SLAUGHTER ON THE HIGHWAYS

Today'S morning newspapers record
story dealing with motor car traffic that IS
similar to each weekend story nowadays
of accidents and death on the highways.
For the weekend the records show Io9
persons killed on the highways OF the
United States; but this record probably Is
not complete, and the number will mount
still higher. Each week for many weeks
similar records have been made on the
highways. The number of accidents and
deaths is forging ahead Of last year, in the
nation and in North Carolina. The figures
for the past weekend are summed up by
the press associations as follows:
Partial fatality lists in 80 states, which also had
scores injured, We're:
Michigan and Pennsylvania, each; New York,
s: Missouri, s; California, Illinois, Ohio, and
Washington each; Louisiana and Tennessee,
each: Massachusetts,, Oklahoma Florida and
Texas, 4 each; Alabama, Georgia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Virginia, 3 each Kan
sas 2; and Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa. Minnesota,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, l each.
Among the fatalities of the past week
end was the death of Sidney Smith, the
cartoonist, creator of "The Gumps'', who
was killed in an automobile collision in Hi
nois. The foregoing record of fatalities in
thirty States shows three deaths in North
Carolina. In this State fatalities and in,
juries in automobile accidents are running
far ahead of last year. By the end of the
year the number of dead in this State viii
almost equal the number of soldiers in a
regiment of the army; and if North Caro-
lima was engaged in a war, the chances are
that the destruction of human life thereby
would be little more than that wrought on
struction, the motor car.

THE RED LANTERN ACROSS THE TRACK

Former Budget Director Douglas is proving him.
self thorn in the flesh of some admnistratonlsts

tional treasury.
The latest rebuke of Mr. Douglas is especially
captious
He finds in the most recent budgetary pronounce
ment no form of auditing which would indicate d
change of policy the part of administration IN
solar as its spending purposes are concerned.
This is all the more cutting in view of statements,
even emanating from the President that the admin

with the end in view of decreasing expenditures and
thus bringing about readjustments in the treasury
Mr. Douglas was Democrat and Mr.. Roosevelts
budget director.
He may still be Democrat, but he is one of that
independent type of mind whose technical knowl-
edge OF his particular function will not allow
him to truckle or to indulge in phantom or make

He is, in the meantime very much alarmed oven

over its present one-sidedness as to revenues ano
Indebtedness and deficits and the continued spend
ing policies of the administration.
In this respect he is not alone.
Tens of thousands of other Democrats, some a;
prominent as Mr.. Douglas has been, others ever
more prominent and a host not quite either, arc
likewise uneasy as to present-day trends.
They feel that it is the interest not only of the
Democratic party to which they want to be faith
full, that the budget be brought more nearly into
rational alignment, but that beyond this, it is
to the saving interest of the integrity of the gov
eminent itself that such be accomplished

'Gimme Mine, Mr.. Legislator"
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

1t is a deplorable fact that all

session is is constantly under
pressure from groups composed Of

lations which will give those
groups the edge over everybody.

this unChristain, undemoncratic
and unsocial practise is carried
on, shows how callous we have all
become to such methods.

Now watch ont for what will
happen if this war situation grows
worse. Already the howl is going
up from certain quarters that the
neutral announcements of Presi-

commerce. Do you get that? The
safety Of the whole world is in
danger! The safety Of this entire
nation is in danger-yet men are
squawking about something being
harmful to commerce. There are
men in this country who would
incite world war to help their
own businesses. There are more
men who would welcome a world
war to help their businesses. And
there are still more who would
risk plunging this nation and the
rest of the world into bloody con-
flict to help their own businesses.

VTASHINGTON.-If the late Sen.

be an uncomfortable one for Sem

For a senator from New Mexico

 RECOVERY AHEAD
Commissioner Stresses Economic Importance of
 Insurance at Newtown

Newtown, November 1T think that sometimes the ordinary citizen does not appreciate the tremendous stake which insurance companies, and the life insurance companies In particular, have in the general eco- homie welfare of the country" said Commissioner John 0. Blackall, c guest speaker at the Newtown Chamber of Commerce, Thursday evening. while I appreciate that figures sometimes are tedious, the fact remains that life insurance companies o fthe United States have invested S4,500, 900, 900 in mortgage loans; they have loaned to their own policyholders 0,0o0,0 ,0o0; they have invested in United tSates Government bonds and securities $3,300, ,000, ,000; they have invested in bonds of oil kinds in railroads S2,- 600,000,000; they have invested in public utility bonds and preferred stocks approximately s2,000, ,000 0o0; and they have other legal invest ments of several hundred million dollars.
 By way of real estate owned; by way of collateral loans and by way of deferred premiums they have commitments amounting to s2,000,- 100000. Summing 1t all up they have as trustees for their policy holders an investment of $i8, ,000, ,000,- 900 or more In this country of ours. This means that over the period of the depression the investments of the insurance companies, and you must add to these figures the tree mendous investments of the fire, casualty and surety companies, have been Q sheet anchor in times ot depression.
 Tt is for this reason that the en- tire business of insurance Is sur- charged with public interest, and 1t is for this reason that the tSate of Connecticut and other states are jealous to see that the insurance laws are properly enforced and that the rights of the public are not Jeopardized.
 My COkAtttGtc WAbAA 4kAoukaA SA- ecutives and others influential in the insurance field in the past sev- eral months have led me to believe that without question the economic turn has already taken place in the United tSates, and that the various Improvements about which we read are not flashes in the pan. but are substantial turns for the better which give every evidence of being permanent in character. Prosperity will not come over night, but 1t will not be too long delayed. am op- timistic over the future of this coun- try of ours and I am optimistic particularly over the fact that the institution of insurance will have had no small part in the accelera- ton of the return of days that we have long anticipated"
