GUNS AND AUTOMOBILES.

Coming sessions of State legisla-
lures will probably be faced with ag-
itation for compulsory automobile liza
bility insurance The demand will
come mostly from persons interested
in launching the State into the busi-
ness of furnishing such insurance. 1t
Yill be the old drive of socialism
against private enterprise.
An opponent of a compulsory law
says: The pistol and its ancestor,
the gun, are behind nearly every vio-
lent crime in this country Why
should not every purchaser of dead
ly weapon be required to take out
compulsory insurance for $4,000 to
cover his liability against accidental
or criminal use Of such weapons?"
The newspapers daily record deaths
and injuries from guns resulting from
willful or accidental discharge. The
total list would rival the automobile
casualties. The law provides pun
ishment for criminal use of gun and
it does the same for an automobile.
But it provides no insurance recovery
for a victim accidentally injured by a
gun. Why should the law be stretched
to protect the victim of automobile
accidents and leave the victim of 4
death-dealing gun helpless?
1t would be just as easy to require
the purchaser of a gun to take insur-
ance protecting the public as it would
to require the purchaser of an auto
mobile to carry insurance. In the eff
fort to curb automobile accidents and
gun accidents, it may be necessary to
tighten the liability laws relating to
the owners of such articles. This
would automatically increase the ne
cessity for insurance protection. But
this is no reason for putting the state
into the insurance business.

OUTLAW FIRE CARELESS
NESS.

The individual property owner can
fix his own insurance rate to a great
extent. A man or firm can get a low
insurance rate by furnishing a good
fire risk. He can construct a safe
building or cut down the hazard of an
older building. He can keep his own
premises clear of rubbish and inham-
mable material and can cooperate
with insurance companies by remov-
ing hazard when he is asked to do
so.
The man who keeps a dirty shop or
store or other building where the
risk of fire is constant and expects
to collect insurance IN case of fire. is
no better than the arsonist. He is
an enemy not simply of the insurance
companies but of the community.
Fire losses will be reduced when
there is a general awakening to the
seriousness of the situation; when
there is less individual carelessness;
less deliberate destruction of prop
erty for the sake Of insurance, and
better building codes.

WHO BOOSTS THE TAXES?

Figures recently compiled by the
National Industrial Conference Board
show S7,907 100000 as total taxes coli
lected by Federal State and local gov
ernments during 1924.
Federal taxes experienced a de-
cline of $125 100000 in 1924, while
State taxes increased $4,000, 900 and
local taxes S147, 100000. thus wiping
out all government savings and ad-
ding greatly to the total tax load.
Since 1919 the tendency in Federal
taxation has been downward, while
State and local taxes have shown a
steady increase. State and local taxes
combined in 1924 were more than
three times as large as in 1913.
The figures show clearly that we
must begin right at home to get fu-
ture tax reductions. 1t will be i'm
possible to reduce Federal taxes suf-
ficiently to offset increases in local
taxes. The time is passed when taxes
can be increased with impunity and
the added burden charged against
wartime conditions.

MILES OF HEALTH AT
CHRISTMAS

During the month of December
there will be in circulation 1,250,000,-
900 tuberculosis Christmas Seals, a
billion and a quarter. If we were to
place these penny stickers, end to end,
they would extend from New York
City to Los Angeles, by railroad. and
back again to New York City, more
than three times. In other words,
when placed end to end, there are
63,360 Christmas Seals in a mile.
Think what can be done for an in
dividual by one mile of health, or
S633.60. Think what can be done for
this county with ten miles of health
or S6,336.00. The Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association and its county
branches are now eXerting every eff
fort possible to sell miles and miles
Of Christmas Seals.
The 1925 Christmas Seal, although
attractive in design, is not merely or
namental. 1t is sold for health's sake.
The proceeds of the sale are devoted
to the State in the fight against tu-
berculosis. 1t has been a potent op-
ening to good health in the past and
it has carried and will still carry =
health message to the various corners
Of the earth. Every package and let
ter adorned with Christmas Seal is
a reminder that the call is to all to
enlist in this battle against one of
mankind's worst foes.
