interest. Perhaps q single fine does
stop that particular motorist who hap
pens tc be caught. But for every one
caught and taken to court-and twelve

the other day failed to appear-there
are numerous others who break the
light and stop rules and get away with
it, because there ere no policemen at
hand to arrest them.
The taking of chances at the corners
is the bane of present-day traffic con-
ditions. The driver who Is in hurry
or has the bad habit of speed whether
he is in a hurry or not takes double
chances at the corners. First Is the
chance of not hitting anybody, and
second Is the chance of not being
caught. Sooner or later he loses one
or both Of these chances. Some day
he hits another driver or a pedestrian.
Some day, when he gets by without
hitting anybody, he will be caught by
a traffic officer. 1t IS only question
of time. Meanwhile the possibility of
small fine. five or ten dollars, does not
deter him from taking these risks.
The driver who violates the red" at
crossing is potential slayer. The
fact that the crossing is clear is no
justification or excuse for his dasfing
through against the light. The street
maybe empty of all traffic in both di-
rections save for himself and yet there
is danger in breaking through the light
danger to his habit of safety. His
judgment is not the proper criterion
of his conduct He simply must obey
the signal even If there is not another
car in sight, and the court should 60

pernicious practice of violating the sig

SMITH DEMANDS
RASKOB Be PAID
Urges Party to Rid Itself of

NEW YORK, May ALFRED E.
Smith has called upon the Demo-
cratic party to rid itself of the
financial obligation to John j.
Raskob. which the party has in
CURED since its defeat of four years
ago. Raskob was selected by Smith
as his national chairman during the
1928 campaign.
Smith based his appeal on the
ground not only that the party
should pay Raskob approximately
5000 which it still owes him,
but that it should free itself from
obligation to any one individual.
He made only one reference to
mis- present campaign for a second
nomination. That was a denial of
reports that the proposed Demo-
cratic victory campaign fund CT ST.
100000 would be used for any one
candidate
His demand that the Democratic
party relieve itself of the financial
obligation placed Smith on record
as agreeing with the severest critics
of himself and Raskob who have
revolted against the "Raskob
mortgage"

BY striking out the estate deval-

ed about $4,000, 900 revenue, and
a. the same time opened the way
for many law suits involving large
estates.
The devaluation provision would
have permitted such estates to pay.
not on the value OF the estate at
the time of death as now provided.
but on the value eighteen months
after death. 1t would have affected
about 10000 estates.
