CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Nd, October
2a.-Prince Georges County justices
Of the peace have authority to try
traffic violation cases, according to an
opinion of States Attorney Gen. Her.
bert r. O'Conor revealed in a letter
here today.
Since the present Police Court set
up was established in 1927 justices Of
tie peace in Prince Georges County
have not tried traffic cases. They
have limited their activities in motor
vehicle violation hearings to issuance
Of warrants and setting of bonds for
tria1 in Police Court.
I'm answer to a request by Justice
Of the Peace Robert E. Ennis of this
town, O'Conor declared: "The local
laws of your county provide that the
police justice shall try all criminal
cases IN the county, with the excep-
tion Of motor vehicle cases and VIOLA
tibns Of town ordinances, both Of
which classes of crimes may be tried
not only by the police justice but also
BY the several justices Of the peace
Of the county"
The attorney general also informed
Ennis that charges made by justices
Of the peace for violations Of town
ordinances should follow the county
charges"
Ennis. secretary of the Magistrates
Association of Prince Georges County,
has led o three-month fight for re-
turn of primary jurisdiction in traffic
cases to the justices.
Several motions. seeking to invah-
date the present police court system,
have been fled in the Circuit Court
at Upper Marlboro. These motions
aver that the law Of 1927 establish
ing the Police Court set-up Is uncon-
stitutional.

the expense of Kansas school system.
Last night at Tulsa, Okla, the Re-
publican presidential nominee declared

diate family" had made utterly un-
true" and malicious" charges against
the Kansas school system.
Today Roosevelt released without
comment the text of the question put
to him at a radio forum here on Oc-
tober 10 and his answer to IT.:
The question:
Mr.. Roosevelt, can you tell US how
Gov. Iandon balanced the budget of
the State Of Kansas?"
The answer:
Gov. Landon balanced the budget
for the State of Kansas in accordance
with the law OF that State. The
budget Of Kansas is SIS. .25o. 900, which
is q little more than that of the city
of Worcester.
ITO balance the budget of the State
of Kansas required Federal loans and
grants Of $425, 100000. In addition,
Gov. Landon cut the salaries Of school
teachers Of Kansas to an average Of
50 q week. He eliminated ~ schools,
thereby, depriving thousands of chill
dren of their opportunity to receive q
primary school education.
1T is one thing to pay lip service to
the theory of economy. It is some
thing else to practice 1t at the expense
Of the Federal administration which
he is now condemning.
I'VE IN Massachusetts, have one of
the greatest public school systems in
