INDIANA AND THE COURT

tional, as price-fxing statute which violates the
due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

FLYNN WRONG ON OARP,
WRITER SAYS

BY Joseph NJ. Taylor
1t is with some temerity that
undertake to reply to an article that
appeared in The Times Jan. "a by
John T. Flynn who presented a
searching analysis of the merits
and faults of the TOWNSEND pro-
gram" But he made statements
that are so misleading they should
have attention.
remember distinctly the para
graph about the coat. He bought
a coat for $50, then sold it to a
friend for $40 Thus the transac-
tons totaled $40. Of course there
was $40 in the two deals, but no one
was out $40, the seller got his money
back in the $40 for which he sold
the coat. In this entire deal there
was tax of 2 per cent on the $50
and another of per cent on the
$40.
1T is, of course, worse than that,
says Mr.. Flynn, because the taxes
start with the wool on the sheep
and the total transactions on a $40
suit may be $3.50" And it may not

of wool and it went through the

five times, before it got to the back

Divide that with the number OF
suits $500 worth of wool will make
and you will have the per cent cost
of one suit. The suit would cos

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ,

TINE planet Jupiter is very much
l. larger than the earth, and one
of its moons is very close to it. In
the case of this moon, the tidal
effect can be observed because the
pull of Jupiter on this moon is so
great that in the Telescope the lit
tie moon looks egg-shaped.
According to recent calculations,
each planet is surrounded by what
might be called a danger zone for
moons A moon approaching within
this zone would be subjected to so
great gravitational pull that it
would be broken to pieces. IT,
Many astronomers think that the
moon under discussion will even-
sually drop into this danger zone,
and that, as a result, it will be
broken up and so eventually form a
ring around Jupiter. 40
Now, one effect of a planets grav-
national action upon moon is to
slow it up. AS its velocity decreases,
it draws nearer to the plant. This
means that our moon is gradually
drawing nearer to the earth.
GONE day our earth will have no
- moon. Instead, there will be q
great ring around the earth, not
unlike the rings of Saturn, COM
posed of millions of tiny bits Of
rock. Those chunks of rock will
represent all that is left Of our
moon.
The basis for this prediction is to
be found in the theory now gen.
orally accepted by astronomers to
account for the rings around the
planet Saturn.
The new theory for the forma-
ton of these rings is tidal theory.
Every one knows that great tides
are caused in the oceans of the
earth by the tidal pull of our moon.
The fact has also been established
in recent years that the moon like
wise causes tides in the crust of the
earth. But these tides, because of
the nature of the earth's crust, are
too small to be seen easily. Their
existence, however, has been demon
strated by delicate scientific instru-
ments.
Now it must follow that if the
moon causes tides in the earth, The
earth must cause tides in the moon.

CITY CONGRATULATE
FOR YOUTH AID

By Harold E. Stolkin
One particular article arrested my
attention in your column the other
day. The writer pointed out the
ever increasing necessity for certain
organizations in the city existing for
the purpose of offering the men in
our community a place for good,
clean, wholesome competition.
My purpose in writing, however,
is not to further this particular con-
tention, but to commend the city on
it's generosity in affording the youth
ample room in which to practice
wholesome competition instead of
playing in the streets and getting
in with the wrong kind of company.
The Importance of this magnifi-
cent work will not be realized now,
but later when youth gradually
grows into manhood. Then, the re-
suit of the right environment in
youth will be used to the best adj
vantage.

URGES PUBLIC CONTROL
OF PRODUCTION

BY ii. L. Seeger
Six years of industrial stagnation
has not been sufficient to clear the
American mind on the matter of
choosing the proper course for in
dustrial control.
The liberty to own production
property associated with an agrarian
economy, on which the framework
of our political structure was built,
clingS tenaciously in our thoughts,
even though we have passed from
an agrarian to an industrial econ
omy.
Even the agrarian phase of our
present-day economy is bound to be
industrialized.
In the development of our ma
tional resources under private own
ership, we have experienced periods
of boom and depression. We have
produced a highly efficient indus
trial production machine, with an
exceedingly inefficient distribution
mechanism. We have forced a de-
struction of production to meet the
low consumption level due to inefh-
Gent distribution.

preachers, bankers, retired persons
millionaires and every person in the
government would pay 2 per cent
on every dollar he spends.
Mr.. Flynn winds up his diatribe
with this: There can be no doubt
that the plan would not aid the eco
nomic society. That being so ii
would not help the aged, for since
the money must come out of the
producing element of society, anc
since the producing element can not
pay it out of the present purchasing
power and since the plan will not
increase purchasing power, it would
break down altogether"
In contrast to this, George West
a licensed accountant of Chicago
says of the Townsend plan: In my
opinion it is the most practical plan
for our normal prosperity and fol-
keeping it, ever offered to any peo-
pie. It's enactment by Congress will
make our country bigger, better
happier and more Christian than
ever before"
