NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BEER AND AUTOMOBILES

This years record for automobile fatalities In
Massachusetts is not encouraging. The total up TO
Friday of last week was PAT deaths, compared 20
235 in the corresponding period of 1882. The in
crease is even more significant when it is recalled
that registration and gasoline consumption figures
are substantially below those of last year In other
words, a smaller number of on the road are
killing larger number of people, and this despite
all the progress made in recent years in improving
highways, eliminating danger points, and installing
elaborate safety devices. More and more it be-
comes clear that automobiles roads or weather
rarely cause accidents. 1t is the person at the
wheel who is almost always completely and eXclu-
sively to blame.
Now, to add TO his chances of driving careless
ly and ndifferently, comes the legal sale OF beer
To assume that few persons will operate car
after they have consumed this Notwithstanding
beverage" is, of course, expecting too much of hui
man nature. On the contrary, many people will
drive after drinking, and the dangers of the road
will be increased to the extent that they think the
public at large will tolerate indiscretions on their
part 1t is therefore, important that police, judges
and iuries should make them understand tina:
nothing short of the most cautious driving will be
endured.
If we begin by making allowances" for beer
drinkers, we shall probably see our weekly death
list steadily mounting. To forestall such a trag-
edy, it should be generally understood that in the
event of an accident the drinking of beer will BE-
considered as serious evidence against motorist.

INDEPENDENT ANDoRRA

When Charlemagne made his campaign against
the MoorS of Spain in the last half OF the 18th
century he found a valiant group of people in the
valley Of the Pyrenees who gave him valuable sup
port. In token of his appreciation of their services
he gave them their independence and the little re-
public of AndOrra has existed 655 years. There
was string tied to its independence by the great
emperor who retained certain authority for France
and the Spanish Catholic bishop of Urgel. That
authority permitted France and the bishop each 20
appoint a magistrate and a civil judge alternately
The population of the republic is little more than
5 5000 and its area is 1911 square miles. An annual
tribute amounting to about $500 is paid to the
bishop Of Urgel and the French government. One
would say that Andorra enjoys practically COM
plete freedom. They had been free from outside
interference of a serious nature until 1881 when
their mountain retreat was invaded by band of
Spanish revoutionists. Since the days of Charlie
magne the Andorrans have been prepared for war,
though they have lived in peace, and military serV-
ice is compulsory between the ages Of Is and CO.
When this invasion took place the Andorrans
promptly modified and chased the Spaniards out
of their country
Now Andorra has filed a petition to the French
and Spanish governments to be granted complete
independence. Both countries are asked to re-
nounce their sovereignty and discontinue the trb-
ute Andorra pays. A cocky little people these who
dance on top of the Pyrenees! They have right
to be so. Did they not help to save the army. Of
the great Charlemagne when he withdrew from
Spain and his guard was cut to pieces at the
pass of Roncesvalles? And have they not shown
their ability to govern themselves through their
council of "a members selected by heads of FAM
lies? And have they not remained independent
more than five centuries while and political
disturbances changed the map and governments Of
Europe many times? Were they not recognized
by the great Napoleon who granted them a con-
stituton confirming the republic Of 1906? What
other people have greater right to absolute free
dom, the right to paddle their own canoe?-Spar-

WASHINGTON, April IT. (UP).
The number of school teachers in
the country has decreased pa per
cent, while enrolment in the ma
tons schools has increased 1.3
per cent, according to a study
made by the office Of education
Of the interior department.
The study included reports Of
more than 5000 school superin-
tendents in cities having a popu-
lation of $500 OF more.
More than so per cent Of the
cities reported a decrease IN the
number of teachers per pupil In
all grades of schools. The ma
ioritv of reports also showed Il
decrease in the budgets for teach
er salaries, in some eases the de-
crease running as high as DO per
cent
Ninety-one cities showed plans
for q shorter term because OF
lack Of money to run the usual
length Of time. Textbook pur.
chases decreased an average OF

Another item was that the CAPT
tai outlay for schools had been
lowered SIG per cent during the
past two years.

INITIATION ISN'T A CURE-ALL
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

We Americans seem to be an incurably
hopeful people. And there are times when
our excessive optimism is apt to flip around
between our ankles and trip us up.
For some reason the nations departure
from the gold standard has raised a new
crop of hopes. To a certain extent these
hopes are justified. We are getting bold
and decisive action, at least; for better or
for worse we are on the move, and there
is every indication that the rise in price Of
commodities and basic securities will have
a deeply beneficial effect on the life of the
country.
But we shall simply nullify these gains
if we take it for granted that the con-
trolled initiation plan is going to solve all
of our troubles. .- ..
Senator Thomas, commenting on the
proposed issuance of United States notes
to retire. government bonds, remarked;
"If this amendment goes into the farm
bill It becomes the chief element. The rest
of the bill will be forgotten. Initiation in
itself will be farm relief and bank relief.
In my Judgment this amendment solves
every problem we have so far as a money
policy can solve them
This statement is probably true enough
provided that it's final words are always
remembered. The new scheme will solve
our problems so far as a money policy
can solve them" but it must not be forgot
ten that some of them cannot be solved by
a money problem, and that the reform and
recovery program previously outlined by
the administration still needs to be pushed
ahead.
