Cutting Down Accidents.

According to statistics prepared by the
National Association OF Motor Clubs there
are now owned and operated 100000 motor
cars, approximately one car to every seven
people AT no time in the history OF the
country have there been SO many motor
drawn vehicles crowding city streets and
country roads Completing conditions are
all sorts and kinds of drivers, some tempera-
mentally unfit to control the throttles OF 80
to 90 horse power engines, to say nothing
of their judgment in handling steering gear.
The association advocates more thorough in
vestigation and instruction Of drivers
Evidently the association is looking more
to se1f-protection of owners and drivers than
to protection from law. State after state has
enacted law after law, and there are more
accidents today in proportion to the number
Of cars owned than there were five years ago
when half the number Of cars were in opera
ton Experience counts for little when com
petng with ignorance and unitness which
knowledge Of law seems not to aid

Some Tax Relief.

Although high government officials and
finance experts do not consider that the tax
reduction law recently enacted is one that
brings the kind of reform desired, it still can
be said that the masses of American workers
will enjoy relief from some burdens of tax
alton Millions of men and women who earn
small incomes-and these are greatly in the
majority-are to have their taxes cut rs per
cent the reduction applying to the returns
made for 1924
This provision is special deduction and
affects all incomes alike up to $4,000. 1t
readily can be seen that many millions OF
workers will be given relief in the payment
of current taxes The treasury department
has explained just how the taxes are to be
paid this year.

Neither Smith Nor McAdoo.

Leaders of the McAdoo campaign Tor the
democratic presidential nomination will not
be to blame if their candidate fails in the
New York convention. At least they cannot
be held responsible for failing to do what
they conceived to be their duty. They GER
tainly are staying on the job night and day.
They may lack something as to system and
method, but when it comes to energy, they
have everything the most exactng candidate
could demand,
At present Mr. McAdoo is the strongest
democrat in the field when delegate strength
alone is considered He has more delegations
lined up than his closest competitor Gov
ernor Smith, of New York, and yet neither
man appears to have what would be called
a good chance to win in the convention Pre-
convention campaigns frequently turn out tc
be races that compare favorably with thai
of the tortoise and the hare.
The situation has not changed appreciably
in the last few weeks. True, Mr.. McAdoc
has continued to gain new strength, bu
Governor Smiths candidacy also has beer
given a boost so that the two are on abou
the same terms that existed a month ago
The thing to keep in mind is that the Smitl
strength while not powerful enough to in
fuence the convention in favor OF the gov
ernor is still able to check any McAdot
stampede that may be started. This rule vii
work both ways, too. The McAdoodlers als
can stop the Smith outfit
The fact OF the whole matter is that Their
are better democrats than either Mr.. Nc
Adoo or Governor Smith available. Senate
Ralston is better choice, and so is John W
Davis.

Nickels and Dimes.

One of the biggest fortunes in America
was built up by nickels and dimes, as shown
by the death of Mrs Jessie Creighton Wool
worth. widow of F w Woo1worth founder
of the chain of and l0-cent stores through
out the country -Four years ago, when Mr..
Woolworth died, the estate was estimated to
be worth from $35000000 to $400O0O00, and
now it is said to have increased to $60,000OOO.
1t would require l200000000 nickels to
represent fortune in that amount. Nickels,
no doubt, formed the bulk of the fortune, the
10-cent sales being in the minority in the
business conducted in the various stores. One
of the sights in New York is the Wool
worth building, a skyscraper pointed out as
built with nickels and dimes"
Little things do make big things When
it is realized that in building up the enor-
nous Woolworth estate with nickels and
dimes, the profits represented only frac-
ton OF the units of money handled the sales
necessarily must go beyond mans conception
of notation Perhaps millions of billions OF
articles were thus sold since the Woodwork
chain Of stores was founded

Some Staggering Figures.
From the Commerce News.

1t is no wonder that taxes are so burden
some 1t is not surprising that the people
are complaining. But few people actually
know how extravagant our law makers have
become. They dish out money as if it grew
on trees The more they get the more they
want. There seems to be no end to appro-
priations.
Mr. Bentley w. Warren in an article pub
Hshed in the March number of the Atlantic
Monthly shows to what lengths OF extrava-
gance the evil is running in the following
To what is this staggering increase in
federal expenditure due? Space permits only
a few illustrations Hamilton placed the SUI
pervsion of agriculture among the things
proper to be provided for by local legisla-
ton and which could never be desirable
cares of a general jurisdiction Nevertheless
in 1862 modest bureau of agriculture was
set up in Washington. For It's use tor one
wear $4,000 was appropriated. In 1852 TINS
bureau was erected into a department and
the commissioner of agriculture was made
member OF the cabinet. Its appropriation
for that year was 81, 1874 480. The appropria-
tons for this single department in the current
first year 1923-24) is $85, 061, 453-more than
the entire ordinary annual cost of the gov
eminent, exclusive Of so-called war expenses,
in any year from the Inauguration OF Wash
ington to and including the year 1890.
/
created bureau OF public roads. The first
apportionment of federal aid in the con-
struction OF highways began in 1917, with
S4850000, or $1,000 for each of the 800
working days in year. The apportonment
for 1922 six years later, was $73, 125,000, or
$243750 per working day The total appor
tionment for the six years 19l7-l922 was
$3.50 1875 900
The Federal Trade Commission was es-
Of
$75000 Eight years later its appropriation
was $995,000 or thirteen times the initial
and expected annual expense.
In April 1922 the Children's Bureau was
deposited like a founding on the doorstep of
the department of labor. 1t asked and OBJ
tanned only $25,640, and its staff consisted
OF six persons. At the end of its second year
it had 70 people on its payroll, its appro-
priation being $164,000, and in 1928 it is
costing $1240,000
in 1918 the civil war pensions called for
$144,65l,244 Last year 1929 they requir-
ed $236,l51 pa Had it not been for Presi-
dent Harding'S courage in yetoing the So
called Bursum bill there would have been
added according to his veto message, fur
Their Sl08,000000 to the annual pension ex-
penSe.'
Thus, year by year, appropriations in
crease. A billion dollars to the average leg
islator seems no more than two cent post
age stamp. Congress appropriates by the bill
lions and issues bonds to raise the money.
The poorer the average man gets the higher
goes the tax rate. The same is true in de-
gree in Georgia. Every session OF the leg
lslature calls for more money, and every year
