DISARMAMENT BY
SUBTERFUGE"

Recently a bill making the pos
session of small arms a crime was
introduced in Congress. 1t was
badly defeated.
Now another bill has appeared
Its object, as the American Rifle
man expresses it, is disarmament
by subterfuge.' Under it an in
Idividual desiring to purchase a pis-
tol or revolver would have to OBJ
tain from the Internal Revenue Blu
reau. a permit form to which his
|fingerprints and photograph would
have to be attached. Rules for adj
ministering the law would be made
by the Commissioner of internal
Revenue-and there would be no
appeal whatsoever from his regula-
lions. He could restrict the sale
of small arms to whatever extent
he deemed desirable. In brief,
public policy in this important
ant matter would be entirely de-
pendent upon the views and whlms
of a single official.
This is simply one more example
of the ancient effort to disarm the
law-abiding public. on the grounds
that crime would thus be lessened.
Experience has shown precisely
the opposite-responsible officials
in New York have stated time and
again that its rigorous Sullivan law
has been an utter failure and has
helped. rather than hindered. the
criminal. Similar laws elsewhere
have had the same result.
What is needed is legislation that
will severely punish possession of a
gun by a person with a criminal
record, and that will increase the
penalty for crimes committed with
the aid of firearms. At this time
a multitude of publications and or
CARNATIONS and individuals are
seeking to prevent the passage OF
this new Congressional bill-know-
ing that to disarm the honest citi-
zen is to play into the hands of the
underworld.

NOT THE SOLUTION

| Those who are urging govern

a solution to our transportation
problem will find difficulty in OBJ

for so drastic-and expensive

If railroad service were ineffi-

government operation. But the
american railroads have provided
us with as certain, as fast, and as
comprehensive a transport system
as anywhere in the world. They are
making steady progress in promot-
ing safety to-day you are actually
safer on a railroad train than in
your own home); in increasing
freight and passenger train speeds;
in such innovations as the new
streamlined trains-as a matter OF
fact, they are lettering service in
every direction.

CRAMPING THE BANK HOLD
UP MAN

Cities and towns in the United
States of less than $4,000 popula-
ton need no longer fear that hold
up men will clean out the local
bank-if the little bankers are
willing to go along with the new
Bank Robbery Limitation Plan
recently put into effect by the
member companies of the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety I'm
derwriters. The plan does not
prevent hold-ups, but it does re-
duce the mount of money avail
able to the great and little Dillin-
gers to IS per cent of hat hereto
fore in sight.
After several years of investiga-
ton, the companies determined that
the small town bank seldom re-
quires more than IS per cen of its
cash on its counters for its routine
business. As long as the other IS
ptr cent is kept accessible there will
be no interference with business.
The delayed time lock helped to
work out a plan. This is an in
expensive device which enables the
banker to open his safe during
banking hours only, within IS min
utes or soma other prearrarged peri
cd after the time mechanism has
BEEN started. A hold-up takes from
three to five minutes on the aver
age. If IS per cent cash were or
a counter and IS per cent in I
vault where it would take time to
obtain, the criminal would find hi
trade much less attractive.
The idea was put into effect il
p middle western and southern
states in 1888. The experimen
was so successful that this year i
was spread to the remaining 2.
states.
As an illustration, of a bank tax
ing this form of insurance ha
$4,000 cash, it is permitted t
have $500 available on the coun
ter, the remaining $500 being il
a vault with a delayed time lock
If a depositor comes in with a larg
check, the bank starts the tim
lock to open a few minutes later
Once the money has been procure
the vault is again locked and tn
business goes on. Thre is a simila
ceremony at the opening of tn
bank in the morning and at nigh
when it is closed.
