Peril. Or Staying At Home

In 1888 it actually dangerous to stay at home
than to go out the streets foot in automobile
At least that's fair deduction from the 1888 figures
fatal accidents compiled by the National Safety Council
They show that while 80 600 people killed in traffic
accidents, 500 killed by accidents in their
homes.
For the first time in 10 years the home deadly
than traffic for while concentrated traffic safety drives
cutting the traffic toll by 7640 reduction of 10
cent fatal home accidents increased two peI cent
The accident prevention work of the National Safety
Council and other agencies proved them real national
in the year just passed For they helped the United
States its accident death toll by 10000 for the year
Further 10000 fewer persons disabled by injuries in
1888 than in 1887.
Sentiment aside there is tremendous economic gain
for the country thus cheating death of what he has
to regard his legitimate prey.
But the toll of accidental death is still terrible and
the encouraging results of the 1888 safety campaigns should
stimulate everyone seek better results this year
To be perfectly just attribute of the divine nature;
to be to the utmost of abilities is the glory of
Addison.

SELF-CONTROL
FOR FARMERS

th y thli1fNN
Just before he came to Wash
ington this winter. Senator
Capper held a conference in
Topeka with 900 Kansas farm
ers. He also had letters from
1000 more He believes he has
a pretty fair idea of what the
farmer needs.
First. he feels that regimenta-
ton and restriction of produce
ton must stop. II there is to be
any control, he says, let farm
ers impose it on themselves
rather than submit to some
thing devised at Washington.
Next. he believes the farmer
must be assured of the cost of
production Of his crop. plus
fair profit. as far as crops
grown for domestic consumption
are concerned. SURPRISES, he
feels. should be exported for
whatever they will bring. either
with or without government aid.
He would shape tariff and for
eign trade policies to preserve
the American market in toto
for the American farmer.
He would keep the present
soil conservation program. and
would continue to finance agri-
culture through the farm credit
administration but he thinks 3
per cent interest is plenty for
farm loans.
All of which comes reason
ably close to expressing the pro-
visions of the Frazier-Lemke
bill introduced recently by the
newly-formed farm bloc.
NOT
UNANIMOUS
Senator Capper admits with
a wry smile that farmers them
selves are far from united in
their views.
Those farmers 7 talked with
at Topeka certainly weren't in
agreement. Most of them. l
thlnk. do want the AAA act OF
1898 repealed. But one group
"a small but noisy one wants
the government to stop trying
to do anything at all for the
farmer. A larger group wants
some control of SURPRISES to
keep prices from going down
too far Still others bitterly
oppose production and market
ing control, but do approve of
the soil conservation program. -
The senator remarks that the
new farm program ought to be
keyed to the family-sized farm.
In too many cases. he believes.
the AAA program has been q
fine thing for the big landlord
and the corporation-o farm
