LAUNCH DRIVE
TC CLEAN UP
WHITE RIVER
MunCie Plant Ordered to
Stop Alleged Pollution
of Stream.

BY working south from the upper
reaches of White River, the State
Department Of Commerce and In
dustry eventually hopes to clean
the stream, w. II. Frazier, execu-
tive engineer, announced today.
In administering the new anti
stream pollution law, he said, the
department recently has ordered
the Kuhner Packing Co, Muncie,
to stop its alleged pollution Of White
River b. Aug. /.
This action was taken, he ex-
planned, when the department
learned the Muncie city govern
ment plans to install sewage dis
posal equipment soon. Bonds to pay
material costs for the project are
to be issued April 10, Mr.. Frazier
added, and WPA is to furnish labor.
Then the department plans to
take up the pollution problem at
Anderson and Noblesville.
The civil city of Hartford City,
the Hartford City Corrugated Paper
Co., and the Fort Wayne Corrugat-
ed Paper Co. of Fort Wayne have
been directed to stop alleged dump

chase for County Use.

Five city and county officials de-

Ohio for the purpose of inspecting
highway equipment which the city is
to buy and lend to the county.
Two large scarifler graders, cost
ing approximately $4,000, and snow
plows are expected to be included in
the purchase which is a result of a
compromise in the recent city-coun-
ty gasoline tax revenue dispute.

LITTLE VS.. BIG

CONGRESS has begun another attempt to fill
~ one of the holes left by the death of NRA.
Hearings are being held before group of House
judiciary committee members on a series of bills
designed TO prevent price determinations in whole
sale trade
Coal men, the first scheduled witnesses, are to be
followed by spokesman for grocery and drug groups
manufacturers, wholesalers and brokers'
Soon after NRA was declared unconstitutional
last spring various bills introduced attempting
to get at various phases of the price problem and
TO equalize differences between large and small
businesses judiciary subcommittee, headed by
Rep. Utterback Cd, LAD, was appointed to handle
them and has been studying the situation since.
AS a result Rep. Utterback has framed bill of
his own, pending before the committee. It
would amend the Clayton antitrust act in num-
Der of important respects.
1t would place a specific ban on basing point
price systems.
1t would forbid price discrimination in interstate
commerce.
1t would provide strict regulation of quantity
discounts, and would forbid payment of brokerage
commissions and allowances except in very lin
tied number of specific cases.
ID EP. UTTERBACK denies his bill is aimed at
big business and says instead that his intention
is simply ito put all business on basis of equality
by preventing price determinations"
He believes a number of large manufacturers
where they are not controlled by pool or monopoly
would like to be freed of pressure constantly brought
on them to grant rebates and other allowances
In a sense however, the hearings will be con-
tnuation of the long battle waged between bigness
and ttleness in business. 1t began with the Sher-
man Act, passed in the Cleveland Administration
but quickly amended to inocuous form Next came
the passage in 1918 of the Clayton Act made useless
in number of respects by subsequent Supreme
Court decisions.
The battle continued under MIRA with foes of
monopoly gradually swinging around to the point of
be used as a weapon against small independents
Under the Utterback bill the Federal Trade Com
mission would be given the task of enforcing the ban
on discriminatory price schedules
Other legislation pending in Congress would give
the commission freer hand in dealing with decep-
tive acts and practices well unfair competition
In the Senate Senator Borah is backing he most
sweeping measure yet proposed on the subject 1t
would forbid person to quote lower prices in one
place than he offers in others or to quote unreason-
prevent any price variation based on differences in
selling expense transportation cost or competitive
conditions.

IT CAN HAPPEN HERE

IF you have read Sinclair Lewis 1T Can't Happen
Here"-and you should-you will remember how
Editor Doremus Jessup felt against danger of
Fascist coup in this free American republic And
then, rather suddenly, such coup bounced on him
and other freemen and enslayed them under bru-
tai and vulgar dictatorship.
Fascism came to America in the book through
false sense of security Things happening right
about us today that should jar that sense. For in
stance
The discovery in Washington of an organization
calling itself "The American Union Men" lobbying
for bill in Congress to put all labor unions under
commission of high ranking oficers--an incredible
proposal but seriously preached by it's Fascist minded
hackers;
Passage by the United States Senate of the Tyd-
ings-McCormack bill, which would make felon
of any one who criticised the Army or Navy;
Propaganda being stirred behind that other ILL.,
favored measure, the Kramer bill Federal anti
sediton bill as dangerous to liberty the notorious
alien and sediton acts of 1798
The Blanton rider to the District of Columbia ap-
preparation BILL requiring all teachers to every
month they have not discussed Communism
The invasion of schools and colleges by patricteer-
ing and journalistic red-baters bent terror1zing
teachers and crushing free and liberal thought;
general strikes; race-hating movements; vigilante
rule lynchings and other outbreaks of lawlessness
Some of these things will be laughed at as ridcu-
lous. They seem ridiculous, but Mussoini
before he organized his march Rome. So
Herr Hitler, when he began his Inflated Munich
beerputsch. So Huey Long when he started out
to seize free commonwealth and put it under his
capricious rule.
Yes, it can happen here. The germs of Fascism
are scattered wide. Unless those who love liberty
put themselves on guard, the germs will spread
Some day may wake up, as Doremus Jessup
did, to find the enemy in power.

MASS HOUSING

MOST nearly right. we believe, in it's approach to
the rnany-sded problem of housing is the De-
partment of Labor's Consumer Division It's latest
bulletin points out the waste and inefficienry that
surround home-building and the imperative need
that construction be brought into step with the ma
chine age.
1t predicts that when the technique for mass pro-
duction of houses in factories perfected then and
then only will mass rehousing begin.
Eight of the nine factors which make housing
so costly at present could be eliminated by factory
made houses, the bulletin suggests 1t lists them as
follows: Complicated craft organizations as applied
to both laborers and employers perpetuation of
archaic craft methods waste of material due to ex-
listing methods of fabrication at the SITE inappro-
pirate use of materials and appliances lack of skill
in planning both land and buildings, high cost of
materials and their distribution lack of reasonable
assurance in market forecasting and seasonal char
acter of employment.
Millions of dollars in profits await private industry
if it can find out how to supply good homes to
Americans at $4,000 and $4,000. But unless it acts
fast, government may have to take the lead for a
heavy proportion of the unemployed come from the
building industry and the unemployment problem
can't drag on forever unsoved

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

THE widow of Huey Long has been 'honored" by
an appointment to the United States Senate to
fill cut her husbands unexpired term. This is a
gesture which the women and the country at large
could very we'll dispense with
The Senate of the United States holds the fate
of our nation and perhaps of the world in its hands
1t should never be converted into drawing for
the display of courtly manners. To send there
for little while woman who is without expert
ence, and who claims no qualifications for states
manship merely because she happens to have been
married to a former member, is the kind of gallan-
try which should enrage the women of the nation
and the people of Louisiana.
So-called chivary, most of which is designed at
all times TO make women feel inferior by fulsome
hattery. can go to no greater lengths and work no
greater harm.
If Huey Long had the qualities of good Senator
and a power among men, then by all rules of
logic his wife would possess such characteristics
Two autocrats never live in the same house If they
did the roof would fall. And like Huey Long do
not remain married to women who exhibit any
particular aggressiveness determination. OBJ
vlousy then Mrs Long is not the type of person who
should be in the Senate. She is there to work the
will of political machine to feed the vanity of
certain types of who love to drink toasts to

back doors our chances for obtaining honorable
places for those members of the sex who capable
of serving their country are lessened.
These sops of political gravy are nauseous to dis
eliminating feminine palates Senators should re-
sent these surs upon their dignity and should
refuse such crumbs unless they wish to live them

TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year
is smaller salary than many fourth-rate cor
poratons pay TO each of a flock of window dressing
vice presidents.
In 1884 Mae West got 1896, 166 for her sex appeal
Mickey Cochrane 100000 for guiding the Detroit
Tigers, and Joe Penner $4,000 for being clown.
In that same year. 81 officers and employees of the
du Pont companies drew down an average of $43 900
each
Yet it regarded by some people as grotesque
when the United Mine Workers of America in con-
vention in Washington, voted to boost the salary
of their president John L. Lewis, from $4,000 to
900 year AS if being the head of union
of 100000 men, the largest and strongest union in
the country required any less ability as an execu
tive and organizer than is required to fill the shoes
of Charles M Schwab of Bethlehem Steel, who gets
S250,000, or George w Hill of the American Tobacco
Co, who gets S187126. No one who knows Mr.
Lewis ability doubts that had he dedicated his
life to making money instead of leading men, he
would be in the top income bracket.
We didn't think it was grotesque. Yet we be-
lieve Mr. Lewis gave further proof of his stature as
leader of men when he refused to accept the in
crease. So did Philip Murray and Thomas Kennedy
respectfully vice president and secretary treasurer
when they refused to accept increases from $4,000
to $4,000 which the miners had voted

Some 1890 banks received nearly one
and one-quarter billion dollars.
Nearly another billion was lent
to other banks to pay off deposi-
tors. Purchases of capital notes
preferred stock and bonds from 600
banks amounted to more than an
other billion dollars. Loans to rail-
roads were one-half billion, and to
mortgage loan companies nearly
quarter billion. Insurance companies
got nearly 80 millions.
Is this the sturdy giant upon
whom the American people have
placed their economic hope and
fate? Here was rugged individual
ism in the nth degree. Have Smith
Hoover, Talmadge and Landon
resurrected this ghost?
The sorry thing about the whole
situation is not the cry of those who
benefited from this injection Of
government credit into private bust
ness. 1t is that nothing has been
done to prevent recurrence of
the situation, and that no basic
reconstruction of our economic
structure has taken place to assure
abundance for consumers.
The whole program of government
credit to private business has aimed
at maintaining an economy OF
scarcity.
We have had producers money
profits as our our chief concern. We
should have striven for consumer
profits through increased production
and consumption. The whole policy
is absurdly unsound.

THOSE RED FLANNELS

A we had suspected, AL Smiths story that the
= New Dealers caught the Socialists il swimming
and stole their red 1annels isn't true at ALL
Socialisms Number One Man, Norman Thomas
not only publicly absolves Mr. Roosevelts Brain
Trusters" of larceny, but counters with much more
serious charge against them from his viewpoint
This is that they're trying to salvage the capitalist
system that he hates.
The Roosevelt emergency program, Mr.. Thomas
admits. might be good reformsm," but it's the
opposite of Socialism.
There is nothing Socialist about trying to regu-
late reform Wall Street." he says. Socialism
wants to abolish the system of which Wall Street
is an appropriate symbol.
There is nothing Socialist about trying to break
up great holding companies We Socialists would
prefer to acquire holding companies in order to
socslize the utilities now subject to them
There was no Socialism at all about taking over
all the banks which fell into Uncle Sans lap put
ting them on their feet again, and turning them
back to the bankers to they could bring them
once more to ruin.
There was no Socialism at all about putting in
co-ordinator to see if he could make the bankrupt
railroad systems profitable so they could be more
expensive for the government to acquire as sooner or
later, even Republican Party government under
capitalism, must"
AND so on down the list Mr. Thomas goes slash
ing. AAA subsidized scarcity TwA is a fair flower
to grow among weeds. Social security is inadequate
for essential security. All these attempts ito curb
rampant and arrogant capitalism are just so much
bread and crcuses to keep the people quiet as they
watch "a dying social order" die
If you like labels Mr.. Thomas has one too It's
State Capitalism toward which we're going And
he warns. this points more toward Berlin than to-
ward Moscow.
We think Mr.. Thomas is right in saying the only
way the Roosevelt Administration has carried out
the Socialist platform is "on a stretcher" We be-
leve he's wrong in warning that it is moving toward
Fascism.

What jackson Said
Lafayette Journal and Courier

Lafayette Journal and CourierI
The birthday of Andrew Jackson
was celebrated this year with a lot
of eclat. One notable jackson ban
quet was enjoyed at $50 per plate.
There were comparisons of modern
craftsmanship with the ruggedness
of jackson. This adds interest to
some quotations from "Old Hickory
himself. Jackson, for example, said:
Il shall keep steadily in view the
limitations as well as the extent of
the executive power, trusting there
by to discharge the functions of my
office without transcending it's au-
thority.
Advantage must result from the
observance of strict and faithful
economy. This I shall aim at the
more anxiously, both because it will
facilitate the extinguishment of the
national debt, and because it will
counteract that tendency to public
and private prof1igacy which a pro-
fuse expenditure of money by the
government is too apt to engender."
And again in President Jackson's
Farewell Address" these words:
Our Constitution is no longer q
doubtful experiment, and at the end
of nearly half century We find it
has preserved unimpaired the liber-
ties of the people and secured the
rights of property
There have always been those
amongst us who wish to enlarge the
powers of the general government.
Every attempt to exercise power be-
yond the constitutional limit should
be promptly and firmly opposed, for
one evil attempt will lead to other
measures still more mischievous.
congress has no right, under the
Constitution, to take money from
the people, unless it is required to
execute some of the specific powers
entrusted to the government.
You will find there is a constant
effort to induce the general govern
ment to so beyond the limits Of its
J taxing powers.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

A STRONOMERS today are not
IN only studying the stars, but
what is between the stars. This
recent interest in interstellar space
is well justified for calculations show
that the stars occupy only a tiny
fraction of space.
"a photograph of rich star field
or star cluster is very apt to give
the impression that space is about
as we'll filled with stars as the air
is with raindrops in an average
shower DR.. j. A. Anderson of the
Mount Wilson Observatory, says. "A
very little consideration shows that,
this impression is quite erroneous.
Calculations, DR.. Anderson says
reveal that there is 10 billion times

ciphers) more empty space than
stars within our own galaxy or
Milky Way.
"Raindrops one-eighth of an inch
in diameter would have to be on the
average four miles apart in order to
furnish a reasonable comparison,
he says.
Our own galaxy is just one OF
some millions of galaXies distributed
in space. The average distance be-
tween any Two external galaxies or
spiral nebulae as they are better
known, is about 10 million light
years. CA light year is six trillion
miles,
ONCE the stars within these
y spirals are distributed about as
far from each other as the stars
within our own galaxy, DR.. Ander--
son concluded that in the known
universe as a whole the amount OF
space is 10 million times a billion
times a billion chat is, l followed
by 25 ciphers greater than the
stars.
DR.. Anderson gives an illustra-
ton which serves to heighten the
meaning of this fact.
The number of stars in our galaxy
is approximately 100 billion. The
average external galaxy is smaller
than this and SO probably contains
fewer stars. But each galaxy prob
ably contains more than 10 billion
stars.
The total number of galaxies
within reach of the 100-inch tele-
scope is now believed to be about a.
billion.
