GOVERNOR TO INACCURATE
MOVEMENT FOR HIGH
WAY SAFETY

Aroused by the continuing toll of
deaths and serious injuries on
streets and highways, Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor has announced
his intention of launching a move
ment to cut down to a minimum the
great number of fatalities that have
become a seemingly unavoidable
consequence of the present day
desire to keep on the move by motor.
With other citizens of the State,
the Governor declared, / am deeply
concerned over the appalling loss
of life and the increasing number OF
serious injuries, through automobile
and traffic accidents. Nothing strikes
me as more important than to pro-
mote every measure toward giving
greater security to the lives and
safety of our citizens, and l think
it incumbent upon the State to take
leadership in such an undertaking.
We have only to recall that during
1898 there were 466 deaths caused
by traffic accidents in Maryland.
refuse u UGll0FC tn1t Oil VI ehSoS
accidents were unavoidable.
1.-THE tragic proportions reached
throughout the country each year
in deaths and serious accidents
should stagger all of us into real
ization that something drastic must
be undertaken to cut down the ter
rifle toll of life, and to bring home
to our populace generally the con
viction that conditions can improve
only as we make up our minds tt
do something about them.
81 believe that if well-conceiv
ed and concerted movement were
started in Maryland to reduce the
death and accident rate on oul
highways and streets, we could eft
feet surprising results, and | pro
pose to undertake such move
ment. At an early date a Statewide
Safety Committee will be named
with representation from each coun
ty to head the County Safety Com
mittees. This Statewide COMMITTEE
will coordinate safety effort
throughout the State and seek tn
cooperation of the newspapers, tn
radio, State Departments, civic or
CARNATIONS, schools and colleges
individual drivers, bus and truck
ing companies, etc., to the end tina
every possible source of help may b
tapped to arouse the people of tn
State to the Importance and abso
lutte necessity of action if we are t.
make any Roadway against the in
creasing accident rate"

PARKING METER SYSTEM

Preliminary results in survey
conducted by the Keystone Auto
mobile Club of "motorist and mer
chant" parking meter sentiment in
dicates a to 8 preference for the
new system in communities where it
is now operating.
This is announced in an article
in the current issue of Keystone
Motorist, monthly publication of the
Club, with the comment:
SIN the light of these and similar
findings made by unbiased organiza-
tions in other sections of the cOun-
try, Keystone can see no reason to
oppose fair trial of the parking
meter system wherever it is pro-
posed by competent public officials
in an honest attempt to solve the
ever-increasing parking problem.
cat the same time the Club vigor-
ously maintains that any profit de-
rived from operation of parking
meters should be earmarked for i'm
provement of traffic conditions in
the community. Motorists have a
right to receive full value for their
money. If revenue from parking
meter operation exceeds capital ex-
penditure and cost of maintenance
the balance, in all justice, should be
devoted to effecting whatever i'm
provements are needed to increase
the safety and convenience of mo-
toring."
The to ratio of favorable senti-
ment was found in a survey which
included Washington, D. c., Allan
tic City, N. j., Wilmington, Del,
Salisbury, Md, and Harrisburg,
Shenandoah, Marcus Hook, Chester
and Upper Darby, Pa. A complete
report is being prepared which will
give in detail all the facts developed
in the clubs study.

GOVERNOR O'CONOR's STAND ON
MERIT SYSTEM

Annapolis-In statement issued
by State Employment Commission
er Harry G. Jones, Governor O'Con-
or's record and policy with regard
to the Merit System of the State was
hailed as convincing and as
notice to all concerned that the
State Employment Commissioner
will be supported in all lawful eff
forts to protect the State Classifi-
ed Service"
The statement followed a pro-
nouncement by Governor O'Conor,
in which he declared that "the facts
clearly indicate that, since ! have
been Governor, the Merit System has
been strengthened appreciably and
its scope extended. Furthermore,
Governor O'Conor added, "a brief
review of the outcome of legislation
affecting the Classified Service will
convince fair-minded persons that
the whole trend of the present Ad-
ministration has been towards sup
porting the Merit System.
Il have repeatedly stated my de-
termination to uphold the princi-
pies of the System, the Governor
concluded, land I am happy in the
realization that, contrary to prac-
tees which were restored to in past
years, the record of my administra-
ton shows that every effort has
been made to maintain the system
on the highest possible plane.
Acclaiming Governor O'Conor's
statement as "the best possible an
swer to Classified Employees and
all who are interested in the integr-
ity of the State Merit System,
and those who have expressed con-
Germ as to the future, Col Jones
went on to say:
PERSONALLY 1 have never enter
tanned the slightest doubt as to the
Governors Intentions, even during
the stormy weather" the Merit Sys-
tenn passed through during the
recent General Assembly. dealt
with him too long, as Attorney Gen.
eral, to have had any misgivings. 1t
is distinct pleasure for me to say
now, most emphatically, that never,
in the many years I have been en-
gagged in the administration of the
Merit System, either for the City or
the State, have received better CO.
operation than 1 am receiving from
Governor O'Conor."

DISTRIBUTING SURPLUS CROPS

The food stamp plan of the De-
partment of Agriculture may be-
come like the snow ball that rolled
down hill. Now it is to be extended
sas a secondary experiment" to
families not on relief, but with
total incomes of not more than
$3.50 a week.
The new plan is to be tried out
in Oklahoma where families are to
be certified by the Shawnee Cham
Der of Commerce to receive free
Government trading stamps like
those being issued to relief families
in 100 American cities. These
stamps will be accepted by Shawnee
merchants in exchange for Govern
ment-declared surplus stamps CROPS
given out through the Federal Com
modities Corporation. These surplus
crops started with cotton and few
agricultural crops, but now include
butter, eggs, cornmeal, dried prunes,
dried beans, -four, rice, cabbage,
fresh peaches, fresh tomatoes, fresh
peas and onions. The list of "sur-
pluses" is gradually extended to in
clude other commodities.

An investigation of $4,000, 900
lottery which, it is claimed, includ-
ed a fake scheme to raise funds for
a memorial to Will Rogers, the cow
boy humorist, who was killed in a
plane crash in 1885, has resulted in
an effort to indict seventy men be-
fore a Federal Grand Jury now
holding in Boston.
The United States Postal agents
who for over year have. conduct
ed the investigation under John j.
Breslin, chief of the New England
area, disclosed a lottery with head
quarters in Chicago and branches
in twenty states. Some six tons of
tickes were seized by postal inspec-
tors.
United States Attorney Edmond J..
Brandon, in presenting the case to
the Grand Jury, stated that hum
dreds of thousands of men and
women in many parts of the United
States had bought tickets at fifty
cents each, thinking that they were
helping to found the Will Rogers
Memorial Hospital.

Lovers Shrine in Avignon
Draws Thousands Yearly

That a love story 900 years old
can still cause hearts to throb is evil
denced in the great number of per-
sons who visit the sweethearts'
shrine in Avignon, France, dedi-
Gated to Laura and Petrarch, says
the New York Times.
This shrine consists of a pillar
commemorating the romance Of
Laura de Moves, the heroine Of
Petrarch's sonnets. 1t stands in the
gardens of the Calvet museum and
was erected in 1923 by Charles KEEL
sail, an Englishman, to take the
place of Laura's tomb, which was
destroyed, with the Cordeliers'
church, during the French revolu-
ton.
Laura's Pillar, as it is called, has
become favorite trysting place for
lovers in Avignon; like the tomb of
Heloise and Abelard in Paris, it is
seldom without flowers. Now and
then poem accompanies the flow
ers; it is generally a sonnet in which
some modern lover tries to initiate
Tie SyIe Oh FeLraTCn.
S0nnets Still Vibrant.
Although Laura died in 1913, and
Petrarch in 1874, his sonnets are
still vibrant with life as they tell
the story of an enduring but un-
requited love. Petrarch was q
years old when he first saw Laura,
and she was 20. Although Laura
was already married, it was love at
first sight-on his side. Whether she
ever returned his love it is not pos
sible, to say, but the chances are
she did not. Indeed, it is very doubt
full if she appreciated the sonnets
which Petrarch wrote about her.
since they brought her unwelcome
publicity and embarrassment; in ad-
dition, they excited the jealousy of
her husband, to whom, everything
indicates, she remained a model
wife. In any event, she bore him
ten children, and then died of the
plague in 1348. Seven months later
her husband re-wed.

In the story, Life credits the chief
New Dealer as having indicated that
what the Democratic Party needs
is a young man like Dewey; a man
who, for example, has the ability to
capture the national imagination as
has Dewey.
If newspaper reports are correct,
Murphy is seeking to out-Dewey
Dewey in an effort to minimize
Dewey's Importance and thus sub
tract from Dewey's public favor. For
while Murphy few hither and yon
over the nation with FBI Chief
Hoover in laying plans to prosecute
crooked New Deal politicians in
many of the nations great cities
Inevitably the press compared such
Murphy activities with what Dewey
had done. Such comparisons appear
ed so frequently and to Dewey's adj
vantage that Murphy once blurted
out, 81 wish people would stop
coupling my name with Dewey's."
One result of Deweys amazing
success is that a political cleanup
job today wherever done by anyone
in the nation is known as Dewey
job. Thus when Attorney General
Murphy or the public prosecutor of
Stat Forks does what Dewey has
done, the public likens the job to
Dewey's, and by doing so seeks to
express highest commentator.
Will the final record of these two
Michigan boys give fresh truth to
the old adage that: 1.-The last shall
be first and the first shall be last"2

NOW IT'S A POLITICAL
DEPRESSION
j. e. Jones

Washington, D. c., Aug. 14-For-
ty-seven House Democrats joined
with LAG Republicans in defeating
the Presidents lending bill. This
was the worst blow ever admins
tered to the New Deal, inasmuch as
it was a definite refusal to continue
the spending policies of the Admin
istration, even though the label had
been changed to lending" SPEND
ing the way out of the financial de-
preston has been basic New Deal
philosophy from the very beginning.
Taken in connection with such
legislation as the Hatch bill and the
defeat of Neutrality it has thrown
the Democratic party in a political
depression in which individuals are
struggling to find their way out. On
the surface the situation is bad for
well-informed Washington news
paper men discovered weeks ago that
many New Deal Senators and Repre-
sentatives had lost their faith in
pump printing through spending and
lending. The failures of past expert
ments had shattered their belief in
such plans. They couldn't go
through with it! But it is also a
fact that there were many Congress
men who voted to have the House
take up and discuss the lending bill,
even though they had declared that
they were opposed to it's principles.
The political depression in the
majority party as it broke out in
Congress is not construed by train
ed newshawks in Washington as a
definite revolt against Franklin D.
Roosevelt. 1t signifies lost confidence
| in his major lending policies, and
as many New Dealers will tell you
confidentially, they believe that the
experiment" had been tried long
enough, and they hoped their leader
would acknowledge the failure OF
of his experiment. The Al deserters
joined in this fresh political revolt
i What will happen next? Nobody
knows, although everybody in Wash
ington is guessing.
Arts And Practices of Diplomacy
The first and fifth presidents OF
our country left precedents to post.
Gritty that are defended today just
as they were when Washington de-
clared against third term and
Monroe against any attempt of for,
eign power to make any conquest in
Central or South America. Doesn't
it seem strange that neither doc
trine" has ever been backed up by
the PASSAGE of law? Democracy
alone has been the prop that has
sustained these personal president
ial opinions.
On the other hand Diplomacy
has been backed by books of laws
armies and navies. 1t was claimed
in 1924 that diplomacy was taken
out of politics." when the Rogers
Bill was passed making the diplo-
matte service career"
In the 21 American Republics
there have been recorded, on paper,
numerous declarations and pledges
of solidarity, peace and good will
Honesty of purpose, and even
pledges to be good neighbors, one
and all, have supposedly leveled all
these nations into all common I'M
derstandings that have been found
to be necessary to their united in
terest, as revealed by their histories.
The machinery to carry out these
programs has been transferred to
diplomats.
