DISCUSSES MEANS OF REDUCING FIRE

Tho annual fire waste totals,
which have passed the five hundred

sixteen thousand fatalities and over
seventeen thousand injuries, would
seem to warrant the adoption OF
heroic measures to bring about a re-
duction of this criminal destruction
of life and property, seyenty-iiye per-
cent Of which Is acknowledged to be
due to ~carelessness.

chants to assist him doing our part
toward reducing this enormous fire

He requests that the merchant ar

from the store building or burned
daily during the holiday season; that
the use of candles for decorative
purposes and the installation of tenn

gard manner be absolutely prohib-
tied. Large mo Smoking" signs
should be displayed throughout the

: The hazard in connection with the

practically eliminated by the use OF

have found Washington a very
interesting place. and all that the old
geography said about It seems to be
true.
The Capitol at present is q busy
place as Congress has just entered
into Its fourth session. which I un-
derstand is the first fourth session
In the history Of Congress. Appro-
priations will be the main bit of leg
islation considered during this ses-
sion. and you will know that this
causes Senator Warren to be mighty
busy as he is chairman OF the Senate
Appropriations Committee. It IL
amazing to me the amount OF ardu-
Gus work he Is doing. and one does
not have to be here long to know
that he Is one OF the biggest mon in
Washington.
The chief thing to occupy the at
tention of the National Capitol yes
terday was President Harding's ad-
dress to Congress. He took complete
recognition In this message Of the
major problems which made the cleo
torate 30 restless this year and
brought such a confused result In the
elections Just a month ago. The
President had something to say on
nearly every subject which might
have anything to do with the ballot
Ing or which might affect the course
Of affeirs in the next national cleo
ton in 1924. Much Of what Mr..
Harding has recommended does not
come as . surprise, but until the
President speaks. until the leader of
the party in power puts his words
formally ON record. there II never
the same weight given or the same
attention paid to tho recommenda-
tions.

MIGRATORY BIRD
Law IS OPPOSED
FURTHER ENCRGACHMENTS UPON The
RIGHTS OF STATES TO REGULATE
GAME ARE RESISTED

Defending the rights of the state
and the individual against federal
encroachment, Congressman Frank
w. Mondell again has put the
q~uietus on a bill requiring all who
would hunt migratory birds to take
out a federal license.
Under the terms OF the pill. as re-
Gently passed by tins senate. tina
home OF the bird" would be more
sacred than the home Of the ips,e
yidual, for the senate bill makes II q
misdemeanor puhishahle by q fine Of
$500 and imprisonment for six
months to invade the former with
out payment Of the license fee OF 81,
while ANY authorized agent of the
department of agriculture shall
have authority, with n search war
rant. to search any place.
1t is further provided that any
United States Judge or commission
er, upon proper oath or affirmation
showing probable cause. may issue
! warrants in all such cases"
The measure, previously dis
cussed in these columns, Is sponsored
by certain persons who want federal
control over all hunting, nd who
seek ample funds through a license
system for the purchase and main
tenance of federal game preserves.
Opposing the measure on a previous
occasion. Mr.. Mondell pointed out
that such a law would subject citi-
zens of a state to a prospect Of be-
ing hailed to federal court II they
robbed a birds nest or shot a wild
duck without first securing the stipu-
lated license; that the shooting of a
blackbird by a boy might result in
the lad being taken for trial to a
court hundreds of miles from his
home.
Mr.. Mondell not only objects to
this method of depriving the states
of their revenues, but is emphatical-
ly opposed to further extension of
federal authority and jurisdiction in
a matter of this kind. As floor lead
er. he is largely responsible for the
sequence in which legislation in the
house is considered. and, though
much opposed to the bill in question.
agreed upon the insistence of men,
bers interested that it should be
brought up in the house. He gave
nc..ce, however, that he would use
every effort 10 defeat 1t.
In view of this opposition friends
of the measure decided at the last
moment to defer insistence on i'm
mediate consideration OF the bill.

dissatisfaction with Americas imper-
feet system OF financing the farmer
He recommended enlargement of the
powers of the Farm Loan Bureau,
together with the permanent estab-
lishment OF a system that will do at
all times what the War Finance Cor
poration does In an emergency.
Following that he naturally spoke
on freight rates, which have beer q
bugaboo to all classes of shippers,
and with this the President links the
poor transportation Of the country.
He advises the more liberal use OF
the motor truck. better highways,
and a coordination OF motor facil-
tiles to move crops.
Coming to the labor situation as II
pertains to the railroads. he recon-
mended the abolition of the United
States Railroad Labor Board. or
rather It's complete revision. This
recommendation is certain to be
popular with tho great majority OF
railroad labor. He recommends
making n new subdivision OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission "a
concentrate on labor disputes. This
may work out all right. but II seems
to me That labor is Just as much op-
posed to any tribunal which enforces
Its DEGREES. whether It Is called Z
labor board or n subdivision OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
or anything else. The present Inter
state Commerce Act has enforceable
provisions already. Labor has al
ways insisted on the unrestricted
right to quit work in a body II II %
chooses. The President. however,
softens the effects Of this enforce.
ment by limiting the disputes to bt
considered by this subdivision e
those which are likely TO affect the
public welfare. Definition OF thfi
phrase will probably provoke consid.
cradle debate and controversy.
Among other subjects which the
President touched upon was that Of
, 1922-12-21

prohibition. This portion of his
message contained a few surprises.
as it had been reported that the
President was weakening on the
Volstead law. II had been said that
he noted a shift OF sentiment in the
last elections. He CONS out now in
his message as favoring a rigorous
enforcement of the Volstead Act. He
frankly says the provisions of the
law are not in his opinion, contrary
to public desires. He predicts that a
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
Is not likely. and asks or literal en-
forcement. He also announces that
II is his intention to call the govern
ors OF all the states into conference
In the near future to condider ways
and NEAR OF enforcing the prohibit
ton laws to the Increased use of
state machinery. The message seems
to me to be a complete victory for
the 'drys." There is not n hint of
wetness In 1t.
I believe the Presidents message
might be classed as very compre-
hensive and constructive. and / hope
that Congress will see tit to act on
many of the recommendations.
NJ. ~Clemenceau. the ex-Premfer OF

AL SHOULD OBSERVE
RULES OF THE ROAD

If every automobile driver will
adhere strictly to the code OF giving
the car OH the right the right OF way
many OF the fatal automobile acct
dents that shock the readers of the
daily papers every day can be avoid
ed This is the opinion OF D. H.
Lewis, acting executive chairman Of
the American Automobile Association.
with which the Nevada Highway AS
ISOLATION is affiliated. Mr.. Lewis has
been studying driving regulations for
many years.
No automobile driver should be
compelled to watch both sides Of the
street. The rules of the road, both
in the city and in the open country,
is that the driver OH the right side has
the right of way, and there should be
severe punishment for any person who
violates that rule.
"The increasing number of auto
mobiles that congest traffic in the
cities brings more and more to the
front the question of right Of way.
Most cities provide in their ordi-
nances that the A. A. A. system OF
giving the road to the man on the
right, except on through bouevards,
shall be effective, but unfortunately
it is not always observed There is
always the fellow who is willing to
take a chance in order to display his
driving skill, or to Show off before a
fair companion, and this type Of
driver should be the target for every
policeman's attention.
Automobile driving should be
pleasure. There is seldom an occa-
sion where extreme haste is neces-
airy, and the motorist loses mighty
few seconds in observing the right OF
the man on the right. After you
reach the hospital or morguc, it does
not matter much who had the right
of way

read to great advantage by many who
