AAA DECISION

I know you will not be surprised
by lack of comment on my part to-
night on the decision by the Su-
preme Court two days ago. can
not render offhand Judgment with
out studying, with the utmost care,
two of the most momentouS opin-
ions ever rendered in case before
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The ultimate results of the
language of these opinions will pro-
foundry affect the lives of Amer
leans for years to come. 1t is enough
to say that the attainment of justice
and prosperity for American agri-
culture remains an immediate and
constant objective of my admins
tration.
Just as Jackson reused the peo-
pie to their fundamental duties as
citizens, so must the leadership OF
this era do its utmost to encourage
and sustain widespread interest in
public affairs. There was something
of the eternal youth in the spirit
of Jackson. The destiny of youth
became the destiny of America.

Tasks Immediately before us are
as arduous as the conquest of the
frontier hundred years ago. The
nation is still young. still growing,
still conscious of its high destiny.
Enthusiasm and the intelligence of
the youth of the land are necessary
to the fulfillment of that destiny.
AS I understand the temper of
the people, particularly the temper
of youth, no party of reaction, no
candidates of reaction can fulfill
the hope and faith of that spirit. 1t
is the sacred duty of us who are
vested with the responsibility of
leadership to justify the expecta-

SYMBOL OF IDEALS

To most of us Andrew Jackson
appropriately has become the SYM
Dol Of certain great ideals. l like
best TO think of him as a man
whom the average American deeply
and fundamentally understood. To
the masses of his countrymen his
purposes and his character were an
open book. They loved him we'll be-
cause they understood him well-his
passion for justice, his champion
ship Of the cause of the exploited
and the down-trodden, his ardent
and flaming patriotism.
jackson sought social justice and
fought for human rights in his
many battles to protect the people
against autocratic or oligarchic ag-
erosion.
If at times his passionate devo-
ton to this cause of the average
citizen lent an amazing zeal to his
thoughts, his speech and his actions,
the people loved him for it the
more. They realized the intensity
of the attacks by his enemies, by
those who, thrust from power and
position, pursued him with relent-
less hatred.
The benef1ciaries of the abuses to
which he put an end pursued him
with all the violence that political
passions can generate. But the peo-
pie of his day were not deceived.
They loved him for the enemies he
had made.
Backed not only by his party, but
by thousands who had belonged to
other parties or belonged to no
party at all, Andrew Jackson was
compelled to fight every inch for
the ideals and policies of the demo-
cratic republic IN which he believed,
An overwhelming proportion of the
material power of the country was
arrayed against him. The great
media for the dissemination of in
formation and the moulding of pub
lie opinion fought him. Naughty
and sterile intellectualism opposed
him. Musty reaction disapproved
him. Hollow and outworn tradi-
tionalism shook trembling finger
at him. It seemed that sometimes
all we're against hin--all but the
people of the United States.

tees for the purpose of obtaining
the facts and of spreading them
abroad among their friends, their
associates and their fellow-workers.
I am aware that some wise-crack-
ing columnist vii. probably say that
good old Jackson no doubt realized
that every red-blooded American
citizen considered himself a COM
mittee of one anyway. Nevertheless,
Jackson got his ideas and his ideals
across, not through any luxurious
propaganda, but because the man
on the street and the man on the
farm believed in his ideas, his ideals
and his honesty, went out and dua,
up the facts and spread them abroad
throughout the land.

dinly conscious of the fart tnat this

Mr.. Taxpayer received his income
tax return blanks last Thursday
and, by today, his head was whirl-
ing with income, deductions, compu-
tations and schedules.
Calmly and compassionately, dep
uty collectors soothed Mr.. Tax
payer and aided him in filling out
the blanks, forms 1040 and 1040A
and their duplicates.
Deputies Aid Citizens
For those persons in and near In
dianapolis, Will H. Smith, Federal
internal revenue collector, has sta
toned deputy collectors in Room
315 to solve the intricate problems
of tax filing,
The first group of completed
blanks are being sent to Mr.,
Smiths office this week. The time

There is the man who sent spe-
cial delivery letter to Mr.. Smith
asking that new blanks be sent him
by return mail.

but cur dog ate up the old blanks, -
he wrote alphabetically.
Those Who Must File
The government says of those who
must pay taxes:
AN income tax must be filed by
every citizen of the United States
whether residing at home or abroad
an devery person residing in the
United States, though not a citizen
thereof, having gross income for
the calendar year 1885 of $4,000 or
over, or a net income for the same
period of (a) $1,000 or over, if single,
or if married and not living with
husband or wife, or {b) $500 or
over, if married and living with hus-
band or wife, or Co more than the
personal exemption if the status of
the taxpayer changes during the
taxable year.
IF the combined net income of
husband and wife, including that of
dependent minor children, if any, is
$500 or over, or if their combined
gross income is $4,000 or over, either
each must make a return, or the
income of each must be included in
a single joint return"
File Early" Smith Pleads
Mr.. Smith has written all large
employers in Indiana asking them
to urge their employees to file their
tax blanks early
Deputy collection officers are sit
uated in Evansville, Terre Haute,
New Albany, Lawrenceburg, Lafay-
cite, Muncie, Anderson, Hammond,
Gary and South Bend.
There seems to be some confusion
in the public mind between the Fed
eral income tax and the state gross
income tax, according to Ross Barr,
one of Mr.. Smiths assistants.

The other interesting fact about

that they appreciate and are CRATE

they seek only an equal opportunity

taxpayers prefer to figure out both

HISTORY REPEATS

Because history so often repeats
itself, let me analyze further. An
drew Jackson stands out as a great
American, not merely because he
was two-fisted and fought for the
peoples rights but because, through
his career, he did as much as any
man in our history to increase, on
the part of the voters, knowledge of

ton. Sometimes at the close of a
day I say to myself that the last
national election must have been
held a dozen years ago-so much
water has run under the bridge, so
many great events in our history
have occurred since then. And yet
81 months, less than three years,
have gone by since March, 1888.

The night was now too dark and
rainy to distinguish signals on shore
and the captain abandoned all hope of
succor from the outside. He decided
as last resort to try to save his
wife by means of ladder. Aided by
the faithful Baptiste. he got the
ladder overheard and made final
preparations. When he informed his
wife of his plans she pathetically
remarked: Don't you think 1t better
that we die here together?" But the
captain endeavored to reassure her
and persuaded her to make the at

board. One of these he placed on
his wife and securely fastened it,
the other he put on himself and
when he had lashed his child to his
breast he went over the side. \

told in subdued and faltering tones
Of his final effort to save his loved
ones:
II said good-by to my wife; told
her to keep her mouth closed tight
and that we would get ashore all right.
I lowered myself over the side by
