Secretary Warns
Pedestrians, Motorists
Says People Should Walk Facing
Line of Traffic On
Pavements, Roads

At the meeting of Sank Centre
Safety Council held on February
9th, 1885, the secretary, f. e.
Bunker, was instructed to write an
article for the press as follows:
People should avoid walking on
paved roads, unless it Is absolutely
necessary and then always on the
left side of the pavement facing
the line Of traffic. Never SO that
the traffic Is approaching you from
the rear.
ut Is also extremely dangerous
to Jay walk" or cross streets any
where except at intersections and
then only In the regular channels.
never cut diagonally across an in
tersection.
Motorists! Always remember
that when you take your car out
OF the garage you are handling an
implement Of death and no emer-
gency is great enough to warrant
the taking of undue chances of Kill
ling or injuring a fellow being or
being killed yourself. After an acct
dent Is a poor time to start think.
ing about careful Irving.
Special emphasis was also plac-
ed upon the necessity OF all horse
drawn vehicles being equipped with
both head and tail lights when on
the highway after dark. It Is ex-
tremely Difficult for the motorist to
see such vehicles in time to stop
and many accidents occur annually
from this cause. Reflectors can
be purchased very cheaply and are
within the means of all and their
use Is recommended where lights
are not available.
Altogether too many motorists
are on the highways while under
the influence Of intoxicating IL
quor. Accidents from this cause
are increasing and we are urging
our local authorities to instruct the
police to be very strict and, If nee
essary, severe with these class OF
law violators.
1T is also reported by many that
some of the larger high school stu
dents are making it disagreeable
for the school patrol by racing pre-
cdpitately across patroled sections
disregarding patrolmen who are
stationed there for their protection
1.-THE chief Of police reported that
many motorists have complimented
our school patrol system as one OF
the most efficient in the country
and on a par with like systems in
the larger cities. One gentleman
from Chicago, after watching our
kids function for some time re-
marked that there was not a better
working unit in Chicago itself than
our local patrol. Both the school
faculty and those on the patrol are
to be congratulated upon their eff.
ficiency."

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
 By Edson R. Waite

Eugene Kelly Editor of the Sioux City Qowa) Tribune says On every occasion that called upon to discuss advertising my mind revers to the little booklet that Gen. era Otis late publisher of the Los Angeles Times left be- hind him. with the marvellous observations not alone for neWspapermen, but for the advertisers themselves.
 First that the newspapermen must charge enough for their circulation to make them independent of advertisers and if this brought about immediately the value of advertising would be enhanced he sad to extent that he himself would not predict.
 This opportunity believe still maintains and is the thing that will greatly enhance the value of advertising to the advertiser.
 'The newspapers not only in two rich spots but in the country generay would then hire advertising and just salesmen The entire advertising force of newspaper would then require capable copywriters any advertising agency could afford
 Advertising in every paper from the largest to the smallest could take the time and would have the nte gence write copy pertinent to each territory that could fail produce to such extent that the rate would cease be the buying argument of local advertisers.

 TAX REVISION
League Platform Adopted in Capital
 Cities Loss in Public Revenne

WASHINGTON, Jan. = A need for exaltation of public services and a re-adjustment of tax systems on a thesis that governmental services are menaced by tax reduction, was set forth in a platform adopted to- day by the League of Women Voters.
 The platform presented by Mrs. Jasper King of Chicago read as fol- lows:
 We believe that government of the people, by- the people and for the people, can meet the challenge flung by fascism and communism. We be- lieve that we, the people, must shake off our lazy-minded attitude toward government. We believe that Jack sons to the victors belong the spoils' must vanish. In it's place we shall unfurl fresh standard, There is no greater glory than public service Let public service be so exalted and so wise that no one in the future shall find scope for his patriotism only in military service.
 We believe, that we the people, can through the machinery of our democracy create ways of training and selecting our civil servants which will attract to public service men and women of extra worth
 We believe that essential gov- ernment services are menaced by the appalling reduction in revenue from taxation Our systems of taxation are antiquated aud outworn. We be- lieve the tax burden can be redistri- buted, tax systems readjusted to pro-
