Your Chance of Being Killed
Grows as G1I71nerS Mock Law

every dealer TO report to police head
quarters within q hours the sale of
every revolver or pistol, giving the
purchasers name and address and
the make and serial number Of the
weapon.
Birmingham, Ala, goes no further
than to forbid the display Of dan
gerous weapons in store windows and
other prominent places.
Texas absolutely forbids sale of
revolvers and pistols by a state law.
But this law has been evaded in a
VIII 'esale manner by the subterfuge
of leasing weapons for 90 years.
In South Carolina is is unlawful
to sell without due authorization a
pistol or revolver less than 20 inches
long or weighing less than three
pounds, the authorities evidently be-
lieving it would be difficult to carry
concealed a weapon Of that size.
By far the most stringent Of all
laws against firearms is that in eff
feet in New York state. This pro-
vides that a pistol or revolver can
not be bought or even kept in a
home without police authorization.
This strict law, however, is easily
evaded by New York criminals, who
can buy all the weapons they want
cheaply by crossing to New Jersey.
Police Commissioner r. +. EH-
right of New York, says;
"The New York; state law should
be supplemented and supported by
federal statute regulating the manu-
facture, sale, importation and pos
session of firearms and other
weapons"

Copyright, 1920

One out Of every 1900 persons in
the United States will die at the
hands Of a murderer in 1923-if the
present murder rate is maintained.
Nost Of these murders viii be
committed with the aid o ia revolver
Or its more up-to-date kinsman, the
al.cmatic pistol.
For these are the handiest Of all
murder tools. They're easily con-
ccaled on the person Of the slayer.
Little skill Or courage is required in
their operation.
Can frequent murder in the Unit
ed States-often described as ''the
biggest blot on American civilization"
be checked if revolvers and pistols
are made difficult or impossible-to
secure?
What is being done to keep these
man-killers out of the hands Of po-
tential murders?
Or what should be done?
To answer these questions com,
prehensively the Times-Re order
through NEA Service has conducted
survey of the AS states in which
scores Of police chiefs have been in
terviewed and the gun-toting situa-
ton in every important American
city has been thoroughly analysed.
This spvey-the most sweeping
Of it's kind ever undertaken-shows:
That while the carrying of con
cealed deadly weapons without prop
err permit is almost universally for
hidden by state law or municipal or
dinance, there is wide variation in the
stirctness with which such regula-
tions are enforced.
That the sale Of deadly weapons

NEARLY DEBT FREE.

ATLANTA, Ga; March 17.-The
state highway department, after an
uphill struggle for the past year or
more is now completely organized
and practically out of debt, John N.
Holder, chairman Of the department
stated today.
"The department has had a long,
hard pull" Mr.. Holder said: But the
organization is now completed and
the men are on the job. We are
planning to construct more than 400
miles Of road during the coming
year.
"All of the equipment purchased
last year is paid for and almost all
of this years equipment has been
paid for"
Mr.. Holder said that several other
projects are being considered by the
department
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-03-17

is unrestricted over wide areas, with
only sporadic attempts here and there
to prevent purchase Of weapons by
potential killers.
That where regulations restricting
the sale of weapons do exist, they
are nullified by the ease with which
criminals can go to another state or
city to buy their weapons or purchase
them by mail and thus have them
delivered by an agency Of the Unit
ed States government itself!
That police chiefs are practically
unanimous in a demand that the sale
Of pistols be absolutely barred by
federal law except to persons who
have legitimate business with such
weapons.
The survey shows startling diff
/ ferences between states and between
municipalities regarding regulation
of the sale of weapons.
There is no restriction on the pur-
chase of pistols or revolvers in
Maine, Georgia, South Dakota, New
Hampshire, Arkansas, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Vermont,
Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico,
Wyoming, New Jersey, Idaho, Ne

volvers can be purchased by anyone

ia is planning an elaborate set of
state regulations to prevent sales tt

Elsewhere the sale of weapons is
more or less restricted by state or
city regulations-usually the latter.
The most usual regulation pro.
vides that every purchaser of a re-
voler or pistol must present to the
dealer a permit secured from the
chief Of police, sheriff or from a des-
ignated judge.
The dealer then is required to re-
port the sale within "a hours to po-
lice headquarters, giving the name
of the purchaser, his age, occupation
and address and the make and serial
number of the weapon. This date il
filed by the authorities.
In most cases the buyer before
securing a permit must convince
the authorities Of his good moral
character and Of his need Of q
weapon. In many states and cities
he must be identified BY at least
two freeholders.
Regulations Of this type a9a il

firearms. Such regulations are in

Most of the big advertisers started in a small way. Ven
turing cautiously into the water, they soon struck out for the
deep spots. They found that it pays to advertise.
The William Wrigley Companys first advertising appro-
nriation was $32-its entire capital-writes John Allen MUIR
nbv in Printers Ink magazine. The L. E. Waterman Com
panv's first ad bill was only $6250. Hupp Motor Corpora

Murphy tells the story Of Royal Baking powder. The
company started in a small drug store in Fl. Wayne, Ind,
as a side line. cts first advertisement appeared In local
papers. The campaign then gradually spread throughout the
state until the company was able to move to New York. Soon
after that, it became the largest national advertiser OF its day.
The Mennen Company started similarly-as a druggists side
line.

PRESIDENT HARDING MAKES THE ISSUE

President Harding is slowly, but surely building up a real
campaign issue for the election next year. By persistently ham
nering away at the world court and asserting his leadership, he
S going to put the Republicans in a position where they have
either got to repudiate the whole Harding administration by turn
ng down the President for a denomination, Or accept his policies
as the platform Of the party.
But beside the world court issue, Governor Smith, of New
York, is giving the President the opportunity of a lifetime to make
capital out of the prohibition issue. For the Republicans to come
out positively and unequiyoeably on the dry side of the prohi-
bition question, standing for the strict enforcement of the law up
holding the constitution, would be to give the party great prestige
throughout the country. 1t might mean the loss of New Jersey,
possibly New York, and a few other eastern states, but the Re
publicans could lose these and still win.
By accepting the challenge of Governor Smith and sending a
large member Of federal officers into New York state to clean up
that situation, making it hotter, perhaps, for the Iawless element
that it otherwise might have been, the President has an oppor.
tunty to win the applause of the country. It would be a serious
reflection on the great state of New York to have the federal
government do this.
President Harding has the opportunity to play a strong hand
There is no question about the people being behind him on the
international court issue, and he has a wonderful opportunity on
the question of prohibition. There is the 1daking of a real cam
saign if the President viii stick to his course

speculative builders, the exactions of
the dealers in various building ma
terials. h high profits demanded by
contractors, Or to the bandit tactics
OF organized labor, whoever makes
the charge is likely to discover he
has started something he can not
finish without a fight. Each of these
groups points an ~accusatory finger
at the others, but when they are all
assailed they make common cause
against their critics. From this the
general public may draw the con-
clusion that they are all to blame in
varying degrees. or that the situa-
ton ts one that just came about
without any specific cause.
Michael j. Colleran, President of
the Building Trades Council, points
out that no less than SO cents of
every dollar of construction cost
which the contractor pays to build
ing material manufacturers, while
only 81 cents go to labor.
1T was the profiteering price of
material, not high wages" he con-
tinues, which was the chief cause Of
~prohibitive cost building in 1919 and
1920. When material costs dropped
in 1921 and 1922, the building boom
Immediately began. Now that ma
terial costs are rising again, the cost
or building is being repidly increas-
ed and the continuance of the build
ing boom threatened. The profits
winch the contractor makes are al
Sc a large but generally unknown
factor in the price which the public
pays for construction"
On the other hand, an authority
Tor the Interests that labor criticizes
points out that the union wage rate
for the building trades touched n
peak of 101 per cent above 1913 in
1920, dropped to 81 per cent above
l9l3 in 1922 and thus far this year
has returned to the 1920 level or
above. Overtime pay and bonuses
pad by contractors constitute a large
nut unestimated superburdea, it is
claimed by this authority.
strangely enough to some people.
strikes for higher wages in the build
ing trades are being called or threat
ened just at the time when the build
Ing boom is said to be in a state of
collapse. This is readily explainable.
however, for despite all the talk of
a busted boom and the halting of
new construction there is still more
building actually under way than
ever before and the demand for la
Dor is as yet undiminished. Labor al
ways makes its demands for higher
wages and better working conditions
when there is more work than there
are men to do it. Hence the present
strikes, or threatened strikes.
II is undoubtedly true that no
small part of the trouble over exor-
bitant wages in the building trades
may be charged up to the contrac-
tors themselves. Instead of stand
ing together and abiding by the fixed
wage scales, when they have adj
Vantageous contracts in hand these
builders are quick to begin bidding
against each other for labor. And it
goes without saying that labor is not
blind to that TACT and is always
ready TO take advantage of it.
