Washington's Traffic Needs.

Washington's traffic police have q
hard problem to solve. They must
seek to curb the recklessness of mo-
torists and to make all drivers obey
the rules. To do this they must arrest
all who are guilty Of regulation in
fractions, regardless Of the gravity Of
% the offenses. This Is the educa-
tona1 process. The result is that the
number Of arrests increases beyond
the capacity Of the Traffic Court to
handle them.
II the traffic police detail were larger
both minor and major offenses against
the rules could be checked. But the

would still be choked with complaints.
1t would seem from the number Of
daily traffic arrests that soon every
Washington motorist will have been
directly admonished as to the rules,
unless there are numerous repeating
offenders. Surely the rules are known.
But the question arises whether the
penalties for slight infractions arc SUI.

NEVER SUCCESSFULLY

ceeded upon the theory that monop-
oily was a public enemy, and that a.
monopoly ought to be treated as a
criminal. That has never been sue
cessfully carried out as a matter of
fact.-Senator Owen (Okla.), demo.

WHAT THE FARMER GETS
AND DOES NOT GET.
The joint commission of Congress
found that the farmer gets only 81
cents out Of the dollar that the labor

which the farmer pays for tho prod

speeds that cars are not always in
control. Speeding is at the root Of
the evil. and speeding Is relative
term. On a clear, straight street, with
little pedestrian trafflc, a speed Of
twenty-five or thirty miles an hour
may be safe. At a street intersection
u speed of ten miles may be excessive.
The habit of haste is the cause Of
most accidents, the desire to "get
there in the shortest possible time.
The net difference in time on the
average city run between a perfectly
safe speed and a dangerous pace is
at most only four or five minutes. OF
what value is such a Saving" of
time? Especially with regard for the
safety of others?
What with necessary stops in cross
ing streets and in overtaking street
cars and in getting out of traffic jams,
motors are constantly being checked.
A disposition prevails to make up for
this lost time and it is in these bursts
of speed that most of the mishaps
occur. If every motorist so planned
that he would have from five to ten
minutes longer on each run through
the city Washingtons traffic casual
ties and collisions doing damage to
property would be reduced materially.
To enforce this truth more traffic
police are needed. And to care for
the cases that they make larger
Traffic Court is required. With both
of these assured the city will be rem
dered comparatively safe for all, afoot
or awheel, provided the infractions Of
rule are punished by the imposition
or surely corrective penalties.

Red tape! How often have you
heard those words? Wouldn't you
like to have a dollar for every time
that sound has smote your inner ear?
If a business man addresses an in
quiry to the Government of the
United States, Washington. D. c.
and doesn't get reply by return
mail (scores Of such letters come to
Washington from big firms that
should know better). then the delay
is due to red tape"
If contractor doesn't get his check
on the dot-nine times out of ten
because he doesn't fulfill necessary
reauirements-thats more red tape"
If an inquirer runs afoul of some
regulation similar to that which any
ordinary business firm would impose.
then-"rep tape"
There isn't any such thing in the
government service as that unworthy
term implies. The government of the
United States is the biggest and most
complex organization in the world.

A Plain Talk to CONGRESS.

President Harding's address to Con.
gress yesterday was as notable for his
plain speaking as it was for the logic
and force of his arguments. When he
told senators and representatives that
there remained of the present session
both the debt t-funding and ship-aid
measures he spoke by the cards, his
long service in the Senate qualifying
MIN to pass judgment on the posi-
hilities. Had such admonition come
from one who had not himself had
legislative experience some lawmakers
might have regarded it as presump-
ton, but no such resentment can be
felt when one insider talks to others.
The Presidents argument. supple
menting the report of the debt-fund-
ing commission, has made the case for
ratification of the British agreement
80 plain that no opposing contention
can make any progress in public
opinion. The President places adjust
ment of the British debt on a plane to
appeal to the very best of American
thought. He shows that it is a bust
ness matter which has been handled
entire lack of sordidness in it's han.
ding. Full credit is given to the high
purpose of the British government to
maintain the sanctity of contracts
thara 10 int tn .
the present difficulties of that govern
ment and the heavy burdens which
the British people are forced to bear.
The impracticability of funding ON the
lines laid down by Congress having
been made manifest and it being
shown that the interests of this coun-
try are fully safeguarded- in the agree.
ment as negotiated. ratification by
Congress is so manifestly right and
proper that it becomes merely a mat
ter of correct drafting OF the legisla-
tion and the bringing of it to vote
in the two houses. That there will be
debate is to be expected. but it ought
not to be either prolonged or obstruc.
tive In its nature.
1t would be gratifying to record that
prospects for passage of the ship-aid
bill were equally bright, but such,
unfortunately, is not the case. The
President does not present any new
arguments for the enactment Of this
measure. but ne restates those already
made with force and directness. What
he did accomplish yesterday was to
deprive opponents of the bill Of the
contention that there is not sufficient
time between now and March to
write the administrations program
into law. If it is not permitted that
the bill shall come to a vote in the
Senate the country will know that it
was because of willful obstruction and
not because time prevented.
The President has made his case
with regard to the merchant marine,
and has made it SO convincingly that
he has won to his support commercial
organizations of all kinds, those direct
ly and those only remotely interested
in shipping. and If present disastrous
and discreditable conditions are per-
mitted to continue, the responsibility
will lie with Congress, not with the
executive branch of the government

ped. 1t was check for a million
dollars. He murmured something and
went back to New York that night
He doesn't believe in red tape any
more.
A mammoth manufacturing con-
Germ was taken over during the war.
1t had the usual penchant for forms
to be filled out by every one from
the office cat to the general manager
Whats this?" demanded the gov
ernment agent, holding up a blank
form to the general managers gaze.
THAT is our requisition for sup
plies" the manager answered. when
any OF our foremen need anything
they fill out that form"
Il see It has to be signed by twelve
persons before the supplies are is
sued" the agent said sarcasticaIly.
That's right" the manager agreed.
1--WE keep pretty close check on
things around here"
The agent got hot. He read that
general manager the sweetest little
lecture of recent years.
That form goes into the waste
basket from now on" he ended "If
way, we'd lose the war"
That general manager has changed
his ideas about red tape.
A hot sport at dollar a year
came out OF the west to save Amer
lea. He got a job in washington-a
prince of commerce helping the gov
ernment with his talent and brains
By and by he took a trip on Of
| fetal business. He visited three or
| four cities and at the end Of a week
came back. Into the dsbursing of
| hcer's cubby hole went the expense
| account.
Expenses of trip to New York
Boston. Buffalo. Chicago, $4O0," the
| expense account read. No itemixing;
no details; no nothing, except s40o.
That was the wsy-maybe-he ran
| things back home.
The disbursing officer was in doubt
about paying it. He took 1t up with
Judge W. w. Warwick, then con-
troller of the Treasury. The con
troller sent 1t back with q decision
as to why 1T couldn't be paid And
the disbursing officer sent 1t back to
| the dollar-a-year man.
After the armistice the doIlar-a-
year man. back home again, sent the
expense account on to Judge War
wick. He also sent a letter with it g.,
explaining that his services to the
government had been worth at least
$4,000 a year. He wanted Judge
Warwick to indorse across the face
Of the account why 1t wasn't paid so
that he might have 1t as a souvenir
and show in later years-to his chill
dren how small the government
could be.
Judge Warwick returned it to him
with q copy Of the decision given the
disbursing officer stating reasons why
It could not be paid and with the fur
ther statement that If any person
served the government in wartime
for patriotic reasons and because he
could afford it, for a dollar a year. it
did not matter whether ne valued his
services at $50.090 year or more
such would not justify him in taking
money out Of the Treasury contrary
to law. -
And the believer in red tape can
keep that to show to his children.

1.-THE daisies cannot always grow
While sweet the robin sings.
I'd like to loiter all the year
Through hours of summer ease,
Where perfumed breezes wandered
near
To whisper through the trees.
But we were made to live and learn,
To toll az we'll as dream.
Experiences come in turn
In life's mysterious scheme.
Sometimes the sky with genial glow
A joyous radiance filings;
And sometimes we must shovel
