SCHOOL PUPILS
MAY Be TAUGHT
TO DRIVE AUTOS
Glasses Are Suggested as
Safety Move by State
Superintendent.

Floyd L McMurray, state schools
superintendent. today suggested to
the 1900 teachers under his super
vision that they establish classes in
auto driving for pupils near driving
age, as scfety program measure.
He also urged them TO copy and
distribute for home consumption a
booklet and treatise on safe driving
and safe walking which he forward
ed to them.
The fact" he wrote to superin-
tendents all over the state, that
the auto, when uncontrolled, is the
greatest destroyer Of modern times
necessitates that We face the situa-
ton frankly and take action.
Urges Education in Safety
I take this means to urge the
Cooperation Of all the forces Of edu-
cation in the common cause Of hu-
man protection against traffic dan
gers. It seems that the problem Is
one requiring the general safety edu-
cation of all citizens"
Mr. McMurray inclOsed in his
communication copies Of a safe
driving pledge which he urged the
superintcndents TO place in the
hands Of pupils for them TO take
home and give to their parents.
He suggested that all schools hav-
Ing motion picture projectors use
them in a campaign Of visual safety
instruction
Rules for Driving Suggested
The rules for safe driving he sug-
gested are. Keep your car under
control at all times; give full pro-
lection to pedestrians; correctly re-
gard all light signals and stop signs;
slow down when road conditions re-

TIDES OF PUBLIC OPINION

Elections held in several states
November 5 showed some remark
able results, and will be variously
interpreted by the politicians. II
takes a wise man to forecast accu-
rately the tides of public opinion re-
fiected in such contests, and a still
wiser one to tell how long and how
powerfully those tides will flow.
Before an election, it is customary
for the partisans of each side to is
sue confident statements of victory
That is part of the strategy of poll
tics. Many people drift with the cur
rent or like to be on the winning
side. Hence many votes are lost if
the leaders of any cause admit de-
feat in advance.
Public opinion is extremely ditn-
cult to forecast. Even the political
experts and specialists whose busi-
ness is to get the facts impartially,
and report what they actually find
rather than what they wish for, are
often extremely puzzled in their at
tempt to fathom the thought Of the
voters.
The tides of opinion are a deep
swelling force which surges through
millions of silent minds. The quiet
home folks who determine election
results do not usually say much
about what they think. The orators
and the fast takers are clamoring
On every platform. and in every
hang-out. Meanwhile the people are
doing a great deal of quiet thinking
and observing. They watch how
+hings go, they consult their own
Dersonal experience, rather than the
.bings that are told to them.
The American people have their
moods and humors. In tempers OF
they reach out to hit
somebody or some cause which they
bink created their troubles. But in
he long run kind of common sense
Judgment is apt to sway their YER
Iicts.

THE LEAFLESS TREE

Az summers beautiful foliage
drops from the trees of forest and
street, the world looks desolate to
many. The rich beauty that clothed
the landscape in its shining garment
has dropped to earth, worn out and
ready for burial.
The leafess tree is like wrestler
going forth to battle. Such an
athlete strips off all superhuous
clothing, ready to tackle his desper-
ate antagonist. So Natures trees
are wrestlers, preparing to battle
with the storms Of winter. They are
not so beautiful as they were in their
glistening clothing Of June. But
they look strong, ready for tussle.
You feel sure that those cherished
trees will come through that en-
counter as firm as ever.
Also the winter is a period OF
rest for the trees. They gather
their forces together, and prepare
themselves for another year Of labor
and beauty.

THE CORN.HOG PLAN

The 'corn-hog" farmers have
voted for the government plan for
regulating their product, by prob
ably six to one vote. Anybody
might have known that would be
the result. When the children vote
against Christmas, one may expect
the farmers to vote against such a
plan.
This method of controlling pro-
ductiOn is an experiment. It's advo-
Gates will no doubt admit it can be
improved. The problem Of reliev-
ing the farmers is about as difficult
as that of regulating the weather.
The farmers should have better re-
turns for their hard work. But any
body who can give them those bet
ter returns without arousing a
mighty kick from the people who
pay the prices, would seem destined
to rank among the worlds wise
men.

THE ARMED UNDERWORLD

Some light on the question where
the vicious underworld gets the
deadly weapons which it uses with
such brutal freedom, is given by the
U. S. Department of Justice. It is
noted that 2O47 firearms and 27S.OOO
rounds of ammunition have been
stolen from National Guard Armor-
les in less than three years.
So when the people thought they
were fitting out their soldier boys
to protect the community, in some
cases the underworld has gained
some of those arms to prey on So
ciety. The natural suggestion is
that every such armory should. be
locked up very tight Even then it
is hard to keep out a desperate foe
that stops at nothing. But perhaps
the experts on safe keeping can help
fasten up those arms so tight that
no crook will get them.

rHE rEAcHERS, OATH

The movement to require school
and college teachers to take an oath
Of allegiance to the constitution OF
the United States is spreading over
the country. It encounters protest
from many teachers, as the begin
ming Of an attempt to dictate the
political opinions Of such instrac-
tors. Yet the advocates Of the idea
ask why a teacher should be any
more sQueamish about such an oath
than the public official, who does
not hesitate to swear his devotion
to his country.
If our schools and colleges fail 70
give hearty support to our govern
ment, we are headed for difficult
times. What we need most is love
of country, which is not always de-
veloped by forcing people to do this
or that.

SEEING THE WORLD AT HOME

People often say they are keenly
anxious to "see the world" They
can see the world in their home
town, by going short distances. Nov
ing pictures bring every scene in the
world before their faces. They get a
better idea through them of the ap-
pearance of foreign cities and peo-
pies than they would by visiting
them. Newspapers and magazines
tell about life in every country, and
present pictures from all over the
world.
Even a small town is a kind of
reproduction of the world in mini
ature. You can find all types of peo-
rIe there. There are those who love
books and study, those who are fond
of sport and amusement, those who
are full of ambition, those who only
desire easy and good natured lives.
Every phase of life is presented in
ones home town. You do not have
to obtain large sums Of money for
travel before you can see the world.
You can see it at home.

ARE you AN ASSET

.. People sometimes ask why they
are not valued more in their home
towns, why no one ever suggests
that they take some public Office, 5or
asks them to serve on some COM
mittee. :.
the reason in some cases is that
these people never did anything for
their home towns, which raises q
doubt whether they would care to
do anything, or would be eifectiFe
in any kind Of service to the pub
lie. Some people of very excellent
cherecter yet take this negative at
titude. They could do so much
good, if they would make themselves
positively valuable by taking some
share of the work of building up the
home town.

THE RED CROsS

The American people are very
emphatic in declaring that more at
tention must be paid to those who
suffer from poverty and distress
But sometimes their ardor for these
good causes spends inself in mere
words. The man who speaks very
eloquently on the need for this hu-
name action, is not always willing to
put up a dollar for these noble
causes himself.
The annual roll call Of the Amer
ican Red Cross, held from Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving, gives people
an opportunity to show their sin
cere sympathy with sufferers from
misfortune.
This great organization reaches
into millions of homes. 1t aids war
veterans handicapped in the battle
of life, assisting their families who
are hard pressed by sickness and
destitution.
It enlists the services of a great
body of generous women who give
time and money to produce garments
for the needy. 1t carries on a splen-
did system of educational work, to
teach people how to maintain heal
thy homes and care for the sick. 1t
gives lessons in life saving and first
aid to the injured, and teaches the
how to provide nourish-
ing food for their families.
1t carries on work among the chill
iren, helping to remove physical de-
'ects and providing good food for
he undernourished. Millions of
roung folks will come on the scene
With better hopes of successful and
Iseful lives because the Red Cross
aught them how to live, or cured
he defects from which they suffer-
ID.
The Red Cross provides superb
.ystem of emergency help, ready to
,tep into any community that suf-
ers from food, hurricane, earth
luake, fire or other disaster, and
,ender the aid that the prostrated
5eople on the ground could not pos
sibly provide. Such an organization (
could well use 10 times as much
money as it can possibly get. The
people should support this noble
work to the limit.

TURKEY PAGES ms FATE

The great turkey eating holidays,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, are
soon to come. Old Mr.. turkey may
wen cherish the last days Of his ca
reer, and gobble sadly as he thinks
Of his impending doom. However, he
can console himself with the thought
that his finai appearance is one Of
glory.
He may have passed his life on
some obscure farm, or as an unno-
ticed member Of some great hoek.
But in his final splentlor he rouses
unlimited admiration. The children
cry oh-oh-oh-oh, and the scent Of
his toothsome fiesh nils the house.
Our ancestors found Wild turkeys
roaming over most Of the territory
Of this country. They enjoyed glor-
ious feasts from this succulent bird
when Gheir hunters came home. In
our prodigal wasting Of game re-
sources, these birds have been large
" driven from the forests. But the
hack yard and farm product take
their place, and furnish millions OF
choice dinners for the two great hoi-
idays.

that not one of his plans or projects

The old type Of activity in a town
was for everyone to spend all his
time pushing his own business. and
looking out for his own interest
only. That created a type Of hard
working people, who no doubt ac-
complished lot. But the trouble
was that the people who pushed
their own interest exclusively, were
a good many times pushing against
somebody else. They were fighting
each other, which produced no COM
munity development, and weakened
the power Of the community to ac-
complish things.
When the business people and
workers OF a community. take hold
to push together for the develop
ment Of a town, and promotion Of
all causes that would make a bet

suits, and such a town makes prog

DTCTATORs IN AWERTCA

VIII the United States ever submit
to the rule of a dictator, with powers
similar to those exercised by Prem
ier Mussolini in italy, and by JOS
eph Stain in Russia? This question
will come home to many of our peo-
pie, when they read the latest novel
by Sinclair Lewis. In this story en-
titled 'It Can't Happen Here" this
famous author paints a picture OF
things that might happen should
some powerful leader attempt to set
himself up as the sole ruler of the
United States.
There is much political controver-
sy as to whether the last Congress
gave too much power to the office
Of president. But there will be no
real dictatorship in this country, so
long as the people can elect a pres
ident and Congress every few years.
If most Of the factories stopped,
and the majority of folks lacked
work and bread, people would be IN
a mood to do something drastic.
They would demand some plan by
which the shops and the farms
could operate, and the people could
earn a living. If it came to a choice
between freedom and starvation,
they might give up their freedom
for a time.
But the love of freedom is deep in
the American mind. The people
fought the Revolutionary War to
obtain liberty, and fought the World
War to preserve it.
If they got the factories and farms
again, by giving a vast
grant of power to the president or
some emergency commission, they
would probably demand very soon
The privilege of finding fault. The old |
grocery parliament would resume
in every cross roads store |
and city hang-out, and demand a |
,hance to express its opinions. Our
people will always claim the right |
q speak their minds, to vote as they
zee fit, and to put out Of Office any
,ody who fails to get the results
hey want.

TELLING THE WORLD

If business concern lacks cOnii-
dence in the value of some line of
goods, it will not say much about
them. But when it advertises goods,
it expresses strong faith that the
goods are of special value and worth
more than the price.
The confidence thus manifested
has a powerful effect on the public
mind. "Those goods must have some
special value out of the ordinary"
the average person says, cor the
concern would not spend any money
to push them" If you want the pub
lie to believe aud get interested in
the thing you are trying to sell,
show that you have strong faith in
it yourself by advertising it.

GETTING UP IN THE MORNING

VIA INV ~ ~ AN @AOAt-NA-tN
The city council of Chicago has
voted to set the city's clocks ahead
one hour beginning next March /, so
that it win run on Eastern standard
time instead Of on Central time.
Thus it practically adheres to day
light saving" time, only it will begin
on that plan about two months be-
fore most of the daylight saving
communities set their clocks ahead.
The country as a whole has not
taken kindly to the daylight saving
idea. 1t is very unpopular with the
farmers, and causes them real in
convenience. It creates confusion in
railroad time tables. 1t is argued
that if people want to get up earlier
in the morning, they should do it by
some method other than tinkering
with the clocks.
The farmers say they have to get
up early enough under standard
time. Yet it is interesting to see that
the people of a great city like Chi
cago have this desire to get up in
the morning. The usual tendency of
city life is to lie abed mornings, and
sit up late at night.
early to bed and early to rise,

and wise" said the old timers, while !
the younger generation snoozed on
their downy couches. eff you wish to
thrive, you must rise at five, but if
you have thriven. you may rise at
seven," was another of the old saws.
If the ChicagOites desire earlier
rising, it is not probably so much
because of a wish to work longer
hours, as because they want more
time after the evening meal for out
door recreations and other activi-
ties. The old theory was that man
should get up with the sun and go
to bed with it. Modern life, with pro-
Ionged evenings and night doings,
has mostly abandoned that idea. But

rests on enlarging the Federal
governments powers and Great
ing new alphabetical agencies
with tens of thousands of new
bdreaucrats, inevitably means
larger permanent taxes so as to
produce the funds t0 pay these
government employees. BY bor-
rowing instead of taxing, the New
Dealers have postponed the day
of reckoning-financial as we'll as
political. Knowing that not they
nut their successors in Office will
have to meet the debts incurred
in behalf of the New Deal, they
do not care where the money
comes fr0m-so long as it doesn't
come from taxes.
They are quite well aware that
if they tried to Operate the New
Deal on a pay-as-you-go basis the
tax payers would quickly rise IN
revolt and throw the New Deal
out of the window.
Since the New Deal came into
effect, 10000 new Federal jobs
have been created. These cost the
taxpayer nearly a half billion
dollars year. These jobs can
only be eliminated after a violent
political struggle.
The more services the govern !
ment provides the more taxes it
has to raise. The more the gov
eTnment goes into business. con-
trolls farming, regulates industry
and CONNIE rec, the mora agents
it needs who, in turn, need offices
and automobiles and typewriters !
and red tape. Each such new
agent, each office, each yard of .
red tape has to be paid for-by
you and me. Taxes go almost en-
tirely to support bureaucrats and
politicians.
The seriousness of this lies in
the fact that the tax burden for
most of US is already unbearable.
AS the New Deal borrowings he
gin to be paid for. taxes will go
up. This is unavoidable.
But what the country wants
and needs is to haze taxes lower
ed.
This thought is alarming to the
New Dealers because they realize
the cold fact that reduced taxes
and the New Deal cannot go hand
in hand. Continue the New Deal
and raise taxes, or reduce taxes
and scrap the New Deal. There is
no alternative.
As indicated in these columns
last month, one of the many pain
full tasks which the Republicans
will have to perform in rectify-
ing the New Deal errors is to cut
and increase reve-
nues so as to balance the budget.
Actual reductions in expenditure
are indispensible-not alone the
cessation of borrowing.
