Congress Wants Rest, But So Do
We ALI

II "a q very hot day in the spot where this article Is
being written The Thermometer stands at % mt
side and 1t Is going to 20 higher pretty soon. There
Isn't any wind. and II there were it would be a hot
one. Like everyone else who Is at work, the writer
feels warm and uncomfortable.
AL OF this Is put down, not In the belief that the
general public Is especially interested in working con-
ditions In newspaper offices. but because IL somehow
E q gentle reminder that our congressman and SEN
ators are also suffering from the heat.
washington dispatches are full Of sad details about
the weather In the capital. We read that congression-
hl nerves and tempers are getting all warped out Of
shape with the heat, that a senatorial medical ex-
pert is shaking his head sadly over the possible re-
suits. and that congress as a whole wants to wind
everything up quickly and get home.
IL Ia easy to sympathize with anyone who Is too
warm And yet 1t Is no more than fair to rise and
remark that congressman are not the only people in
that p-redicament these days
After all. the capitol building Is nicely cooled. Con-
sressmen may have been working steadily ever since
January - but what OF it? Joe Doakes, back home,
has been working steadily ever since the fall Of 1921
and he hasn't had a spacious. ar-cooled chamber
TO work in. either, nor does he drag down any $4,000
. year for his pains.
The kitchen OF a big bakery Is not q cool place these
days; neither is a railroad roundhouse, nor q gaso-
line filling station on O sun baked corner, nor the
operators corner of q steam shovel, nor the space be-
hind the counter In q 5-and-10. nor a hundred other
places where the constituents OF congressman earn
their daily bread
Congress may find Washington hot. So do all the
rest of LIS find the places where we work. 1t would be
nice II we could suddenly vote ourselves a vacation,
20 run until the first OF January; but we can't do 1t.
and 1t is O little bit hard to work up very much sym
pathy over the plight OF the legislators.
To put it more concisely, these walls about the
Eufferings OF congress are a pain In the neck. Our so
Ions aren't suffering from the heat half as much as the
rest Of US are. AS a matter Of fact. they have 1t pretty
soft
And SO. II they have work to do AS apparently
they have-it would be q fine thing II they would
buckle down and do it, without quite so much self
pity. Compared with the overwhelming majority Of
their constituents. congressman lead a pretty easy life.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WILL GET RESULTS

According to newspaper accounts up IN Nofth
Carolina the Tar Heel state has adopted ABOUT as
drastic drivers license law as any we have heafd
of so far And it is going to be just too pad 1or
ANYBODY up there who doesn't watch his step when
at the steering wheel.
Getting the drivers license, the report goes,
will not be such difficult matter but being able
to keep it IS where the trouble starts. South Caro-
lima has only one offense for which driver can be
deprived of a license, and that only after being
tried and convicted.
The North Carolina law, just going into effect,
can deprive driver of his permit for half Dozen
or more offenses, driving while drunk, reckless
driving whether drunk or sober, Being at fault IN
a Smash-up, and several other causes.
About the most drastic part of the law is requlr-
ing the driver to hand over his license when &C
cused of an offense, thereby depriving him of the
use of his automobile until his case has been dis
posed Of If found guilty, it means his license will
be suspended for whole year, but if the court de-
cares him innocent the license is Immediately re-
turned to him.
This clause in the license law was placed there
to discourage the defendant from asking for de-
lays, and using subterfuges to keep his case from
being tried as long as possible. He knows that the
longer he delays coming to trial, the longer he will
be deprived of his driving permit, it will be a
safe bet that practically every offender is going to
demand speedy trial
Another clause, which will have a tendency to
make driver behave himself when away from
home, automatically deprives him of his license if
he is convicted in any other state of any offense
coming under the North Carolina law. If, for in
stance, North Carolnian is found guilty of reck-
less driving while in South Carolina, his driving
permit is taken away from him, automatically in
North Carolina, for whole year. ..-.
Highway patrolmen, and officers throughout the
state are required to take up mans license when
arrested. They have no alternative.
The working of the North Carolina law will
be watched with much interest here to see what
effect it will have in reducing the fast increasing
road accidents and fatalites.-Anderson Is. c.
