GETTING INTO MORE TROUBLE

The post office department seems to have pc
culiar penchant for going out Of its way to invite
trouble.
Several years ago some enterpris;ng manufac-
turer induced the department officials to "approve
a certain type and size of letter boxes for rural
delivery purposes.
Certain inspectors-and some folks unkind
enough to think they got a rakeof-took it upon
themselves to try to compel every householder on
a rural delivery route to install box Of the "ap-
proved sort.
Farmers with homemade mail boxes, even tho
they were perfectly safe, efficient and convenient
were ordered to remove them and install the "ap-
proved sort.
There was great hue and cry in the agricul
tural journals and the country newspapers.
The assistant postmaster general in charge tried
to buck the storm, but finally gave in
Now we read that Postmaster General Farley
himself has 'ruled against the of letter boxes
or even letter slots in doors Of homes as recepta
cles for such maiable matter as statements of &C
counts, sales bills advertising circulars, and the
like"
And Carriers were instructed to remove from
letter boxes and other receptacles mailable matter
on which no postage has been paid and carry 1t to
the post office to be held for postage"
This looks a good deal like just another over
Jealous attempt to enforce government monopoly.
One wonders however, how the letter carriers
are going about it to remove such matter from
private mail boxes legally, whether locked or not,
and especially how they going behind the de
ter slots in doors of homes."-Rock Hill Is. c.

NOW LET US RESTRAIN THE
DRUNKEN DRIVER
CBY BRUCE CATION

Every time an automobile gets into
smash-up these days, the police begin their
investigation by asking, "Was the driver
drunk"
And that question, buzzing through the
air with monotonous frequency, points to
an angle of the repeal business that is 60
inc to need whole lot of thought.
Maybe it isn't really connected with re-
peal at ALL We had drunken drivers under
prohibition, Heaven knows, and there are
plenty of people who will tell you that &C
tual consumption of strong waters is III
creasing very little. if at all, with passing
of the dry laws But that part really
doesn't make much difference%
The point is that we never yet have ham
died the problem of the drunken driver
with anything like intelligence; and, in
theory at least, the problem has become
more pressing now that the sale of liquor
is legal
Everyone over the mental age of seven
years knows perfectly we'll that drunken
man has no business driving an automobile.
1t is equally a part of common knowledge
that drunken people do drive autos every
day and every night and that so far we
haven't found any very efficient way Of
keeping them from doing so.
We need to tackle the problem along
two lines.
First, we need to build up public SEN
timent that condemns drunken driving I'M
eGuivOcally and sternly. We need to rec
ognize the plain fact that drunk behind
the wheel of car is as much menace to
public safety as a maniac with meat AK.
The chap who gets stiff and then climbs
gaiIy into his car to drive home isn't a
charming fellow who does amusing things
he is a potential killer, and we need a pub
lie opinion that will tell him so without
hesitation.
Second, we need tighter laws to deal
with the offense, and far Stricter enforce
ment of them than most of our laws get.
The penalty for driving while intoxicated
ought to be heavy enough to make even
the most care-free tippler pause; and il
ought to be applied without any ifs, ands,
or butts.
As we were reminded by the prohibi-
tionists inthe old days, gasoline and alec
ho make disastrous mixture. It's high
time that we found some way of squelch-
ing the crack-brains who persist in trying
to use it.

INrEMpERANcE OUT OF JOINT NOW

Wholly aside from the moral aspect intempec-
ance in drinking intoxicating liquor is out of keep
ing with the times. Science and invention have
marched forward to such eminences of achieve
met and such intricate nstrumentalities of achieve
ment that men must be sober to cope with the
problems of this age.
1t requires sermon on morals to convince any
reasonable person that the railroads of the United
States cannot be operated by drunken men. 1t is
not a question of morals, but question of
public safety to have drunken drivers of automO-
biles on the streets and highways of this State and
other States of the Union.
The imperative demands for sobriety in operat-
ing essential utilities and in carrying the intri-
cate operations of modern machinery will auto
matically force greater measure of temperance.

LEAVE 1T ALONE

The Hon. jim Farley, postmaster-general and
chief politician of the administration, has been
devoting good deal of attention to the problem
of Michigan. Michigan is supposed to be one Of
the pivotal states, and the popular Republican
Senator Arthur Vandenberg has to run for re-elec-
ton next fall. Therefore it would please Mr.. Far
ley to see him defeated. 1t is reported that he has
already picked Democratic opponent Emil Hurja,
and may take part in the fight himself.
The news that Jim is worrying about Michigan
has an ominous sound to wise Democrats. For
with Jim. action always follows worry. When h.
worries about an election he cannot resist entering
the fight himself. And when Jim enters fight,
experience shows that the Democratic chances are
not improved Jim entered the repeal fight in Ten
nessee, and Tennessee ratified repeal by margin
so small that 20" couldn't split it with razor
blade. jim entered the fight in North Carolina,
and repeal just didn't get ratified jim entered the
New York mayoraty fight, and LaGuardia Won

CRITICISM NOT VERY SOUND

Governor Ehringhaus has been criticised rather
severely in quarters because he did not en-
tend the time for paying auto taxes. This seems
rather unfortunate just after the governor made
such hit with the tobacco farmers. Some may
think that his senatorial chances, if he had any,
have been dimmed. Be that it may we do not
that he did any thing deserving criticism The
governor of the state has authority to
suspend an act of the general assembly than any
other citizen has far we know. The law is
on the books and ought to be enforced The trou-
bic in this state is lax law enforcement rather
than too great severity in doing it. 1t might be a
good idea to make January the 10th the last day
of grace for licenses though to give people
chance to recover from Christmas expenditures.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
RUNNING TRUE TO FORM

No reader of daily papers in large cities fails to
note that wholesale and retail liquor dealers are
running true to form. A year ago they were all
assuring theseountry that repeal of national pro-
hibtion would fin the Golfers of the public treasury
and insure large reductions in all characters OF
taxation. Undoubtedly many people voted to re-
peal the 18th Amendment because of the revenue
argument.
How is it now that people have voted for repeal
to shift taxes from themselves to liquor manufac-
turers and dealers The dealers now threaten
ing the federal government by this ultmatum: 'lf
taxes are high bootleggers and moonshining will
continue. Give low tax submit to a continual
ton of illegal making and selling of intoxicants."
The truth is that from the beginning the liquor
business has been lawless and disreputabe. This

WILL FORTIFY
BELGIAN line
Steel And Concrete Fort
resses Will Be Placed
On German Front
By SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 15.-UP).-Bel-
GUM is following France and,
mindful Of the invasion of 1914,
soon will rest more securely be
hind a formidable wall Of con-
crete and steel facing Germany.
Agitation has been continuous
in Belgium for modern fortresscs,
similar to the almost impossible
chain that now protects France,
and a definite plan has been az
copied, which is considered the
most impregnable in Europe.
DEFENSE PLANS DISCUSSED
Inasmuch as the defcnses Of
both France and Belgium are al
most interdependent, in the event
of invasion from Germany, ac-
cords were discussed between the
two countries since the tcrmina-
ton of the last war.
In 1921, France signed with
Belgium military defensive pact,
an the various treaties and
agreements concluded since never
have affected the validity Of this
original pact.
Altho a defensive accord had
been drawn up between Belgium
and France, it was not until 1880
that defense plans took shape.
Then the general staff found il
self facing two separate plans.
The first plan was that Of Gen
eral Gallet. and bore his name.
Gallet's plan was in case Of war
almost Immediately to evacuatc
the three Walloon provinces near
| the German frontier and retire
Systematically to Flanders.
The second plan, that Of Gen
erals Maglinse and Hellebaut,
called for complete defense OF
these frontier provinces and for
integral protection Of all Belgian
territory from any direction. The
larger plan of not abandoning
one-third of the country, natural
ly anticipated close cooperation

THE LAW IS ENFORCED

Cleveland county's usual quota of petty law
breaking has come to a sudden halt as a news
story in today's paper reports. Joe Wright, judge
of the recorders court had to try the first
part of this week. and the city and county officers
are having a virtual vacation. In fact lawbreak-
ing has dwindled to below so per cent of normal.
Since most of the arrests made in this county
for the violation of the prohibition laws the
reason behind these admirable facts was not hari
to find. 1t is simply that Judge Wright has been
handing down heavy sentences, acting in accord
with the dictates of his state Certain justice does
stop crime, as this little clinic has proved.-Cleve-
land Star.

with the French, according to the
treaty Of 1921.
In 1881, these two theories
were so violently agitating Be-
gium that one ministry fell, and
Premier Jaspard retired, having
tacitlv supported Gallet's plan.
The Renkin cabinet. which fol-
lowed voted 21O million francs
for defense and abandoned the
Gallct plan. This fund was spent
in the restoration of the forts CT
Namur and Liege ard in fortify-
ING the right bank Of the Meus9.
Various defense ministers sue
cceded each other in the Renkn
cabinet until the present minister,
Albert Deveze, was appointed;
then a definite defense policy was
cryStallized.
His first act was to create a
modern fort at Eybcn-Eymael on
the Albert Canal, east Of Liegc,
which today is the most fOrmlG-
able block against any movement

 q believe this notion is short sighted and that employe protec- tion would bring increases in eff ciency which would more than jus tify the reform" &
 Voluntary Contributions
 President Roosevelt, in his mes sage to Congress announcing the plans for the social program, said the funds necessary to provide so- cial insurance Unemployment in surance and old age pensions) should be raised by contribution rather than by an increase in gen. eral taxation.
 Proposals for compulsory unem- ployment insurance of various kinds have been made to Congress and to State Legislatures. The two systems which probably are the most widely discussed are the American or Wisconsin plan which goes into effect in that state on July and the European or Ohio plan which was adopted by one House of the Ohio Legislature a year ago. a
 Under the Wisconsin plan each employer established his own re- serve for his own employees. Ev- cry employer who comes under the act shall contribute per cent of his payroll to this unemployment reserve fund held in the State Treasury until the fund contains $55 for each employee and after that per cent until it equals $75.
 Workers Benefits
 So long as the employer keeps the fund at this level he need make no more contributions to it but if he lays off workers they will have right to draw bene- fits ranging from $5 to $1o week for 10 weeks and he then will have
 
 to resume his contributions.
 The European, or, Ohio system, is based on a state wide pooling of risks and premiums and calls for contributions by both employers and employees. It would require employers to pay a 2 per cent premium on their payrolls and em- ployees to pay a l per cent pre- mium on their pay. After the plan had been in effect one year, it would provide benefits amounting to 50 per cent of a former work CTS wages but not more than $15 a week for no longer than Is weeks.
