ECONOMIC HIGHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

January was much better than the
month has been for a number of
years. Rumors of ambitious plans
for 1887 cars are leaking out, and
many car makers are planning ex-
tensive and expensive retooling
programs. Used cars, with which
all markets are glutted, constitute
one of the industry's annoying
problems. 1t is forecast that
makers may carry on a campaign
to rid the highways of wrecks,
paying dealers bonuses for old
cars that are completely junked.
Employment: The unemployed
total is going down, but the
figure is still plenty large. Bust
ness Week says that in December
it fell below 100000 for the
first time since 1881, and though
no end of other estimates are
available, this is probably close
to the truth. The tendency is
still slowly downward.
Political events, of course. can
cause drastic changes in business
conditions, and a general cleo
ton is always unsettling. How
ever, more and more of the com
mentators are saying that 1886
may disprove the old-and not
always true-saying that an cleo
ton year must be business
year.
The most accurate way to eval-
uate a country's tax burden is in
the light of the relation of taxes
to the national income. On that
basis, the U. S. tax problem is
becoming steadily worse.
A United States News tabula-
ton says that when our national
income reached its 1929 peak of
$40, 100000, taxation ac-
counted for 12.4 per cent of it.
In 1888, national income touched
its postwar, dropping to $43,-
500,000,000. and taxes took 1876
per cent. In 1884 and 1885,
taxes took 10 per cent and 1871
per cent of the national income,
respectively.
Highest taxed nation is Eng
land, where 25 per cent of ma
tional income goes for taxation.
But England has a balanced bud
get, while in the U. S. government
spending is far outrunning rev.
enue and creating deficits which
must be paid for in the future.

would be headed by a health officer,
who naturally would be physician;
a public health nurse service, and a
sanitation personnel headed by an
engineer capable of dealing with
water, milk, food and sewage.
Such a plan has been in operation
in Lake County since January.
Additional Federal funds obtain
able for child and maternal health
are to be spent largely for educa-
tional work For example, lecturers
are to be sent into communities to
enlighten residents on child and
maternal problems. Part of the
money may be spent for motion pic
lures dealing with such subjects.
Three Bills Drawn
OF the three social security bills
drawn for the special session, it is
believed the health bill is to be
least mutilated, if at all, by amend
ments. The measures dealing with
unemployment insurance and the
old-age pension, blind pension and
children's welfare administration
are expected to be riddled with
changes before being signed by
Gov. McNutt.
The answer to the best admins
tration for the problems is such a
controversial one, and since there
is such a lack of past experience,
drastic changes are regarded as in
evitable.
In contrast, it is pointed out that
the state health department, in OPP
Grafton more than SO years, is
broadening it's work rather than
taking on an unfamiliar activity.
1t was largely because of its
established status, legislative lead
ers say, that the department was
not put under the proposed State
Welfare Board which is to admin
lister most social security work.
Must Meet Qualifications
The department is now required
by law to pass or qualifications of
county health officers and public
nurses. 1t does not appoint, but
prescribes their requirements.
DR.. Harvey's attitude toward
public health work is interesting in
view of the battle between propon-
ents of ''home rule" and strong
centralized administration.
Il am opposed" he says, ito using
ALLEGATIONS to build and increase
the state agency. Naturally, some
growth is necessary because of in
creased supervision likely to ensue
as counties participate.
my chief interest is in using as
much as possible of the funds for
promoting more adequate public
health facilities in communities"

Indiana is to have health pro-
gram broad in scope, but not initially
costly, as a result of the states par
ticipation in the health phase of So
cial security legislation.
The program to be financed
jointly by the state and Federal gov
ernments and is divided into two
phases, public health and child and
maternal health.
The state is to receive approx
mately $131 900 for both parts of the
program. In addition, there is ap-
proximately $4,000 that may be
made available without matching
that amount, and another 100000
that may be obtained by matching.
DR.. Verne K. Harvey, director of
the Division of Public Health, adj
ministrative agency, does not believe
the 100000 is to be needed. The
amount necessary is to be deter
mined by the alacrity with which
the counties join in the program.
May Become Necessary
The division now operates on an
annual budget of approximately
100000. Enough of this now is
spent on health work to allow the
state to obtain slightly more than
100000 without matching.
Part of the money allocated I'M
der the Federal program is for spe-
cial health problems. 1t is possible
that this fund, $3.50, to be matched
by state funds, may not be used
because the ALLEGATIONS for this
phase of work were made chiefly
on the basis of geographical prob
lens. These include malaria and
pel,agra in the south and the re-
current plague menace near sea-
ports.
DR.. Harvey believes, however, that
the growing industrial Importance
of the state may make it necessary
to use this fund for research and
study of occupational disease.
County Plan Advocated
VIEWS VI OOllllS 11ODhlllo dAlQ I1dl :"
ward experts are regarded as the
best thought on the subject, DR..
Harvey said. Accordingly, these
ideas probably are to be followed in
setting up activities made possible
by Federal aid.
The public health phase of social
security, it is emphasized, is to deal
with rural areas except where
agreements are made with cities.
indianapolis probably is to be pre-
cluded from participation because
it is operating under an old law
passed especially for its benefit.
Although a county unit plan is
advocated by medical authorities DR..
Harvey does not regard a county of
less than 10000 population adapt
able for the plan, unless it combines
with another.
There probably are to be three
main divisions in the county sys-
tenn, according to DR.. Harvey. 1t

President Observes Third
Anniversary as Head
of Nation.

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 4.
President Roosevelt OBJ
served the third anniversary
of his Inauguration today,
we'll into his 1886 fight for re-
election against campaign
criticism of New Deal spend
ing and continued unemploy-
ment.
The President is charged with vio-
lating his oath to protect the Con-
stitution. He has countered that
the Supreme Court has placed a
narrow horse and buggy" in
depreciation on the Federal govern
ment's authority to cope with ma.
tional questions.
Republican attack strikes at al
legged White House grasping of
power. The New Deal claims, how
ever, that the little fellow" element
OF the population accepts Mr..
Roosevelt as its champion and will
parade to the polls for him.
Democratic leaders find much COM
fort in the belief that labor gen.
orally leans toward the New Deal,
Farley Is Confident

Farley predicts the election will re-
turn in unprecedented vote of con-
f1dence in Roosevelt reform and re-
covery. But the Republican leg
ions, which were hopeless Is months
ago, have found new confidence in
evidence that the Presidents popu-
larity has slumped.
Re-alignment of political parties
is underway as this anniversary
passes and the nation heads into
the presidential campaign. A fac
ton of conservative Democrats has
bolted Mr.. Roosevelt and others are
preparing to take a walk.
Some progressive Republicans are
marching with New Deal troops.

Unemployment Heads List
This third anniversary finds M
Roosevelt possessing some advantag
in the presidential sweepstakes, Blu
far from the long-odds favorite h,
appeared TO be Is months ago.
Government spending and contin-
ued unemployment are at the top of
any list of anti-Roosevelt campaign
issues. Data on the jobless are
faulty. but it is assumed upward of
100000 to 100000 employable
persons still lack jobs provided by
private capital.
Federal spending and a series of
unbalanced budgets beginning in
1881 when Mr.. Hoover was in the
White House have unnerved a large
element of the business community
and led to threats and fears Of cur
rency or credit imitation.

dars of bills held over from the
1885 session. Failure of the two
houses to take this action would
leave the bills "alive" and subject
to consideration.
From South Bend today came re-
ports that the four st. Joseph
County Republican members of the
assembly have pledged themselves
against such move. They are
Senator Ralph Jernegan and Reps.
Clyde Jordan, George Matthews
and Stanley Gilbert. Senator Jer-
negan has pending in the upper
house, a bill for gross income tax
law repeal and substitution of a
sales tax. Rep. Gilbert has a like
bill pending in the House.
Voice Opposition to Feature
All four voiced opposition to the
Capitalization features of the well
fare bill and agreed they will join
the large group which will insist on
paying old-age pensions to persons
IS in 1887. The bill now provides
for payment to persons of that age
in 1888.
Merchants of Huntington, Ind.
and Huntington County last night
passed a resolution asking TO, the
repeal of the gross income tax law
at the special session.
Merchants at Muncie also ha ye
begun circulation of letters asking
support in movement to repeal the
law.
Members of both houses are to
caucus tonight at 7:30, the majority
members at the Statehouse and the
minority at the Clapyool. Provisions
may be made tonight for public
hearings on the controversial I'M
employment insurance bill. Both
employer and employe groups are
seeking representation.
Organization Is Intact
The machinery necessary to per-
form the routine functions of the
assembly is expected to start click
ing smoothly Immediately for the
organization used in the last SEES
sion is intact. Members of the as
sembly staff who have become regu-
lar administration employees have
been given leaves of absence for
duration of the session.
Each house is to convene at 10
tomorrow morning and then meet
in the House of Representatives in
joint session to hear Gov. McNutt' S
social security message.
Program for the remainder of
the day is unsettled. Adrninistra-
ton leaders are considering the 81
multaneous introduction of the three
social security bills in each house
tomorrow afternoon.
Impetus to active opposition to the
social security welfare bill was given
yesterday when the county and
township officers association adopted
resolutions condemning the admin
istration program.
Smith Would Join Bolt
Senator Leo x. Smith, Indianap-
oils, announced he would join in any
attempt that may be made to bolt
the session. Administration leaders
deprecated reports that the county
and township organization might be
able to muster so much opposition to
the administration program that a
quorum would not be obtainable.
Senator Smith has prepared a bill
limiting the number of old-age pen
sion investigators and welfare work
ers and requiring the Senate's ap-
proval of State Welfare Board ap-
pointmentS.

guard and continue good relations
betwee!. our cOuntrieS?"
Eyes, absolutely"
Admittedly, Communism has not
been achieved in Russia. State
socialism has. Have not Fascism in
Italy and National Socialism in
Germany claimed to have attained
similar results? Have not both
been achieved at the price of de-
privation of personal liberty,
sacrificed for the good of the
State?"
Communism Not Achieved
mo, Communism has not been
achieved in the Soviet Union so far.
1t is not easy. But your term state
socialism is not exact.
Many people refer to a condition
as state socialism when a con-
siderable amount of national wealth
passes to government ownership,
sometimes for military advantage,
even though the majority of wealth
remains in private hands.
THE social order which we have
built up so far can not be termed
state socialism in this sense. The
Soviet system is fundamentally
socialistic because there is no
private ownership of factories, land,
banks, railways, mines, etc. Our
system-which not yet has been
quite completed-is socialistic be-
cause the foundation of society is
common states ownership, owner
ship by the people or ownership by
co-operatlveS and collective farms.
Everybody Obliged to Work"
italian Fascism or German Ma
tional Socialism do not have any,
thing in common with such a sys-
tenn because in those countries pri-
.yate ownership of industry is not
affected. Capitalism in those coun-
tries still has full effectiveness.
Under socialism a certain in
equality concerning property re-
mains but there is no more unem-
ployment, exploitation or oppression
of one nationality by another.
Everybody is obliged to work and is
compensated not according to his
needs but according to the quantity
and quality of the work.
THAT is why wages have not been
equalized. Only that society can be
called Communistic in which people
are compensated not on the basis
OF the quantity or quality of the
work produced but on the basis of
their needs.
Perhaps you thing Socialist soci-
ETY. discounts personal liberty, but
chat is not correct If you are going
to build house you must economic
and make sacrifices Even more is
it true if you are building a new So
ciety.
1T is necessary for us temporarily
to limit certain of our demands to
accumulate the necessary resources.
We have made this sacrifice with
the definite objective of developing
real freedom in the best sense of
the term
do you view as compatible"
Stain was asked, "the coincidental
development of American democracy
and the Soviet system?"
"Yes. American democracy and
the Soviet system can exist and
compete peacefully but one can
never develop into the other. Soviet
democracy will never evolve into
American democracy or vice versa.
I'VE can exist and develop peace
fully if we do not indulge in too
much mutual fault-finding about
trifling things"
