Slump In Fines
And Marriages

The total fines imposed in Justice
Mayfield s court for November are
$7S5.50, as against $50 for the pre-
ceding month. The total number
of fine for November, the preceding
year were $2l84. According to Judge
Mayfield the large share of the
last named sum was the result of
traffic fines imposed. CAS- the off
GERS say traffic is just as heavy at
this season as it was last year at
this time, or about the same, the as
sumption is, | presume, that drivers
are watching their step he said
Business has its upward and its
downward trend and the wise bank
er and business man, is presumed to
guagc his operations by charts that
are printed from time to time for
his benefit remarked Miss Carlotte
Williford, chief deputy in the county
clerk s office. However, it has
come. within our observation that
business conventions, at least as far
as this section is concerned, have
little bearing on the marriage mar
ket. 1t seems to continue on an
average, unless it be during the mid
summer months. -

Static Causes
Fire in House

Static electricity, caused by pour
ing gasoline from one can to another,
caused blaze that did damage es-
timated at about $500 to the home
of Emil $. Cook, 83j Date street,
early last night. He is insured
against fire loss, Cook, preparing
to light stove in the kitchen of his
home, was pouring the fluid from
a large can to the stove tank, when
an explosion occurred, that slightly
burned him about the head and face.
In attempting to smother the flames
that quickly worked their way along
the floor with bedding, he was
burned about the hands and arms.
Neighbors turned in the alarm
and when the department arrived
the flames had attained such head
way that they were shooting up
ward from beneath the roof of the
rear porch. With the assistance of
neighbors, the greater part of the
furniture was removed from the
house. The flames were eXtinguish-
ed in about 20 minutes.
"There is a great deal of static
in this valley because Of certain eli
matte conditions,' declared Chief
Ferguson, land it has unqucstion
ably been the cause of many fires
and burns. Within the past couple
of months two fires preceding this
one, were caused by static. Handle
your gasoline as carefully as you as
YOU can and as little as necessary
You may get away with it many
times and then again you may not,
for the static condition is controlled
by the atmosphere.

Amendment No. 13

Please allow me a little space and l
will drop a few notes on Amendment
No. 13. | am opposed to this Amend
ment. This would allow our school
tax to go to the high limit of lS mills
which would more than likely be voted
as there are many people that cares
not for expenses Just so it don't come
out of their pockets.
Although our taxes are about four
times as high as they were 20 years
ago this would tend to boost them high
er. l am in favor of free schools but
at such rates as we can stand.
We need something to pay the doc
tor, we need food and raiment and so
ON. SO let us one and all consider these
things well before we cast our vote
for Amendment No. 13.
am with Mr.. Whitrock concerning
consolidated schools. Consolidation
would mean for us to do away with
our present school buildings at sacri-
fee prices and issue bonds to build
new ones. When we have gone to this
eVnense we must have some two or
three men with trucks at about 500
per month at each school to carry the
children to and from school each day.
Then this calls for hard surfaced roads
Where are our taxes going to with
them almost out of reachY
When this thing comes then we must
borrow tax money ON our little farms
as long as we can and then let them
sell for taxes or go back to the state.
Now, my dear friends and voters
let MS consider things well before we
act and cast your votes for the better
ment of our country.
Very respectfully yours,

THE press is the most powerful
single weapon OF the working

weapon of the working class and the
exploited farmers of America.
We havey not learned yet how to
use 1t to the best advantage but we
will and the present campaign ito
keep The DAILY WORKER" is testi-
mony to our will to learn to WELD this
weapon hard and well.
THE working class Of America is
forced to struggle. II has TO
struggle whether II wants to or not.
II is the task OF The DAILY WORKER
TO give expression TO this struggle, to
rally the whole working class to the
aid Of the sections which are attacked,
to expose the enemies OF the workers
lin and out of the labor movement
to teach the inevitability OF struggle
and prepare our class for Il.
There are important struggles in
progress IN America now.
Three OF them alone are enough to
show the varied character of these
struggles and, the different sectors on
which the battle. RACES:
u. The struggle to save Sacco and
vanzett iron, the electric chair.
2. The strike of $4,000 textile
