PLEA FOR SAFE
 | DRIVING MADE
Gov. Baldwin Calls Atten- ton to Resolutions By
 Public Officials

A plea for safe driving was made last night by Gov Raymond E. Bald- win in his weekly radio address. Cit- ing the fact that Connecticut has had 10,S66 traffic accidents this year, he urged that each driver op- crate his car safely and sanely.
 State Police Commissioner Ed ward J Hickey was a guest of the governor on the program and said that the state police were doing their utmost to reduce accidents, but needed the cooperation of the public,
 Both the governor and MT. Hickey criticized the fixing" of traffic tick cts and summonses. The governor called attention to two resolutions adopted at a meeting last week of city and town officials and police authorities of the state.
 Number One: "Be 1t resolved-- That 1t is the sense of all those attending this meeting that they do all that they can to stop the practice of fixing tickets of inter-
 fering with charges concerning violations of the motor vehicle laws, and that those present will not be a party to any attempt to dismiss or change any charge for a violation of the motor vehicle laws, and further, that the coop eration of all law enforcing of ficers be urged to carry out the purpose of this resolution"
 Number Two: "Be 1t reSolVed-. That 1t is the sense of this meet ing that the arresting officers charge for a violation of the motor vehicle laws be not changed ex- cept in open court and the reasons therefore stated, and further, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Assembly of Judges of the minor courts and to the Assembly of trial justices"

Commission Again
Questions Intent
of'Tux Leuguers'
Auditing Division Receives
Severe Criticism In
League Report

Columbus, GA report and three
point recommendation of the "Citi-
zens' Tax League of Ohio" to Cover
nor John w. Bricker last week urged
changes in the auditing division and
continued to attack the administra-
ton of the workmen's compensation
law by the Industrial Commission.
The Leagues" second report pro-
voked a general explanation of the
problems confronting the Commission
by Commission Chairman John w.
Beall, who also asked the League"
several pertinent questions.
Severe criticism of the auditing d.
vision of the Commission was made
by the League" in it's second report,
which charged that "there is little evil
dence of effort" on the part of former
or present members of the Commission
"to cure the glaring deficiencies which
have been repeatedly brought to their
attention"
The League" recommended:
That the personnel of the auditing
division be reorganized to eliminate
incompetent employees" and that the
burden of routine detail be removed
from the auditor.
That recognized public accounting
firm be employed to make detailed
survey of the entire accounting sys-
tenn and office routine of the audit
ing division and that a modern audit
ing system be installed.
That reallocation Of the office
space and layout of the division be
effected.
Chairman Beall, in replying for the
Commission, declared that moderniza-
tion of the auditing division had been
sought by the Commission "long be-
fore 1884," but succeeding legislatures
did not provide the means to permit
installation of modern equipment.
"The budget commission of the
present Legislature struck out the en-
tire request Of the Industrial Commits
sion for additions and betterments
during the present biennium," Chair
man Beal said. ain addition, the leg
islature reduced the appropriations for
administration purposes during this
biennium in an amount of $1S1, ,COC
less than the actual expenditure of
the past biennium."
"Why does not the Citizens Tax
League direct its criticism against the
real cause of the situation?" Chair
man Beall continued to question:
"Why does not the Tex League, even
at this belated date, see to it that
funds are made available for carrying
out improvements which have long
ago been recommended by the Com
mission and approved by various
committees ?"
He concluded: "Or, would it be in
consistent with the Citizens Tax
Leagues announced purpose of "sav-
ing money for the taxpayers" regard
less Of what sacrifices are made in
service, if they were to bend their eff
forts towards securing the necessary
moneys to make these needed improve
ments?"

Information On.
Social Security

Editors Note:-This is the fifth in
series of questions and answers re-
lating to the amended Social Security
Act. Questions on this subject will be
answered direct if addressed to this
newspaper or to Edwin " Faulhaber,
manager Of the Social Security Board
field office, Erie Terminal building,
Youngstown, Ohio.
Question.-1s it possible for a man
who became 65 before the social Sc
curity amendments were adopted to
qualify for monthly benefits under the
new program of old-age and survivors,
insurance
Answer.-Yes, it is. Take the case
of man who became 65 in January,
1888. During the preceding years he
earned 500 month. Since 1888 he
has earned $75 month. He plans to
retire January l, 1910.
Question-What would be the basis
on which the monthly benefits of this
individual would be figured?
Answer-On his average monthly
wages. His wages amounted to 81 200
in 1887. His wages for 1888 are not
counted, since there were earnings
after the age IS and before 1899, when
the amendments were adopted. His
earnings will amount to 5000 in 1899,
making total of 81, 100 for the period
during which his employment was
covered. This is an average Of about
$50 a month.
Question-Now if this man retired on
January /, 1910, and filed a claim for
benefits, what amount would he re-
ceive?
Answer-Between 500 and $25 a
month. This is figured as follows: He
will receive 40 per cent Of the first $50
of average monthly earnings plus ten
per cent Of the additional sum earned
in this case. To this will be added an
additional two per cent of the total
as the man was employed during two
years.
Question-Will there be an addition
al benefit if he has wife who is at
least 65 years of age?
Answer-Yes, the wife's benefit will
be half Of that her husband receives.
If his benefit is figured at $24 month
she will be entitled to $l2 in addition,
making a combined monthly payment
of $50 in this case.
Question-In all cases the monthly
benefits increase as the average wage
and the number of years served in
covered employment increases?
Answer-That is true. The Maxi
mum benefit is just the same as in the
old schedule, namely $s5 month, for
an individual who has served in en-
ployment covered by the old-age and
survivors insurance program.
Question-When may claims for
these benefits be filed?
Answer-That is now being de-
termined. 1t will be in ample time to
permit covered workers to receive all
the benefits to which they are en-
titled under the enlarged social Sc
curity program which goes into effect
January |, 1910.

Teachers Union To
Oppose Stare Board
Of Education Plan
Four Reasons For Opposi.
ton To Constitutional
Amendment
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Cleveland, O.-Opposition to a con-
stitutional amendment proposing a
State Board of Education, to be voted
on at the Ohio general election No
vember 7, was announced last week
by the Ohio State Federation of
Teachers, AF'L affiliate, through it's
executive secretary, Michael j. Eek,
Cleveland.
Pointing out that the Teachers
Union "for long has advocated State
Board of Education," the statement
announcing the organizations oppo-
sition to the proposed constitutional
amendment listed four principal OBJ
jections to the provisions of the
amendment.
"We are convinced that Ohio has
nothing to gain by the enforcement of
this amendment" the Unions state
ment declared. "On the other hand,
we believe that it would be back
ward step, and definite threat to
democratic education in the state"
The following reasons for opposition
to the amendment were listed:
Il. Ihe language is too general. 1t
does not provide a single constitution
al safeguard. No mention is made of
the number of members to be selected,
the term of office or the method of Sc
lection. No restriction of limitation
is made on the powers and duties of
the board.
"2. The proposal that members Of
the board must serve without COM
pensation is particularly dangerous.
To restrict the field of choice to
wealthy and well-to-do is most un-
democratic. The approval of this con-
ception of the so-called "high-minded
citizens" would insure two things: a

La Guurdiu Renews
War on WPA Cuts
Restoration Of the Prevailing
Wage Necessary. Says
N. Y. Muyor

New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS).-
Mayor F. H. La Guardia announced
that he was continuing his efforts to
persuade the Works Projects Admin
istration to restore prevailing wage
rates on projects in New York City,
particularly the North Beach Airport.
Pointing out that Attorney General
Frank Murphy recently ruled that
prevailing wages may be restored in
certain instances at the discretion of
Col. F. c. Harrington, National WPA
Commissioner, Mayor La Guardia
said he had informed Col. Harrington
that the strategic Importance of the
North Beach Airport as bulwark of
national defense and the large invest
ment which New York City has in
the airport warranted the restoration
Of prevailing wage rates. The esti
mated cost Of constructing the air
port is $4O,0O0,000, Of which New
York City has supplied 40 per cent.
The Building and Construction
Trades Council of New York City, an
affiliate of the American Federation
of Labor, which withdrew it's members
from WPA projects here when the
abolition Of the prevailing wage went
into effect the first of last July, re-
solved at meeting at it's headquar-
ters here to continue the walkout.
Thomas A. Murray, president of the
council, said that A. F. of l.. officials
were encouraged in their stand for
the restoration Of prevailing wages
by the recent ruling of Mr.. Murphy.

IF AND BUT DEPARTMENT

We were caught off guard early in
the week when Doc Crumbly came
rambling in the office all smiles. We
had the feeling he should be in ter
rible humor after watching eleven Of
his pet teams go down to defeat out
Of the 81 games he picked. But no
he reminded US that he had stated
that the lndianalowa game would be
the closest of the day. 1t must have
been the all-time champion as far as
thrillers are concerned. The first
quarter ended with Indiana out front
1O-7, but it was 2O-l7 in favor Of
Iowa at the half. Three-quarters
through it was 1920, Indiana and
ended 1929, Iowa.
1t is necessary. to make quick re-
vision of power over the football map.
Southern Cal on the coast may be the
far vests best, but hasn't thing on
Oregon or U. c. l.. A. at this writing.
Northwestern suffered shocking
23-0 defeat while rolling up some 235
yards more than did Oklahoma. The
power is there, but fumbles and a lack
of polish made the Wildcats look bad.
The Big had a large day as it sent
two Of it's best teams to victory over
Big 10 clubs. Nebraska also blew
over a good Minnesota team In addi-
tion to the Sooners fine bid.
Holy Cross and Fordham in the east
were clawed by southern giants leav
ing Pitt appearing to be just about
as good as any in the east. Just like
old times.
Of the preseason favortes for
national honors, only Tennessee and
Michigan look real good and neither
of these teams can boast a very
healthy schedule. Carnegie Tech won
its game against Temple, but was
pressed and Notre Dame got by with
field goal once more. 1t might be
that Layden is following in the foot
steps Of Rockne and is saving the ex-
plosion for top notch team, but that
is hardly likely.
