Honest Committees
Named by Speaker

In his loud confession of honesty
made at the opening session of the
House Speaker Lee asserted that his
opponents knew of his honesty and
that he would name honest commit
tees. Very good. But two years ago
he named the committees and they
were practically the same as those he
named this year except that he has
now stricken off the names Of those
Democratic members who refused to
vote for his reelection. Now the ques-
ton arises as to whether the COM
mittees he named two years ago were
honest. If they were, why did he
change them, l would like to know.
In any case l am deeply gratified to
see that the Speaker has confessed
himself to be honest in political af-

Traffic engineers who prepared
the code for the American Engi-

study of conditions in all cities
with more than $4,000 population
say that most accident and traffic
delays can be attributed the hess
of uniformity among cities in their
signals, signs and marking for regv-
lation of street traffic.
No two cities in the United
States, these experts observe. have
exactly the same set of rules and
system of markings to aid NOV

plan Is to urge all cities to join IN

which all motorists can readily I'M

would know that a red signal would

until a green signal is displayed.
They would know that green gives
permission to go, subject to the
safety of others; and that yellow
after green means STOP before en-

close to the intersection that you
cannot stop with safety. They would
