Highway Travelling
Deadlier Than War

Washington, d. C.-Travel on the
nations highways is more dangerous
than modern war, according to a
statement in connection with nation
al 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 nineteen months
participation in the World War. Traf-
fic accidents in the same period seri-
ously injured more than twice the
total casualties of American troops in
the war, including dead, wounded,
missing and captured, and injured
more than three times the number of
American troops wounded in the nine
teen 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
$600,00O,00O economic loss, an in
crease of 80 per cent in the last seven
years. About IS per cent of these ac-
cidents were due to automobile traf-
fic.

The Worlds Largest
Electric Locomotive

Detroit-At Highland Park plant
of the Ford Motor Company is being
constructed the most powerful electric
locomotive in the world, embracing
many new ideas in mechanical design.
Henry Ford expects to use it on his
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad.
This super engine will weigh $40
tons, will be 1T feet long, Is feet
high, 10 feet wide, and will have six
teen $50 horsepower motors connect
ed with 16 pairs of driving wheels. 1t
is designed exclusively for freight
service and will haul train of $50 or
more loaded box cars. A maximum
speed of 35 miles an hour can be had,
but the actual running speed will be
about II miles an hour.
One of the unique features is that
the locomotive carries it's own con-
verter station, which eliminates es-
tablishment of substations along the
route, a practice at present general in
railroad electrification. Through a
regenerative braking system the Ford
locomotive will have ability to de-
velop electric energy at any speed
from maximum to practically stand
still.

Commentator and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuously as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
BUSINESS SLACKERS

A. Nelson Dodd, the wide-awake
secretary and manager of our Cham
Der of Commerce, is ever on the alert
to advance the interests of the town
and boost for an increasing business.
He rightly believes that more and
better highways centering in Newark
would bring in trade from neighbor-
ing towns and contiguous territory,
and with that object in view has been
pulling for the improvement of the
pike between Newark and Coshocton.
He recently sent letters to one
hundred business men of Newark,
those to whom the improved highway
would be of undoubted benefit, ask
ing them to contribute even the small
sum of from one to five dollars, and
out of the hundred solicitations eight
persons thought the matter of suffi-
cient Importance to even deign an
Acknowledgment of the request.
The little city of Coshocton in two
hours time, raised fund of $3.50 to-
wards putting over the scheme, while
only eight of our business men, out
the hundred to whom the subject was
broached, paid any attention to the
letter from their Chamber of Com
merce secretary.
1t looks as though push, energy
and cooperation in Newark was con-
siderably below zero.

were no laws to protect the life, limb

The Fire Fighters
Want Six-Day Week

Washington-Offi of the Inter-
national Association of Fire Fighters
are assisting locals of that organiza-
tion in the province of Alberta, Can
ada, to secure a six-day week. At the
forthcoming elections in the cities of
Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and
Medicine Hat the question of one
days rest in seven for fire fighters
will be voted on.
"The fire fighters in these cities
work "a hours week, and they are
the only workers who have to labor
seven days a week." said Secretary
Treasurer Richardson of the interna-
tiOnal association.
"A great deal has been said regard
ing the service the public is entitled
to from firemen, but it must not be
forgotten that the public has a duty
to perform if it expects fire fighters
to render this service in the most
efficient form. Present conditions do
not speak very highly for the man
ner in which the public has rewarded
the firemen for their faithful serv-
ice."

Law Aids Landlords
Why Not Tenants?

Westinghouse government has
the power to eject a tenant for non
payment of rent it should withhold
the unfair and unreasonable exercise
Of such power when demanded by
profiteering landlords.
This reasoning is presented by a
committee representing organized
tenants in this city who are resisting
these landlords.
Congress may prevent United
States officials from being the active
instruments of injustice and extor-
ton. States may similarly so act.
There have been too many instances
where law has been an instrument for
executing the will of the callous, the
hard and the unjust upon the victims
Of circumstance" the tenants say.
1t is declared that it is within the
right of the Legislature to prohibit
the court to exercise jurisdiction in
eviction cases "where such eviction is
manifestly unfair and unjust under
the reasonable standard of an enlight-
ened modern public opinion"
In the fight against these gouging
landlords it is shown that values of
apartments have been boosted to
double and treble their market value,
and rentals are now demanded on
these fictitious figures.

(By Federated Press)

When Samuel Gompers was elected
president Of the A. F. of L. the first
time the right of workers to organize
was seriously questioned. Workers
were not recognized as social force,
and only the more courageous protest
ed against many glaring wrongs. The
employer dictated the lives of his en-
ployes and he was publicly praised in
the press because she gave men
work"
Child labor of that time was vived-
ly described by Mr.. Gompers in 1881

lists that formed the A. F. of l..

PUBLICITY OF INCOME TAX
CREATES A REIGN OF RAGE

Observation-Disclosures of income
tax payments has caused a greater
sensation than the recent oil expos
ures. Men who take no interest in
these scandals and who smile indul-
gently when labor attacks injunction
judges, are enraged at what they
term interference with liberty" when
the public reads of income tax pay
ments that range from thousands to
millions of dollars.
These payments, however, are on
the minimum incomes of many indl-
viduals and corporations. They do
not include incomes from tax-eXempt
state and municipal bonds and from
the first Liberty loan, which is tax
exempt. The approximate total of
these three grades of bonds is $780,
OOO,OOO,O00.
The income tax law also allows
wide latitude for depreciation, amor
tization and other exemptions, which
is used by corporations to conceal ex-
cessive incomes.
Several months ago the income tax
bureau of the treasury department
sanctioned an amortization allowance
Of $15,589,614.39 to the Aluminium
Company of America, in which Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon and his
family are interested. This corpora
ton is known as the aluminium trust
and was recently charged with con-
trolling the price of kitchen utensils
used in the homes of the nation.
The operation of the income tax law
was illustrated by Senator La Fol-
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-12-25

lette, who calls attention to the $240
income tax payment of an oil opera
tor who secured one of the valuable
naval oil leases under the Fall-Daugh-
erty regime. This operator declined
to show the senate committee the
books of one of his subsidiary COM
panies, and Senator La Toilette now
charges that the oil magnate paid
that subsidiary 1919 per cent, which
he should pay to the government as
income tax.
The income tax publicity law was
passed by the last congress. The
fight was led by Senator Norris, and
was opposed by President Coolidge
and the old guard. This law provides
that income tax payments shall be
open for public inspection. 1t has
been discovered that another law pro-
vides that income tax payments shall
not be published. This contradiction
has resulted in much confusion.
Attorney General Stone has ruled
that the income tax books may be
inspected, but this information can
not be published.
The next congress will witness a
furious drive to repeal the Norris law.
This will be met by as determined an
effort to make all income tax exemp-
tions public.
The public is worrying large in
come tax payers, as they will be
handicapped in future campaigns for
a sales tax and for reductions in the
surtaxes, as favored by Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon.

Why should we, living in republic
that pretends to be a government OF
the people, by the people, for the peo-
pie, be imposed upon by the oft re-
peated assertion that Supreme
Judge is beyond criticism and beyond
correction? One might well ask,
Upon what meat doth this Caesar
feed that he hath grown so great Z"
When these judges were practicing
attorneys no one considered them I'M
maculate nor infallible How can the
election or appointment Of a question
able attorney to a place among the
judiciary make him so great and make
his decisions so pure and so wise that
other rational men are denied the
right to consider or criticize or weigh
the value of any decree or decision of
any Supreme Judge when Supreme
Courts are composed of falllble men
elected or appointed by fallible elect
ors and fallible executives through
fallible partisan and political influ-
ence? By what process of reasoning
can any one declare that the oath OF
Judge is any better or more binding
or more sacred than the oath Of a
Governor, Congressman, Senator or
President.
There are 435 Congressman in the
United States, each representing
about a quarter of a million of our
hundred and thirteen million people.
Each is selected and delegated as the
representative and voice of his con
stituency, and each is obliged to go
back every two years to the people
for reelection or rejection by well
defined and well considered referen-
dunn so that the people whom he has
served may look him over, review his
acts and re-elect or reject him. The
man who undertakes to question the
integrity or the intelligence of such a
Congressman, questions the integrity
and the intelligence of the 250,000
people who delegate him to go to
Washington as their voice and repre-
sentative. If this is representative
government, then those who sneer at
a to l majority of the 435 represen-
tatives and call them demagogues are
very greatly in danger of being dem
agogues, anarchists and bolshevists
themselves - or something much
worse! So with the 96 Senators, two
from each state, they also are oblig-
ed to take their oath of office, and
every six years go back to their peo-
pie for ratification or reputation.
Are these Senators to be sneered at
and branded as bolshevists when by

vote of Ga to 80 to these 90 men
re-enact at a subsequent term, legis-
lation which a Supreme Court by a
vote of five to four declares uncon-
stitutional? A vote of five to four
means only one-half of a Judge more
than half Of the court.
Many Lawyers in Congress
The man who applies the epithet
bOlsheyist to GA Senators out of Sc
and 290 Congressman out of 435, had
better indulge in little more self
examination and introspection. Poss-
IDLY by that process he might find out
how much more he is himself saturat-
ed with ignorance and incompetency
to pass upon governmental problems
than the men whom he ciiticiZes.
Possibly he might find that he him
self is as honest or intelligent or as
ignorant as some of the legislators
but not more so.
OF the SO Senators ga are lawyers
and former judges, as are also 290 of
the 435 Congressman. In round fig
ures two-thirds of both Houses of
Congress are lawyers, and it is per-
fectly safe to say that among these
$50 odd lawyers and judges in the
two branches of Congress there are
many better lawyers as at least as
good lawyers as are now on the Su-
preme Bench of the nation or the Su-
preme Bench of any Of the State
Courts of the nation. Yes, it would
be safe to say that there are more
good lawyers in the House and Sen
ate today than have sat on the Su-
preme Bench Of the United States in
It's entire history. These lawyers and
judges who are in these two branches
OF Congress are just as conscientious
In respecting their oaths as are the
Judge of any of the courts of the land,
and the men in these two branches of
Congress that are not lawyers are as
conscientious and as intelligent as any
of the men who are criticizing them
and questioning their motives.
Other Professions Represented
There are nearly 200 Congressman
and Senators who represent other
other business interests
and employments, and in their many
lines of thought and experience they
have developed reason and logic and
many of them are as capable of solv-
ing our problems of government and
general welfare as are the lawyers
and the judges.

SMART MAYOR
WAS TOO OFFICIOUS IN A
BOOZE CASE
Court of Appeals Reverses Judgment
and the Accused is Discharged
From Custody

New Lexington, O.-A decision
handed down here recently by the
Court of Appeals may have far
reaching effect on search and seizure
raids, when conducted or headed by
village mayors.
In the case in question, on October
II, search warrant was issued by
Mayor c. w. King, of New Lexington,
directing the village marshal, J. F.
Adams, upon whose affidavit the war
rant was issued, to search the prem
ises of James Epifano. The marshal's
return purports to show that five gal
Ions of corn whiskey and a small
quantity of wine were found. Epi-
fano was found guilty in Mayor
Kings court and fined heavily. The
case was carried to the Court of APP
peals on error.
The decision states "We are unable
to reconcile the return of the marshal
with the evidence, and find not a
scintilla of evidence of the finding of
the whiskey."
The records in the case show, first:
That the mayor issued a search war
rant to the village marshal, then ex-
ecuted it himself; second: That in the
trial of the case in which he was sit
ting, as the judge and jury he acted
as the attorney for the state; third:
That while still sitting as the court
he offered himself as a witness on be-
half of the state; fourth: That he de-
clded the case as such magistrate pre-
sumably according to law in a fair
and impartial manner.
The decision says further: "Such
conduct upon the part of magistrate
is entirely inconsistent with our the
ory OF the law, to say nothing con-
cerning the individual rights of the
party who is on trial and whose lib
erty is involved in the issue.
The trial of a liquor case should
be conducted in the same manner and
under the same rules of law and pro-
cedure as any other criminal case and
the enforcement of the liquor laws
should be governed by the same re-
gard for law and orderly procedure
as any other case, and it is such pro-
ceedings as have been disclosed in
TINS case that render the enforcement
OF the liquor laws obnoxious to de-
cent and law-abiding citizens.
1T therefore follows that in this
case the judgment of the court will
be reversed and the accused discharg-
ed from custody"
During the trial of Epifano, counsel
TOR the defense objected to Mayor
klng testifying and hearing the case.
