GENERAL Administration leaders some day
- may be tripped up by their own political
nimbleneSs.
A few days ago. Gov. Mariner Eccles OF the
Federal Reserve Board told the House Bank
ing COMMITTEES that the government should
adopt a stiff graduated income tax, skim on
surplus savings pillow the receipts into public
works. thereby building up the purchasing
power upon which industry's profits depend
Senator's Robert La Toilette and James
Couzens took Mr.. Eccles at his word and pro-
posed specific taxes.
Nov Mr. Eccles mas reversed his advice,
SAYING higher income taxes should not be ap-
piled until after prosperity has returned. Per-
haps he didn't mean ~ his first statement
what everybody seemed to think he meant
Perhaps he really meant. as his second state
ment appears to make clear, that we should
wait until prosperity somehow miraculously
returns. and then tax TO retain 1t. Perhaps
his amendment to his program was not
prompted by the political unpopularity OF
taxes. But to the average man, his clarlfca-
ton looks like political footwork.
Nor is this an isolated case.
In January, President Roosevelt sent up his
social security message. His party leaders on
the House Ways and Means Committee
started working on a law to give the people
security in their jobs through unemployment
insurance and old-sge pensions and insurance.
Nov. with the third month of the Congress
session ending. the Ways and Means Com
nittee gaily recesses its deliberations and puts
the bonus debate ahead Of security.
Apparently the security bill is to be per-
united 10 drift into the adjournment Jam.
That strategy killed unemployment insurance
and old-age pension bills last session
Administration leaders who think the
popular desire for security is merely passive
yearning are apt to be rudely awakened Inc
peouls are aggreSsively intent upon security
II they fail to get the proposed plan' they
nrobabIv will force some scheme not as sound.

A BONUS COMPROMISE

ID EP. DAVID J. LEWIS Of Maryland, with
IN forthrightneSs that has made him ma
tionaIly famous. has brought minority re-
port from the Ways and Means Committee
condemning both the Patman and the vinson
bonus bills.
He suggests instead adoption Of the Tyd-
ings-Andrews bonus bill, which would pay vet
Grams who prefer cash now the 1885 maturity
value OF their certificates instead OF the 1915
maturity value. In other words. he would give
the veterans vnat they are entitled to under
the law. instead Of awarding additional bene-
plans Our governments finances, Mr.. Lewis
believes. are not in shape to stand the strain
OF ladling out class privileges without regard
to the needs OF the recipients.
OF the Patman plan TO print two billion
dollars in currency to pay the bonus. Mr.. Lewis
says:
1T would at one stroke initiate the out
standing currency by about 20 per cent and
start US down the toboggan OF reputation Of
insurance policies. public and private pensions
and bonds"
Supporters Of the Vinson BILL he says. sense

UPHOLDS HIS THEORY ON
RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM


BY Charles L. Blume.
There have been several answers
to my letter on rugged individual
ism. None of the writer's has really
seen it in the right light. They re-
mind me of the story of the seven
blind men who attempted to de-
scribe an elephant.
My friends, you have disappointed
me in not answering my questions
The questions are good civic inquir-
les; answer them honestly to your
selves, then compare your answers
to present conditionS-you will find
that they are far from vague.
Let us define rugged individual
ism. 1t is that quality of character
that makes the best of adverse con-
ditions; the ability to carry on in
spite of heartbreaks or bitter dis
appointments; the courage to stand
against encroachment on the rights
of free thinking and free speech;
the lasting steadfast faith in God;
the right to enter any field and Sue
coed according to ability.
My friends, are all men with vast
wealth rugged idividuaists? What
are the small business men strug-
Cling against competition and gov
ernmental interference to be called?
Success is not measured in terms Of
wealth, but in terms of service and
achievement. Wealth is an acct
dent. Used wrongfully, it becomes
a menace to those who possess it
destroys them and those who are
their heirs. Financial history will
prove my contention.
What are we to call the men and
women who manage to fight on and
are loaded with taxes to carry on
relief for a great many people who
have merely lost their nerve? There
are some people who wouldn't work
if a job was offered them.
No, we are not going to go back
to the jungles; we are not going to
build our own roads or automo-
biles; We are not going to mount
the steed of single minded selfish
ness, but we are going to mount
to steed of true rugged individual
Ism and with the banner of our
courage unfurled rationalism and
not radicalism!

indianapolis TimesEnaRoe Shooting School Lessons Are

Adams is giving at the indianapolis
Gun Club each afternoon. Even
though a person does not shoot he
should go out there once or twice
and absorb the good advice and
demonstrations in the proper way
to handle a gun. Some one may in
vite him to go hunting some day
and the knowledge he will obtain
may be instrumental in saving his
life or the lives of his friends.
AS for the actual shooting, one
lesson will demonstrate to anybody
that Mr.. Adams knows the game
thoroughly and person would
have to be an absolute numbSkull
if he came away from the traps
without being much better shot.
Personally, I am going to be at
the grounds at least twice week
and would like to see more people,
men and women, take advantage of
this wonderful offer made possible
by The Times Em-Roe combination.

wish to thank The Indianapolis
Times and the Em-Roe Sporting
Goods Co. for making it possible
for a novice to receive free inStruc-
tons regarding shotgun shooting.
Out of curiosity I attended the
first class held on Monday after
noon at the Indianapolis Gun Club.
After receiving instructions and
suggestions from your instructor,
Charles E Adams, I learned many
things which enabled me to register
more "hits."
I found Mr.. Adams discourses
most interesting regarding guns,
loads of shells, velocity, killing
ranges of loads, etc.
Any one desiring to take up trap
or skeet shooting will be more than
repaid for his time in attending
your free school.
I hope to be able to attend more

I wish to express my thanks to
you for the opportunity to attend
the instruction classes in the safe
handling Of fire arms.
Your paper should be commended
by a large portion of the people in
terested in all safety plans. If this
instruction will only save one life
or one person from injury it will
have fulfilled its purpose.
I enjoy Mr.. Adams pleasant way
of helpful instruction and believe
your selection of him was very for
tunate for those attending.

reasons why my quail shots failed to
connect, and with sufficient practice
I'm sure improvement will come.
I look forward to several more
pleasant afternoons and to the
grand shoot, for I understand some
very worthwhile prizes will be avail

school.
I'm sure when it Is ended you will
be able to look over the record and
be satisfied with what was accom-
plished.
Please accept my thanks.

This school enables many people
to try trapShooting who otherwise
would not have the chance. Trap
shooting is a great sport, and it
will help hunters to be better shots
in the field. Many safety rules in
the use of guns can be learned by
attending this school.
You deserve to be commended for
supporting this great work, and I
am sure it will prevent many serious
accidents In the future.

Just line to express my sincere
appreciation Of your support and
sponsorship of the school of shot
gun fundamentals. I was casual
observer just a few days ago and it
impressed me very much in the way
Mr.. Adams instructed his pupils how
to handle a shotgun.
Above all he taught safety, which
is the paramount issue today in
hunting.
The way Mr.. Adams teaches, he
shows no partiality and questions
are always answered with a smile.
AS an observer learned more about
a gun in five minutes than I ever
knew before, and I can truthfully
say that The Indianapolis Times,
with the assistance of that able in
structor Mr.. Adams, has done more
for the safety of gunner than any,
thing I know.
I hope you continue the good
work.
