 The commissioner recommended reflectorized signs, suspended where the operator can see them at dis tance as a valuable traffic accident prevention factor. Distinctive illum- ination for important intersectional crosswalk areas in cities were also recommended to safeguard pedes- trian traffic. All crosswalk areas should also be kept wildly white washed at all times, he said.
 Comsr. Connor declared he sup ported the elimination of parking within definite distances of street corners to safeguard pedestrian traffic making it possible for opera tors to visualize conditions quicker and be able to react faster to em- ergencies. He also endorsed the use of safety islands wherever the width of a street obviously requires them to give the average pedestrian breathing and resting place" of safety.

EXPECTS NEW LAW
TO RAISE PRICES

Editor. The Times: National
Emergency Council reports that
in this state the general prop
erty tax has decreased from
Ss.07 per person in 1882 to
S2.47 in 1888. while the retail
sales tax. which bears heaviest
on the poor, has increased from
almost zero to SIAN per per-
son.
The 1888 legislature broad
ened the sales tax. In addition,
il passed and Governor Martin
signed the so called unfair
trades practice act, which pro-
vides heavy fines or imprison-
ment for selling articles at re-
tail for less than wholesale cost,
plus "all cost of doing business,
including labor. salaries of exc
cutives and officials. rent, main
tenance of equipment, delivery
cost. credit losses, interest on
borrowed capital. depreciation,
all types of licenses, taxes. in
surance and advertising. pro-
portionste TO the price Of the
article
The Times correctly analysed
this act as legalizing and, in
fact. enforcing price-fiXing by
small interested groups. making
for unlimited fraud and con-
fusion in accounting practices,
and inevitably placing a heavier
burden on the consumer.
Termed an act Ito prevent
monopoly and TO foster and
encourage competition, its eff
feet will be the exact opposite.
Put forward as an anti-chain
store measure. it really sets up
big chains as dictstors in the re-
tail field, since they can buy,
manufacture and operate at
lower cost per item than the
small merchant
No one denies that II will
raise prices, hence reduce food
consumption and increase mall
nutrition and its consequent dis
eases. But such acts are neces-
sary TO stabilize the profit sys-
tenn; and as long as We cling
TO that system we should not
blame our lsw-naking bodies
for continuing to function as
executive committees OF the
owning class
