Between June and o'clock of the morning of June Is
seven persons killed by automobiles in the District and

That does include the bloody in the counties
close to Washington which, after each Sunday turn in their

deaths in sixteen days. average of every other day
Our traffic authorities constantly busy with ideas
and with the formation of plans for laws and regulations
to into effect July l. but is quite unlikely that these
regulations will add to the safety Of human beings here
There sufficient laws in this city protect the public
against incompetent drivers and widespread reckesnes and
speeding the of the great majority Of automobile
casualties and mishaps
Are traffic authorities to look upon this increased
of human beings impossible to avoid? Or will
they set foot rigorous campaign to punish needless and
reckless drivers before the killings grow still larger?
Are courts and their prosecuting officers to continue
to view with compacency and lenency this sacrifice to the
Joy riding activities of drivers?
Hasn't the time for traffic policemen and the courts
to cooperate steady campaign that will put fear in
the souls of those drivers who feel that they do they
please with the streets Of this CITY, and act just that way?

This Proposed Increase In
Gasoline Tax

For the fiscal year ended June 80 1880 the collections from
the 2cent gasoline tax in the District amounted to $629
and all of it went into special fund for roads and streets
The Mapes special committee of the House now comes
along with proposition increase the gasoline charge
per gallon practically doubling the income the
last fiscal year.
It is clear that such amount will be needed in street
improvements and repairs here in addition to the assessments
levied property owners for street improvements.
Briefly the suggestion is just scheme to add to the taxa
on of District people, to boost District to prevent
the Federal Government doing its just share in the fiscal ex
pense of this city.
About the only for the proposition is that the var
States of the country have been increasing their gasoline
taxes and that Washington peopethe old story
should pay whatever States and cities pay in taxes
4cent tax here would exceed the gasoline taxes in
seventeen States and be the paid fifteen States
but all these States there extensive where road
construction and repairs necessary and these taxes
presumed to be for better roads
The District of Columbia is small area It's streets and
roads have long been in comparatively good condition They
about the best in the United States We have
extensive roads to build long mileage to for
We do not need additional gasoline taxes.
The main objection to increase that special taxation

Claude G.. Bowers Discusses HoOver's Speech

lists, and note how much ad-
vanced the latter was 80 years
ago than Mr.. Hoover is today.
Mckinley warned us that we
had entered upon the period of
international trade and that
reciprocity had become the
economic necessity of the hour.
Mr.. Hoover cannot see that
even now. Manufacturers see
it. Bankers see it. Econom-
lists see it. But the head of
the nation cannot see it; and
therein lies the tragedy of our
depression.
Why Indianapolis Was
Chosen for HOOver'S Speech
1t is interesting to note that
Mr.. Hoover selected Indianap-
oils as the city in which to as
sumo the role of the party
leader and lay aside for the
moment the role of the Presi-
denCy.
Interesting, because on the
one occasion of his eight years
in office when President Will
son frankly spoke as a partisan
it Was also in Indianapolis. For
80 years Indiana has been a hot
bed of politics, and that may
explain why Indianapolis is a
favorite city for a political
speech.
Political Crisis
In Indiana
But in this instance it is more
probable that the political situa-
tion in Indiana may be RESPONSE
BILE. Three years ago this fall
the State went hell bent" for
Hoover, and 10 of the 13 Con-
gressmen elected we're Republi-
cans, and the electoral vote
went to Mr.. Hoover by an un-
precedented majority.
The reaction came with un-
paralleled speed. One year
later, in the municipal elections,
the Democrats swept all the
cities of any Size-in a land
slide.
And last fall the Congress
sional delegation was reversed
the Democrats electing three
fourths of the congressman.
1t, too, was a landslide.
The depression of the Presi-
dents party leaders in Indiana
is profound, and the evident
intent of the Indianapolis speech
was to hearten these. Has 1t
done it? In heavens name,
how?

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

your toes spread and your
fangs barred. Meet Smith with
your MIND. with your cool,
controlled mind. THINK about
him. instead of FEELING
about him. Size him up-quiet-
ly, deliberately. Don't begin to
rave within yourself because
he's a crook and coward. Ac-
cept those facts without emo
tion. just as you'd accept the
fact of a cockroach, or tire
some noise. or a disgusting
odor.
You don't go up in the air
when you meet a cockroach.
You can THINK about cock
reaches without FEELING
about them. Don't go up in
the air when you meet a Smith.
THINK about him-but keep
your FEELINGS in cold stor-
age. Smiths a pest. But that's
HIS bad luck-it needn't be
yours. Decide how you will
deal with this pest. Then act
on that decision. You may
have to act very drastically.. e.
but you DON'T have to get
hot n bothered. Use your
head instead of your heart in
handling Smith. THINK. -.
ACT. BUT DON'T EMOTE.
Your Own Anger
For the minute you begin to
emote you're cooked. You have
then something much worse
than Smiths cussedness to deal
with. you have your own
anger and fear. Smiths GUS
sedness is OUTSIDE you. But
your anger and fear are IN
SIDE you, and you're licked
If they once get control.
Smith may do things to
your OUTSIDE life, but he
can't do anything to your IN
SIDE life, unless you let him.
No matter how bad the breaks,
as long as you can CONTROL
YOURSELF you hold all the
aces.
1t isn't possible to LIKE
everybody.
BUT YOU'RE A FOOL IF
YOU DISLIKE THEM. For
DISLIKE does worse things to
you than the other fellow can
possibly do.

In his speech before the In
diana Republican Editorial AS
sociation, President Hoover steps
out Of his role as the President
of the United States to assume
that of the leader of his party.
His speech is purely political,
and while intended as an apol-
ogy for the tragic failures of
his Administration, It will fall
far short of creating either
confidence or enthusiasm among
the millions who are anxiously
awaiting an adequate leader
ship to get us out Of the mess
in which we find ourselves.
Speaking in the midst Of the
most serious depression this
country has known, the Presi-
dent has nothing to offer. He
does not make a single sug-
gestion that gives any promise
of results. He offers no pro-
gram.
Attempts to Justify
Antique Policies
Apparently he has not even
profited by the blunders of his
regime. He attempts, instead,
to justify the very policies that
have greatly contributed to
the distress of business, the
policies that have been con-
demned by every intelligent
economist and by the most en-
lightened business men.
The purport of this speech
is that the tariff act is our
business and that we passed
the Grundy bill to maintain
our prosperity" and the
implication is that this pros
perity has been maintained.
It was intended to keep other
nations from trading with us;
but the President, referring to
the enormous loss in trade,
sees no connection between
the loss and the policy.
Unable to Perceive
New World Conditions
Amusingly enough, he tells
the Hoosier farmers that the
tariff was intended for their
salvation; and every farmer
krows that the week he signed
the bill the price of farm
products dropped and that they
have been going down since.
No one realizing the serious
ness of our situation can read
this speech by the head of the

I'D get along with them all

decently. But they don't.
They're lazy and silly and dis
honest and mean and conceited.
That's why can't get along

No, it isn't, stranger. People
might possess all these disagree
able qualities and you could
still get along with them
YOU KNEW HOW TO GET
ALONG WITH YOURSELF.

Man Mean People
The world is full of mean peo-
rle. You can't help that.
But you CAN help your own re-
action to those mean people.
You CAN control the qualities
within yourself that give mean
ness power over you. How?
BY USING YOUR HEAD IN
STEAD OF YOUR EMOTIONS.
There's Smith, for instance.
You dislike Smith intensely.
Every time you meet nim, he
rubs you the wrong way. After
you leave him, your day is
spoiled. You keep thinking of
that smarty smile of mis-, that
sneaky look. The more you
think, the madder you get. AS
a consequence, you forget to
keep that important appoint-
ment. You bungle your letters.
You snap at everyone you meet.
In short, you run amuck. Whose
fault is it? You think it is
Smiths fault. You think that
Smiths cussedness has caused
this riot. You're wrong-1t's
your own fault. Well grant
that Smith is cussed, but your
own lack of self-control caused
the riot.
You can't help meeting Smith.

WIR PICNIC FOR
MINERS RELIEF
Two Children From
the Mine Fields

NEW YORK.-The Picnic and
Solidarity Festival arranged by the
WIR for miners relief and the chill
dren's camp campaign, is only few
days off. Sunday, June 21st. at ten
in the morning, thousands Of work
ers will gather at Pleasant Bay Park,
Unionport, Bronx, to spend happy
day in the open.
The Workers Laboratory Theatre
and Proletbuhne have written spe-
cial Solidarity Mass Recital for this
event.
Two children from the Pittsburgh
strike area-one a child-niner, the
other the daughter of a miner-will
be there TO tell of actual conditions
in the strike-ridden area.
Comrades Stokes and Turner, who
received severe sentences in the
Bronx boss courts for the crime of
selling the Daily Worker will tell of
their experiences while in prison.
From the Volga to Gastonia"-a
movie showing vivid scenes in the
class struggle, will be shown. A rich
program, including dancing, mass
singing, music, games, and athletics
is constantly being enlarged. The
Harlem Progressive Sports Club will
play a soccer with the Forwartz
Sports Club, and there will be many
surprise attractions.
All workers who come will have a
good time. But-what is far more
important-they will show their soil
darity with the striking miners, with
unemployed workers, by helping the
Miners Relief Campaign and the
WIR Children's Camp Campaign.
