Highway Lighting For Safety

''At least 80 per cent of the night fatal accidents, it Is
seems reasonable to believe, should be prevented by the pro-
vision of adeqlate highway lighting" according to a report on
archaeological Trends recently submitted to President Roose-
velt by he National Resources Committee.
Citing statistics compiled by the Travellers l surance Com
pany and the National Safety Council, the report proves the
vital relationship of visibility to night fatalities, which in 1879
numbered 2l,4S0 and comprised over go per cent of the total
day and night traffic deaths, even though only Is of the "a
hour traffic is On the road after dark.
From figures submit. ed by the states of New Jersey, Ore
gon, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, it was OBJ
served fhat fafalty experiehee was about the same for WIN
ter months Of November, December and January as it was in
She summer months of May, June and July-with this one
important exception Between the hours of 5 to S p. NJ, fa-
taities were 38 per cent higher in the winter months when
1t is dark than in the ummer when it is light, and despite
the fac, that traffic volume is considerably less in winter than
in summer. The report estimates a reduction of At per cent
in night fatalities during the winter period should be exro"t-
ed If good light were supplied. Studies made by r. =. Simp.
son in 60 cities, quoted by the report, showed the avero~o -
fatality rate per million traffic units on streets carrying 900
automobiles per hour, was 0046S The ratio of night to day ia
talihes on these same streets, according to the grade of street
lighting, varied from 8 to ], to At to l.
While the extension OF highway lighting may be iustiT's
on the basis of cold dollars and eents economies, based on an
tcipated reduction of night accidents, numerous other social
effects may be expected, the report continues, mentioning the
advantages resulting from a reduction of highway crime, and
more efficient utilization Of highways and increased enjoyment
in night driving. Estimates show about so per cent of traffic
moves in daytime as compared to 20 per cent at night-a fact
which indicates that the tremendous investment in our high
way system Is in a large pratt being wasted during hours of
darkness.

Solution Involves Employment

Treasury officials indicate that taxation of investment pro-
fits will be one of the principal questions studied In their gen.
eral tax survey. Representative Cener, Democrat of New
York, has made public a letter asking Secretary Morganthaus
opinion of outright repeal of the capital gains and losses Sec
ton of the Income tax law. "a general overhauling of the Fed
eral tax structure at the next session of Congress has been
proposed by President Roosevelt. The Treasury, in its prepar-
atory study, is giving especial attention to two points, tn I'M
distributed earnings tax on corporations and the capital gains
and losses section of the income tax law.
Representative Celler urges ten points against the capital
gains and losses section of the income tax law. They are: 1T
fails to distinguish between capital mad income; Pit gives
insufficient allowance for net capital loss; SIT aceentuates
business cycles; At deters financing of new enterprises; s.
1t impedes the fluidity of capital; Cit penalties simplification
of corporate structures; Tt tares price level fluctuations
st soaks the poor who have to lquidate; 1t stimule9ee
tax avoidance; lot fails to produce much revenue.
Representative Celer's letter to Secretary Morganthau
said 81 do indeed hope you and the officials in e"0~ 1s9T~t-
ment have now realized the impotency of the capital gains and
losses tax as a revenue producer and the diseouragement it
has been to economic recovery. We have had the present rate
since 1884 Sufficient time has elapsed to judge it'd merits. !
have consulted scores of experts, manufacturers, merchants
and other taxpayers. There seems to be universal condemnation
ton. Officials high in your department and in other branches
of the Administration feel the time has come to revalue and
reguage the efficacy of this tax. Your judgment is invaluable
I do hope your conclusions point to repeal'
Representative Cener is doing a great service to the ma
ton in forcing this question to the front for immediate con-
sideration because investments and Jobs depend upon its sound
solution.

WORDS FROM WORKER

When labor and political attacks
against industry are the order of
the day, it is refreshing to read
and employees opinion stating
@Why I Like to Work for My Com
pany."
Forbes Magazine offered prizes
for such expressions. One of the
winners was Walter ]. Held of the
Standard Oil Company of Califor-
MIA. In part, Mr.. Held Said:
My company has never caused
me to regret joining up with it "a
pears ago.
There are two outstanding rea-
sons for my profound appreciation
Of my company. These are stability
of employment and untitled pos
sibility for advanceent for every
one.
During six years of depression,
| never feared my employer failing
me, though the company was seri-
ously affected by the same econom-
ic circumstances as other industrial
enterprises. There has been feast
and famine, chaotic price conditions
dishonest competition, upsetting
legislation, threats of government
tai competition and increasing tax
alton. But my employer intelligent
ly demonstrated good citizenship
and civic consciousness.

pointed $4,000 stockholders, by fail

STRIFE with loss OF It's legion OF
workers.
Rates of pay for the rank and
file have never been cut. In 1881,
when construction work had been
completed and the general slump
in business occurred, a plan was
developed whereby workers would
be placed on part time. Instead of
laying off men, new work was un-
dertaken a year and a half ahead
of requirements. Four-day weeks
were adopted to spread labor. This
share the work plan saved jobs fer
5000 workers.
1t was the first company to es-
tablish the 8 hour day, with no de-
crease in pay, when work in oil
fields, pipe lines, pumping stations
and refineries had been on IL hour
basis.
1t was the first to adopt bAe six
day week for drilling erews.
1t places its employees on a
monthly payroll after one has com
pleted a year of continuous service,
thus making everyone eligible for
the same privileges.
1t grants annual vacations with
full pay.
Compensation is paid during
sickness and recovery from accid-
ent, depending on length of service
and regardless of whether or not
it results from performance of duty
1t has a liberal pension plan on
an annuity basis.
Undoubtedly the greatest incen-
tive to all employees is the oppor-
tunity for advancement from the
ranks to the highest executive posi-
ions. 1t is encouraging for en-
ployees to know that virtually all
company officials started at the
bottom, thus assuring sympathetic
understanding of the problems on
fronting the workers. Of 12,423
employees on the company payrolls
at the end of 1884, Cd per cent had
ten years or more of continuous
service.
it'll two unimportant exceptions,
no group of employees has ever
struck for any cause originating
within the company, over a period
of SO years. The company has al
ways been particularly fair in mat,
ters Of compensation.
For % years continuous service,
FIVE weeks vacation with full pay
is allowed. For every five years
thereafter, six weeks vacation with
pay is granted.
The company encourages EN-
ployee credit unions to aid less for
tunate workers.
Employee associations handle
social, industrial welfare and col
lective bargaining of problems.
Managers r easily reached by the
individual worker.
Could there be more convincing
reasons Why I Like to work for
My Company?

Defender of the
Darker Peoples
By Cyril Briggs

AS in its shameful accord with
Mussolini over conquered Ethiopia,
japanese Imperialism, in its robber
war on China, is exposing for all
the sham and hypocrisy of its bally
hosed pretensions of defender" of
the darker peoples.
The ~niication of Chima's AGO.
o00, 900 people as a powerful nation
would be a SCATTERING blow to the
imperialist system which robs and
Expresses the darker peoples. A
Japan that really sought to cham
pion the cause of the oppressed
darker peoples would aid the Chin
csc people to achieve their goal of
national unity. On the contrary,
imperialist Japan has sought by
every means in its power to pre-
vent Chinese unity and the deve-
lopment of a powerful Chinese no
ton.
In 131, Japan seized the three
northeastern Chinese provinces of
Manchuria. In 1892, Japan invaded
Shanghai, South China cetropolis,
and butchered 10000 of its inhabit-
ants. More recently, the Japanese
imperialists sought to amputate
North China from the central
Chinese government, by setting up
puppet regimes in Hopei and Cha
har. Meeting determined resistance
from the people of forth China,
the Japanese militarist resorted to
open, though undeclared, war on
China.
The Omaha guide., 1937-09-11
Would Divide China

Several weeks ago the japanese
government openly declared its in
tntion to 'sbeat the Chinese people
to their knees" Meeting unexpect-
ed resistance to this bullying OBJ
jective, the defender" of the dark
err peoples has now let it be known
that it is rady to divide the loot
with other imperialists powers.
Last week the Japanese Foreign
Office came out in the open es-
pousal of the conquest of China and
it's partition among the imperialists
bandits, as in the case of Africa.
The Tokyo Foreign Office answered
foreign criticism of its attack on
China with the suggestion that the
imperialists were all in the same
boat and the warning that the ex-
istence of a free, powrful China
would endanger colonial possess
sions throughout the world.
Vice Admiral Kiyeshi Hosoga-
waa, commander of the japanese
naval forces in the battle for Shan
ghai, similarly stressed the identity
of the interests of all the imperial
list powers.
Japan" he told foreign CORES
pondents, "is fully prepared to re-
spect the rights and interests of
foreign powers, which we believe
will ultimately profit from the
great sacrifices Japan is making to
defend the International Settle
ment from Chinese aggression"
Betrayed Ethiopia
1t was no doubt in the same spi-
rit of imperialists solidarity
against the oppressed peoples, de-
spite sharp contradictions and an
tagonisms in the ~imperialist camp,
that the Japanese government
rushed to join Nazi Germany, it's
military ally, in formal recognition
of Mussolini's conquest of Ethiopia.
In payment for Japanese recogni-
ton in Ethiopia, Fascist Italy is
today ch~ampioning the fright" of
Japan to devastate and partition
China. Ialian troops aided the Jap
anese invaders at Tientsin, North
China. Italian and German news
papers are loud in defense of ia
pans brutal attack on China.
The Chinese people are heroically
defending their country, their right
to a free national existence. A vic
tory for Japan and its fascist al
lies would be a gain for world re-
action and a devastating blow to
the national aspirations of the en-
shaved peoples of Africa and Asia.
The issue is clear. Our duty is clear.
It is to give every aid in our po-
wer, moral and financial, to the
heroic Chinese people, and to rally
all progressive forces in vigorous
protest against the invasion of
China.

THE BIG FELLOW.

American railroad rates are
the lowest in the world. Amer
gan wages are the highest.
A large part of the credit
for this, says the Association
Of American Railroads, must go
to the "big fellow "-the mod
ern super locomotive that can
"high-ball a string of box cars
more than a mile long.
These locomotives develop
$500 horsepower, asd they go
at a speed of 10 miles an hour.
Their Influence on railroad
freight charges and railroad
wages is obvious.
For instance, rates are di-
rectly affected by the number
Of cars q locomotive can han
die. If today's trains were as
short at the trains of sc years
ago, the annual freight haul
ing cost, based on 1896 traffic,
would be increased $3.50, 00O,-
900. The extreme high wages,
plus liberal pensions and other
bendfits enjoyed by railroad
workers, are dependent on low
cost operation. The long, fast
modern freight trains hold OPP
Grating costs down, and thus
make possible big pay for the
workers from moderate freight
charges.
From the standpoint of the
general public, the f'big fell
low" likewise performs great
services. He moves goods with
maximum speed at a low cost,
thus helping 10 hold prices
down. And longer trains are
definitely safer than shorter
trainS-the more trains you
have on a track, the greater is
the chance of accident, as a
Federal coort recently pointed
out in saying: "The frequency
of train and train-service acct
dents is directly related to the
number of train units operated.
Between 1923 and 1886, when
length and speed of trains in
creased rapidly, the frequently
of train accidents dropped 58.5
per ctnt."
The "big fellow, drawing
mile-long trains serves us all.
He represents the ultimate in
transportation economy and
safety.

same time, the outlook in world
affairs is so grave that we are sx-
pnnding our military resources on
an unprecedented peace time scale.
The old naval treaty between
England, Japan and the United
States, is to all intents and pur-
poses, dead. Japan and England are
building ships on a vast scale, and
