Employed Married Couples To the Editor of The News: It is the sincere belief of many people that if the following plan would be put into actual effect, it would definitely and rapidly alleviate, in a great measure, our present unemployment situaticn and would prove to be a practical step toward the restoration of prosperity.

All employers should agree to discontinue employing married women, whose husbands are able-bodied men "and, as 'such, are capable of working, thereby earning a living for their families and themselves. At present many cases exist where the combined incomes of an employed couple average from $45 to $75 weekly. At the same time countless heads of families are walking the streets in their constant search for employment, but their efforts are in vain. Employers and employed married be honest and just by making way for the unemployed heads of families; also provide a fair opportunity for single girls and women who are unemployed and are compelled to lead miserable, and often, questionable lives and are forced to live in unsightly rooming houses mere hovels because married women have deprived them of their right to eaarn a decent living. This situation is not only an economic problem, but is likewise a moral one.

F. C. GABRIEL. Daylight Saving To the Editor of The News: We have had a respite from the nuisance of bothering with daylight saving for some time, but it seems that not for long are we to have that relief. The legislature must needs take up that issue again ana add one more burden to this already harassed world.

Senator Curtis White is to be congratulated upon his stand against this foolishness. Let us hope that the house of representatives will kill this bill without any discussion. Why disturb the many for the few? If golfers wish to play, why not arise at the necessary time and do so, without disturbing a natural law and causing havoc and confusion to the rest of the people? We play golf, too, but we do not wish to disrupt the universe in so doing. Some use the standard time and some the daylight savings; ,60, some stay up late, and same Up early, and betwixt the two, all law-abiding citizens and. those who wish to' retire at a reasonable hour find themselves unable to have any peace.

As a great many cilicer.s are nervous about the future, the proposal that the humming bird get seme attention Is net Lkcly to find much favor.

Indiana at THE 1SFLATIOS MOV EM EST The radical inflationists, who would flood the country with cheap money ar.d undermine the public credit, fail to give due "weight to the natural, controlled inflation brought about by the federal loin policy. The Hoover administration devised the plan cf mobilizing the nation's credit by forming the reconstruction finance corporation and by otherwise using the money of all the people to stimulate business in key and basic lines, notably agriculture. The Roosevelt administration has given every indication cf continuing the policy. It is aeil established and it la reasonable if kept within proper bounds and under firm control. kn 10 lo Iarm finaacir- crganJations, to tanks, to farra -operatives, to the city home adjustment scheme when a channel of application is opened, to self -liquidating public improvement projects, and the proposed export and similar loans, all constitute inflation of cr.e kind or another.

They are made poAMble by use cf the federal credit, and federal credit is under the control cf the administration. It is this control feature upen which the people mill have to rely for assurance that there wCl be no over-extension cf the credit. Attention has been invited to the helpful tendency cf the time element in the ahele process. It is agreed that the general price level will have to be lifted, and that stability can be won cnly when this is done. The wear and tear on articles in general use by the people is creating a demand a hich.

as soon as controlled Inflation engenders the necessary confidence, will be met by purchase. This point in the general experience will mark the turning of the tide. It is a wholesome and natural Inflation about which there nted be no anxiety. The uncertain factor is largely political. The country has so far had no trouble in aeUir.v its rn(M ar.d As.

The oversubscription has been misleading, for it reflects not the actual demand, but bidding in the hope that the bidders will get a fair share cf the. allotment. If eager-ncs to make a quick and impressive public allowing dvX-s not carry the in-cemmf administration too far in public borrowing, it may be abie to sustain a controlled inflation until a certain prospect of rising prices brings Sn the natural Inflation. The virtue in this plan as compared with debasing the currency is that it can be regulated to a degree by the peo ple as buyers cf government pledjej of indebtedness. A UEKtCA AEVII1 YES Corner-stone laying ceremonies, with President Hoover participating, have been conducted in Washington for a government building designed to preserve and make available for exhibition this nation's most treasured archives.

The experience cf other countries ha ben utilized, and it is believed the United States will have "the best national archives building in the world." Oeorge Washington originally acquired the building' site a part cf the tract for the national capital. The Archives will house the name and record cf every clutior.ary. Originals cf the Declaration cf Independence and of the Coiiititutirn. besides various Liter-state and ether governmental documents, will be guarded among national hii'crioal papers. Frtiident IIocer depicted the structure's significance: "Thus temple cf cur history will appropriately be one cf the most beautiful tuild- tr.gs in America, an eipre.ion cf the American soul.

New Jersey and other eastern states, where state constabularies have functioned satisfactorily. They will learn that these forces are organized along military lines, that they are recruited chiefly from the ranks cf former service men and that they are nonpcliticah The fact that the merit system has been established in connection with virtually all cf the successful state police departments explains their efficiency and high standards cf morale. The men who wear the uniform know that they were chosen by reason of passing certain test and they know a lo that they will retain their positions while they behave themselves and remain efficient in the enforcement of the law. Such regulations have been responsible for a degree of satisfactory public service that compares favorably with that cf the famous Canadian Ncrtha-estern Mounted Police the force from which the idea came for all the state constabularies in this country. Indiana, never will have a satisfactory state police department while the personnel is chosen on a basis of political patronage with chance that the entire administrative and field forces will be discharged as frequently as an administration changes.

There was no reason why the so-called state police in Indiana should have been a political machine under a Republican secretary pf state and no more reason why a Democratic official should use police appointments to build up an organization of his own. Only the establishment of a nonpartisan department can be regarded as a genuine effort to meet a real need. This will be a tough week-end for the legislators who feel that they must have some home excuse for supporting the tax on incomes and sales. The Lieutenant-Governor had the senate boost his pay more than $5,000 a year, showing that he ha confidence in the ability of the taxpayers to keep up with the procession. Japan is sending bombing planes ahead cf her troops, and the Chinese probably are trying to do business with a eteel hat maker.

Probably caused by the concerted sigh from the 590 deserving Democrat who failed to land a place In the cabinet. One Indiana city is considering holding no election this year, but allowing it officials to serve another term, a suggestion that will appeal to some candidates who thought they would run on their party economy record.

Reciprocal trade pacts between the nations are being suggested, and will negotiated when there is money in them. One county Judge ha already aiked a boost of $1,350 in the budget allowance for his court, an indication that the legislature's attitude toward economy pledges is not unique. Indiana day at the world fair Is to be July 13. giving the Independence day crators away. another chance right The selection of a Democratic city chairman Saturday will put a severe strain on the legislator who is trying to keep his finger in the home pie.

The tax base in Indiana is to be broad also thick. Our new dictator has compromised w-th hi principles. Senator Perkins. But when it came to his principals, senator, there was no compromise.

oppress and build up a corrupt political machine and fortify themselves by doing away with primary elections and choosing public officers through political organizations, as is done now in choosing state officers, the danger is imminent and almost certain. The impetuosity with which this significant legislation became a law is not characteristic of genuine statesman ship, and if it leads to a wholesale dismissal of faithful and efficient public officers to pay political debts or build an effective machine It will prove disastrous and result in oppres sion and public scandal. Numerous instances could be cited in which ap point ive officers, both judicial and ex ecutive, and also commissions, have betrayed the people and such acts have been supported or ignored with stolid tyrannical indifference by the appointive power, with no possible relief for the suffering public. The experiment should never be tried without sufficient safeguards, such as an easy and sure method of impeachment and trial in cases of treachery of public officers; or a reasonable system for recall. Without something of this kind to protect the public the system is bound some time to end In disaster, resulting in graft, extrava gance and maybe a loss of liberty.

The- primary object of all government is to protect the people and Insure justice, and not to strengthen political parties. The political party is simply a vehicle to accomplish this re sult, and when it does not function in that manner its usefulness is over. Brooklyn, Ind. R. M.

DEWEES. Scouts Overproduction Theory To the Editor of The News: In spite of the tragedy of the situa tion, it is amusing to read some of the methods of solution of the de pression. One writer advocated the government's floating another debt to obtain money to buy manufactured goods and food to be destroyed, assum ing that overproduction is our trouble. I would ask. Does every one in this country have too much food? Thousands of families of five or more are living on $3 worth of groceries a week, bought by the township at prices one-third higher than current cash prices.

Too many clothes and shoes? Thousands are in rags. Every day I see little children out in the cold, inadequately clothed. Too many automobiles? Many who have to have them in their business are getting along with Junkers that shouldn't be on the road. Too many: sanitary homes? There never has been enough of these, and now thousands have been ejected from auch as they had homes that they had already paid more on than they are worth today. There are workers, skilled and other-wise, that are now living in shacks constructed 'from material gathered from dumps, in barns, garages, or wherever they can find shelter, and are getting water from streams or wherever they can.

No, there is plenty of demand for all our products, at home and abroad. This is simply a man-made money famine, w-hich can be overcome by proper legislation and co-operation. It remains to be seen whether our legislators and rulers are wise enough to work out a solution to all this or will leave it to the masses to overcome by brute force. ANOTHER READER. Old Age Pensions To the Editor of The News: I was greatly amused at Eligible conception of our modern poor house with its modern equipment.

I never saw one inside but once, and defend me from ever going to one or seeing another. There were only three there conscious of their condition, one of them a blind school teacher. This was before the teachers' pension was granted. Perhaps Eligible will say that was before they were modernized. Just a short time ago a lady whom I had met.

I say, give thanks for this one Etep toward moving the aged from this living hell. A man in a county infirmary thought no one could be cared for at the price provided.

Danville Please reprint the words of the old cowboy song called "Bury Me Out on the Prairie." They are as follows; BURY MS OUT ON THE PRAIRIX Weil. I've got no use lor the women, A true one may never be found. They'll use a. man for his money; When it's gone they'll turn him down. They're all alike at the bottom.

Selfish and grasping for all. They'll stay by a man while he's winnln' And lausl in his face at his fall. My pal im a straight young puncher. Honest and upright and square. But he turned to a gunman and gambler.

And a woman sent him there. -Quicker and surer bis gun play, Till his heart in his body lay dead. When a vaquero Insulted her picture He filled him full of lead. All Eight long they trailed him. Through mesquite and chaparal.

And I couldn't but think of the woman As I saw him pitch and fall. If she'd been the pal that she should have, He might have been raisin' a eon Instead of out thera on the prairie To fall by the rangers gun. Death's alow sting did not trouble. His chances for life were too slim. But where they were putting his body Waa all that worried him.

He lifted his head on his elbow. The blood from his wound flowed red; He looked at his pals grouped about him. And whispered to them and said: "Oh, bury me out on the prairie. Where the coyotes my howl o'er my grave. Bury me out on the prairie.

And some of my bones please save. Wrap me up in my blankets And bury me deep beneath the ground; Cover me over with boulders Of granite huge and round." So they buried him out on the prairie, And the coyotes still bowl er fcis grave. But his soul is now a'restin From the unkind cut she gave. And many a similar puncher, As te rides by that pile of stones. Keeails some similar woman, And envies his moldering bones.
