HERES A SOLUTION

THE traffic division OF the Indianapolis po-
Il lice department is making an effort to
block the large number Of traffic law viola
lions and the evil which is linked with them
sticker fixing.
Unless sticker fixing can be erased. efforts
10 enforce the city's traffic ordinance would
be fruitless. ANY police officer who. doing his
duty. distributes several tickets daily for law
violations naturally should expect results. No
doubt it would be disheartening for a
conscientious officer TO find that his every
effort to maintain law md order is being
skirt1d by politicians and their friends.
a policeman could not be blamed, after ex-
perienccS Of this type. 70 abandon his attempts
on The theory that What's the use?'
Stickers could not be fixed unless the prac-
tice is conGoned by our public officials, prose-
cutting authorities and political lights.
The knowledge that fixing is general and
can be had for a cigar or a drink has spread
TO such degree that many law violators now

Chief Nike AIOrrissey and Captain Lewis

MEASURE OF EDUCATION

HARRY L. HOPKINS federal emergency
l. L relief administrator, has been offering
federal funds to various colleges to help
finance the education of poor youths who
would not otherwise be able to continue their
studies; and to his vexed surprise he has found
several privately endowed eastern colleges re-
fusing to take the money, on the ground that
the country already has more college-trained
men than it can use
This, OF course, is perfectly true; but Mr..
Hopkins properly replies that it is a great in
justice to reduce the number of college stu
dents solely on q financial basis.
Why in the world" he asks. should we
assume, merely because some people happen
to have money, that they are the only ones
who should have a higher education?"
Why, indeed? We may need an "aristocracy
Of brains" in this country; but entrance into
it should be based on brains, and not on the
applicants ability TO finance his way through
college without outside help.

BY a Times Reader.
Some time ago, I was asked to
join a motor club. I said I would
if the club would get the members
together and go to city hall and
demand that the laws be enforced.
I was told that wouldn't do-of
course not, as that would catch
the worst breakers of the law, Che
BIG fellows.
What is the good of knocking
the police when the safety board
does not pay any attention when
you tell them about a dangerous
condition which it could fix but
hasn't.
Tenth street and Sherman drive
had a bad stop and go signal in
the middle of the street but the
light was in operation all night.
Corner lights were installed but
the lights were not operated all
night, making it more dangerous
than before. If that is what you
call safety, I don't see it. I know
it's a stop corner, whether lights
are on or off, but do others? They
don't. This morning when max
ing stop, a truck went by me

what 1 see every morning. Gro

board know about such conditions

the situation over and look wise on

from another crank"
I am in position to see hundreds
of cars pass a bad location, and
there have been seventeen acct
dents at that point in the last
year, but there is not sign Of any
kind to show it is dangerous.
Ninety-fve per cent of the drivers
blow borns but do not reduce
speed.
The police are blamed when
their hands are tied. Maybe their
judgment and talk at times won't
agree with our views, but if the
board, mayor or chief would put
a lot Of them in plain clothes and
tell them to arrest and send down
in the wagon traffic violators and
if the policemen were caught
showing any favors to either men
or women, there is no question
but things would be better. But
what a noise we would hear.
Safety zonel What a farce.
Why not name it, Gateway to
heaven or the other place"
BY the way, Mr.. Editor, is there
law that says the driver at your
right has the right of way regard
less of all other things?
If there is any such law, why
don't you print it in big letters in
every issue of The Times, so
people would learn about it, and
then there could be no excuse as
to who was right.
