Does Not Work Right

number of businessmen gathered at dinner rec
emily to discuss parallel parking and they recon-
mend the return to angle parking on both Main
and Third Streets. Parallel parking to be effective,
must be regulated by time limits non-parking zones
and rules for double parking. None of these regula
tons have been put into effect and the result is that
some motorists find themselves in position from
which they cannot extrcate themselves without look
ing all over town for the owner owners of cars.
This happens every day under the present system Of
double parking. Another objection to parallel park
ing is that it takes away considerable amount Of
parking space in the business district where 1t is
most needed. People do not like to walk long dis
lance to buy merchandise and then carry it back
to their However, it makes no difference as
to what anyone may thing of parallel parking or
angle parking, zone may be safer parking the other
easer) thing is certain that the present system
will become more cumbersome and troublesome un-
less changes are made. The businessmens recon-
mendations should be given considerable thought,
for after all they seek to make Sank Centre better
place to live
Third Parties Fad?
Since the days of populist party third parties
have been more or less fad, and although they
caused but slight ripple the political waters Of
the nation, they still and go. Theodore Roose-
velt of the nations popular presidents, inaug.
urated the Bull Moose party and badly defeated
in the race, and William Lembke, in the last cleo
ton, very short votes in his race under the
Social Union for Justice banner. However, men are
not daunted by the failures of others and parties
exists.
Governor Philip La Toilette, of Wisconsin, has Of
fered to the electorate of the nation, the latest new
party, the National Progressive Party of America,
and has announced six basic principles of the party
New parties have not been formed entirely without
reason, and all of them have left behind prac-
tca ideas later to be adopted by either of the old
parties Governor La Follete's six basic principles
follows
First-The ownership and control of money and
credit, without qualification reservation must be
under public and not private control.
Second-The organized power Of this nation must
stop at nothing short of necessary steps to restore
to every American the absolute right to earn his
living.
Third-We believe our present governmental
system is in sad need Of undermining. One important
step is to grant the executive branch power to get
things done.
Fourth-Those who work on the farm and in the
city must be given security founded on definite
decent annual income for all.
Fifth-We fatty oppose every form of coddling, or
spoon-feeding the American people. No govern
ment earth successfully manage, regulate and
direct the numerous details that make for healthy
families successful business
Sixth-We believe our hemisphere was divinely
destined to evolve peace security and plenty 1t shall
remain inviolate for that sacred purpose.
This newly formed party is seen threat to the
New Deal and it may through a split vote be just
that From past history it may not garner the neces
sary votes to elect president but it may turn the
tide for Republican victory just the Bull Moose
party prepared the way for the election Of Woodrow
Wilson.
