Not Over-PrOductiOn

The present depression in the
dairy industry accompanied by low
prices, is not due to over-produc-
ton of milk and it's products, but
rather to a lack of consumption.
In 1929 we produced about fifteen
and one-half million pounds more
butter than we did last year.
Our increase in population is
about one and one-third million,
which, according to our average
consumption of seventeen pounds
of butter per capita, would require
that we produce some 23,000,O00
pounds additional per year. From

Robin at Cruci6xion

The old belief that the robin

which tells how the bird perched
on the Cross when our Lord was
dying, and tried to comfort His

Teaching Highway Safety
In Schools is Advocated
Point Out Dangers to Children and
Show How They Can be
Avoided

The responsibility of school au-
thorities to train and instruct pu-
pills in accident prevention, is en-
phasized in a State Highway bulle-
tin issued this week. Modern traf
fic conditions have created a new
problem which school author
tiles must face, says the bulletin,
and they should point out to the
children the dangers of the high
ways and how to avoid them. Pu-
pills should be taught how and when
to cross streets and highways. They
should be warned not to play on
the highways, to walk on the high
ways only when necessary, and to
walk on the left side facing the
traffic.
Another good safety rule for
school children is to walk in solid
groups, and not in scattered for
nation. One of the best safety
measures, where a school is close
to trunk highway or other busy
thoroughfare, is to have them TAX
en- across in groups by a policeman,
an employe of the school, or pu-
pill designated as a school traffic
officer.
The use of a flag or "stop" sign
to be held in the hand by the Of
ficer or person taking the group
across the highway is recommend
ed. Convenient hand signs for such
use will be furnished by the High
way department to schools whose
pupils must cross a trunk highway

MOTHERS DAY

Mothers Day, which falls on May II this
year, had it's origin in thought by Phila-
delphia young woman Miss Anna Jarvis, at
whose suggestion it was first observed in a
number of cities in the United States in 1910.
The beautiful idea spread rapidly until
it was commended in 1913 by joint resolu-
ton of Congress whereby that body and the
executive departments of the government
recognized the day. In 1914 more formal
recognition was given by Congress, when the
President was authorized to designate by an
nual proclamation the second Sunday in May
as Mothers Day, and to request the display
of the American flag on government build
ings and private homes.
The first proclamation under this author
ity was issued by President Woodrow Wilson
on May 9, 1914, and the custom has been
continued ever since.
The object of the day is to recall memoir
les of mothers who have passed to the beyond
and to pay special tributes of affection to the
living. The badge for the day is the white
carnation, emblematic of the beauty, purity
and fidelity of mother love. By some the red
carnation is worn in honor of living mothers.
Few of us reflect as often as we should
upon the debt of love and gratitude we owe
to our mothers. By thoughts and acts of
sincere affection on Mothers Day, and on
other days, we not only honor them, but also
honor ourselves.

THE TAX-EXEMPT AUTOMOBILE
minneapolis JournaD

minneapolis JournaD
The state supreme court has held that au-
tomobile owned the Fort Smelling Military
walton must pay the Minnesota vehicle license tax,
if it is to be driven Minnesota highways. The
military authorities think otherwise, and plan an
appeal
Whatever the final determination, to the man who
drives a tax-payng it will always seem good
justice, if not good law to make the other pay
it's fair share of highway expenses, unless the other
is of the very few that take the road only
to perform emergency services for the general pub
lie
Taking this view, the man in the tax-paying au-
tomobile is thinking not so much of Fort Smelling
cars, the numerous machines that bear tax-ex-
empt tags, because driven by public job holders, or
members of their families, who may may not be
using them exclusively for the service of the public
If officeholder employee of state, city
county uses chiefly means of transporta-
ton between his home and the scene of his official
activities, why is he any entitled to exemption
from the license tax than Bill Brown who his
chiefly to get to and from the place of his pri-
vate employment or business?
Fire trucks, patrol wagons publicly owned ambu-
lances street department trucks and police used
altogether for police work, have manifest right to
city streets, paid for out of municipal tax money
and not out of funds raised specifically for highway
purposes.
But the car which John Robinson, job-holder,
drives only occasionally public business but which
he drives regularly to and from work. the in
which his wife shops, and in which his family goes
on weekend eXcursons-why should this vehicle bear
a tax-exempt tag?
The answer that tax-exempt cars are not used
for these non-pubc purposes does not suffice. Too
many thousands of non-exempt citizens them
every day the streets that lead from homes to
the Loop and them every pleasant Sunday on
the rural highways.
