MARYLANDERS
To WORK FOR
D. c. VOTE

ROCKVILLE, Md, Jan. TO-
Three courses Of immediate &C
tion were decided upon by the
Rockville Pike Citizens Associa-
ton last night in connection with
q drive to procure voting rights
for the District Of Columbia.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted stating that "the relief Of
the residents of the District from
their anomalous position" is an
urgent matter and that interest
N 1t should be aroused among the
Watizens of Maryland.
Embodied also in the resolu-
tons were plans for action in
the matter. The backing Of the
Maryland legislature will be
sought in petition to that body
to name a State committee to as
sist in the passage Of bills now
pending in Congress for suffrage
In the District.
Merle Thorpe, editor of Nations
Business, as delegate to the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation,
will announce the action of the
association to that group at it's
meeting Monday night, and will
seek the support Of the federation
In the work.
Seven persons were named to
form a committee for the purpose
Of cooperating with the citizens
Joint committee on national repre-
sentation for the District of Co
lunbia. The early passage of bills
By Congress is asked by this
group with which the citizens
association will work.
The resolutions cited the COM
parison Of the present case to
that existing when Maryland fur
nished troops in support of the
action Of the people Of Boston in
protest against the tea acts. They
stated that the section now in
cluded in the District and Mont
gomery county was active in the
former episode and that there is
the same reason today for Mary
land people to make common
cause with the District of Colum-
bia."

An Example OF
Crime Prevention

The railroads Of the United States
have set an example of crime pre-
vention that might well be emulated
by municipal and state governments.
During the eight years from 1920
to 1928 crime, in general, increased
all over the nation. Yet, in that
period, losses due to robbery on rail
road property were reduced SO per
cent, from over II million to less
than a million annually. It is ex-
pected that a further improvement
will be effected during the current
year.
The efficiency of the railroad po-
lice is given additional proof by the
fact that, during the last few years,
they have average 81 convictions to
each 100 arrests. In comparison to
this, the ratio in many of our large
cities is about one to ten.
The success of the railroad police
is due to the fact that, following the
example of the United States Secret
Service, they consider no case clos
ed until it is cleaned up. Criminals
are pursued relentlessly until cap
tured. AS a result, such gentry as
card sharpers, confidence men and
baggage thieves have been practical
ly driven from the railroads.
Here is the simplest of all meth
DDS of crime prevention-to make
crime improbable by swift appre-
hension of criminals. The under
world has little stomach for it's pur-
suits when a prison cell beckons. If
all police departments adopted this
system life and property in our
great cities might become relatively
safe. Crime, nurtured by our SUI
per-abundance Of laws and political
graft. will continue to grow until a
new leaf is turned.
