HOW TO COURT DISASTER

Hope springs etefnal-and SO does the belief that a
community, by setting up a fire insurance fund to protect
municipal property, can save its residents money and
make a profit for the city.
AS q matter Of fact, city insurance funds have usual
ly demonstrated that there's no better way Of counting
economic disaster. Some years ago, for example, Mont
real set up a fund-and suffered a fire loss of 81 $4,000
with but $780, 900 on hand with which to pay losses. The
state of Minnesota carried its own insurance and created
a fund for the purpose. There was $25, 1000 in the till when
the teachers college at Mankato burned, the loss being
S500,OO0. Then, with the fund in the red, another college
at Moorhead was ~dstroyed to the tune Of S750,OOO. A
classic example of the danger implicit in self-insurance
is the Buffalo armory fire, where the loss was $1,000 ,0O0-
enough, according to expert estimate, to pay insurance at
private company rates for 129 years!
Perhaps the greatest of all arguments against self
insurance is that less than two per cent of the private
property of the country is so protected. Thousands of
private corporations have larger investments at stake
than most towns Many Of them, such as railways, chain
stores and the like, have their property widely scattered
about the country, SO that a single fire, no matter how
great, could destroy but a small percentage Of it, where
one fire can entirely wipe out a town. These great bust
nesses insure their holdings precisely as does the individ-
ual who OWNS a home-with a private insurance COM
pany.
The American fire insurance industry offers absolute
protection and safety-and it charges a very modest price
for it. The insurance buyer, whether a person, O corpor-
alton or a town, gets full value and then some for the
money spent.

DEATH ON THE RADIATOR

About one out Of every ten Of the automobiles that
use the public streets and highways, should wear as an
emblem a large, staring deaths head.
1t wouldn't be a pretty sight. But it would be an
accurate symbol. Ten per cent Of motorists are response
BILE for our gigantic death and injury toll. Not oil of them,
Of course, have an accident every year. But they all take
chances. They are irresponsible or incompetent or con-
Centrally careless. They drive cars with defective breaks
and steering mechanisms and poor lights. They cut in
and out OF traffic, missing oncoming cars by an eyelash
and feeling a thrill of achievement while doing it. They
pass on hills and curves, and regard even the most basic
and sensible traffic laws as being inimical obstacles which
should be avoided whenever possible. They drive at high
speeds when road and traffic conditions make it exceed
ingly dangerous.
And-every year-they leave behind them 10000
corpses and hundreds Of thousands Of injured persons
whose sole ofense was that they happened to be present
when the recklss driver was taking one of the chances he
didn't get away with.
Yes, there should be the emblem Of death on a long
line of automobiles which otherwise look no different than
any other cars Of their kind. This suggestion may make
some of the reckless dribers think twice before running a
risk the next time.

PRIVATE ENTERPRIsE SCORES AGAIN

The Union Pacific Railroad started something new
In transportation with its ~streamlne, three car train. Al
ways a pioneer, this railroad has set a pace that will revo-
lutionize passenger transportation in the United States.
The fastest trains now take 76 hocrs from coast to
coast. This new type train can probably cover the dis
lance in 81 hours, or less, as roadbeds are improved.
From the standpoint of comfort, these new trains
will surpass anything ever before offered to the traveller.
From the standpoint Of safety, they are following modern
automotive methods. Center Of gravity will be 20 per
cent lower than in old railroad cars, putting the weight
nearer the ground where it ought to be. This will give
better balance, less sway when taking the curves and
cause the cars to 'hug the rails"
just as tn modern automobile combines greater safe
ty with greater speed, SO will these trains bring a new day
in railroad transportation.

"In February, 1909, in connection
whit the centennial of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln, fifty-four promi-
nent American citizenes men and wo-
men, white and colored, issued a call
for a conference on the Negro to take
stock Of the nations progress since
1865, to ascertain how far it had
lived up to the obligations imposed
upon it BY the Emancipation Procla-
nation. How far" the question was
asked, "has it gone in assuring to
each and every citizen, irrespective Of
color, the equality Of opportunity and
equality before the law which under
lie our American institutions and are
guaranteed by the Constitution ?"
The conference met, and out of it
grew the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
born because of the belief that eff Mr..
Lincoln could revisit this country in
the flesh, he would be d~isheartened
and discouraged"
Since that time the Association
has been inseparably connected with
the rise and the development Of the
colored people Of the United States
And nov in 1884 it celebrates its first
quarter century with a score Of the
original signers Of the call still alive
It has achieved great things, and

A FORTY YEAR OLD PROPHECY
FULFILLED

In a recent editorial, the Portland
Morning Oregonian quotes a predic-
ton made by Justice Brewer Of the
United States Supreme Court soon
after that body had declared the in
come tax law of 1894 unconstitution-
al. The Justice made a commence
ment address on the subject, and in
giving it to a young editor for pub
LEGATION, said:
"We shall probably have an in
come tax. They will amend the con-
stitution so as to permit it. None Of
US are very long remembered, but if
| should be remembered at all / should
like to be remembered for nv posi-
ton on this question. Let me indulge
in a little prophesying, which ID said
to be a dangerous business. We shall
have, as | remarked, an income tax.
1t will turn out to be the greatest in
centive to extravaganza the world
has ever seen. The boys on Capitol
Hill will think hat they can put the
screws on a comparatively few with
out endangering their popularity, and
they will increase the pressure and
squeeze until there is nothing left
to squeeze"

/ slave states in the first decade Of the
century. For twenty-five years the
Negroes of America have known that
there was a fearless militant organ
ization ready to fight for them at any
time in the maintenance Of such
rights and privileges as they have,
and for the winning Of those that are
denied them. For years it has waged
war upon %lynching; in war and in
peace it has sought equal opportun-
tiles for Negroes in the industrial,
the military, and the intellectual life
Of the country.
Innumerable times it has plead the
caGsee of the blacks and of the whites,
too, before the Departments of the
government in Washington, and in
the White House itself. BY day and
by night it has sought to get the facts
as to the conditions of the Negroes in
America before the country that JUS

liant leadership Of DR.. w. Z. 3. Du-
Bots, ever an inspiration to aspiring
youth. Against segregation, and Jim
Crowism, and the whole list Of social
injustices that inevitably accompany
race prejudice, it has made its pro-
test in the spirit of equality. and fra
ternity and liberty. Its leaders dur
ing all these years have been among
the most distinguished men and wo-
men of both races.
To-day the Association celebrates
its quarter-century by a call for the
redoubling of efforts to make the
work Of the Association more effect
i've and more telling. 1t starts its
second quarter century with a demo-
cratic appeal for the raising OF mon

Not a penny from every Negro, a
penny for every Negro,-twelye mil
lion Negroes, a hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. 1t needs money
for the full continuance of its work.
For while in the last twenty-five
years great progress has been made,
there are still ignorance and prejudice
and greed to be overcome. There is
still a determined effort to deprive
the Negro Of what he asks, which is
merely the right guaranteed to him
by the Constitution Of the country he
has loyalty served in every war. and

The Republicans call it gag rule
the Democrats, for the most part,
simply smile and say nothing. What
ever it Isl the Roosevelt Parliament
tary technique works.
A major test of Presidential power
came early in the House when Demo-
cratic leaders adopted a rule of pro-
cedure whereby no amendment could
be offered from the floor which would
affect the economy sections Of the
Independent Offices Bill, then under
consideration, or any other appropria-
tions measure that would appear
during the session. The rule was I'M
precedented-and it passed. There
we're heavy Democratic defections,
which resulted in Democratic leaders
working over the mavericks in their
party. Result of that was that a
move to recommit the rule was
slaughtered, 240 to AL
Most dramatic victory came on
January 20, when the Roosevelt de-
valuation bill swept through the
House by the colossal margin of $50
to 40. 1t is doubtful if any piece of
legislation of comparable Importance
ever carried so fast Debate was al
most entirely shut off. All opposi-
ton amendments shouted down. Doz-
ems of representatives who admit they
do not understand the present dollar
policy thoroughly, voted for it.
The measure has four specific
phases. First, the treasury is given
title to all Of the nations monetary
gold stock, including that held by
federal reserve banks:
Second, it fixes SO per cent of the
dollars present gold content as the
maximum of gold value after reval-
uation.
Third, it gives the Administration
a fund of $4,000, 00O, 900, obtained au-
tomatically from the added value of
the treasury's gold after d~evaluation
has taken place, with which to sta
bilize the foreign value of the dollar.
Fourth, it gives the treasury great
er power in issuing and floating gov
eminent securities, thus simplify
ing the great refinancing task that
confronts the federal government
now. The treasury is allowed to pur-
chase any type Of government secur-
ity with any other type, may sell is
sues privately without offering them
to the general public.
Main opposition to the bill is based
on the fear of putting so vast a pow
er in one mans hands-it obviously
makes Mr.. Roosevelt a monetary die
tator with hardly a restriction. Sup
porters of the New Deal claim that is
what the country wants; that it is es-
sential to recovery that the Presi-
dent be given free rein.

works activities and expansion in
private industry will absorb the A.
c00.0 600 now on CWA rolls. That will
still leave the problem so per cent
unsolred. General Johnson believes

said that changes would have to be
made gradually, in the light of in
dustry's financial ability to carry
larger payrolls. Hope is for an s.

good deal more interesting and inn
portant than documents Of the kind
usually are. Forecast was that pros
poets for employment and earnings
are considerably brighter, but that
one phase Of present recovery efforts
threatened initiation by fiat money
-endangers the whole show.
Four specific changes for the bet

a drop of Az hours in the average

spectators have a chance to gain
