Bancroft. the historian. says that
eleven Of the thirteen state delega-
lions signed the proposed Constitu-

The Parking Pro position

THERE may be deep pang in IT, but il is quite prob
able that the day is not far distance when automobiles
will be absolutely prohibited from parking in the public
streets for brief periods The great increase in the
number of and the dangerous congestion they create
will make this order necessary.
When you come to think Of IT, why should parking in
the public streets be allowed? Why should long lines Of
stationary be permitted to thorofares retard
traffic, and endanger property and human life? Why
should public streets be blocked DISTRACTED by any
body anything? Why should automobile be conceded
any privileges in the of the streets that not
coded to ohers These questions that being asked
The only answers negative
But the automobiles carry to the business men,
it is urged There is doubt expressed about that too
Some business there who assert that the bust
they get from automobile patrons does not even in
small degree recompense them for the business they
lose because the immediate front we'll neghborhood
of their establishments blocked with cars.
However, the main argument against parking that it
utterly neutrazes the purposes for which streets
estabshed-he open and free and safe movement of ra
fc Standing do not constitute traffic. but they do
constitute not only hindrance to traffic but they lessen
the provided width of street. according TO the space
they occupy AS matter of right, this sort of thing
cannot be defended any more than can be the Of
the streets for garage storage purposes.

The Standard of Lining

a NDREW w. MELLON, part owner of the aluminium
trust and also secretary of the treasury contends
that the high tariff aluminium established by the Ford
ney-McCumber bill is necessary to maintain American
standard of living for aluminium company employees.
That has Interested the Knoxville Sentinel enough to
inquire to what is this American standard of living
which means much to Mr. Mellon. Near Knoxville is
of the Mellon aluminium plants The Sentinel found
that the company pays % cents hour for eight hours
per day, making 81 day, but gives bonus of 50 per
week to willing to work So hours week. that is
seven days week.
That wage means that Mellon private employees
Knoxville about $500 year. which is slightly
than one-third what the department of labor tells
Mr. Mellon a public employer spending Uncle Sans
money is necessary to maintain an American standard of
living for the average family.
All of which interesting, in view of the fact that the
90 per cent profits of the aluminium trust taken by
law acting thru the tariff out of the pockets of the
American people
Long live the American standard of living
