HUEY THE .SHARER
Progress.

The Philadelphia Record, impressed by Huey
Longs talk of sharing the national wealth. sent a
man to Louisiana to'fnd out how Huey divided up
down there. The detailed report is summed up as
Low taxes on'the rich and great corporations.
Long hours and low wages for labor including child
labor most backward record for illiteracy and
education" -t.
The Record would seem to be intimating, in fine,
that Huey is afourfusher, and that if he really
intends to share the wealth he should have showed
his hand by ordering it shared first in his own state
In one respect, however, Huey has seen to it
that Louisanas wealth is shared. 1t is shared with
Huey. As attorney for the phblic service commits
sion, job to which he vicariohsy appointed him
seH, he'has already collected $4,000 in fees And
yesterday it was disclosed that he is acting, per-

ling Hhey, it is good guess that the percentage
will not be niggardly. -Charlotte News.

THE SUICIDE BRIGADE

There seem to be a good many people in this
country who don't care much for living but Who
would be the first to be ,aghast if you accused
them of it. For no reason at all, they are con-
stantly and cheerfuly risking their necks-and
yours.
This group Of citizens-who total hundreds OF
thousands our reckless ignorant and
irresponsible motorists Consciously or uncon-
sciously possessed of the idea that their abilities
are not second to those of the daredevils of the
race tracks, they make practice of driving faster
than the law allows, even though they are going
nowhere in particular and have all the time IN the
world to get there They weave in and out OF trat-
tc-if they waited until the roadway was clear to'
passing they'd lose precious second or So Fhey
drive on the wrong side of the road. They have a
contempt for traffic lights and signals, which were
obviously created for less gifted "mortals. They
laugh at the rumored perils of hills and curves, and
take extreme pleasure in passing on them. When
their brakes GO bad and their steering and lighting
systems falter they put off repairs until some dis
tant tomorrow-they'lI certainly be able to get by
until then without inishap. And so it goes down
the entire lists of acts of commission and omission
that cause our toll of $4,000 automobile deaths pei
year.
The rest of us wouldn't have any kick coming
if the suicide brigade risked their own lives only
that after all, would be their prerogative But they
menace well-menace everyone and every
thing which uses the streets and highways The io

lent chance of being eventually numbered among
