Relatives on Relief.

Representative Frank E. Hook, Demo-
crat, of Michigan yesterday enjoyed un-
desired distinction by reason of the dis
covery that his father and three of his
brothers had been on relief. A dispatch
from his home town carried the news to
the Nation, including the Capital. And
the legislator found himself obliged to
explain. But the statement he issued
was not altogether unreasonable. st wish
I could support all my relatives" he said,
"but If any one can tell me how Con-
gresham can live in Washington eight
months of the year, meet all of the re-
Quirements of his constituents and have
a penny left over wish he would do it."
A Representatives salary is ten thou
sand dollars per annum, and he likewise
has travelling and clerk-hire allowances.
Yet, as Mr.. Hook insists, it is difficult to
make both ends meet. Living is expen-
sive everywhere and during all parts of
the year, not merely in Washington for
eight months. And poor relations are
numerous. But 1t may be hoped that
the Congressman and his colleagues will
Evening star., 1935-08-13

not forget that their plight is not pc
culiar to themselves. other folk have
similar problems. The average citizen
has far less than a Representatives
income and, proportionately, almost as
many demands upon his purse. It fol-
lows. therefore, that many individuals
have relatives on relief, and no special
shame attaches to the circumstance.
But Congressman has the power to
do something about the difficulty. He
can rise in his place in the House and
demand that Government be little less
costly, administration little less ad-
venturous. Exercising his facilities Of
persuasion, he can organize his fellow
members in behalf of economy and SAN
ity. Mr.. Hook belongs to a party which
is pledged to the cause of democracy and
social progress, but that cause needs
practical, as we'll as oratorical, service.
Any Congressman who knows from ex-
perience how hard it is to live on ten
thousand certainly should be anxious
to help those who are trying to exist on,
say, eleven hundred. The publicity of
yesterday, perhaps, has opened Mr..
Hooks eyes to the larger situation in
which he is only one of vast number
of strugglers.

Safety Drives and the
Problem of Parked Cars

To the Editor of The Star:
In a recent Sunday Star I saw an
entire page devoted to an article Of how
Washington was the fastest growing city
in America. Well, 1t may be the fastest
growing city in America, but it surely
has got the reputation OF being the most
backward city in America when it comes
to the parking of cars on the public
streets
The police chief makes So-called
safety drives every few months. The
traffic director never has anything to
say. He is paid to direct the traffic, but
If he says he wants the cars parked As
feet away from the curb, some other
fellow that knows nothing about direct
ing traffic says Is feet, and that is who
wins here.
If the police chief and the traffic di-
rector and the two Commissioners and
the Honorable Mrs. Norton would get
together and make the Government pro-
vide places for the Government en-
ployes to put their cars while at work
and not jeopardize the parks all day with
their old cars. or make them use the
street cars or buSSes more. and make
the rest of the people provide a place
to store their cars, they would really try
to make this city a safe place to walk
and drive in. But all these safety drives
are just lot of nonsense as long as the
city streets are so jammed with cars
parked on both sides "a hours a day.
One cannot drive or walk safely here
Where the space is coming from to put
more cars on the streets here 1 some
times wonder Every day there are more
and more cars parked "a hours on the
city streets. What is to become Of the
streets? A. SIMPSON.

that the A. A. A. and its processing
taxes-companion piece Of the N. r. A.
in the New Deal programs to be tested
in the Supreme Court next Fail, and 1t
appears that the President is in reality
seeking to make the issue, whether he
announces publicly that he will ask for
constitutional amendment or not. Un-
doubtedly the President is desirous that
a ground swell of demand for a change
in the Constitution be found among the
people before he crystallizes the issue in
definite constitutional amendment.
1t is reported that the President, dur
ing the course of pre-campaign West
ern trip will discuss the matters IN
volved and make reply to the challenge
of former President Hoover calling on
Roosevelt to tell the people exactly what
he wants changed in the Constitution
Even If President Roosevelt should dis
cuSs these questions, it seems scarcely
likely that he will put before the people
at this time definite proposed amend
likely to explain to them that under ex-
isting constitutional limitations it is not
possible for the Government to come
to their aid either in maintaining wages
and hours of labor or in keeping up
prices of farm products. His strategy
would be to make the people dissatisfied,
If possible, with the Constitution as it
now stands
The President may be held back in
his desire to make this constitutional
issue by some of the Democrats, par
ticularly those of the South, who would
view with distrust a demand that the
Federal Government be empowered to
act within the States with great free
dom. 1t looks more and more, however,
as though he were intent upon a CAM
paign OF persuasion at this time. rather
than the raising of definite and i'm
mediate issue.

Unfeeling Crowds.

Crowds of men, women and children,
"from miles around" gathered last
evening near the District line to watch
a company of firemen engaged in the
pathetic business Of cutting down q
man who, respondent from unemploy-
ment, had hanged himself. The throng
laughed at the spectacle, found amuse-
ment in the horror Of it. Only few
individuals seemed to prefer to be else
where or to express regret over the fate
of their fellow creature.
But Is 1t fair to conclude that hui
manity is conspicuous for its absence
in ordinary human hearts? Suppose
the man still had been alive: Would
there not have been many who gladly
would have assisted in any effort to
rescue him? The answer to the latter
question, surely, must be an affirmative.
People cannot be so lacking in SYM
pathy, so hardened to suffering as to be
willing to stand idly by while a suicide
takes place. The problem, then, is one
of extending their charity one degree
further, of making it include some sense
of pity for the dead without regard to
how or why they have died. And
eventually, when the race has attained
its ultimate spiritual maturity, the
struggles of the living may be embraced
in the comprehension and understand
ing Of mankind while yet some relief
may be given effectively. 1t is in
credible that the world. having expert
enced war and revolution and long years
of poverty. has not learned anything of
love. The crowds that laughed, please
God. were less numerous than the
crowds that, reading the story of their
laughter, feel ashamed that such an
incident should have occurred on the
edge of the Capital of the most free the
most proud, the most fortunate, the most
truly civilized Nation of the earth.

Claims the Taxicabs Have
PrOfited Transit COMPANY
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
At the recent Public Utilities Commits
sion cab rate hearing I, as spokesman
for the local cab drivers union, pointed
out to the commission that the local
car lines and busses were doing an
enormous amount Of business. I also
called their attention to the fact that
the 20-30-50-70 cent cabs were doing
very little except to block traffic In the
congested sections of the city.
Recent news reports indicate that I
was exactly correct in my summary of
the local transportation situation.
said that the real reason that caused
this situation was that the rate used
by the local rental cabs was so low that
the rental drivers were forced to drive
SO fast and SO recklessly and that they
had had so many accidents that think
ing people had become afraid to ride
In taxicabs. I also called attention to
the fact that the rental drivers had
treated patrons so diScourteouSly that
Self-reSpecting people had quit riding
in cabs.
A report from the traffic director has
Just been published. 1t states that one
out of each four of the local cabs was
involved In an accident during the last
year. Only one out of each l18 private
cars was involved in an accident dur
ing the same period. The situation is
even worse than I said it was.
Another interesting news report
states that the car and bus monopoly,
known as the Capital Transit Co, has
granted its employees a wage increase
that will cost the company 100000 o
year.
Five years ago the car and bus lines
here were claiming that they were
bankrupt. They were refusing to make
necessary track repairs. Then came
the 2Oc cab that was going to put the
cars and buSses out of business"
Now after four years OF 20c cab oper-
alton the prosperity OF the car and
bus monopoly Is so great that they are
spending thousands OF dollars making
track repairs. They have placed in
operation all the cars they had in
storage. They are spending thousands
of dollars buying new cars and blsses
They are paying their stockholders
dividends. And, in addition, they are
able to give their faithful employees an
increase that car men tell me means that
each OF them will receive a bonus OF
500 cash and almost 81 day more
in pay.
There Is only one thing wrong about
all OF this. claim that the car and
bus monopoly should have given the
100000 a year to the local zoe rental
