CHEAPER TRAVEL

VXTHEN business man finds himself consistently
w losing money to his competitors he either
lowers his prices or if he can't do that he goes out
of business The railroads of the United States
can't go out of business.
This is why the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion over protest of several large Eastern lines,
yesterday issued orders reducing standard coach
passenger fares from 3.6 cents to cents a mile.
We believe the railroads themselves will come to
look upon this order good business Since 1923
they have been suffering severe losses in passenger
traffic and revenue Among all the industries the
railroads slowest in emerging from the red now.
There are certain things the railroads do to
meet the challenge of the airplane, the bus and
the passenger auto. They cooperate with the
government in eecting large-scae economies, such
as consolidating terminals, as ordered in II cities
by Co-ordinator Eastman They can make other
savings without adding to the unemployment
rolls. Chiefly they get more of their share of
the tremendously expanded travel market" They
can do this by making rail travel pleasanter. faster
and cheaper. Many rail lines have improved their
services tremendously. They have aforementioned
their coaches, smoothed their roadbeds and speeded
up their trains But that has not been enough to
change the anomaly of crack trains carrying a
handful of passengers, while the highways were
black with autos full OF potential rail travellers,
The new fares may turn the trick. Western and
Southern railroads have had emergency 2-cent fares
in effect for time. All of these have increased
business and all have urged the commission to make
the reduced fares permanent.
Attorneys for some OF the Eastern railroads are
talking about appealing the ICC order to the Su-
preme Court. Those who manage the lines might
well ponder the wisdom of this course. After ALL
there is only ininitesmal difference in the cost
of running an empty train and full of pas
sengers. But there's considerable difference in
revenue

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

THE voice of your favorite movie
l. actress will soon sound more
beautiful than ever as it emerges
from the loudspeaker behind the
screen of your neighborhood theater.
No longer will she lisp in the
clinches and hiss at the climaxes.
A new scheme, perfected by RCA
Photophone engineers, completely
eliminates these blemishes of repro
duction which have married the
screen voices of many stars and even
kept certain stars of the old silent
movies from entering the talkies at
all.
The trick is turned by using in
visible ultraviolet light instead Of
ordinary white light to record the
voices of the performers
As most readers know, the voices,
Incidental music, etc., are recorded
along the edge of the Aim upon the
so-called sound track. Microphones
pick up the sounds and convert
them into electric currents which go
through appropriate amplifiers and
finally operate a fiuctuating light.
Lenses focus the beam of this light
upon the sound track where it is
recorded at the same time that the
pictures are recorded.
In the movie theater, small lamp
shines through the pattern on the
sound track and activates a photo
electric cell which in its turn oper-
ates the necessary ampliiiers and
the loudspeaker.

THE SPECIAL SESSION

COV. MINUTES call for special session Of the
Legislature starting next Thursday has paved
the way for long step forward in Indianas history
Social security the specific issue before the Legs-
lature, is one of the most vital problems facing
America today. An adequate problem of social in
surance and old-age pensions is necessary for
Indiana.
The preliminary dispute the terms of the
program is healthy sign 1t shows that Indiana S
Legislators are thinking seriously about the issue;
that they not prepared to rubber stamp the rs6
measure drafted and introduced.
Citizens will watch with deep interest the delib-
erations of this special session.

improve business conditions in this
country along midsummer.
There are only a few adult men
and women in this country who do
not know that the circulation of
this bonus money is going to be a
great help to these II or II mil
lion people out of work and funds,
and these boys and girls in these
CCC camps and on the dole.
We all know if these bonus boys
soak this money away in bank
vaults, tin cans and their socks, it
will be of no benefit whatever to
those on the verge of starvation.
The strapgest part of this whole
matter is that one of our leading
politicians, candidate for our
highest office, President of the
United States, recommends that
the veterans withhold from circula-
ton great portion of this money.
How can any sane man do this in
the face of all the millions of peo-
pie who are starving, out OF work,
in CCC camps, and on the dole?
I am wondering if his viewpoint
would change if one of his sons, his
wife or mother were situated like
one of many in this country. What
we want and need in the presi-
Dental chair and in Congress are
humanitarian, fearless men who
can and will place the welfare of
these helpless millions above their
own selfishness and greed for po-
litical power.
1t will not be very long now until
we will be voting for new congress-
men. Let us see to it that we cast
our votes for men who are intel
ligent enough and have the vision
to think out some plan that will
work
This DR.. Townsend plan is prac-
tical and will work perfectly for the
good of all mankind. No politician
or congressman has offered any
thing that will work half as well.
Read it, study it, learn it.
Remember forced circulation of
money is the key to this plan, and
it will give you continued pros
perity.

VOLTAIRE WOULD PERMIT
YOU TO SAY 1T, THOUGH

By H. H., Clarks Hill
Even Voltaire would disapprove
of what I say so you fellows can't
be blamed for not printing it, but
you can read it and maybe it will
be a lesson to you.
AS regular reader of The Times
and an anti-Roosevelt Democrat,
think the partial writer's who edit
The Times editorial page argue
against themselves.
They say the du Points, Sloan
Raskob, E. T. Weir and others have
been helped by the New (mis) Deal
and yet they and Al Smith are
against it. Doesn't it show patriot
ism on their part to expose Roose-
velt'S Administration if that Ad-
ministration has been helping them
personally, as you say?
The Indians had a name for a
person like "Rosey." They said, 1.-THE
gentleman speaks with two
tongues"
Roosevelt should stand or fall or
his acts, because actions speak
louder than his words. He saio
prior to election, Reduce the cost
of government, balance the budget
He DID??? NOT!

How can you measure the length Of
a dream?
So long in sleep does it always
seem,
Hours or days as you follow it
through;
Yet know it passed in a second
or two.
Well, then what about this thing we
call life,
With either its joy or its long
hard strife?
Shall we wake on some morn the
cons span
And find life dream drawfed in a
greater plan?

DRAWS ATTACK

By Jack Dolan, Shelbyville
In your Feb. % issue Raymond
Clapper seemed very nervous at the
thought of Townsendites asking the
candidates to pledge their support
to the Townsend plan, and would
like to construe it as intimidation.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-29
The HOOsier Forum
disapprove of achat you sag, bu5 I noiu defend
TO the death your right to say u.-Votaire.

Would MIR. Clapper attempt to say
pledges are new thing in politics?
Pledges are as old as politics itself.
When corporation spends a mil
lion dollars to elect one man is that
man pledged? AS long as cor
poration pledged it's man everything
was jake. Now that the people have
caught up, it calls for an investiga-
ton.
The Townsend philosophy is
sound; the people want it. What
could be more sensible than vote for
a man who is pledged to support
it? Who should congressman
represent if not the majority who
elect him?
An investigation can only reveal
one fact-tile banker will not get
any interest," on the money-and that
is where the rub comes. The gov
eminent creates money, gives pen
sioner 5000. He spends it in one
month. Each dollar makes so trans
actions with 2 per cent tax. Each
time it will replenish itself and get
back to the pensioner for the next
month. Its purchasing power will
create employment in industry for
one man who can produce enough
in a 30-hOur week to keep himself
and dependents and the pensioner
in comfort, thereby creating per-
petual prosperity. Compare this
with what we now have; curtailing
food while millions are starving in
country capable OF producing five
times its need.
Isn't it strange we hear so much
ballyhoo every four years about
what the politicians want to do for
poor distressed people? When the
people undertake to do something
for themselves it is terrible crime
and should be investigated.

THE durable goods salesman con-

i tinued:
Take my business. What has
Roosevelt done for us. Why, he
called some of the leaders in the
machinery field to Washington to
ask what the government could do
My boss was one of them.
They told him what he could do
Instead of hiring a lot of men to
stand around with shovels in their
hands on WPA roads, ne could have
really helped us.
I'VE told him to have his Army
and Navy bases retooled. We asked
him to have his battleships brought
up to date. We wanted him to spend
a lot of that easy money making
the government machinery mod
ern.
But he didn't. Instead he hires
men to shovel as day laborers."
The old timer shook his head.
Anyway" he said, "I1l vote TO,
Roosevelt. Business is better"
Every one was pretty serious
about it.
A BUS driver plying between
L N South Bend and Elkhart picked
a conversation because he obviously
had to talk to some one.
Funny thing" he said, ST been
carrying little old man-see him
crossing that street, he just got off
well, guess I been carrying him
every day close to a year.
He gets on about four miles from
South Bend, and gets off at Elkhart
He takes the bus back an hour later
usually with bundles.
Like I say, I been carrying him
for a year and never noticed any
thing but that he was an old man
carrying a cane But today he had
no change and had to break dol
lar for him. When he got the
change he felt each piece of it as
he put it back in his pocket. I saw
it through the rear vision mirror
And I swear, he gets around sc
well that I bet you couldn't tel
either that he's as blind as a stone
That old man certainly knows how
to handle himself"

and most courageous thing he ever

campaign the inside dope on that.

was talking:
Business is better than it has
been for years. In 1882 our COM
pany, which normally employs
$500, had 600 on the pay roll. Now
we are back up to 4000

for Borah. He's kind of old, but,
oh, we'll I cant see Roosevelt.
I've got children coming up and

all his life, actually thinks? He
thinks Roosevelt won't even be
nominated.
II think we could have come out

He directed his question to a man
10 years old who has not been any

Yes" the older man said, we've
had other depressions. But we
never had one like this that I can
