A Little Pull
Helps a Lot!
(EDITORIAL)

The Star charged yesterday
a. That the enforcement of traffic laws in
Seattle has become joke, and,
(2) That the traffic division is demoralized.
When it said demoralized, The Star meant that
the divisions system of handling cases has been
shot to the bow-wows, and the morale of the men
in the division reduced to next-to-nothing
The traffic division created three years ago
under general order of Mayor Caldwell outlining its
duties Lieutenant Carr was placed in command.
The idea back Of the move was to centraze the
thorty and responsibility for the enforcement Of all
speeding. safety and parking measures. Previously
dozen department heads had handled such duties.
Chief Warren resigned about the time the order
published. Chief Soaring carried it out cheerfuy and
efficiently. Then Mayor Brown and Chief Severyns
into office.
Under the Caldwell general order still in force all
tags pass thru the hands of the divisions
head, Lieutenant Carr. During the Soaring regime
this done. Offenders big and little, frsttme and
repeaters. serious and trivial, handled. Their
went to the police Judge and there disposed
of, in accordance with the ordinances.
Soon after the Brown-Severyns regime began, auto
mobile offenders who happened to be friends of Ser
geant Frank Fuqua Lieutenant Carrs right hand man,
discovered that there new way open to them.
They could take their tags to Fuqua and their argu
ment persuasive never have to go to court at all;
the would simply be dropped.
Over night the innovation became extremely popular
among speeders. parking hogs and other vioators Of
the auto ordinances It developed qualifications fast
and furious. Soon you could go to the mayor if you
his friend; to the chief you his FRIEND
to captain inspector whatnot, il you were
his friend and the mystic process might result.
And that's where the matter stands II you have
influence, pull political strength. money, you
get out Of answering for your motor trangresson
in Seattle.
The Star charges today:
~ That Lieut. Carr doesn't even know how
many such cases are being slipped by him
daily. From other sources The Star learns that
these constitute from 10 to % per cent of all the
persons arrested by the division.
(2.) That Lieut. Carr is helpless to enforce dis
cipline, procure obedience to his orders or to
build morale among his men-because of inter-
ference from above
What are the people of Seattle going to do
about this outrage?

Poor Crops, Good rices
In Valdosta Section

vALDOsTA, Ca, July All
crops have been cut off in this sec
ton by weather conditions, but
prices have remained up and most
of the crops will bring some money
above the cost of production. Water
melons have been selling for fabu'
lous prices. but the crop is very
short. Catalogues were hardly 10
per cent of normal crops and the
quality was poor, so the prices were
poor.
Tomatoes, beans, carrots, cucum-
bers and other vegetable crops have
brought fairly good returns and
many have been shipped.
The big money-making crop prom
Uses to be tobacco, which is being
gathered and cured at present. The
later crop appears to be damaged a
little by the weather, but the quality
generally is very fine. The growers
expect good returns from it.
Taken altogether, the farmers Of
this section are doing very well, de-
spite the shortage in their melon
and cantalOupe crops.
