WHAT THE FIRE INSURANCE
INDUSTRY DOES

Today the average rate for stock
fire insurance is 40 per cent lower
than il was i'm 1905. Back of that
fact, which means saving of mill
lions of dollars to pOlicyhOlders each
year. is a long and dramatic story
of unremitting work by capital stock
fire insurance companies TO make
homes and factories safe from the
Fifth HOrseman, fire.
This work hasn't been widely pub
licized-but il deserves a big book
in which to detail its achievements.
Your fire and water departments are
better equipped and trained because
the stock companies. through the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
cooperate closely with towns and
cities TO bring such organizations to
the highest peak of efficiency. Homes
are built safeT-because the industry
has perfected a model building code
which has been widely made into
law. Household appliances and
building materials are safer than
they used to be-because the indus
try maintains great laboratories
where all manner of things are
tested to determine their resistance
to fire. Your home is protected
against the despicable crime of arson
because the industry, cooperating
with local authorities. maintains
bureau which ferrets out incendiar-
ism. and never rests until the fnys-
terry of a suspicious fire is solved and
the guilty person is behind bars.

WHY THE CONSTITUTION

Something over eight months ago
German citizen, The Rev. Martin
Nieffoeller. an outstanding aHti-Nasi
Protestant pastor. was arrested IN
Berlin because Of his outspolSen OPP
position 10 the dictatorship OF Adolf
Hitler.
Later he was found guilty Of the
''cfinle" Of having discussed and
criticized government measures from
the pulpit He was sentenced to
seven months in prison aud a sub
stantial fine. Because he had been In
prison for a longer period awaiting
trial than that to which he was sem
fenced. he was set free. But-he was
Immediately arrested by secret police
and without trial was sent to a pri-
son concentration camp.
All too often we take our own con-
stitution and the rights 1t gives lis
too lightly.
In contrast to Germany. the Rev.
'Niemoeller under the protection of
the American Cohstitutdion would in
the first place never have been ar
rested for criticizing the government
or its acts: he would not have been
held for eight months awaiting trial
and then upon his release could not
be arrested and sent away to a prison
camp without trial. All because such
things are forbidden by our cOnstitu-
tion.

WAR CLOUDS OVER
EUROPE AND ASIA

The people of the United States

Secretary of State Hull notes

The President asked Congress for
an authorization of SS00.000,000 for

THE MODERN JUGGERNAUT

Suppose that, on a given day, we
rounded up nearly forty thousand
American men, women and children,
herded them into field. and there
proceeded to slaughter them. Sup
pose that, at the same time, we
wounded, blinded. crippled and
otherwise harmed several hundred
thousand more.
Horrible? Impossible? More bar
barrie than the barbarians? or course
it is-but, in effect, that is what
happens on American highways ev-
cry year. The slaughter doesn't Oc-
cur on a single day, but over 1865
days. And instead of killing the vic
tins with shell and rifle fire. and
gas and grenades, we use that well
known servant of mankind which
can also be a monster of destruc-
tion-the automobile.
II an airplane falls and kills ten
people the fact is headlined through
out the country and millions feel a
sense of horror. II ship sinks and
so men die, the entire world knows
it in few minutes, and worldwide
sympathy is extended to the victims
and their survivors. But when au-
tomobiles crash and people die hor-
hibly as a result, we note the fact
absently, and turn the page to the
comic strips.
Our people are criminally negli-
gent in driving automobiles. And
America is criminally complacent
in its attitude of more or less bored
indifference. toward the accident
toll.

The Job Making Industry

In testifying before the Interstat,
/ Commerce CommissiOn.-in relation
to the railroads request for increas
ed rates, Harry A. Wheeler. Presi
dent of the Railway Business AssO-
citation, gave some information Ol
I interest to every state. o.
The Railway Business Association
is composed of companies which
manufacture materials. equipment
supplies and structures used by
railroads. The Industries making up
the Association, and their employ
ees. are largely dependent on the
ability of the railroads. t9 purchase
supplies. -"
The development OF the railway
supply industry has been synony-
nous with the development of rail
transportation. The variation of
sales in the industry is vividly
shown by the drop in maintenance
and capital expenditures of railways
from an average of $4,000. .000.0 900
annually in normal years. TO a 1888
low of 1889. 100000.
Member companies Of the AssOci-
alton have SiS separate plants To-
Gated in 4OS cities and towns hav-
ing a population of less than 100000.
This is in addition to a large num-
ber of important plants located in
metropolitan areas. In some places
the plants offer practically the sole
opportunity for industrial employ
mcnt.
Mr.. Wheeler showed by facts and
figures the vast amount of equip
ment that railways need to buy ir,
through favorable rates. they could
gradually re-establish their credit
and again make normal eXpendi-
lures for materials. supplies and de-
rerred maintenance. This would
constitute the greatest single source
Of concentrated buying and widely
diifused employment that could he
put into effect. 1t would revive con-
fidence and broadly serve the public
interest.
II is an ironical fact that those
who object most strCnuOusly to-
railroad rate increases. no matter
how necessary and reasonable, are
often the manufacturers and pro-
ducers who have made the sharpest
advances in the prices of their own
commodities because of precisely
the same economic conditions that
are so gravely affecting the rail-
roads.

WORKING FOR THE
OTHER FELLOW

In recent address, w. e. MALTA
lieu, general manager of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters,
wildly described what fire insurance
is doing for the other fellow.
I'VE find that stock fire compan-
les were partners in every enterprise
that went into the making of the
natiOn,7 he said. "The railroads
pioneered in extending the old from
tiers to the waters of the Pacific, but
stock company fire insurance made
this possible by the stabilization Of
industry and the guaranteed protec-
tien of the communities which war
ranted new railroads.
Gas first, then electricity re-
placed kerosene and remOdeled our
ways of living and doing business.
but stock fire insurance was the si-
lent partner in these changes, paving
the way and directing the new order
along lines of maximum safety.
"Steel reforged America into indus
trial leadership-again with the sup
porting arm of stock company hre
insurance without which capital
simply could not have ventured inUo
the new enterprise.
"Aviation is today changing our
horizons. This expansion is helped
materially by the backing of sound
and adequate sapital stock fire in
suTance.
Starting out on the farm and
coming all the way through every in
dustrial and commercial enterprise.
you will find stock company fire in
surance in the same dependably
close relationship which gave sta
bility to the credit and commercial
activities of the nation since its
birth"
Today. as yesterday, stock fire in
surance is the mainstay of CONNER
cial and private credit. 1t doesn't
toot its own horn to any great eX- /
tent. but few industries have contri- |
buted as much that is Indispensable
to Our modern American civilization.

Remedy Within Ourselves

After one has read all the fine
sunn theories of politicians and po-
litical planners who confuse the
masses with economic fairy tales
while they slyly promote 'authori-
tartan" doctrines, It is reassuring
to read a statement like the follow
ing by James ID. Hunter. President
of the Bank OF California. which has
guarded the savings of its depositors
for "A years. when asked regarding
the present economic situation, Mr..
Hunter said:
I'VE are living in very trying
period. AS a people we have come
to think of the dollar as a thing OF
itself rather than what it will buy.
A substantial reduction lin produc-
tion costs, with industrial peace,
would create more employment and
give such a greater relative purehas-
ing power as to far outweigh the
seeming temporary loss. Honest
work is the best answer to our
grief. When working, we haven't
time to think Of what, in idleness,
seems trouble.
what does it profit an industry
or a labor group to get prices up to
the point of diminishing returns, If
a great mass of people have to go
on short rations? II is neither eco
nomically nor morally right. think
the question will answer itself. in
the fact we have approximately
1870. .OOO. 900 people who must be fed.
clothed and housed. and the weight
of their numbers will bring about a
proper adjustment as soon as they
realize what it is all about"

IT CAN BE DONE


Last year, trafic accidents in thii
country claimed 39.700 llves-a
per cent rise over 1896. Yet, In spils
of Increased highway travel. q
states cut their death tolls. The total
Increase in highway slaughter was
due entirely to the other 28 states
where fatalities increased by 10 per
cent.
The 20 states which made a start
toward solving the automobile traf-
fic problem, weren't "just lucky" In
the great majority of cases. their
comparatively good records were
the result Of hard. efficient work.
They actually earned the savings in
lives and dollars that reduction in
motor accidents involves.
What tools are ready at hand with
which to cut down the automobiles
toll? The answer is simple enough.
First on the list comes unremitting
public education-by schools. by
civic groups, by governmental bu-
reaus. Second, honest law enforce
ment under modern highway codes
and that means that every appre-
hended violator of the statutes must
be punished quickly and fairly, that
pull" and ticket-fixing must be
eliminated. Third, improvement and
better lighting of streets and roads.
and elimination of accident prone"
locations. are preventers of death.
This doesn't exhaust the list by
any means-but these "musts" are
vital TO any workable accident pre-
vention endeavOr. The 20 states that
cut deaths last year are to be con-
graduated. Let them repeat this
year-and let the other 2S states
follow suit. II can be done.

PEACE ON THE PACIFIC

When ten thousand persons of one
nation gather together to cheer their
approval of a suggestion for peace
compact with another country II is
news of a most welcome and unusu-
al nature. Yet that is what happen
cd in Toxic recently when the gov
ernment called the first of a series
of Japan-American friendship meet
ings.
Coming at time when the cables
are carrying disquieting news from
all corners OF the earth, this ami
cable gesture in Japan for warm
er friendship with us is highly
significant incident and one that
NAV well lead to a new and closer
understanding between the United
States and Japan.
The rOkio meeting, prompted by
the government as test of popular
sympathy for an anti-war pact to
link the two nations. was addressed
by many influential Japanese and
closed with ten thousand voices
shouting their approval of a res0iu-
tiOn declaring lit is a source of pro-
found satisfaction to the Japanese
people that ever since the outbreak
Of the Chinese-Japanese incident the
government and people of the Unit
ed States despite an anti-Japanese
boycott engineered by Communists
staunchly have maintained a calm
and strictly impartial attitude"
TIE assemblage declared its prom
Use to endcavor to deepen the un-
uerstanding and advance the cordial
relations between Japan and Amer
ica and Thereby to contribute to the
peace of the world and the welfare
nf mankind"
Apparently this is the first step in
a concerted effort by Japan to I'M
prove relations between our conn
tries and as such is deserving OF
warm reception in the United States.
No doubt the Toxic mass meetings
and the other assemblagcs to follow
will do much to demonstrate con
cIusiveIy the fact that the Japanese
peOp1e have only the friendliest
feelings toward us.
The forceful expression Of friend /
shin is one that may well mark an
important milestone in orr interna- /
tional affairs The Japanese are evil

HOW OLD is YOUR MIND!

I'm olden times there existed great
fears of epidemics and eclipses.
Short distances seemed far away to
most people. The tales of ancient
mariners returning from their long
voyages sounded like fairy tales. II
our own North and South had known
one another as they do in our pres
cut times where scientific means OF

into intimate contact the Civil War
would have been impossible.
Now, everybody knows his dis
tances" and messages go around the
world with little regard for minutes
or seconds.
The popular philOpher-scientist
Charles F. Kettering regards types
of minds as the real keys to pro-
gress. Celebrating on the "old'' and
young" type of mind he estimates
the ratio to he about 10000 TO ] IN
favor Of the old mind.
throughout the generations
majority of the people have lived in
the past rather than investing their
thoughts and efforts toward the mar
veIous possibilities of the future.
Mr.. Kettering said "Why. even when
the very earliest Egyptian tablets
were unearthed and translated, 1t
was found the Egyptians were COM
nIaining about conditions and the
high cost of living and even then
were yearning for the good old
days. "
The possibilities of future scien-
tific progress in new industries is
