REAL HELP
To BILLS
HURT
Form Letters Now Ignored or
Resented-MeIIon Plan
Hurt by Them.
By WILLIAM HARD.


Advocates of the Mellon plan, or
Of the Box peace plan, or of the
Federal department of education
plan or of any other plan might
well be careful nowadays as to
how they organize their efforts to
influence Congress. Congress is a
fit of nerves over propaganda" "
If to-day a Representative or a
Senator gets seven letters which
sound as if they were inspired
from the same source, he calls 1T
propaganda" and discounts the
whole business. Some Congress
men are influenced by letters.
Many are not. Today even those
who are most susceptible to them
are beginning to show restiveness
against them and absolute care
lessness toward the things which
they advocate.
Destroying Real Opinion.
1'he Mellon plan today is suffer
ing from, she lstter-writing enthu-
siasm of the advocates of the Box
peace plan and of other peace plans.
Organized propaganda" is destroy
Ing the effect of spontaneous ex-
pressions of individual opinion.
D1Yffi iro a
bunk, the advocates of the Mellon
plan might as we'll know that it is
a great mistake to send letters
down here that sound as If they
had been circulated in mimeograph
by some Jealous secretary of a
chamber of commerce. The strong
est card held here by the opponents
of the Mellon plan is that too
many such letters have come here
advocating it.
People who want the Mellon plan
really to go through might as
well stop deluding themselves. There
is a majority in Congress today for
reducing taxes ON smaller incomes.
There absolutely is not a majority
In Congress today for reducing taxes
on the larger incomes and for thus
(as Mr.. Mellon persuasively claims)
stimulating business and stimulating
and enlarging general prosperity,
Question For Advocates
The question for any advocate o1
the Mellon plan in its entirety is
today as follows:
What can he do to change this
situation in Congress?
u IDA q
that any Congressman will give
courteous and considerate attention
to any constituent who sends him
Z letter which sounds as if he were
making it up out Of his oWr
thoughts and expressing it in his
own words. 1t can be equally con
fidently asserted that the day has
gone by when any mimeographeC
or stenciled mass movement has
really any effect upon Congress
whatsoever.
Fully a hundred Representative.
and Senators within the last few
days have happened incidentally t.
express to this writer not merely
an Indifference to organized mas
agitations for influencing Congress
but a violent antagonism towar'
them.
Prejudiced by Letters.
Most Congressman today, If the,
receive a large number Of identica
letters, are not merely not pei
Suaded by them but are actuall
prejudiced the other way by then
The wellmeaning peace peopl
are largely responsible for thi
situation. Through their churche
and other organizations they haV
got MILLIONS Of signatures to al
sorts of round-robin peace-pla
declarations. Then, on election da;

their peace plans have bee

like the United States" he would be
satisfied.
Mr.. Moore paid high compliment to
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. In
Europe, he declared. MIR. Mellon is
regarded as one of the greatest men
in the world. When Ambassador de
Riano was introduced as the rep
resentative of Spain he created
laughter when he smilingly replied
that "Mr. Moore is the real repre-
sentative of Spain in this country

TESTS SHOW EYESIGHT OF
 AUTO DRIVERS DEFECTIVE
Out of 524 Involved In Accidents, 176 Were Found With Impaired
 Vision

According to a bulletin of the state department of motor vehicles on file at the police headquarters, out of 524 drivers of automobiles who were in- yolved in accidents in this state in 1928 and who were given an eyesight test, 73 were not able to distinguish colors at all, and 103 were shown by a letter reading test to have ques- tionable eyesight.
 The statement by the department was in answer to a query from the Eyesight Conservation. Council of America, in which the council said: Tt has been noticed from time to time in newspapers and periodicals. that articles appear indicating that you are doing constructive work along the lines of examining eyes of those responsible for automobile accidents, as well as the eyes of those who make application for licenses to drive automobiles"
 There were 50,000 applications for licenses last year, but it was well into the year that the decision was made to test the eyes of all applicants for operators licenses. Commissioner Robbins Stoeckel estimated that ap- proximately five per cent of the op; orators examined by the department, fail to pass the test and are refused licenses.
