Reckless Driving OF Motor Vehi-
Cles Must Cease.

Mr.. Editor On Saturday evening last
a very serious, If not fatal, accident &C.
CURED on Connecticut Avenue, in front of
the Columbia Country Club, when two auto
mobiles c0ilided and both were demolished.
Had it not been for the prompt action of
Constable Aaron Trail, who extinguished
the blazing machines with a fire extin-
guisher, which he carried, the occupants
would probably have been burned to death
am writing your paper to ask that you
assist me in notifying the public that
reckless driving of motor vehicles must
cease. 1t is positively dangerous to ride
upon the Rockville pike on Sundays, due
to speeders, who will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law without fear or favor
For the past six or seven years this con-
dition has been growing, until it now has
become menace to public safety. A
month or 30 ago doubled the motorcycle
patrol on the Lincoln Highway. placed a
constable on Connecticut Avenue and APP
pointed motorcycle patrolman for Rock
vile district. where none existed before.
Sufficient justices of the peace have
been appointed to handle the cases. This
action is not to deter motorists from COM
ing into Maryland. for all will be treated
alike regardless of residence but law and
order will be maintained and life and limb
of pedestrians and careful drivers will be
protected and wild and reckless driving Of
any type of motor vehicle will not be
countenanced.

LOBSTBRS

In speaking of changed conditions in
the fishing on the Kennebec river, Game
Warden H. L. Spinney of Bath remarked
recently that he recalls when tho first
set of lobster traps was placed along the
near coast by Southport fisherman and
then it was possible to 60 down to pool
near the home of his maternal grand
father, Richard Mari, on Salter's Island
and gaff $50 good sized loDsters. They
were brought up the Kennebec and three
cents apiece was considered fair price.
The going price in the Bath market this
week is so cents a pound. Tho crust
aceans were boiled in those days lOO at q
time. The late Melvin Spinney OF Small
Point is said to have put the second set
of lobster traps at Small Point.-kenne-
bee Journal.
We remember seeing, more than sixty
years ago, a lobster which Capt. James
Miller caught at low tide, entanaled IN
sea weed under his wharf. We were
told by Capt. Miller that this lobster
weighed Is pounds. We remember toe
that the steamboat agent on duty at
that time on this wharf lad several lob
ster traps in favorable positions a,
tho sides of the wharf and we know hi
caught lobster, because one day when ne
was busy elsewhere we pulled up ont
trap and there were two Holsters in it

The United States Geological Survey
tells US that certain coal field in Mon
tana contains about five billion tons of
coal. This is good news for the people
who live in Montana, but is of little in
tereSt to the people of Maine. After the
cold barons of Montana, the railroads and
the wholesalers have taken the usual
rake off, Montana coal will cost our re-
tailers fifty dollars ton. The trail of
the profiteer is well marked from the un-
mined coal to the retailer and in some
instances even to the bins of the con-
sumers. Special committees have s'prob-
ed" associations of coal barons and
wholesalers have each held "consulta-
tons" and the Attorney General of the
United States has ''taken steps," The
alleged purpose of these self proclaimed
reformers has been to protect the con-
sumner to the extent of enabling him to
get his coal at fair price. The Con-
sumer believes that the price of coal has
been boosted without justification. He

During the first nine months of this
wear more than l22, O0O, 900 yards of
various cotton cloths produced in foreign
countries, were brought to the United
States. During the same months of last
year only %, OOO, 900 yards were imported.
In Belgium the highest wages paid to
spinners (men) is % cents an hour and
the highest wages paid to women is Is
cents an hour. The average wage paid
to cotton mill operatives is less than 20
cents an hour to adults and less than half
that sum to children. In the cotton mills
in Japan the labor cost is less than half
that of Belgium. Mr.. Gompers tells US that
the battle against reduction of wages in
this country will be fight to finish.
Mr.. Gompers is leading a forlorn hope.
For five years this country has been WON
derfuIly prosperous. In most of ouf in
dustries the advance in wages has kept
step with the advance in commodities till
the pace exceeded the highest hopes OF
the labor leaders of 1914 or even 1916.
The country can stand the pace no long
er. The prices of everything which labor
produces are recsding and neither Mr..
Gompers nor anybody else can prevent
lower price for labor.

TAXATION

Last month the public debt Of the
United States increased SLIP, 200, 900. 1t
now seems to be certain that the treasury
will face deficits until our tax laws have
been changed and the new laws have been
in effect for about year. On account of
the prevailing business conditions the re-
ceipts from the income tax will be largely
reduced at least for two or three years,
and the receipts from the excess profits
tax, which have been very large, will be
very small. Aside from the passage of
necessary appropriation bills it is prob
able that the present Congress will at
tempt to do little except to finish inves-
LEGATIONS and make reports on which the
Attorney General of the next administra-
ton may base such prosecutions as may
be warranted 1t is to be feared that the
League of Nations will come in for much
useless discussion, and it is to be hoped
that there will be much discussion con-
corning the taxation question which
should, and probably will be considered
to be, the most important problem pre-
scented for solution by the special session
which will be necessary soou after the
fourth of March. 1t seems to be gener-
ally admitted that some changes should
be made in the income tax law, owing
not altogether to imperfections in the law
when passed, but especially to the changed
business conditions now existing.
When it became necessary to raise large
sums of money to pay the stupendous ex-
penditures made for war purposes the ex-
cess profits tax clause was written into
our revenue laws. This enactment met
with general favor because it was be-
}ieved that it would take all ILL gotten
gains, wherever found, and thus put a
stop to protiteering.
The purpose of the law was excellent.
and INSCRIPTIONS individuals and corpora
tions robbed consumers and were robbed
IN turn by the excess profits law. The
people have had more than enough OF
this sort of indirect taxation. The excess
profits law must be differently admins.
tered or it must be erased from oul
statutes. We must have burdensom,
taxation in some form for long TIM
and, as far as humanity possible, the bur
den should be equitably allotted. A com
mittee of the Business Mans NaJiona
Association b,e 10 FIJI
extensive study to ascertain what changes
should be made in our revenue laws re-
lating to excess profits taxes, stamI
taxes, excise and all other forms O
special taxes. This committee has re.
ported in favor of sales tax to take tn,
place of all the above mentioned taxes
1t is estimated that tax of one per cen
from gross sales would yield three billion
dollars annually. 1t is confidently assert
ed that the sales tax will bear equitabl,
upon consumers and will be vastly NOR,
satisfactory to business men, professional
men, working men and to almost every
body else. The committee favors SOM
changes in the income tax clause of tn
revenue act, applicable to persons VIII,
have small incomes. The recommends
lions of the tax committee will be pre-
scented to Congress. A sales tax law is
proposition which directly affects boil
the buyer and the seller. 1t should b.
weighed and measured before it il
adopted.
