ALL GENERATIONS WIN
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Editor, The Times; We some
times hear people say that re-
cipients of the Townsend annu-
ity would be getting something
for nothing" As a matter of
fact, in our modern civilized So
ciety, there are few things we
do not get for nothing We get
the rain and the sunshine and
the air for nothing. The fertil-
ity of the soil and the energies
and life forces that make things
grow we get for nothing.
Can the most severe critic
flatter himself that he invented
the art of writing or the print
ing press, or discovered his re-
ligious or moral convictions or
any of the things which furnish
him with meat or raiment, or
such pleasures as he may derive
from literature or the fine arts?
Can any estimate be placed
on the work of Newton or Edi-
son, or other great scientists,
who have practically created
civilization by their discoveries
Can any one estimate the
value of the work of Abraham

travel is in the automobile.
While no fixed rules, such
as those at and between cross
ings, can be laid down TO gov
ern conduct where an automo-
bile turns into a street. the
driver Of car must make the
turn with due regard, not only
to pedestrians who may be on
the regular crossing. but also
to any person or vehicle law
fully in the highway Immediately
beyond and close TO the crossing.
An automobile cannot dash
around a corner at an undue
rate Of speed. and crash into
vehicle or pedestrian, without
subjecting the driver to liability.
When this duty is disregarded,
and an accident happens, re-
sponsibility in damages follows
In the last analysis, both the
autoist and the pedestrian must
use reasonable care under the
circumstances Ordinarily an
autoist must yield the right Of
way to pedestrians while they
are properly in the intersection.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

However, make no mistake.
Our city commissioners are ex-
perienced, hardheaded business
men. They know that one man
and even $4,000 can not clean
up any city similarly situated
as Tacoma. But the vice and
morals problem has, and always
will be, a "hot potato These
commissioners know that when
someone makes the startling
discovery(?) that immortality
exists in the city, their cue is
to make an apparent effort at
elimination, and in this particular
instance the hot potato" was
virtually tossed. (along with
$1,000, to Commissioner East
wood,
In passing, may say that my
activities in various types of
community work have enabled
me to obtain very fair cross
section of public opinion, which
seems to be, I'VE shall always
have these problems of morals,
liquors and gambling. Therefore,
let us have a properly restricted
district, card rooms operated by
respectable business men, and
under the surveillance of the
police department"

not see anything, Mr.. Ostrich,
does not alter the fact that it
does exist,

Capitol Hill has handed her in

understanding in senate cloak
rooms tht Vice President Garner
helped to engineer the snub.
Because the original wage
hour bill made the administra-
tive agency an independent

The secret may leak out any
day now as \ result Of
internal rowing among the
radio cxars.
FDR has conceived a fierce
hatred for Middle, Western
newspaper famous for it's par
tianship to the COP. In private
conversation-and sometimes in
public outbursts he makes
scant attempt to conceal his
dislike for the owners and edi-
torials of this journal. His aides
on the commission. who are
strangely susceptible to White
House influence. would like TO
fix it SO that this newspaper
would lose it's radio license.
Another newspaper in the
Middle West has been notably
New Dealish in its editorial poll
cies, though nominally indie
pendent Republican. And this
organ has been given control of
three radio stations in its area,
despite the d m in $ tration's
known desire to break up radio
newspaper combinations.

the real FEC boss-and some OF
the commissioners admit il to

Editor, The Times: A CORE

ask what has become of the

wood TO clean up Tacoma.
Which reminds me of the naive
optimism and roseate faith seem
ingly displayed on the part of
our city fathers and good
many of our citizens, in regards
to vice and morals,
Sometimes l think these folks
are deliberately sticking their
heads in the sand like the well
known ostrich, and maybe they
still believe In the old stork
myth. They expect one man
with $1,000 at his disposal, TO
change human weaknesses, which
have existed since Biblical times.
They demand that Mr.. Eastwood
do away with conditions which
even Christ, as He walked this
earth, could not obliterate. The
Great Teacher had then, as we
have 1889 years later. liquor and
unwholesome pastimes TO con-
tend with. for He warned His
people, DO nothing to excess"

Through this day verse
planetary aspects may be un-

While this configuration con-
tinues executives and business
leaders may be uneasy.
Under this sway a fatalistic
aspect may be widespread as
the idea that what must be

of war will be many, but the
seers foresee months of peace
for the United States.
Women appear to be subject
to adverse planetary govern

able to mental poise and con-
ducive to unrest and apprehen-
sion. They s houl d discipline
themselves an ID control their

This is an unlucky day for
romances. Men may be critical
and exacting. Husbands are
likely to be difficult to handle.
Quarrels are easily started
under this direction of the stars
which fosters super-sensitiveness
and self-approbation. Criticism
will be more general than usual
and will be directed toward OBJ
jects great and small.
Sedition in India will add to
the anxieties of the British EN-
pire, which will experience a
summer of supreme difficulties.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of
pleasant surprises in which fl
nancial matters will be salts
