The Spring Election

THE Spring election month affords Wayne County
voters an opportunity choose the who will be
their judges for the next six years.
The calber of the will depend upon the interest
and the intelligence of choice of the voters,
Wayne County voters made sorry showing at the
primary election month They conspicuous by
their Indifference They voted less than 25 per cent of
their qualified strength
Unless they display concerted enthusiasm at
the April election they complain unworthy
elected to their courts
Between and April there still is ample time to
study the qualifications of the judicial candidates There
still is time weigh against another the merits of
the various aspirants.
TOR their own protection it is to the interest of the
study the background of judicial candidates
with especial their affiliations and their pre-
election promises and their views judicial responsibility
those views affect the whole people of Wayne County
Voters should remember the they select judges
acquire power far and beyond the power endowed upon
other public officials.
The they select for the Recorders Court the
Circuit Court the Common Pleas Court hold office for
six years. They almost absolute in their opinion of
civil and property and personal rights should of
those rights go to litigation
IT is the purpose of The Detroit Times urge that
readers vote for this that for Circuit Court
Common Pleas Court Recorders Court.
The Detroit Times wishes only to emphasize that
selection of their judges is not casual task.
1t is very grave task.
1t is task that should be undertaken only after
thoughtful elaboration.
The voters have between and April to study it.
The should remember that election day Mon
day. April not Tuesday has been customary in the
past
Monday, NOT Tuesday, April I, is election day.
If Wayne County voters desire good judiciary they
have roughly three weeks left to pick and choose

Two WORTHY Measures

d EPORTS from Lansing indicate that the Legislature
IN may abolish the archaic office of county and
pass this branch of police work to trained medical
examiners.
This is that should have public support, not
only because would end this office but because the
bill might prove opening wedge for other necessary
reforms in county government.
If the legislators be persuaded to take this step
toward more useful and more efficient county rule per-
haps they also be persuaded to end other oumoded
offices such drain commissioners and county surveyors
The has fault in that it would end the
system of coroners in all counties except Wayne and
Oakland
Why not Wayne and Oakland? 1t is true these
counties require trained physicians But
there why the medical examiner system
should not include the metropolitan area
Outside of Wayne and Oakland Michigan does not
require its coroners to be trained in any way.
The result is that the majority of these officials
laynen unqualified to determine whether crime has been
committed
bad situation is that many of
undertakers with possible financial interest in every
death.
companion bill would enlarge the crime detection
division of the state police that would be equipped
in modern, scientific methods of aiding the proposed
medical examiners.
Both measures should be enacted but Wayne and
Oakland counties should be included in the plan

nADE County probably has
no more crime in pro-
portion to population than. ANY
other county. That is. in the
Winter season. Out Of season
il may have less. But its crime
is usually punched and the vic
Tins not uncommonly shining
marks. so it attracts greater at

Even so. there is no denying
that there is a greater amount
of crime in the season than Is

citizens of Dade County. and

Dade County has never been
particularly choosy about its

community are scarcely TO be

times find themselves unable 10

editorializing on lady who had
been stripped of her gew-gaws
to the effect that il served her
right for making a display of

The statement was slightly
disconcerting to the numerous
jewelry establishments that pay
rents and taxes in Dade County
for the privilege of trying to sell
such articles to the ladies and
who argue that a great play
ground ought to be just the
place to display them.
This. however, is just detail.
What is worrying some of the
real thinkers of Dade County is
the thought that if the Cite
boys and the providers become
any more premature they will
finally be meeting the Winter

from the trains and beating
even the social deadfalls to
them, which. of course, would be
very bad for the seasonal BUSH

IN THE good old days down in
Dade County. Fla, the boys
usually waited until the Winter
season was on the wane before
beginning any general practice
of the gentle arts of burglary
and highway robbery. 1t was
considered matter of ethics
that they give the social dead
falls first crack at the customers
in the interests of seasonal
business and be content to take
what was left.
The pickings might be slim.
but about all that the boys of
the good old days wanted was
getaway money. known in the
vernacular as the "blowStakeS. "
They oiled up their Johnny Ros-
Goes, wrapped bandanas around
their pans and Jared forth on
the pete only when it became
apparent that they could not
raise funds TO get TO greener
pastures in any otner way.
If occasionally they picked up
few ornaments as they went
along. it was usually just by way
of souvenirs for the wife or girl
friend back home. Everybody
takes souvenirs home from Dade
County.
THE period of activity in the
L good old days being more or
less fixed and fairly well known.
experienced folks down in Dade
County could sort O keep a
weather eye peeled for them and
remember to lock all the doors,
secure the windows and carry
only small change. They knew
that after few moderate scores
the boys would be gone. not to
return until the cruel Northern
winds of the next Winter blew
them Southwark again.
But in the last couple Of
years Of depredations down in
Dade County have been be-
coming more and more prema-
ture. This is undoubtedly due
to a lot of nonunion and I'M
ethical fellows moving in on the
preserves of the old boys, and it
has produced the very serious
possibility that by the time the
old boys eventually open their
regular season there will be
nothing whatever remaining for
them in the way of swag,
Already the Dade County
newspapers are relating of such
felonies as the stickup of folks
returning from the races at
Hialeah to the tune of S250.000,
and the batting of a builder
across the bean for mere 30
slugs. and the frisking of
truck driver on the Tamiami
trail and the despoiling of &C.
cupants of parked cars and the
ransacking of hotel rooms-all
probably the work of the new
Corners.
That sort of pre-seasonal
stuff, besides threatening the
future of the old boys. tends TO
bring discredit upon them as
class among the Winter GUS
toners of Dade County, who
naturally are unable to dis
tinguish between one burglar or
highwayman and another and
who perhaps think they are all
alike. We can scarcely imagine
any of the boys Of the good old
days STOPPING TO the robbery Of
the person Of . truck driver.

on April 81, State Forester F. w.
Beasley stated the following:
"The present severe fire losses that
Maryland is suffering are to a great
extent the result of unpreparedness
and a sense of false economy. The
CCC, WPA and other Governmental
agencies have provided the State with
many physical improvements such as
roads, telephone lines, trails and look
out towers, which should enable the
State Forestry Department to give
better forest fire protection. How
ever, these improvements are value
less without funds for field person.
mel, fire fighting tools, specially equip
ped vehicles, and radio facilities as
now used by all other public agencies
handling emergencies. The need for
additional funds has been repeated
ly called to the attention of public
officials administering the Depart
ment's and the States affairs, buy in
spite of this a 16 per cent reduction
in funds was forced upon the State
Forestry program during the present
biennium and the budget recently ap-
proved by the Legislature continues
the same curtailed setup for an addi-
tional two years.
"The fire losses have been heavy
and the Forestry Department is being
criticised for allowing these fires to
burn so much area and do so much
damage. We have no apologies to of
fer. All our available forces were
called into action and did a good job
with reduced funds with a resulting
lack of personnel and shortage of
tools and equipment. It is fortunate
that the losses were not greater.

lie administration, but I do not be-
lieve the people of Maryland want us
to sacrifice the accomplishments of
the past ten or 20 years in success
fully protecting our forests, in order
to make temporary and risky saw
ing in our current expenditures. The
values that have gone up in smoke
yesterday and today would have ade-
quately supplemented the States pres
ent protection expenditure for the
next five years."
