Could Have Saved $4,000
Lives!

Twenty-four thousand lives would
have been saved and nearly a mil
lion injuries prevented between 1926
and 1885 had the national trend in
motor vehicle accidents kept pace
with the reductions made in states
having standard drivers license
laws, according to the National Safe
! ty Council.
This conclusion is reached in a
new study of license regulations, en-
titled Saving Lives Through Dri-
vers' License Law" prepared by the
Council for free distribution.
Here is irrefutable evidence that
the human element, not the mechan-
ical, weather or any other agency, is
the principal cause of highway
slaughter. In states without ade-
quate drivers laws-and unless such
laws are periodically overhauled to
keep pace with changing conditions
they are almost certainly inadequate
persons who are cOngenitally
careless and incompetent have acci-
dent after accident, and they keep
on driving. Furthermore, almost
anyone can get license to drive,
irrespective of his qualifica,Ijr3.
The standard drivers license law,
which has been adopted by num-
ber of states, does not demand too
much. IL simply requires that no
cne shall drive an automobile who
is physically or mentally incapable
of operating 1t safely-and mat all
drivers shall, through tests. show
that they are reasonably competent
to handle a car. and have a good
knowledge of traffic laws and regu-
lations. Also. sound drivers law
must provide for the automatic revo-
cation of licenses of motorists who
refuse to abide by traffic rules, or
who are continually involved in ac-
The cold statistics prove that
modern license law will save lives !,
and property. Every state should
have such law.

Supreme Court
Protects Min0rities

Proposals to limit or abrogate the
powers of review of the Supreme
Court of the United States have
been made often in late years--and.
for the most part. have come from
representatives of radical organiza-
tions.
This Is an ironical situation when
the Supreme Court is the foremost
protector of the rights and liberties
of radicals or conservatives, as well
as all others. Case after case could
be cited in support of this.
A recent action is in point. A
Portland, Oregon, Communist, Dirk
DeJonge, was arrested at a Com
munist-sponsored meeting, convict
ed and sentenced to a long prison
term and a heavy fine under Ore

Another Grower
Consumer Campaign

During the past year, chain stores
throughout the nation have carried
on a number of grOwer-consumer
campaigns designed to aid farmers
in disposing of over supplies of GER
tain crops at reasonable prices.
This program is to be repeated,
according to plans laid at a recent
meeting of the Agricultural Com
mittee of the National Association of
Food Chains.
The next campaign, to be carried
ON during January and February.
will be in behalf OF the grape fruit
growers of Florida, Texas, Califor-
mia and Arizona. 1t is reliably esti-
mated that the current grape fruit
crop of $1,000 cars represent a sur
plus of marketable fruit over nor
NAL consumption of 10000 cars.
The chain stores willingly assum-
ed task is to boost consumption by
this amount, so that the grape fruit
producers may be saved from SELL
ing a substantial proportion of their
crop at loss levels.
JuuSlnS Dy past cdnlpdiSHS, thO
projected campaign will achieve its
objective. This method of stimulat-
ing consumption above normal is
scientifically planned and carried
out. Thousands of stores will dis
play grapefruit to the best advan-
tage. There will be extensive news
paper advertising. The buyers at
tention will be called to various
ways to palatably prepare and use
the fruit. And the fruit will be Offer
ed at an attractive price.
The various chain systems are
making their plans now and grow
ers have been assured of the fullest
cooperation. The farmer will reap
a golden harvest-and the consum-
er will obtain fine fruit at a reas-
oDable cost Grower-consumer cam
paigns are rapidly becoming of ma
jor significance in our agricultural
set-up.

FORECL0SURELAW
UNIFORMITY URGED
Waste of Millions of Dollars
Seen in Involved
Statutes.

The need of uniform foreclosure
statutes In all of the 48 States WAS
emphasized today by Horace Russell,
general counsel OF the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board.
Archaic and involved laws now in
force in many States, he said, provide
no protection to the borrower in dis
tress and waste millions of dollars
in unnecessary procedures and regu-
lationS."
Provides Reasonable Promptness.
Russell suggested that "a uniform
statute would be welcomed both by
the public and mortgage holding COM
panies. 1t should provide for rea-
sonably prompt foreclosure at rea-
sonable cost, and at the same time
give full protection to the mortgagor.
Such a statute can provide more ade-
quate protection TO all parties in
the mortgage itself and save many
dollars on each transaction"
He referred TO many present regu-
lations in effect in number Of
States as "a form Of legalized waste" !"
New York State is the most dis
tressing," he said. The statute there
provides no protection to the borrower
in distress. We have seen innumerable
thousands Of individual home owners
and farm owners sold out during the
recent depression under a foreclosure
system which is expensive. which in
vites early foreclosure and which in
vites mortgages to seek deficiency
judgments.
FinAncing Deferred.
The situation in many OF the States
is so backward that liberal financing
OF new homes is being deferred sub
stantially. What sensible mortgage
will lend literally when he knows
that he must spend considerable cash
to realize upon his security, and at
the same time must suffer a delay
which results in the accumulation Of
taxes, insurance and interest on his
