point of the depression, 1882, the
need for the Indianapolis School
City, as well as other govern
mental units, for a "pay-as-you-
go" plan with a refunding of the
bonded Indebtedness to spread it
out over a period of years EXTEND
ing through 1916, instead of pres
ent bond maturities ending in
1868.
The bonded Indebtedness at the
time of the report was $1,OOO,OOO

CRITICISM of former flnanc-
~ ing was given as follows:
In the fever of postwar &C
tlvlty the school city, civil city
and the county anticipated that
such conditions would continue
and the units of government failed
to schedule bond retirements in
a manner whereby an equable dis
tribution of the debt load could
be made for the future.
I'VE urged to escape the con-
quences of the past, that, Uiai-
form amount of bonds be retired
yearly. AS this would be less than
the average scheduled for the
whole period we recommend that
the difference created be reflected

taxes. Nor do public officials en-
joy asking people to do so.
The property tax burden falls
upon every citizen in the COM
munity."
But on the other hand" con-
tinued Mr.. Wilde, "the benefits of
our school system are likewise to
the benefit of all our citizens, re-
CARELESS of whether they have
children in the public schools or
not. No citizen will begrudge the
expenditure of money necessary
to overcome the existing shortage
in school facilities if due care
and economy are exercised IN the
process"
a Lam BOYD, attorney and
1 n school commissioner, said:
THAT taxes are burdensome, is
undeniable. The question of what
the taxpayers is buying for his
money is a major consideration.
He can make no better invest
ment than to insure sanitary,
comfortable and efficient condi-
tons for the children of Indian
apolis, under which they may
obtain the best education and
training we can provide"

A Test of Character

This means that he may be tried before court
OF neighborhood ne'er-do-wells on a charge of
treason and shot locked up for the rest of his life
without a chance to clear his name. If he keeps
his liberty his fight is lonely one, because if he
tries to enjoy the companonship of other game
dissenters spy will report that they are plot
ting treason, and the gang will come and get him
in the night
All this is bad enough, but the test of character
is even worse torture if he has family because his
wife and children naturally will be made to suffer-
too. His wife is doomed to spend the rest of her
life cut off from the normal friendships and social
relations OF her station, and the children find them
selves excluded from the Fairgrounds of the Nad
kids whose pleasures are entirely warlike.
Thus in organizing the new Germany Hitler
has drawn heavily on the ranks of the mediocrties
and towards who fight only in packs. 1t would be
foolish to suggest that all Nazs are yellow although
they include all the front-runners in the country
but the highest courage they will be called upon
to display can not compare to that of the true
German who deliberately chose to defy them know
ing what lonely miserable future he was in for
There are more upstream fish in Germany than
you would be likely to suspect but individuals among
their number disappear quietly into their graves or
concentration camps, and the rebels themselves have
no way of determining how numerous they are,
although Hitler probably knows.
Sometimes their courage fails and they surrender
and when that happens the Nazs gloat over the
vanqushment of brave Germans who reached the
end of their endurance.

They went to work at 9 in the morning finished
their job around of the same day. In the
course of three hours they examined close to 700
entries, picked 208 1t works out around 10 seconds

AT that, last years show was good one-the best,
perhaps, of any held during the Peat pontificate.
So what?
We bring up the subject today because some time
this week Clifford Beal and Ncoai Cikovsky (who
know their busineSs) came to town to pick the pic
lures for the Twenty Ninth Annual Indiana Artists
Show, which opens tomorrow to begin months
run at the John Heron Art Institute.
We can hardly wait to learn whether this years
judges were fast enough to lick last years show.
QEGINNING next Monday the H. Lieber Gallery
- will show group of colored reproductions of
Vincent Goghs work.
On July 81, 1890, Vincent Gogh picked I'D re-
volver; threatened his doctor, then shot himself in
the stomach Some say he chose his chest It
doesn't matter much. His last words were: Did
you know such clumsy and helpless fellow
me?"
Some time before that he cut off his right ear,
gave it to girl in payment of tip. He had
no money at the time.
What happened before that is the story of
bruised and battered life
Son of Dutch parson, Vincent Gogh wanted
to follow his fathers calling. Unsuccessful as a
postulant, he became church lay reader instead,
then missionary, until his passion for giving away
everything he owned. including his bed led to ex-
pulson.
He turned to painting, painfully picking his way
as he went. Except for help from his family and a
little advice from Paul Gaughin who was yet to
make his reputation in the South Seas, Van Gogh
received no encouragement whatever. Quite the con-
trary. Crusty Cezanne, fearful for the future of
French art, implored him to STOP
Van Gogh sent everything he painted to his only
friend, younger brother, Theo, who was a fairly
successful dealer in Paris. Brother Theo tried his
best sold two paintings sent Vincent 81 for the FIRST

receipts of Vincent Goghs entire career.
Today, As years after his death, you have to cod
die dealer to let you have Van Gogh landscape

I'VE shouldn't incur any more
debts until we get out of this de-
preston Two or three years from
now we may be able to carry the
load, but 1ow-I can't see it,
y
MRS. JAMES L. MURRAY of
A'A indianapolis, legislative chair
man of the Indiana Congress of
Parent Teachers Association,
said:
Personally I think the Indian
apolis School Board is taking the
only way possible to get new
buildings. There has been a
great increase in high school en-
rollments, we know. The ability
to sell bonds is at too low an ebo
to help build schools. Direct
taxation is the only thing to do
If we want schools to care for the
increased enrolment. No one
likes increased taxes, but I don't
see how we can solve the situas ton
in any other way"
John G. Kirch, president of the
South Side Civic Club, said: 1T
think if we keep on fooling
around our schools are going to
bankrupt our country. 1t seems
the more we educate, the more
crooked they seem to get. If it
wasn't for a few Of us older ones
who got our education in a little
red schoolhouse instead of a COL
lege education, God knows what
would become of us. don't
think our club will be in favor of
a $2,000.O0O expenditure for city
schools"
Mrs. George Shepherd, presi-
dent of the Brookside Civic
League, said:
Our league has not taken &C
ton on the plans of the school
board. I am personally familiar
with the need for more schools
and the crowded condition of
Technical High School and feel
that more and better buildings
are necessity"
A LBERT NEUERBERG, presi-
< n dent of Sherman Emerson
Civic League, said:
Il don't like to say anything
to hurt the construction of need
ed buildings, but I believe we
should get more value than we
receive from our money. We
should have better financing of
schools than we have had in the
past. All branches of govern
ment should be operated more
economically and that applies to
the school system, too"
Defending the use of direct
taxation to build structures and
end overcrowding and health
hazards, Carl Wilde, Indianapolis
School Board president, said:
Provision must be made dur
ing the next several years for
funds to meet the most acute sit
uatlons. This would mean
that some money must be raised
by property tax levy. Naturally
the public does not relish paying

IN lower taxes or else used for
necessary projects, rather than
issue new bonds to finance such
expenditures. This will mean an
Inauguration of pay-as-you-go
system for the future"
Graphs leveling off the debt load
SO that the school city would spread
its bills until 1916, at the rate of
$25O,000 in bond maturities yearly,
and thereby escape the almost
100000 debt mountain that
faces the school city in 1939-1940
were outlined. aa7s lsIf5aic 31
Today, officials of the Indiana
Taxpayers Association point to
these graphs, suggestions for
"pay-as-you-go" plan, and relate
how their plans received
thumbs down." They say the re-
funding of good portion of the
bonded Indebtedness should have
been done during the years of the
depression or as much as could
have been done.
TINE factor of high interest
l. rates of bond issues written
in the boom postwar period of
1919-1920 as we'll as in normal
years plays a role in cutting down
the debt load.
Business Director A. B. Good
says that bond issues carrying in
terest rates of as high as Az
per cent We're issued in 1920 and
that his office would be "tickled
to death" to retire those bonds if
they could be found. Investors
holding the expensive money
bonds are content to clip coupons
and collect philanthropic rate
Of interest during these days of
cheap money and low interest
rates.
School officials cite the incident
OF one man who came into the
school business office with a bond
maturing at rate of 31a per cent
interest who said:
I'D be glad to keep this bond
forever and let you have the
principal as long as I get my 31a
per cent interest Do you know
where can find some more of
them?"
HOWEVER, the finance and
Il l. building committees of the
school board say that tight money
or cheap money school patrons ex-
pect their children to be housed
in sanitary buildings, given ample
work room and ample instruction
and be safe from health hazards.
They point to outside toilet ia
cilities, to overcrowding in city
high schools to a degree where
teachers and students double-up
in seats and desks, and to Tech
rical High School structures
termed unsafe from health and
fire standpoints.
Then they point to an ever-in-
creasing high school enrolment
which by the time the School
City reaches its debt peak in 1882
1870 may require two additional
high schools to house new stu
dents.
And they say: What should
we do? Who Or what comes first?
The answer lies with the parent
and the taxpayers in Indianapo-
lis"

Streicher-Super-Patriot

7>HEY had an occasion of this kind few months
ago when Julius Streicher, who made his for
tune publishing obscene literature in the guise of
patriotic campaign against the Jews presided at
dinner for 1900 political prisoners who had just
been released. There were brave and patriotic Ger
mans seated all around him, whose health and de-
termination had finally cracked in prison. but
Strecher and in the role of super-patriot pa
tronlzngy offered to provide railroad fare and pass
ports to Russia for all who wanted to go there
1t is this assumption that any one who isn't a
Nazl must be Communist which intensfes the
difficulty of the non-conforming patriotic Germans
And the fact that none of the guests accepted
Strechers offer was interpreted to mean that 1900
Communists had just been beaten into submission
1t is perfectly plain that most of the Nazis are
Nazls because they are afraid to hold out They
are afraid of one another. Afraid of the police of
the janitor, the waiter and the housemaid and they
give up money in fear to hundred rackets as the
collectors come around in uniform with the
swastika on the left arm, rafting the cup and
laundering the challenge Hell, Hitler!"
1t is strange method, Hitler's. He reduced his
people to trembling cowardice told them how brave
they were to submit to a few hoodlums and organ
lied a government combining the methods of the
Ku-Klux and Al Capone.
