THE DUTY OF ADULTS
TO PRESERVE LIFE

It was Wednesday morning. There was
only the usual traffic on the San Diego
highway. Cars were coming from both
directions, but nobody was speeding.
Then suddenly, out of a driveway and
straight across the road whirled a lad
of about eight years, mounted proudly
on a bicycle that was obviously a Christ
mas present to him. He looked neither
to left nor to right.
A driver coming from the right ground
down on the brake, sWerved his car to
one side, and barely grazed the bicycle
riding youngster His machine went into
the ditch Another driver coming from
the left, swerved far out of the road to
avoid an accident Both drivers leaped
out.
The boy was unhurt.
White faced at the narrow margin by
which death had been averted, the first
driver spoke words of warning to the
boy. The lad listened, mounted his BIZ
cycle again. and dashed back across the
road.
And again he did not look for oncOm-
ing traffic Another car, travelling west,
missed him narrowly.
A maximum of ten lives might have
been lost there, counting drivers and
passengers in the first two cars, and the
boy himself.
Every day in FL Centre, and in other
Imperial Valley towns, some such drama
is enacted 1t is not always so close to
death, yet death is always close when
carelessness rides on wheels, whether on
bicycles or motor cars.
The carelessness of youth on bicycles
is no less dangerous because it is entire
ly innocent The unseeing gaiety of
youngster may be just as fatal as the
gross negligence of an adult.
SO it is that adults who give children
bicycles should teach them, too, the pri-
mary facts of safety-and then see
that the rules are observed.
Taught early in life to drive safely,
boy or girl will carry that teaching
through the years, and it is highly likely
that in their cases there will be far more
years, too
1t should be made a matter of pride
to every youngster who rides bicycle
to know and observe the rules of safety
and it should be matter of course
that parents will teach the rules.

An Economist S
Viewpoint
By john T. Flynn

A body known as the Social Sc
curity Advisory Council is reported
ready with some Communications
about the old age contributory PEN
sionS system.
The session of Congress nears.
And when the lawmakers sit down
with the nations troubles, old age
pensions are going to be among
the first to be considered.
1t is a very serious moment for
those genuinely concerned about
the problem of the aged
How to care for those who be-
come too old to be useful in our
highly geared industrial system is
a delicate and difficult problem.
It calls for the utmost eXertion OF
whatever informed, expert expert
ence there is.
This is an insurance problem.
And there are men. who know a
good deal about that and about
social security in this country.
The whole subject, however, has
fallen into the hands of politicians.
Men and women over 65 have votes.
And everywhere politicians are
playing with this problem to get
the votes of the aged.
If ever there was what Mr.. Hoo
yer called a case of playing with
human misery" this is one.
1t must be conceded this is q
difficult problem to the admins
tration. 1t may be forced to make
unWise concessions.
This consideration would be easier
for the administration if it had
not itself been guilty of using the
old age pension system as a finan-
cial football and of introducing
into it one of the most grotesque
schemes in public finance ever
known in the history of this coun-
try.
This is the plan to create a re-
serve of AZ billion dollars Ito re-
leye future generations of the great
load of social security 1t was the
attacks ON this plan which led TO
the consideration of the subject by
so-called Advisory Council on So
cial Security.
One of its recommendations is
that pensions in the earlier years
of the system should be increased
Certainly the pensions which are
to be paid to those who arrive at
the retirement age before 1856
should be enlarged.
The council is said to be ready
to recommend a change in the eX-
horbitant rates charged under the
act to employers and employees.
II the rates are continued unit
1912 at the present level, nearly
five billion dollars will be collected
in excess of the needs Of the sys-
tenn.
There seems to be no reason why
the whole subject of the rate
should not be re-eXamined ant
changed now to tighten the loat
of employers and workers.

WE PLANNED IT
THAT WAY
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
If we ever have to go to war, let's
hope it won't be over Harold Ickes.
ANY way you look at it, there's some
thing phoney about the present "interna-
tional crisis" involving the United States
and Germany Our secretary of the in

only this time it is aimed at Germany
instead of the usual assortment of Amer

quently. He does include a couple of
Americans, however, Henry Ford and
Col. Lindbergh. Germany Immediately
protests. We even refuse to listen to
the protest. The Germans get their heads
together. The newspapers under control
of the Nazis rave There is talk of break
in international relations. On our side,
Chairman Pittman of the senate foreign
relations committee adds that nobody
likes the governments of Germany and
Japan, anyway.
And.all of this happens just before the
President is going to deliver his momen-
tous speech on ornaments, in which he
will recommend an extremely powerful
navy and air force.
Could there be any better setup for
him? One might think it was made to
order. Maybe the Germans will think
that and laugh it off, but probably not.
1t so closely resembles one of their own
setups when they are about to seize a
defenseless country that they probably
won't stop to inquire into the chain of
circumstances, but will go right along
with the international incident.
Now, of course, this is all speculation.
However, we have an adaptable Presi-
dent. He will want to be sure that ne has

borhood and l had many trying
problems in discipline. The princi-
pal of the school who supervised
my work was almost 20 years old,
totally lacking in tact and hadn't
the faintest idea how to handle
people. To my distress she sat in
my room for 3 days to observe my
work. She found fault with almost
everything l did. She criticized my
handwriting on the blackboard; she
claimed that my lessons were not
motiyated and showed lack of prep
aration: she condemned me for
being unable to hold the attention
of the pupils, and declared that
my knowledge of the subject mat
ter was weak. Some of her crltl-
ciSm made me indignant and 9TH
ers were SO petty that they MADE
me smile. Her unsympathetic atti-
tude destroyed all desire on my
part to improve. Unfortunately l

unfortunately still, 1 told her what

Then afterwards, when the teacher
was in a receptive confidential
mood, the supervisor could point
out what she lacked. This, I added
was constructive guidance. SO l
was foolish enough to tell my prin-
cipal that I thought she lacked
finesse in her criticism!
From then on, we were enemies
and I suffered from her discrimi-
nation. She never greeted me, and
on the rare occasions when she
had to speak to me, she was cold
and harsh.

CARRYING CHRISTMAS
THROUGH THE YEAR

A big meal at Christmas doesn't last
all year.
If more of us would remember that
fact throughout the twelve months OF
1889, the year would be a far happier
one for many of the poor children to
whom we attempt to bring measure OF
happiness at Yuletide.
We are too inclined to be selfish about
Christmas-for it is in a measure selfish
to turn our attention then, and then only,
to the poor little boys and girls who
might not otherwise, get any Christ
mas. The giving gives US joy, and so
pleases us.
Why not be just bit more unselfish
by carry our thoughtfulness through the
year?
1t would not be necessary to go so far
as to spoil the children by making them
charity minded. But it would give them
and ourselves great pleasure to see that
they get some attention from time to
time. if it is only the knowledge that they
are not entirely forgotten
Many people and organizations do
keep in touch with the underprivileged
children throughout the year, but we
believe there would be more happiness
if there were more of it.

It seemed as if the calendar had
slipped back a decade or so the
other day, when the papers an
nounced that the original Big
Bill"-William Hale Thompson OF
Chicago-was going to run for
mayor once more.
Big Bill used to be habit with
Chicago. The city made noble ef-
forts to conquer its craving so oft
en-, and periodically succeeded; but
each success was followed by
backsliding, somehow, and the habit
was never entirely broken.
All of this was part of that dec
ade of the gaudy '20S when al
most anything was okay. New York
blew itself to Jimmy Walker, in
that period and was quite happy
to support him-on the ground,
apparently, that if a mayor was
only picturesque enough his other
shortcomings did not matter. And
Big Bill was fully as picturesque
as Jimmy Walker, if not more SO.
His shadow boxing with the King
of England harmed no one ana
made for lots of laughs, and II
Chicago didn't mind paying Tor
him no one had any kick coming.
But this decade is different. Mel
ther the country nor any individual
city is rich enough any longer TO
be able to afford a funny man IN
high office. So Big Bills return
to the wars looks anachronistic
until you stop to reflect on one of
the queer, little-noticed laws OF
politics.
There seem to be two setups un-
der which the ubthumping dema-
COG can be elected to high office.
One is an era of happy -go-lucky
prosperity, in which the voices may
be willing to forget about serious
things and elect the man who puts
on the best show. The other Is
an era of depression and doubt
when people are ready to listen to
everything and believe anything.
SO the political clown, amusing
enough in time of high prosperity,
is something else again when times
are bad For he represents u chan
mel through which legitimate pubic
discomfort with bad conditions can
be diverted and be made to pro-
duce effects which can only make
a bad situation worse.
Like all other big cities, Chicago
today faces tremendous problems
problems which demand the most
concentrated kind of thinking on
the part of electorate and public
officials alike. All political cam
paigns under such circumstances
ought to be exercises in public edu-
cation; they ought to raise real
issues and cause extended debate
on them, so that in the end the
election may represent step to-
ward solution of the cityis troubles
But suppose such campaign is
made to hinge on an entirely eX-
traneous issue? Big Bill announces
for instance, that he will campaign
on a no-foreign-e -entanglements is
sue. That certainly is an issue
worthy of debate-but it has nc
conceivable place in a municipal
election. Raising it there can only
mean that the energy which ought
to go toward solving Chicago'I
problems will be diverted.
And that is the real harm dont

CRIME INCREi CES
IN CALIFORNIA
Oakland Tribune)

Our State Department of Criminal
Identification tells us that crime in Cali
fornia is increasing. Over last year, the
number of offenses committed is raised
by five thousand.
In the report there is challenge to
every individual, city and county. Yet 1t
may be, and the state report indicates
as much, that the appalling increase can
be laid, in large measure, to the fact
that thousands of migrants have moved
into Our area to be stranded and left deS-
perate Our separate county reports list
many crimes committed by those who
have come here from the "dust-boWP'
and other regions.
The report declares that the greatest
increase was in burglarleS, the 1888 total
being 1864 against 15,4O7 for the flrst
seven month Of the preceding year. lssu-
ance of fictitious checks and forgery also
showed a big gain, the 1888 figure beng
3484 against 31O5 for the former year.
Homicides also increased, fifty-four
persons being slain in the state TINS year
and forty-one in 1897.
Increases have been general, practical
lv every county in the state reporting
more cases, particularly in housebreak-
ing and other thievery.
The problem remains one for the state
and its separate units. 1t may also be
one associated with another issue. SO
long as other commonwealths continue
to send westward the families they re-
fuse to support, we must be prepared IN
charity and law enforcement.
