Good Regulation

The signing by President Roosevelt of the bill which
empowers the District Commissioners to suspend
woke the automobile operating permits of non-resdens
who fagrany violate local safety regulations plugs
hole which has long existed in the local traffic rules
The bill, now law, imposes nothing on the non
residents which does not already rest upon local citizens
1t places upon those WhO operate automobiles here
on permits issued by the States the same obligation
to drive decentLy and carefully as the obligation
placed upon those driving NTH District permits,
under penalty of revocation suspension of their
licenses.
The necessity of such law has been obvious for
some time and has been brought to public attention
Gently by the dangerous and utterly asnine driving
antics of one particular member of Congress.
Until this new law was enacted that member could
only be fined minor sum, though he drove at
seventy-five miles an hour down city street.
With the new law he could be deprived of the priv
ilege of driving at all in the National Capital.
While the new law was not drawn particularly to
reach his case it would do and at the same time
would also reach other drivers from the States who
abuse hospitality and endanger our citizens.
THIS NONRESIDENT DRIVERS LAW IS ALL
TO THE GOOD.
In that it differs from numerous other suggestions
which have been made for ping up additional traffic
regulations
Another batch of these regulations has been
mended by Congressional committee.
Some of them may be worth considering few Of
them may be worth adopting.
BUT IT SHOULD BE BORNE IN MIND THAT
THE ACCOMMODATING OF MORE AND MORE REG
ULATIoNs IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE TRAF-
FIG PROBLEM UNLESS AND UNTIL THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS GIVEN ENOUGH MEN TO
MAKE AT LEAST RESPECTABLE ATTEMPT
AT ENFORCEMENT.

Of this writer.
Mr.. Kettering, who started his
career tinkering in the back room
of doc" Robinson's drugstore In
Mifflin, Ohio, likes to tell a story
about an Indian guide who used
to paddle him across the lake to
his friends summer camp in the
Maine woods.
"HOw's Mr.. JOnes?" Mr.. Ket-
tering asked, referring to his
host, as they approached the
landing.
Him dead" replied the old
Indian.
Mr.. Kettering was astounded.
He had just had word that Mr..
Jones was awaiting him. He pro
tested that this could not be true.
Him dead" was all the In
dian would say.
AS they landed, Mr.. Jones came
down to the shore, as fit as a
fiddle. After his bags had been
put away, Mr.. Kettering went
down to the shore to have it out
with the old Indian.
"What in the world did you
mean by telling me Mr.. Jones
was dead?"
Him long time dead. Not
fall over yet" came the reply.
The same can be said Of lot
of modern industry, thinks Mr..
Kettering. 1t loads itself with a
top-heavy capital structure and a
lot of complicated bookkeeping.
and then when science losses in
a miracle it is too stiff with fl
nancial arthritis to make use of it.
FINANCIAL ARTHRITIS
Unemployment, depressions and
stagnation mark the failure of
industry to catch up with science.
Let this slack be taken up and no
further proof that machines make
jobs, instead of destroying them,
will be necessary.
Mr.. Kettering is an ardent
evangel of this point of view.
Without falling into invidious
comparisons, it is pertinent to
note here that throughout their
entire history the railroads of
