possible to get any rest at night
with the excessive locomotive whistl-
ing.

and finally the open road. According to
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau of
Public Roads if all the roads and streets built
by Federal funds in the past two years were
placed end on end they would encircle the
earth at its portly waistline, the equator.
And there are more things to see. The CCC

HUEY'S VICTIMS

MONEY WELL EXPENDED

A STRIKING indication of the value of
work performed by a city health depart
ment is furnished by figures recently compiled
in New York
These figures show that between 1865 and
1870, one of every four babies born in New
York City died during the first year of life.
Today the rate has dropped to one in 20.
Not all this improvement can be ascribed
to the health departments activities, of course.
Bad as New Yorks slum housing is now, it was
much worse so or go years ago. More is known
now, too about the Importance of providing
pure milk for babies.
Nevertheless, when it is considered that
New Yorks health department was founded in
1865, when things were at their worst, it is
clear that much of the credit must go to the
department.
And what has been true in New York must
be true, on smaller scale, in other cities OF
all the money city spends, not any brings
better return than that spent for health.

Freedom Threatened, Charge

Stroyed by the spirit of fear Gre
ated by the presence of troops.
This fear is well-founded. Hun
dredS of workers and sympathizers
have been thrown into Jail
Less than two weeks ago a spe-
cial judge of the Vigo Circuit
Court, hearing an application
for writ of habeas corpus from
three prisoners three weeks or
more in Jail, had ruled that he
could not grant such a writ as his
court was without jurisdiction.
The labor authorities filed no
tice of appeal and shortly there
after the prisoners were released.
The authors of the Indiana
Constitution took steps to prevent
military usurpation by declaring
in Section %, Article I, that THE
military shall be kept in strict
subordination to the civil power"
Going a step farther in defining
the status of state soldiers when
called to quell disorders the
Legislature in 1923 placed on the
statute books a law declaring
that THE Governor may order
out any part or all of the military
or naval forces of the state in aid
of the civil authorities"
The Indiana Supreme Court has
held that troops are used chiefly
because they are ready for action
and trained but that in their en-
ployment they fill the same roles
as deputy sheriffs or special po-
lice. Sheriffs and city police au-
thorities have the right to depu-
tie citizens in such number as
required in time of disorder. In
effect the soldiers are thus depu-
tiled and have the same power,
but not a lot more.
