With consistent dimming of head

avoided, the Division predicted, and
night driving will be safer and more
pleasant.

the demands made upon the
member in connection with
travel in the district and trips
to Washington for the most part
exceed the allowance made.
OF course a Congressman
could sit down and refuse to
meet the demands to travel his
district in keeping appointments
and finding out what his people
want. And If he did sit down
the chances are he'd look for

there are some rare cases where
they get by with it.
Secretaries are the most dis
organized group Of Government
employees. That's why they get
little consideration while other
groups are able to push their leg
iSlation through Congress.
That's why they've been so long
getting a retirement bill. Con-
gress apparently hasn't thought
of bargaining collectively with
its own secretaries in connection
with mileage.
Some wiseacres recently said,
in connection with mileage for
secretaries, that they knew be-
fore they took the jobs that
there would be no mileage. Sure,
and working under an Admins

S[oGO Democracy

If Congress can't get insults

must have something when he
says that no amount of in
competent legislators can take
the place of one able leader.
Furthermore. if 100000 tele-
grams can scare out Of their
boots q number of lawmakers
whose election required a total
of more than 100000 votes,
then again the theory that a

Open Letter to Ford


To Henry Ford:
Your visit to- the Capital
caused a great deal Of comment.
The press Of the nation gave
great space to your visit. For
the sun is no sooner risen with
a burning heat, but it withereth
the grass, and the flower thereof
falleth and the grace Of the
fashion of it perisheth; so also
shall the rich man fade away
in his ways.
The automobile business is
being headed for the junk pile.
We have an overproduction Of
pleasure. I have been told you
have not given one cent for char
ity. I knew you would not COM
ment on the visit to the Presi-
dent. Your system OF thought
possesses little or no practical
value, and superficial knowl-
edge more for victory than truth,
make the worse appear the bet
te' reason.
Mr.. Roosevelt is doing just
what Proverbs" predicted. hun
dTeds of years ago: "He by
usury and unjust gain increase
his substance shall gather it for
him who pity the poor" or "he
who gets riches and not by right
will lose them in the end of his
days and be a fool"
You may as well get on the
bandwagon and be sure you
are footing righteous horn, for
righteousness is due to rule the
world Before destruction the
heart of man is naughty, and
before honor is humility.
