PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
MANY IN Z. s. ARE
STILL UNDERNOURISHED


Editor The Times: A report
recently issued by the National
Resources Board revealed that
half the families in this country
receive incomes so small that
they do not get enough to eat
and are denied practically all
medical care.
Nearly 100000 families re-
ceive under $500 yearly; an
equal number have income from
$500 to 5000. Families with
under $500 incomes spend S35
yearly on clothes; father and
boys over Is spend IS on outer
garments; mother gets along on
81; girls between 2 and Is, So;
infants, 81.
This is a picture of our civil
lization at the beginning of our
crusade to establish over the
world the -four freedoms"-in-
GLIDING freedom from want
by the most gigantic program
of destruction ever conceived by
mortal mind. 1t is also a picture
of cur nation after 30 years Of
effort by mostly well-meaning
liberals. progressives and al
most socialists" to ameliorste
the condition of the underdog in
this period Of capitalist decline.
True. Europe IL in worse
shape. but 30 years ago central
Europe was the scene of the
highest civilization and prob
ably the highest degree of hui
man happiness in history. But
there was also poverty there, an
inability on the part of the peo-
pie to buy back the output of
their increasingly efficient ma
chinery; this led inevitably to
wars for the market and to fas-
cism. Our whole future depends
on whether we can learn from
the European experience.

cause todays rafflc neaaaches'
tn, constant dropping of
water wears away the hardest
stone. and a continued complaint
Of citizens who vote oftentimes
breaks through the reserve of a
CITY councilman. Ii was not sur
prising, therefore, that the city
fathers stopped kidding them
selves about traffic control.
They bought two more bicycles
and increased the traffic squad
TO three.
That had a salutary effect on
the speedsters, ana the gentle
men who owned fast horses, or
thought they did, confined their
demonstrations 10 designated
afternoons on Yakima avenue.
II IL Of record that some Of them
discovered 10 their sorrow that
their horses were not a. fast ~
they thought they were.
1t noted that it is proposed
to stop speeding and wholesals
killing on Tacoma streets by in
creasing the penalties for break
ing the speed limits. A few years
ago under emotional stress and
political pressure the state legis-
lsture passed a law providing
for the death penalty for first
degree murder. The death PEN
atty hasn't stopped murder, any
more than increasing the fines
will stop speeding and killing.
IL some Of the old boys who
had TO do with traffic condi-
tions in Tacoma In the piping
days Of the late eighties and the
very early nineties, could come
hack, they would get q kick out
Of the proposal to make streets
and highways safe by heavier
penalties for violation Of the
traffic regulations. They might
he moved to express themselves
like this:
"Gosh all hemlock why
don't you fellows quit your kid
ding and buy . couple more
bicycles
There is plenty of evidence
that "a couple more bicycles"
would work. The other morning
a motorcycle officer stopped for
few minutes at the intersec-
ton OF South Ninth and Tacoma
avenue. You should have seen
the lads who usually speed down
the hill throw on their brakes
and skid to a stop at the but
ton," when they saw the white
motorcycle. Two minutes after
the officer left the boys merely
slowed down a little and dashed
across the intersection.
But one traffic officer can't
stay long in one place when
there are half a hundred places
where he should be. If he could,
there would be no traffic speed
problem and very few police
court fines. Even in a democ-
racy folks won't tempt fate by
thumbing the nose at a traffic
officer.
Somehow the poor old earth

Each son of hers adding his
might Of unfitness,
And, choosing the sure ray
of coming out wrong.
