Motor Deaths
36,400 In Year

Motor vehicles fatalities reached
a new all-time high of approxima-
tely 36,4oo in 1885, the National
Safety council reports at Chicago.
The organizations final tabula-
lions showed an increase in auto
mobile accident deaths of about 1
per cent over the previous record of
36,101 in 1884.
To emphasize the enormity of the
deaths, sta~tisticians pointed out the
number of persons who persisted in
traffic mishaps last year would pop
ulate cities the size of Santa Bar
bara, Calf, or Orange, N. J.
But the council stated that due to
the increase in the nations popula-
ton the death rate for 100000 was
about the same as in 1934-2S.5.
1t also concluded the number of
miles a motorist was able to travel
without accident had increased be-
cause automobile registration ad-
vanced 49, per cent and gasoline
consumption went up s per cent
over 1884 in contrast to a rise of
only l per cent in fatalities. Had
crashes kept pace with the expan-
sion in motoring, it calculated, the
1885 death roster would have rang
ed between $1,000 and $4,000.

Railroads Fight

Washington - Constltutlonallty
of another New Deal measure, the

lenged in a joint suit filed in Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court

The railroads asked a permanent
injunction against operation of laws

rail employees for a pension fund !
and setting up a retirement fund
for employees at IS years of age
Joining with the railroads were
the Pullman Company, the Railway
Express Agency and the Southeast

that the true purpose Of the taxing
act was not to create revenue tor
the support of government but to
furnish funds to pay pensions. 1t
was on this point the Supreme
Court held the processing tax pro-
visions of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act unconstitutional.

Washington-Senator Bailey of

the forces seeking passage of a COM
promise bonus bill saying that he
was for a measure that would sat-
isfy the President, the veterans and
Congress. In a letter to Josephus
Daniels, Jr., North Carolina State
commander of the American
Legion, and William H. Banck,
chairman of the State legislative
committee of Veterans of Foreign
Wars, Bailey, who has heretofore
opposed various bonus bills said:

certificates and l am glad to re-
spond as follows:
'First, I am deeply gratified by
the action of the soldiers, organi-
cations in repudiating as unsound
the Patman bill which the President
vetoed in the last session. This
action is an emphateic approval by
the veterans organizations of my
course in that matter.
Second, negotiations are in
process here which look to a prompt
and satisfying settlement of the
whole matter of the certificates.
The object of these negotiations is
to contrive a plan satisfactory to
the President, The veterans and the
Congress, whereby there will be
a minimum of delay in effecting
cash settlement of the certificates.
Should these Negotiations succeed,
as l believe they will, I expect to
vote for the measure put forward

shall not take any step tending to
complicate, delay or defeat the OBJ
ject of these negotiations-that is,

WASHINGTON

Washlngton-lhe 74th Congress
which has just convened for its sec
ond and final session is trying to
pick up the loose threads of its I'M
Finished program and tie some of
the knots more securely, while con-
sidering what is required in the way
of new legislation.
A great deal of the action of this
session will be taken with one eye
on the Supreme Court. If all of
the laws of the last two years whose
constitutionality has been chal-
lenged could be passed on by the
Supreme Court at once, it would
save the Senator's and Representa-
tives a lot of time and worry.
As Congress met there was a
long list of measures on which
there has been no final adjudication
by the High Court. Most eagerly
awaited was the decision on the
A.A.A. Secretary Wallace has a
bill already prepared to offer to
Congress in the event that the Su-
preme Court rules that the process
ing taxes are illegal. 1t is the firm
intention of both the Administra-
ton and of Congress to continue
benefit payments to agriculture,
whether the funds are derived from
processing taxes or from some sub
stitute form of excise taxes, or are
merely paid out of general revenues.
There is a general agreement,
among those who keep a close eye
on the effects Of Washington's &C
lions upon business trends, that
there will be an increase in the buy
ing of farm products following the
Supreme Courts decision, which
ever way it goes.
AWAIT MANY DECISIONS
A more important Court decision
will be that on the Guffey soft coal
regulation act. The expectation is
that this will be held unconstitu-
tional, on the ground that the tax
imposed upon coal producers who
do not conform to the terms of the
law is a penalty rather than an ex-
else tax. 1t was on exactly that
ground that the Supreme Court
some years ago declared the Child
Labor Law Unconstitutional.
Uncertainty as to the Courts
ruling on the Guffey Act is expect
ed to delay action by Congress on
other regulatory measures affect
ing business.
The Supreme court also has be-
fore it questions of the constitu-
tionality of the Tennessee Valley
Act, the Social Security Act, the
Wagner Labor Relations Act, the
Railroad Pension Act, the PWA
Stun Clearance program, the Potato
Control Act, the Tobacco Control
Act and the Bankhead Cotton Con-
troll Act. Some of these will be
passed on between now and June,
some will not get to the point of a
Court ruling until Autumn. There
fore it is possible there will be no
clearcut Constitutional issue of
which either party can take advan-
