Highway Travelling
Deadlier Than War

Washington-Travel on the ma
TONS highways is more dangerous
than modern war, according to a
statement in connection with a ma
tional conference called by Secretary
of Commerce Hoover to discuss this
question.
Last year, the statement says, traf-
fic accidents in this country took a
toll of lives almost exactly One-third
of the total battle losses of Ameri-
can troops in their 10 months parti-
cipation in the world war. Traffic
accidents in the same period serious
ly injured more than twice the total
casualties of American troops in the
war, including dead, wounded, miss
ing and captured, and injured more
than three times the number of
American troops wounded in the 10
months.
The loss in the United States due
to street and highway accidents, last
year, amounted to 22,600 human lives,
678,000 serious personal injuries and
$600,000,000 economic loss, an in
crease of 80 per cent in the last seven
years. About IS per cent of these
accidents were due to automobile
traffic.

than draw in the duel of recrimina-
tions that has each time resulted.
A tenants league has been organ
lied, and its leaders are now conduct
ting a systematic agitation. The
managers have responded in some
cases by stationing "bouncers" at the
doors of palatial apartment struc-
lures, with the consequence that
newspaper reporters, doctors called
for professional services, and mem
bers of tenants families have been
forcefully elected from the lobbies.
A mass meeting in the auditorium
of the central high school has been
arranged, in order that the tenants
who have been unable to voice their
grievances at home may do so with
out suppression. AS yet they have no
specific plan for overcoming the court
lineup with the real estate ring.
On most of these apartment build
ings the outstanding mortgages and
loans represent a watered valuation,
promoted by building spectators
since the war. Tenants must make
good on the water, just as in rail
roading or in steel.

r. E. OLDS, OF REQ MOTOR COMPANY
ADVOCATES GOLDEN RULE IN BUSINESS

The following year shipments reach
ed 100 carloads a month, and we had
more business than we could handle.
"The automobile has done more to
speed up the world than any other
article ever manufactured" says R.
f. Olds. at has not only carried the
farmer to the city, but has given the
city man taste of the open. 1t has
created and built up new markets, it
has quickened trade and raised the
standards of living, it has opened up
new localities to greater production,
and it has helped very materially to
make America the headquarters of
mass production"
And this is worth pinning up on
every desk and bench:
"If men would make a greater eff
fort to put the Gold Rule to work in
business and would work more hon
estly to give 100 cents in return for
every dollar, we would have fewer
labor troubles, fewer business cycles,
less unrest and greater general pros
perity."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-12-05

The career of R. E. Olds, one of
the pioneers of the automobile indus
try and now chairman of the REQ
Motor Car Company, is described in
an interesting article in Forbes Mag
azine IN. W. Of the formation and
early days of the REQ Company, Mr.
Olds says:
"This happened in August, 1904,
and we got to work so quickly that
within a month ground was broken
for the new factory, and by October
Is we ran out the first REQ car for
trial. Of course it was built in tenn
porary quarters. By November 20, l
had personally driven this car over
1000 miles in tests besides superin-
tending the construction of the plant
and its equipment, and had placed or
ders for the material for the first
1000 REQ cars. And by the middle
of March we shipped our first car
load of cars. Before the end of the
season we had shipped 300 carloads
and sales had amounted to $1,378, 900.

MUNICH TRIAL IS
!. NOW HELD IN
SECRET
Star Chamber Sessions Are
Instituted at Request
of Witness.
By 8. ID. WEYER,
International News Service.


MUNICH, Feb. 28.-The first
secret session in the Ludendorff-
Hitler high treason trial, arising
from the short-lived "beer cellar
revolt" Of last November, was held
today while Lieut.. Col. Herman
Kriebel was testifying.
Kriebel had been testifying for
an hour when he requested the
court to go into star chamber
session. Thereupon the press and
public were excluded.
Kriebel, who is rabidly anti.
French, served in the German army
in the great war. He described
his experience at Spa after the
German revolution of 1918 when
he drove through a crowd of Bel
gians who howled insults at him
and Kissed him.
The witness said he called out
to them:
IT will see you again in a few
years" N. -.
The Belgians. the witness said,
answered him with rifle shots.
kriebel was later a member of
the armistice commission. Much
OF his public testimony was q
repetition Of what had already been
told regarding the Hitler uprising
and the developments in Munich
on November and last.

Mrs. Henderson's arguments for
adoption Of her plan follow:
Capital BelnOgs To Ali.
"First-That our Capitol City does
not belong to any body, else than
the men and women of this whole
country, represented by the United
States Congress; and that Congress
does not naturally care to turn 1t
over to anybody else.
"Second-That Congress is a
much overworked body. They have
to conduct the most important at
fairs OF our country and quite q
little Of the affairs of the whole
face Of the earth. They have also
to expend billions OF the peoples
money; that to accomplish this con.
scientiously with proper learning
and skill leaves little or no time for
what 10 comparatively insignificant,
our National Capitol.
"Third-That each and every
state Of our Union has not only
full representative in Congress
but a separate representative gov
eminent at home; also each State
and territory has beside all this a
governor.
Fourth-Now our comparatively
insignificant National Capital, with
a population larger than five States
of the Union, but little less than
several other States, paying taxes
greater than several Of the States
combined, Is supposed to run with
triple form Of government pos
sibly suitable for a small town,
but absolutely unsuitable for so
large an institution as the National
Capital Of the United States.
Two men at the head of affairs
are obliged to be residents of the
District. They do not necessarily
have to be men of any sort of
training for either city develop
ment or city management. The
work is great, the pay small.
Their training is generally only on
commercial lines connected with the
District. Not being of one head,
there Is lack Of responsibility"
"Fffth-Now we residents of
Washington might as well take It
for granted that Congress will
never give US either full or quail.
fled suffrage, and neither could we
expect that a deplorable one or
two representatives Of the District
OF Columbia in Congress, men
without political hacking-expres-
cences, 80 to speak, on the body
polite and among an already over.
worked and overcrowded BODY.
could have influence enough to
mention.
I'VE residents Of the District Of
Columbia want to belong to both
Congress and the President of the
United States,
There Is an established form Of
government which, due to long ex.
perience. has been universally adopt.
ed for all banks and all large bust.
ness corporations Of all kinds.
why should we not so modify
It to suit a government for orr
Capital City, still retaining the
sovereignty OF Congress and the
united States President?"
