DRUEN|NG BUDGET
FACES ROUGH ROAD
Financial Plan of German
Chancellor Certain to Meet
With Opposition.
~ ths Associated Press.

~ The Associated Press.
BERLIN, October Although COM
mended widely, the financial program
OF Chancellor Bruening and his cabinet
published yesterday. seemed certain to-
day to travel a rocky road before 1t
gains Reichstag approval.
Many observers were convinced that
the parliamentary dissension, which
already, prior to converting Of the new
body, Is disrupting the political life of
the nation, would prevent its passage
at ell. but would precipitate enactment
by decree and the dictatorship which
the presidency has threatened.
Certain to Draw Fire.
The program as presented would tax
the strength Of a government with a
well ordered stable majority in the
Reichstag; as product of the Bruening
ministry. which would not be sure OF
life in even trivial circumstances under
the present Reichstag composition, it
has appeared as a startling. astonishing
document certain to draw the concen-
trated fire of the large opposition ele-
ments in the Reichstag.
But with its rigid economies. its
specifications for reductions of taxes
and its slash of 20 per cent In salaries it
has commanded wide attention, and in
many circles unqualified approval.
Bankers particularly commended 1t TO
the German public.
One flnancier in one Of the most
prominent posts in Germany told the
Associated Press: Mr.. Parker Gilbert's
suggestions have been needed to an eX-
tent and in such a concrete manner as
he himself perhaps never thought could
be expected"
Believes It Will Garry.
This financier further expressed the
opinion that the government program
was bound to have repercussions in
private industry and to bring about
lowering Of both prices and wages. He
believed the program would pass the
Reichstag, saying, 1T will carry of its
own momentum"
But Adolf Hitler's block Of LOT Fas-
cists in the coming Rsichstag loomed
large today as possible impeachment to
not only the financial program but to
other constructive measures which the
government may wish to put through.

HANNA URGES AID

Stockholders Told in Letter
Effects of Bus and Taxi
Competition.

Stockholders of, the Capital Traction
Co. were asked to work for preferential
treatment Of street cars as public trans
portation vehicles, in a letter from
President John H. Hanna, made public
by the company. The letter to the
stockholders inclosed a quarterly divi-
dent of 81 per share of stock
After blaming the present cut-rate
taxicabS for much of the c1mpany's
loss in passengers and revenues, the
letter states: The Capital Traction
Co. is not owned or controlled by out
side capital, but the ownership Is wide
ly distributed and large proportion of

assistance by Owners.
81 believe that you owners can be of
very great assistance 70 your company
in helping to inform the public as to
existing conditions, particularly with
reference to traffic congestion, bearing
in mind always that while the private
automobile has its place in transporta-
ton, the public vehicle carries a far
greater number of persons to ana from
their daily tasks and should, Therefore,
be given preferential treatment, which,
If had, would be helpful to your COM
pany, TO yourselves and the public at
large"
On the subject of the recent increase
IN fare and its effects on revenues the
letter stated: From June l to July %,
preceding the increase, our revenues
were $3.50 per day below last year. From
August to September % our revenues
were 1892 per day below last year. This
indicates that the fare change brought
us approximately $3.50 per day addi-
tional revenue. Economies effected,
chiefly by schedule changes and the
elimination of unnecessary service, have
resulted in reduction in operating ex-
penses for the first eight months of the
year to the amount of $30,l39. During
the same period taxes showed a reduce
ton of $4,000"
Difficulties Increased.
On taxi competition the letter states:
THE tremendous increase during the
last six months in the number of cheap
hat-rate taXicabS in Washington has
seriously added to the traf1c difficulties
and has made great inroads lpon our
passengers. From testimony offered by
drivers and owners of cabs at a recent
hearing before the Public Utilities Com
mission, the cut-rate service now rem
dered is not remunerative and the num-
Der OF cabs now operated may be les
sened. The seriousness of this compe-
tition as it affects us is due to the
ability of the cabs to operate when and
where they will, while we must furnish
continuous service on approved sched-
ules under all conditions and are COM
PEELED to charge the same rate OF fare
for both short and long rides. Traffic
congestion, augmented by the increased
number OF cabs, now makes operation
Of street cars and buses at a reasonable
rate OF speed extremely dif11cult."

PROPOSES CHANGE
IN SCHOOL PROGRAM
Educator Suggests 0mitting
Home Study in Minor Grades
and Extra Vacations.
REV. NAPOLEON GILBERT,

A revised school program which en-
braces the elimination of home study
in the first six grades and school terms
of 10 TO IL weeks with intervening va
cation periods was recommended yes
terday by DR.. Thomas d. Wood, Column
bia University health education expert,
in report which is to be considered IN
the White House Child Welfare Con-
ference.
In the report he made for his COM
n1ittee, DR.. Wood would effect striking
changes in the school calendar, which
would embrace even 13-month year
Home study should be entirely elimi-
mated in the first six grades. and it has
little TO recommend it in high school,
the report asserts. Continuing with its
criticism of the present organization OF
school life, the report asserts that
school is too formal, vacation too
empty" 1t urges Boards of Education
to take charge of children on a year
around basis.
Reasons Assigned for Change.
A school term 10 to IL weeks in
length. with a week of vacation inter-
vening. was suggested on the theory
that even adult efficiency declines after
II weeks of work without vacation.
1.-THE adoption of the new 13-month
calendar would help in the adjustment
of such program" the report said.
The school bell would have differ
ent meaning, midmornings and mid
afternoons, under its recommendation
that the 15-minute recess should be
period of genuine rest, not play, with
as complete relaxation as possible and
real quiet.
However, 80 minutes of physical edu-

School authorities were urged to make
Summer health round-ups to discover
physical defects and secure their cor

Sees Need Of Nurses and Dentists.
Nurses, dentists, oculists and physi-
clans were listed among school needs,
and the report urged one psychologist
for every 1000 to 1900 pupils In the
elementary school and one for every 500
to 900 pupils in secondary schools TO
take charge of psychological testing and
vocational guidance.
The committee pronounced 'undesir-
able" county, State and national cham
pionship tournaments in competitive
games and said endurance tests, such
as long distance running, should be
omitted from the physical education pro-
gram
But nutrition should be taught every

STAYING ON THE JOB

Mr.. Hoover's action in canceling his
plans for vacation trip to the west Ill
order to remain at the capital to aid the
drought relief activity, can be fully ap-
preciated by any who have had to forego
the pleasures of a vacation.
1t is his duty to remain at his post,
particularly when q crisis arises, and
man is not supposed to be praised mere
ly for doing his duty. But we can SYM
pathize with the President, who is only
human being like the rest of us and to
whom vacation is as pleasant as it is
to any of his fellow citizens.
Remaining in Washington for the sum-
mer is not the incest thing in the world.
Here in Imperial Valley we grumble at
the heat but our heat cannot be COM
pared to that of the national capitol.
Washington has q climate that plays ha-
voc with even the most even tempered.
Its humidity is unusually high as we'll
as its temperatures and not even light
weight clothing does much to relieve the
uncomfortableness.
True the President works in an arti-
ficially cooled room. He has his summer
camp on the Rapidan near at hand. But
even with these cOnvenences, he is still
tied to the same old routine day after
day. Having for years been an out of
doors man, Mr.. Hoover naturally chafeS
at the restraint the duties of his office
impose upon him.
Some have expressed doubt that con-
dtions in the middle west are as bad as
they are reported. 1t is our opinion they
are fully as bad if not worse. A recent
trip through that section showed US con-
ditions at first hand and they appeared
severe enough at that time to warrant
the serious attention of the national gov
ernment.
Mr. Hoover has received call for an
entirely new brand Of farm relief His
decision to stay on the job and do what
he can to relieve the distress is part OF
his job but it is none the less admirable.

Osborne Speaks
To Lions Club

Building and loan associations
and their Importance IN the nation 5
life, were explained to the weekly
meeting of the Lions club ycster-
dav bv Hugh T. Osborne of the I'M
perial Valley Building and Loan
Association.
Tracing the start of building and
loan associations in Scotland, the
speaker stated that the business re-
ccived its first recognition IN TINS
country from Benjamin Franklin,
who left in his will the sum of So,
600 to be used in aiding those VINO
wished to build homes for them
selves. This sum was used TO create
a fund which was afterwards IN
creased to more than half Il million
dollars by leading citizens of Bos
ton.
California's first building and
loan association was started in 1860
and since that time the industry
has developed rapidly. Osborne
pointed out that the laws of the
state are very stringtnt regarding
the organization and conduct Of
building and loan associations.

SPEED AND IT'S VICTIMS

Three deaths on Imperial Valley hlgh-
ways in one week is not record OF when
this community can be proud, but shoulo
serve as a warning to all that good roaas
and traffic officers alone cannot MAKE
the highways safe.
Safety for himself and others rests
with each individual driver.
In two of the three fatal accidents
speed, which is strong factor IN prac-
tically all fatal crashes, played an I'M
pouant part Despite warnings on the
new highway to Holtville that speeding
on it is dangerous because of the untln-
ished condition Of the shoulders, young
man had to speed and paid for his reck-
lessness with his life. In another case
the driver chose to speed despite the tact
that his headlights were bad and ne could
hardly see the road in front Of him. lie
too paid with his life and companion
is in the hospital badly injured.
The third accident, and the first OF the
three to happen, had speed as factor
but in reality was caused by driver neg
lecting to keep his head. He decided to
pass a truck although traffic was COM
ing against him and stepped on the gas
instead of falling back to wait until the
road was clear ahead.
The state law permits speed OF Az
miles per hour on the highways which is
fast enough, particularly where the trat-
fic is heavy. Greater speeds may be used
with safety where the road is clear and
the condition of the car is good. Travel
ing at so miles an hour and upwards IN
a car that is in poor condition or
equipped with old tires, cuts down the
drivers margin Of safety to minimum,
and practically eliminates it if mechanl-
cal or tire trouble should occur. Yet
people do it and will continue to do It..
There is no explaining the craze Tor
speed. Youngsters who have been drlV-
ing few years, old timers who have drlv-
en- for a generation, women who might
be expected to be somewhat timld-alI
must speed when they get behind the
wheel of an automobile.
An example Of three human lives sacrl-
feed to the craze may serve as tempor-
ary warning but it can hardly be expect
ed to be permanent one. The demon
must have his victims and the potential
victims seem to be only too willing to be-
come realities.
