All Adults in Village
Are Sentenced to Jail

KOvnO. Lithuania. - The entire
adult population of the village of
NaujamieSta has been sentenced to
Jail and the 400 inhabitants have
begun serving terms of from two to
four weeks in relays of ten persons.
The jail accommodates only ten at
a time.
The wholesale sentence was the
result Of a forty-two-year court ac-
tion over the right of the citizens
to gather firewood in a nearby for
est, where for generations they had
found fuel, although the government
frequently warned them that the
property belonged to the state and
that trespassing was forbidden.
The town first filed suit against
Czarist Russia and later against the
republican government of Lithuania,
created after the World war. Police
served thousands of notices of vio-
lation of the law, and many fines
were assessed, while the suit was
being decided by the courts. The
government eventually won the ac-
ton. but by that time every per
son in Naujamiesta had been fined
once or twice.
None would pay a fine and the
jailer decided to let them serve jail
terms in relays. Meanwhile the pop
ulation continues to gather firewood
from the forest as before.

NEW FEDERAL TAX BILL
Motorists VIII Pay approximately
S94, 100000 Annually Under Bill

Motorists of the Country will
pay approximately S94,0OO,00O an
nually to the Federal Government,
under the terms of the New Fed
eral tax bill, according to an
nouncement of the American Mo
torists Association, National body
Of the Delaware Autom obile Asso-
citation, 1928 Market Street. The
bill, presented to Congress this
week, will probably be enacted into
law within the next sixty days.
The 2 IA per cent sales tax, which
applies to gasoline, will net the
Federal government approximately
26,0O0,O00. Lubricating oils, car
rying a cent per gallon tax, will
yield another $25,00O,OOO. These
two items, totaling 81 million dol
lars, means an average tax of
about two dollars per annun, to
the 100000 motorists of the
country" it is pointed out by J..
Borton Weeks, President of the A.
NJ. A. Purchasers of new cars,
trucks, tires and accessories, using
the 1881 sales as a basis of COM
putation, will pay under the 2 IA
per cent sales tax, an additional
S43, 100000 annually into the Fed
eral Treasury, making a total of
S94 100000. The motorists share
of the new Federal tax burden is
but approximately 25 per cent of
the Treasury Departments origin
al proposed tax on the motorists,
the bulk of which would have been
raised by the imposition of a one
cent Federal gasoline tax. Impo-
sition of the Federal gasoline tax
was rejected by the Committee,
following universal opposition ex-
pressed to the Committe by motor
ing organizations throughout the
country. The Committees action,
in rejecting the Federal gasoline
tax, and reducing the sales tax on
passenger cars from 5 to IA per
cent will meet with the whole
hearted support Of the motorists of
the country" declares President
Weeks. 1T is expected that Con-
gress, in consideration of the Com
mittee's draft of the new tax mea-
sure, viii not change the provi-
sions of the bill, insofar as the mo-
torists are concerned" the Associ-
atoms statement concludes.

SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS
If on the Road at Night, Face
Traffic, Carry Light or Wear White

Traffic, Garry Light or Wear White
Safety Sally" speaking for the
Delaware Safety Council, says:
Here's a jingle to remember if
you are walking on the road at
night-Face traffic, always carry
light or wear white" Ships that
travel the oceans highways are re-
quired to cary lights in order to
establish their position to other
ocean traffic. The distance Of pass
ing on these highways may be four
or five miles, while pedestrians and
automobiles on our state highways
pass each other at distances of
four to five inches and many pc
destrians do not wear white or
cary a light to indicate their posi-
ton. One wonders how much
habit may be a part of the situa-
ton where pedestrians walk on the
highways. It seems entirely rea-
sonable to assume from a study Of
cases where men are struck when
on the road that they walk in
about the same portion of the
highway night after night, going
home from work or to meet some
regular engagement, thereby be-
coming habituated to a certain
part, perhaps on the shoulders of
the road. Because cars seem to
pass them with sufficient clearance
under ordinary conditions they
come to regard it as safe and then
walk in the same situation under
bad conditions which makes that
part of the highway unsafe. Hab-
it must enter into this and another
habit which is easily acquired but
which is often fatal to its posses
sor is to assume that the car oper-
ator sees him. When a car op-
orator sees a pedestrian walking
along the side Of the road and
notes that the pedestrian is actual
ly aware of the car he recognizes
that here is an unusual character
"a man who actually knows the
dangers of the road to himself and
who is taking his own precautions
rather than relying on the operator
to take them for him. There is
altogether too much of that in pc
destrianism. Maybe there is an
old-fashioned idea on the part of
some who sem to say, We'll, I
have as much right on the road as
anybody else and I am going to in
sist upon it." Life may be short
for these people. 1t is apt to be
snuffed out on the first occasion
when driving conditions are below
average. Mother Nature often
protects the lives of some of her
animals by changing their colors
during certain seasons to blend
with the environment, thereby
rendering them less susceptible to
attacks from their enemies. "Safe-
ty Sally" wonders if Nature will
ever reserve this procedure and
endow pedestrians with the ability
to become Illuminated at night
similar to fire-f1ies in order to in
dicate their positions to automo-
bilists.

THE FARMERS STRIKE CRAZE

When prices are down to the lowest points, and there are claims
of over-production, the most rational thing the producers of the cheap
products can do is not seH-just so far as that course is feasible and
possible for them. To organize and sign up for that purpose is sane,
logical and calculated to bring relief If even fifty per cent of the
farmers were signed up for a holding, non-selling strike they would
achieve a great victory. The public would call them smart
To attempt at a few places in a few states, by bodily force or
force of arms to compel people to adopt a idea; and to destroy the
property of others, is neither sane, logical or calculated to bring any
thing but the opposite of the result desired. Farmers strikes that
employ force and defy law will build up prejudice against producers
and do a vast amount of damage to the farmers thoroughly just cause
Reasonable, levelheaded people cannot be expected to justify or toll
crate such hysterical actions.

against the grating Of officials.
They could hold weekly or monthly

serve to bring out and develop, as
no institution we now possess does,
new leaders, especially among the
young citizens, in every community.
One great aid to crime in Amer
lea is the veil Of anonymity which
covers the individual. In any army,
every man is accounted for. His
name, rank, regiment, and where
abouts are known. If he is wanted,
we know where to find him. In
America we have no Identification.
Men can move from city to city,
changing their names as they would
their coats. They can register as
they please at any hotel, with no
questions asked. 1t is a pleasant,
easy-going custom, but it puts an in
superable barrier in the way Of the
police in the detection of crime. The
time has come when we must aban-
don the right to anonymity, as en-
lightened European countries have
done.
Every resident Of u country
should have an Identification card,
a small passport with photograph
attached. Change Of permanent res
idence should be reported to the po-
lice. The card should be shown, if
necessary, upon registration at any
hotel, or on any other occasion when
demanded by the police. The PEN
alties for forging a card or disre-
garding regulations concerning 1t
should be heavy.
realize that the inconvenience of
the card Identification system would
be burdensome. But it would be
considerably less burdensome than
the breakdown of our system for ap-
pretending criminals. The cards
would not be a cure-all, but they
would be a great help. No honest
man could object to q plan which
would materially aid in rounding up
criminals.
Just as the depression has finally
opened our eyes to the magnitude
of our crime problem, so has 1t
brought home to us the very extrav-
agant activities of unwise politi-
clans during our prosperity orgy.
