Representative Crowe of Bedford wabbled during the debate and then voted in opposition.

Representative Larrabee of New Palestine demonstrated his unfa-miliarity with international conditions in asserting that he "resented" being asked to cast his first vote for a measure "designed to aid Germany and foreign As Representative Ludlow of Indianapolis explained in a brief speech, the interests of America demand that Germany be saved from chaos and rebellion. "It is not a party question," he asserted, "but a humanitarian movement with world-wide bearing. We should lift ourselves above the miasma of politics and try to discern with a clear vision the world factors involved." It will be recalled that President Hoover did not establish the moratorium without previously consulting members of Congress. He held what was almost equivalent to a special session by wiring the membership and obtaining a sufficient number of pledges to assure favorable action when the regular session came. Most representatives were thus merely ratifying their own pledges to the President It is unfortunate that the seven Indiana Democrats were so completely out of step, even with their own party.

ALLOCATING THE MONON.

To the Editor of The Star: All our real progress or promotion in life is the result or virtue of tha so-called handicap and experiences which we are able to master and overcome. Life and contention go hand in hand and the obstacles which beset us at every footstep are possibly a divine means of propelling and making for progress. So the most potent factor and greatest blessing we can possibly enjoy comes from the silent conquest of ourselves. Not to drift too far from tradition and the conventional, may I extend my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. GAIL H.

There is a tremendous demand.

Fitting prices to it is the problem. What we need now is not a dominance of trade which will drain the world of the rest of its gold, but simply a revival and continuance of the process of fair exchange. We must not think of money wages but of real wages as transmitted into buying power and living standards. There can be no prosperity without increase in real wages. But we can get such an increase just as effectively by lowering prices as by increasing dollar wages.

Must the price of wheat go up? Would not all of us be better off if we learned to grow it with adequate profit at less per bushel? It can be done. Many farmers are forsaking the old methods and employing the larger scale of tractor methods and one Kansas farmer went so far aa to say that he could produce wheat at a profit of 10 cents a bushel. Manufacturing is already ahead of agriculture in this respect Not necessarily more but certainly cheaper production is the path to business recovery.

To the Editor of The Btar: If Congress keeps on playing politics as its has started, everyone ought to be impeached for betrayal of trust. If they had passed the moratorium the first day they met there would be a different feeling the world over. It there ever was a time that congressmen should act with sound judgment and reason it is now. If they do not. it is going to be too bad of this United States of America, And on top of that, have we anyone in Congress who is enough of an American to say to all public officials, let's reduce our salaries 25 per cent? Why not be an American when the taxpayers are bled white to pay war time salaries.

STANDS UP FOB TRUSTEES. To the Editor of The Star: I have been a reader of your paper for a long time. I have admired your editorial policy on many occasions, but in fairness to your thousands of readers, whose opinions on various matters are influenced by your editorial utterances, please investigate the true conditions surrounding the office of township trustee before making further deadly comment against the office. I would naturally believe that a newspaper as large as yours would want to know the truth on any subject before making editorial comment, but from editorials appearing in your paper from time to time I am convinced that you have made no effort to learn the truth, but have formed your opinion solely from information given you by those opposed to the township form of government. I am a township trustee and am just about to finish my first year as such.

Had I not had this one year's experience as township trustee I might have read your editorials and said "Amen." as no doubt thousands the weak companies and to put the whole transpor And every one of them accepted the decision of the Democratic cau Senator J. Rand Beckett of Marion and Johnson counties has offered the first and only tangible solution of the overagitated Ux problem as a basis on which a discussion of the subject can be predicated. His suggestions are worthy of intelligent consideration. The senator may or may not be correct in all of his suggestions. However, they should be threshed out by competent and experienced men and then presented to the public for criticism or endorsement.

The state tax commission, appointed by Governor Leslie more than a year ago, made an effort before the meeting of the last session of the Legislature to frame a workable tax relief law but its bill was so emasculated and amended during the session, that the purposes of the original draft lost its identity and no relief was accomplished at all. In expressing themselves on the propriety of calling an extra session of the Legislature, so many members were noncommittal, while others were in favor of an extra session, with a proviso attached to it, meaning may be or may be not, tying a string to it that might be pulled in any direction. It would be nonsense to call an extra session of the Legislature to untangle this chaotic frame of mind among se many of our legislators. Then, too, there would be no need of a forty-day session to transact business that should be completed in three or four days on the subject for which the extra session is called. It is also feared that an advantage of an extra session would be taken to load down legislation with tation business of the competing organizations in that territory on a sound business basis.

The fulfillment of the program for the better gotiations and the meeting of Southern officials last Friday resolved itself into a joint gathering representing all three sections of the country and empowered to name committees to treat with the unions. The executives of Class 1 railroads agreed on a dual program.

They voted to "negotiate to a conclusion" the wage and unemployment problems but would invoke the railway labor act and serve formal notice to effect a 15 per cent reduction in wages of all classes. It is understood, however, that a 10 per cent cut will be satisfactory if accepted voluntarily by the employes. The brotherhoods, it is believed, recognize tha necessity of co-operating at this time to save the roads in an economic crisis. They previously had rejected the 10 per cent proposal, although their action was based chiefly on the alleged failure of the roads to give assurance of permanent employment With that factor ironed out ia the discussion, an early agreement should be reached of mutual benefit to the railways, the employes and the country. The emergency which confronts the railways de mands prompt action and the process of wage reduction prescribed by the railway labor act is slow and cumbersome.

The unions are disposed to recognize this condition and to approve a voluntary settlement. They would thus occupy a better strategic position to negotiate for the restoration of higher wages when the country's business returns to normal. The effect oJ a prompt adjustment will be decidedly wholesome to the country as a whole and to the cause of industrial peace. as close as that one was bound to be, there is natural temptation for a ment of the condition of the east-and-west lines does not call for the sacrifice of all for which the Monon of civilisation, yet now, beneath our western skies, freedom's altar stands as firm and float as free her stars and stripes as when protected by tha loftv nride of Bunker hill. stands in the transportation setup.

That road extends the length of Indiana, from Chicago to Louis lew men to noid out and attempt to dictate terms. And there had been threats made by a few members that unless this, that or the other thing was done they would refuse to vote for their party's candidate for speaker. Seventy-eight years ago "the crossroads of America" enjoyed many fanciful names long since forgotten. Railroads were multiplying and Indianapolis bade fair to become the center of a network dreamed of by Governor Ray, who was laughed at for such a fancy, so one of its names was the "Railroad City;" another. "The Hoosier City;" also "The City of Churches and Sabbath Schools," and "The Embowered City." In June, 1853, an Indianapolis citizen, who signed himself M.
