COMMON SENSE
New Ulm Review

When one reads of an automobile
accident he usually maintains his in
terest long enough to determine the
ined the causes of SIG mishaps in this
state last year they found practically
all of them resulted from improper
action on the part of someone. In
other words, few of them could be
branded as accidents" They were
usually plain cases of downright neg
lect to use common sense.
For example, as the highway patrol
reported last week, about II per cent
of drivers involved were going too
fast or on the wrong side of the road.
Improper speed contributed to Al per
cent of all accidents and driving on
the wrong side came to 7.6. Fifty
per cent of the pedestrian deaths were
of persons walking on rOadways, while
more than one-third of the pedes-
TRANS killed by automobiles or trucks
we're struck because of their own neg
ligence.
Yet we Minnesotans have the gross
effrontery to term them accidents.
1t is apparent that 112 deaths are toe
many for one year. 1t is also APP
parent that when the death rate
jumps alarmingly from 1898. it is
time to do something about it.
Education seems to be the only re-
course-education plus proper tests
to determine the fitness of drivers
But until some steps can be taken ii
those directions it behooves every
man, woman and child to exercise
full measure of common sense. After
all, that simple procedure would hell
an awful lot.

BRITISH TAXES
1.-THE st. Paul Daily NewS)

zine 81 raul Ddlly NSWSJ
Attacking United States spending
policies before a St. Paul luncheon
club a few days ago. a speaker pointed
out that while our income tax prob
ably will be higher next year. that of
England will be lower.
This reduction will be made in
spite of heavily increased military
expenses" the speaker declared.
What the critic of American taxes
did not dwell ON, however, was the
existing income tax rates in the two
countries.
Income tax for a married man with
out dependents in this country begins
at an earned income level Of $4,000
year on which he pays So. In Eng
land it begins at $1,000 with a rate
of $3.50 On a $4,000 income the mar
ried Englishman pays S272.S1. On a
S. 900 income, on which the Amer
lean must pay $50, the Britisher is
assessed $632.S1.
The American may feel disap
pointed that England can reduce its
| income taxes before we can. But ir
comparison with the British citizen
the United States taxpayer is getting
off lightly.

THE DES MONIES MEETING
(The NatiOn)

No third party was born at DeS
Moines when only Senator Long Of the
potential rebel leaders appeared to
address the Farm Holiday Association
at the invitation of Milo Reno. Fa-
Their COughlin changed his mind ABOUT
accepting; so did Governor Olson, we
think wisely. Huey Long entertained
the Iowa farmers but had nothing
new to say, and the occasion was not
one to brighten the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration or to cheer up the Re-
publicanS.
Father Coughlin stayed at home to
launch his League for Social Justice
as an active organization, first in De-
troit, then in Cleveland. The Detroit
meeting was only a moderate success,
the crowd growing weary of speeches,
possibly, which it could not shut off.
The league, Father COughlin was
careful to announce, is not new

were to govern the ultimate destiny
of the organization. The radio priest

Long and keeps one foot within the

A ready stiffness is being displayed
in meeting the criticism that he is

Though he still keeps the plank in

the Wagner Labor Disputes bill, thu:

Father Coughlin specifically de il
that he is a fascist or Indifferent t

such assurances to be convincing.

without ever having added a cent to
the taxpayers burden"
The report goes on to show that
during the years of it's operation the
municipal utility has paid $1.17O,OOO
in taxes and $4,000 for charges
levied for water power and water lev
els regulation, the latter another form
of taxes. Hydro pays taxes or the
equivalent thereof on the same basis
as if privately owned" the managers
report clearly states.
| Here we have complete answer
to the propaganda of the private utili-
ties that municipal ownership is I'M
fair because public plants are tax
free. And as in Winnipeg, public
plants in the United States, with rare
exceptions, pay their just share of
/ taxes.
But the municipal plant at Winnl-
peg has done more than pay its share
of taxes. Winnipeg Hydro has re-
lieved taxpayers of the cost of city
government to the extent of S115.OOO,
at the same time being generous
contributor to private charitable and
beneficial causes.
Nor has Winnipeg Hydro failed to
carry its full responsibility toward It's
workers.. WOrkmens compensation
benefits amounting to $27S,0O0 have
been paid and the pension fund for re-
tirement of employees increased by
$333,OOO.
At the same time, according to the
estimate made by it's present man
ager, Winnipeg's municipal plant has
saved the light and power consumers
of the city at least s5O,O00,OOO in low
rates.
Today the publicly owned utility at
Winnipeg stands as a monument to
good management. efficiency, and 10y
atty to the public Interest," utility
run not for private profit but for serv-
ice. It's financial condition is more
than sound, and ample reserves await
the maturing of Indebtedness. The
net income of the electric and steam
heating plants for 1884 exceeded
81, 100000.
The success of the Winnipeg utility
is even better revealed i'm figures on
consumption of electrical energy. For
1894 the per family consumption OF
electricity reached new peak OF
4,51S, kilowatt hours. Revenue from
the sale of current was more than
five times greater in 1894 than in
1913, although the increase in pOpuia-
ton for that period was only about
20 per cent.
These are facts that the average
citizen, besieged by power trust propa-
ganda, should consider carefully.

THE HOME AS AN INVESTMENT
1.-THE Mortified NewS)

Fundamentally the American Is a
home loving individual. He takes
pride in his property if that property
is modern and efficient. The last few
years the home owner has been only
too acutely aware of the deficiencies
of his property. He knows the many
things necessary to keep it in thor
oughly modern condition. Because OF
frightened credit during the last five
years. he has been unable to secure
money to make Improvements he
knows to be necessary. But the de-
sire is still there. Provided with a
method for securing credit, stimulated
by a national movement focused upon
better housing. his interest again will
be aroused to do something about a
matter most vital to him.
The Better Housing Program
| launched by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministratiOn. is designed to renew this
interest. Its provisions making ex-
tension of credit to home owners pos
sible for purposes of improvement and
modernization' is providing the pri
