UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Having paid more than a million
dollars in benefits to workers VINO
have recently lost jobs, the Mary
land Unemployment Compensation
Board has taken up the unpleasant
task of proceeding against thosY
delinquent employers who are be-
hind in the payment of the contribu-
lions required by law or in making
the payroll reports due quarterly
The law provides a minimum penalty
of $40 day, and each day is i
separate offense for which a fine eau
be imposed.
A list Of delinquents has been
completed and assessments will be
made in accordance with the Law
The number of deliquents has not
been announced. 1t is possible that
some of those who have not filed
their payroll reports do net realize
the Importance of doing so promptly.
These reports are used by the Board
in verifying the claims of workers
for benefits. 1t is the Boards job to
see to the correctness of the amount
of benefits paid
To date the Board has made col
lections without recourse to legal
procedure but the limit of leniency
has been reached. The waiting
period for employers has ended.
Reports from employers of four to
seven persons continue to come in.
The law requires all to report and it
Is the business Of the Board to de-
termine liability. Payments of bens-
fits to the new groups-four to
seven--will begin on July / of this
year.

"pEATH BEGINS AT 40"

"Too much speed and too little
courtesy" are shown to be the basic
reasons for Americas shameful auto
mobile accident record in 1887. A
booklet entitled Death Begins at 40,
and issued by the Travellers Insur-
ance Company, presents a complete
analysis of the traffic accidents in
the forty-eight states last year.
While they use the sentence,
Death Begins at 4O," as the title
OF this booklet. the editors do not
approve forty miles per hour or any
other fixed speed as top limit.
There are times, as in heavy traffic
or fog" they point out, when thirty
miles an hour Is suicidal; other
times when fifty miles an hour seems
reasonable. Every driver should
know, however, that if he does have
an accident it is more likely to mean
death If he is going fast"
A review of the reports of 10000
fatalities and 1,221,O9O injuries
shows, for instance, that if one has
an accident while driving under
forty an hour, there is one chance
In forty-four that somebody will be
killed, and IL driving faster than
forty, there is one chance in nine
teen that somebody will be killed.
The booklet contains other fea-
lures based on a scientific analysis OF
the automobile accidents in the for
ty-eight states during 1887, among
which are "stop-ability" at various
speeds and durability" at various
speeds and angles of curves.
A features of the booklet is the
emphasis placed on the need for
courtesy on the highway.
The Travellers Insurance Company
expects to distribute 100000 cop
les of Death Begins at 40 during
1898, in the interest of street and
highway safety. Single copies or
quantities may be had free by writ
ing the company, Hartford, Conn.,, or
applying locally to any of its agents.

THE PRESIDENTS NEWSPAPER
ARTICLES
BY Charles Nicholson

Some of my colleague columnists
have been in serious state of mind
concerning the sale to newspapers
to the prefaces to these books than
velt's notes in connection with the
books that are to be issued contain
ing his messages to Congress, an
nouncements OF policies, and the
speeches he has made 1t Is presum-
ed that these notes appertain more
to the prefaces to these books than
to their official contents. However,
it has been formally announced that
The proceeds of this sale would be
devoted to some unnamed useful
public purpose.
Obviously, the administration
critics must find it difficult to critic
ize that disposition of the proceeds
of these syndicated articles, accord
ing to their sacred tenet that what
ever the President does must be
wicked. So they questioned the YER
acity of the statement.
1t might seem obvious that the
checks would come to the President.
1t might seem equally obvious that
ne would devote them to such publ,
purpose as he thought best. But
such an obvious explanation never
occurred to such intelligent COM
mentators as Mr.. Frank Kent, or Mr..
David Lawrence.
Now it runs in my mind that
President Harding was owner of the
Marion Star, which earned him $42,-
900 the year before he came to the
White House. This big profit was
largely because of his candidacy and
the general belief that he would be
elected. His first year in the Presi-
dency lifted his income from the
little country paper to $4,000
After time, the newspaper was sold
to group at a price which was
rather astonishing in the light OF
the Marion Stars normal circulation
and position in the newspaper world
Among the terms of that sale was
provision that President Harding
would receive $4,000 a year for
fifteen years for column weekly
column, If l recall correctly-whicn
would naturally be syndicated. Sc
that the $4,000 fee could not be
considered in any way exorbitant.
l do not recall that any of the
columnists, now so caustic in their
comments, found the slightest fault
with President Harding for contract
ing to write a current column while
he was in the White House. In fact
It was apparent to all newspaper
men that the $535,O00 purchase
price paid for the Marion Star was
due to the well-founded belief thai
the publication of such a column by
the President would give vast pre-
stige to the paper and perhaps re-
suit in such syndicate profits from
the distribution Of that column as to
justify the big price. So, according
to the philosophy of the anti-Demo-
Observation-Disclosures columnists, II
was quite according to Hoyle for a
Republican President to do the stunt
even though there was no sug-
gestion that any part Of these pre-
fits would go to charity or public
service-but it is absolutely invidi-
Gus for a Democratic President to
sell his words appertaining to clos
ed episodes.

u. S. Should Cultivate
All Latin America
Continued from Page cne.y
Our Businessmen's Fault.

Our BuSineSsmen'S Fault.
In great part our businessmen were
largely to blame.
They reckoned that they had mar
kets enough elsewhere and didn't need
to bother with Latin Americas. Even
if they did happen to have an oc-
casional surplus they wanted Latin
Americans to take what they had on
hand, it was; unadapted to Latin Am
erican requirements.
Illustratively:
Latin American rural roads mainly
are the trails of two-wheeled carts,
with wheels about six feet in diam
eter These wheels dig deep cutters,
with a high ridge between them. Our
average automobile hasn't sufficient
clearance to navigate such deep hol-
lows. The axles simply straddle the
hump, with the wheels spinning help
lessly ',
Did our manufacturers pay any att
E=tention to this difficulty? They did
not-with the exception of Fords,
which accidentally to happen to have
pretty high clearance.
European makers came, took a
look, saw the point and built their
Latin American auto accordingly. Ma
turally they got the bulk Of the bust
ness.
There are Yankee exceptions. The
International Harvester Company,
the Singer Sewing Machine Company
some of the typewriter companies and
few others have the intelligence to
meet local demands-but not many
of us.
The World Wars end offered us
our grand good chance. Europe, from
which the Latins had been in the
habit of getting nearly all of their
manufactured stuff, was flat on its
back. We were all keyed up to maxi
mum production. They bought from
US or went without We could have
grabbed all that trade and kept it.
But we still baked at giving them
what they wanted Of course, then,
our rivals have worlned back all their
oid business. N..,
Hoover Saw 1t.
President Hoover was our frs
statesman to sense this situation. On,
fortunately he hasn't what the Latins
call sympathetic personality" He
meant well but wasn't the kind the
Latins respond to. Guided by DR..
Rowe, President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary of State Hull do seem to have
the requisite quality. They did re
markably well at the last Pan-Amer-
can conference in Buenoes Aires.
Maybe they'll do yet better at Lima.
It's an uphill fight, but we're pro
crossing upward.
We have one advantage.
Traditionally the Latin republics arc
democratic.
They have their dictatorial streaks.
Baslcaily they are liberal.
Nazi-ism and Fascism have been
promptly squelched' in Brazil, Chile
md Argentina.
What we need, of course, is real
an-Amcrican Union.
