Man has gone blidly and ignor-
antly ahead and has had his own
sweet way in the matter of straight
ening streams, draining bodies Of
water and cutting timber on water
sheds to bring more land into pro-
duction, Nature is now taking her
turn. The water level in many sec
lions of the country has been low
cred to a point where springs and
streams cease flowing soon after
the rains cease falling and vegeta-
ton and trees are unable to stand
up even during a short dry spell.
The Strengthened channels Of the
streams flow like mill races and
discharge their water into the rivers
to create costly floods. Everywhere
crop yields are lowered. Man is now
forced to pay for his folly by restor-
ing the water to the soil. He will
have to acknowledge that the Gre
ator knew what he was doing when
he made the earth, and give back
a certain amount of land to water
storage in the shape of lakes and
ponds and timbered water sheds.
Even the soil rebels against the
ruthless and greedy policy of al
ways taking and never giving.

have distinct benefit from their
enactment, and the possibilities for
other disadvantageous features
creeping in through the wording,
or lack of it, are tremendous. It is
this angle that makes most of these
initiatives SO vicious. It's not what
it is proposed to do, but what could
be done, that makes it unwise in
most cases for the public to take
on these untried experiments.

Merchants and storekeepers all
over the country are somewhat wor-
ried because of the complaints Gus
toners are constantly making at the
cost of goods. They are beginning
now in self defense to display signs
or give verbal facts on how the
mounting tax costs enter into the
high costs they must charge. Such q
program inevitably will lead to
wholesale denunciation and criti-
cism of mounting taxes. People are
becoming more and more tax con-
scious. They will become still more
SO as time goes on and it begins
to dawn on people how unacceptable
this system Of high taxes really is to
be. It's just too bad that people did
not think deeper about these things
before the system was imposed on
us. instead Of waiting to get arous-
ed until it is too late and the fid-
dler must be paid.

THE AMERICAN RECORD

IdE AMEFC1CAN fCEOOfSD
One out of every two families in
the United States owns the home it
lives in.
More than twenty million Amer
leans own automobiles.
More than twenty million own
radios.
More than forty million have saw
ings accounts.
More than sixty million hold in
surance policies.
No nation on earth can match
this record.
Who made it all possible? The
politicians? They'd like to have you
think so. Often they try to create
that impression.
But the credit doesn't belong to
them.
It belongs to the American people
themselves. It was they who achiev-
ed it through long years Of work
and resourcefulness and insistence
on the right to direct their own la
bors, their own lives, their own gov
eminent.
That is something to remember
when politicians imply that the
American worker and Garner is no
longer capable of running his own
affairs.
It is something to remember when
they propose that we reject the
American way of doing things In
favor Of methods suggested by ex-
periments In Europe, where, under
dictators or other political leaders,
bureaucratic central government
plans and directs each individuals
life and labor.
It's something to remember when
they say In eject: well do all the
directing, while you do all the work
then everybody will be happy"
But, under such conditions, would
q
everybody be happy? The records
of nations which have carried that
system to it's ultimate conclusion
don't show so. They show instead q
tragic picture of turmoil and pri-
yation and loss of all personal lib
erty.
There stands the contrast.
On one side a free country with
a higher record of individual well
being and a greater measure Of per-
sonal liberty than any nation on
earth; on the other, regimented au-
tocracy with liberty and religion and
opportunity in chains.
Which do the American people
prefer?
The choice is ours to make.

This community received some
undesirable publicity the past week
over a report which made the
dailies of an infantile paralysis cpl
demic here. AS a matter Of fact
there was no epidemic, and but one
case. This one occurred about q
month ago, and was sent to the
coast long before it was determined
that the patient actually did have
the disease. There have been no
new cases, thank heaven, either here
or across the river, but it was due
perhaps to the precautions which
were taken to prevent just such an
occurrence. The announcement in
the paper locally last week was not
to throw the community into pam
ic, but simply to prevent the intro
duction of the disease into the dis
trict. We felt, along with the doc
tors, that it was better to be strict
about preventives than to have an
outbreak of the disease. It's moth
ing to get excited about, but every
precaution should be taken to pre-
vent even single case.

Begins to look like the board of
regents at the state university have
little cleaning to do. It is reliably
reported that at least three profess
ors in the university are taking con-
siderable active interest in the
strike situation in Seattle affecting
the Post-Intelligencer. If this be
true they should be relieved of their
university duties. Taxpayers do not
foot the bill for university profess
ors to become involved in questions
of this sort. The university is q pub
lie institution, and it is always more
or less of a job to keep it free from

use it. Grandview Herald.

CONGRESS-

In Decentralization year,
with the headlines and the thoughts
OF the voters concerned almost en-
tirely with the opposing candidates
for the nations highest office, the
next Congress comes in for relative
" little attention. But Congress is
always vitality important. A stubborn
Congress can just about ruin a
Presidents program and ambitions
las Hoover found out in his last
two years. And friendly Congress
can make the White House legis-
lative paradise as Roosevelt learn
ed in his first two years, when the
legislative branch of the govern
ment succumbed to the influence
and appeal of the executive.
Makeup of the next House of
Representatives will be largely de-
pendent on who rises to the Presi-
dency-if Mr.. Roosevelt is re-elect-
ed, it will be certain that the House
will be proponderantly Democratic,
while If Governor Landon comes in,
the Republicans will undoubtedly
control the lower branch. Repre-
sentatives must run for Office every
two years, and their political life is
often very short.

Work in Brown County
Benjamin Wallace Douglass
Repeats Criticism to
Scientech Club.

The Federal governments plan to
buy up barren ground in Brown
County to be turned into a forest
was branded as "communistic" this
afternoon by Benjamin Wallace
Douglass, apple bitter manufacturer
of Trevlac, Ind.
The Republican county chairman
of Brown County in 1888, MIR. Doug
lass, author of THE New Deal
Comes to Brown County," addressed
the Scientech Club luncheon in the
Board of Trade.
Going back to the beginning of
the New Deal and its effect in
Brown County, Mr.. Douglass at
tackled the NRA Gamers, code for
attempting to regulate the hours
and wages of his employees.
He charged that the provisions of
the Gamers code were dictated by
the American Federation of Labor
The rural resettlement program OF
buying up submarginal land in
Brown County was termed forest
fantasy" by Mr.. Douglass.
1.-THE whole forest-buying pro-
gram, he said, sis a complicated
mass of contradictory ideas, of sill
ly plans, of political intrigue, of i'm
practical, amateurish notions.
There is not sound idea in the
whole mess. 1t is unsound, if for
no other reason because it is fan
tasy."
He attacked the wheat reduction
and corn-hog program and said
that Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace and Rexford Tugwell
resettlement director were violent
ly idealistic"
Charging that New Deal policies
were similar to those of Soviet Rus
STA, Mr.. Douglass said:
"We have directed ourselves for
a long time. + do not believe that
America will calmly give up a right
that her dominant race has enjoyed
for some 10 centuries"

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 2o.-District
Attorney F. x. Geoghan of Kings
County sought an immediate in
dictment today of Martin Schloss-
man, 80, who is said to have con-
fessed participation in the kidnap-
ing of Paul H. Wendell which fur
nished one of the last sensations of

more" persons today.
Police activities indicated that one
or two men identified as Schloss-
mans accomplices were under ar
rest or observation in Detroit.

married man, signed a confession
last night, Geoghan said, that con-

CLARK MALLORY
DIES HERE AT IS
Retired Business Man to Be
Buried Wednesday in
Crown Hill.

Clark E. Mallory, Christian Sci

apolis business man, died today in
his home, 1850 N. Meridian-St, after
an illness of more than a year.
Funeral services are to be con-
Quoted by Thomas Perine at 10

been associated with the Kahn Tail
oring Co. He was receiver for Hib-
ben ollweg Co. in 1880. Illness
forced his retirement from business
in 1882.

Roberta B. Spellman Mallory, to
whom he was married in 1884, and

Cheaper to Buy Land and
Move Natives, Service
Club Told.

Ralph F. Wilcox, Region No. 5
chief of the Project Development of
the Federal Resettlement Admin
istration, today answered criticisms
Of Benjamin Wallace Douglass,
Brown County New Deal foe, before
the Service Club in the Lincoln.
Mr.. Wilcox, who is in charge of
Federal buying of 125.000 acres of
sub-marginal land in five Middle
western states, said that Mr.. Doug
lass criticism was not we'll founded.
He said that Mr.. Douglass has
been able to make his sub-marginsl
Brown County land pay only be-
cause he had funds with which to
buy and plant trees to correct ero-
sion, and had the vision to do it.
That, he said is exactly what the
government is doing. But it would
cost the government more, he said
to build roads, build and maintain
schools, and pay relief to present
occupants of sub-marginal land
than to buy the land outright.
In one county-Martin-h said
survey showed that it would take
million dollars more of Federal
money to rehabilitate the land than
it would to buy it and turn it into
Federal-owned parks and recreation
centerS.
When purchases of sub-marginal
land are completed, and the land
has been treated for erosion, the
hills, denuded by the lumber and
farming industries, again will have
trees, and the woods will once more
resemble Indiana before they were
recklessly wasted, he said.
Resettled farmers will be able, he
said, to make living on land fit
to farm and thus go off Federal re-
lief, he said.

GARDEN CLUBS, !
REALTORS DAY
HELD AT SHOW
Florists Also Honored To-
day; Attendance Records
Are Shattered.

Members of Garden Clubs, florists
and north side realtors were to be
honored today at the Home Show
with each group holding special
luncheon at the exposition.
A style show is being sponsored
by L. S. Ayres & CO.
Indiana Day yesterday shattered
all attendance records, with an at
tendance approximately IA per cent
higher than former marks.
j. Frank Cantwel!, managing
director of the show, estimated
that at least rs per cent of the
patrons were from throughout the
state and the rest from Indian
apolis.
Tabulator Goes Blind
So large was the crowd that the
electric eye" tabulator became dis
abled and an emergency double
entrance had to be opened.
One of the exhibits attracting q
great deal of attention was the
French design model home. It's
air conditioning unit was placed in
operation yesterday. Women par
ticularly admired the semi-circular
electric fireplace and the all-clec-
trio kitchen.
Mr.. Cantwell said the Indian
apolis show has attracted such wide
attention that a New York resi-
dent, travelling East, stopped here
and placed a large order for cellar
waterproofing after seeing the dis
plays.
Mr.. Cantwell paid tribute for the
increased attendance at the show
to representatives of the Federal
Housing Administration. The lat
ter have been instrumental in spur
ring interest in the show elsewhere
in the state, he said.
