American Newspapers

Perhaps in no other industry is there such a var
iety of conditions as in the newspaper business To-
tailed indiscrminatey, there something over H.
900 newspapers in the United States, ranging from
the smallest country weekly, which prints only two
pages in it's shop with additional pages printed
by syndicate, to the greatest metropolitan dailes
which employ thousands of persons each.
For the smallest, probably not more than rs
pounds of paper is required each week. while the Chi

writer, the New York Times employs 3,100 persons,

ODES TO ORDER
 RK MASEFIELD

London - (UP)-England's poe laureate, John Masefeld, is threat. ening to rise in revolt and refuse to write a poem for the coronation of King Edward VIII.
 The one-time sailor who wa. named poet laureate by the latt King George, returned from the United States recently and announ- ced tersely that "odes to order" arc not in his line.
 Unless he finds and unexpected inspiration he will not write any poem celebrating the crowning of the new monarch more than a year hence. The British press had announced that he was rushing home to start work on the ode to King Edward.
 T don't think any poet should constantly be called upon to write on specific subjects" he said. "In the 18th century laureates were ex- pected to write a poem every time the king had birthday. He then had to read his poem in the 1res- ence of all the maids of honor. After some years the maids of honor humbly begged to be excused from the privilege. I am not sur- prised.
 The office of poet laureate is re- sponsible for much of the worlds worst literature. Were 1t not for the laureates, the anthologists of bad verse would be hard put to fill their volumes"
 Mansfield said that when he was appointed poet laureate he did not put 1t so crudely as to insist he would never write to order.
 Tt is merely that writing odes is not my line" he exlained. T find my best inspiration in telling stories. Fo' that reason I have con- templated nothing in connection with the coronation"

Dan Roper on the Carpet :. Kicks
Finally Win Hearing CfUH
SerUice Rating Changed

WASHINGTON-Some heed finally has been
paid to frequent complaints that it has become
relatively unsafe to 90 to sea or up in the air
under the administration OF shipping ana AVA
ton by Secretary of Commerce Dan Roper,
Legislation providing for II new supervising
inspectors and travelling inspectors for the Bu-
reau of Navigation and Steamship Inspection
has been so revamped that these officials Will be
under civil service. They will have to pass eN-
aminations to show that they're qualified.
The Commerce Department had insisted that
the Jobs be exempted from civil service. The only
apparent reason for that was that the salaries
involved ran up TO $500 and $4,000. which comes
into the class of desirable political patronage
Without the protection OF civil service, It
would have been easy later to fire any oil the ~
officials in they became too severe III
enforcing safety regulations.
Credit for covering the II Jobs under civil
service goes to the Senate, which ordinarily Is
eager to reserve such plums for poitica! uses.
And also. it IS reported, to the White House
which is said to have decided the men should be
appointed on a merit basis FOR the benefit of the
Sea-going public.
This slight change for the better, however,
probably will do little toward cleaning up the
mess for which Roper's critics hold him largely
responsible.
The delegation of rs seamen which recently
waited on Roper after his attempt to have sailors
who went on strike in port prosecuted Tor mu-
tiny merely added to a high pile OF testimony.
Some of its members described libeboatS with
holes in them; fire and lifeboat drills held Tor
the benefit of inspectors, with members OF the
shore gang participating instead o. the crew
which would take the ship to sea; departing
ships so undermanned that there weren't enough
able bodied seamen to handle all llfenoatS IN
case of disaster; and operation OF ships by
alien and inexperienced crews.

Other Editors Say
PEDESTRIANS WORST SUFFERERS
IN CAR ACCIDENTS
ICOItOn Courier ]

During our nationwide effort to bring
about greater safety on the highways, it is
most interesting to know that in spite OF the fact
that there were almost hundred thousand
more collisions with automobiles than with ped
estrians last year. there were twice as many
pedestrians killed as there were people in mach
ines This tends TO show that the present day
cars form a protection to life and limb while
the pedestrian is wholly defenseeSs
In 1885 there were 297,6l0 collisions of cars
and pedestrians and these resulted in the death
of 5000 people! in the same period there were
374 AGO collisions with other and the deaths
from such accidents totalled only 5000. How
ever, the injuries showed terrific increase,
45032O being listed in the machine collisions
and 27664O in the machine and pedestrian acci-
dents
1t is a shameful record-that much is admit
ted but the increase over the accidents of 1884
is somewhat offset by the fact that gain of
between five and six per cent in car registra-
tions this past year would account for some of
the accident toll.
Last year the deaths from traffic accidents
mounted to 36100 against al-time high rec
ord the year previous of 1859 deaths. Know
ing this it is little wonder that organizations
and clubs of all kinds are endeavoring to bring
greater safety to the travelling public through
nation wide education

MIA for repeal of the sales tax" iUOuld
substitute bad for good, making ruin
alton a certainty for the states school
and financial systems.
O.
When voters go to the polls in No
vember, they will have the opportunity
to vote for state constitutional amend
ment entitled, Repeal of the Sales
Tax" The writing of that proposed
amendment was magnificent piece of
fraud. 1t calls for repeal of the sales
tax, certainly, but it also calls for
enactment of the so-called single tax,
which has been turned down six times
already by the states voters Now it
bobs up again, wolf hidden under the
sleeps clothing of sales tax repeal.
First-do we want. repeal of the sales
tax?
A total of S75S,S3S was collected in
Imperial county from the sales tax to
and including June 301935. In the same
period, Imperial county received from
the state treasurer, principally out of
sales tax collections, total of more
than 1882, ,399, or more than twice the
amount of sales tax paid to the state
by residents of this county. Sales tax
revenue was mainly for the support of
public schools, and in lesser degree for
county welfare purposes. The sales tax
looks like good thing to this county.
Second-do we want the single tax?
The single tax seeks to centralize
taxation by removing all forms of taxes
and levying only against real property.
Land earns only 20 per cent of the ma
tional income, a recent federal survey
shows. 1t is safe to say that CALIFORNIA;
ratio is about the same. Why, then,
should land be expected to pay the en-
tire cost of government, while other in
come producing agencies are left tax
free?
Neither farmers nor city property
owners could meet the cost of the single
tax. Within three years, economists
say, the state would own every bit of
property in California. There would be
no individual property rights. Chaos
would result.
Schools closed, property taken from
its owners, bankruptcy for business,
financial chaos for the state-it seems
like an unbearably black picture but it
could happen. That innocent appearing
little proposed constitutional amendment
could be the agency through which it is
brought about.
