Paragraph Opinions
They Pick On Motorists

A nationwide investigation con-
Quoted by the United States Bureau Of
Public Roads discloses that only 4.32
per cent of the county's 25,300,000
passenger automobiles are owned by
families with an income exceeding
$4,000 annually.
Another disclosure recently made is
that the slower a car is operated the
more economical the operation. Aside
from the hazard of high speed, it costs
more in gasoline consumption.
Figures obtained by the Government
show that driving on concrete pave
ments at 40 miles per hour, gasoline
consumption is COSTS gallon per mile,
At 60 miles per hour, it is O.082 gallon
per mile. With gasoline at 10 cents
per gallon the cost per mile would in
crease from LOB to LAT cents per mile,
or a cost of o. cent per mile higher for
the high speed, just for gasoline.
Ownership of cars is conferred in low
income groups, with more than half Of
all family cars owned by families with
an annual income of $1,000 or less.
The temptation to add to motorists
tax burdens is very common among
legislators. Motor car owners are al
ready contributing more than their
share.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY

In these days when democracy is be-
ing forced to take stock Of her resour-
ces, lovers Of human freedom will read
with encouragement the releases from
the annual report of the American
Bible Society, whose 123rd annual
meeting has just been held and whose
sole purpose for century and a quar-
ter has been to make the Bible avail
able to all men of all nations, how
ever little they may have with which
to purchase it. Wherever this great
book has been seriously read human
freedom has fourished and democratic
institutions have been born.
Earl Baldwin, in an address at To-
ronto, recently expressed his belief
that Britain's disposition to attempt
the solution of the international prob
lens by honest deliberation and con-
ference roots back into generation
upon generation of Bible reading by
the people of England. Even in the
face Of the dictator's edict the Bible
outsold Mein Kampf in Germany last
year by 100000 copies. Latin America
for whose trade and friendship dicta-
tors are strenuously bidding, has a
hunger for the Scriptures that is APP
parently Unsuitable.
China with all her appalling needs
bought more complete Bibles from the
Society than ever in her history. Japan

In a contest between the old Hay

rifle team, at the latter's city, the Oak
land team was defeated by four points.
The Haymakers scored STA; Frost

was the first defeat for the lawmakers
in it's history, but Capt. P. A. CHS

There exist two alternatives for Mr..
Roosevelt in 1910. One is that he will
support the ticket-at least on the
surface-no matter how disgruntled
his radical friends may feel. The other
is that in the event of the nomination
of an anti-New Deal conservative, he
will either lead or support a third
party ticket.
These are the only logical courses
open to him. Neither will prevent him
from doing what he has indicated he
plans to do-namely, devote himself
to profitable political writing after
1871, thus keeping in position to have
another go at the Presidency in 1914,
when the third-term issue cannot be
made. Either of these alternatives
make sense. The idea of demanding"
the Democratic nomination does not.
1t makes even less sense when one
considers that the demand" has al,
ready been made for him by Mr.
Browder, head of the Communist
party

e. Scouting Builds Character


For a number of years the Oakland
boy scouts have had use of a camp
ing site on Deep Creek Lake which
was made available by the generosity
of five men of Oakland Funds for
building a barracks, the dining hall,
and cook house were contributed by a
number of citizens.
This camp site is now owned by
three of the five original owners and
they have assured the present scout
leaders that the site is available to
them as long as there is active scout
ing in Oakland. Oakland scouts are
still active and most Of them will
want to go to camp again this year.
However, there is some needed ra-
pair to be done before any camping is
possible and it's going to take $3.50
and possibly more to put a floor in
the barracks, build new cook shack
and screened dining room combined.
A new stove and new ticks for the
hunks are also needed.
Former scouts and citizens of Oak
land are being asked to raise this
amount. Scouting has directly in
fuenced, since it's organization in
1924, more than $50 boys who have
been members of the troop, and has
probably influenced as many more who
have been in contact with the orga-
nization. They are better young men
and men for having been boy scouts.
The scout organization is entitled to
assistance by the citizens of town.

Mrs. Roosevelt wrote:
THE question is, if you be-

approve of an action which is
typical Of a policy, should you
resign or is it better to work for
a changed point Of view within

WASTE, WASTE EVERY
WHERE, RUINOUS DIES
TRUCTIVE, TERRIBLE!
(By Bernarr McFaddcn in
"Liberty.'0

We are an eXtravagant PEG
pie. Waste is the order of til,
d a V. Colossal expenditure:
which do not in any way repre-
sent stable investments are
clearly apparent in many part:
of the country.
We are not only facing The
cost of this hugs unnecessary
expense, but the youth of the
country has been demoralized
emasculated, by this unnecEs-
sary squandering of the nations
wealth. ........
Relief has been extended in
many sections in such a prOdiga,
manner that many families are
receiving an income far greater
than they ever earned before.
Such imprudent expenditures
are bound to end in disaster.
There is only one way to learn
the value of mney, and that is to
be compelled to earn it and to
save it for future needs or for
the building up of a fund For
carrying out plans for living
a life of achievement.
And when we realize that the
billions of dollars spent by the
Washington government iii the
last few years have been handled
by men who have had little or no
experience in building fortunes
of their own, you can well realize
the costly errors that must have
been made with such amateurs
in charge.
Previous to the Presidents
election to his high office he very
clearly indicated that relief
should be in the hands Of the off
Gals of each state. There was no
thought at that Time that many
billions would be donated by the
congress to be spent at the
Presidents dictation.
There is only one intelligent
procedure in handling relief
with a reasoable degree of eco
nomy. Local communities should
have entirec barge of relief ex-
penditures, and the officials who
are handling this money should
not be paid employees; their
services should be donated ......
they should give their services
to the needy they should
work because of their interest
in feeding the hungry, and for
every dollar spent should be de
voted to the purpose for which
it was donated.
If such a procedure had beer
adopted, the amount of money
spent for relief would probably
have been reduced so or Is pei
cent. .......
In some sections of the coun
try, although there may be hun
| lreds of thousands Of unemploy
ed, jobs often go begging anC
farmers and industriaists ar,
often unable to secure worker
because of the competition o
charity jobs and the dole. Sue
