which means constantly decreasing
number of accidents. He says that
planning for safety saves both money
and lives" and cites figures to prove
his assertion.
Of course the saving of life and limb
is far more important than money
savings. To the average low-income
family, an accident causing loss of
time and medical bills is a matter of
grave concern. A serious accident may
result in temporary or complete loss
of income 1t may result in the accu-
mutation of doctors bills beyond the

cessities of life.

fication as establishing the first real

CRIME UNDER THE
NAZIS
(From the New York Times)

(From the New York Times)
For listening to foreign radio broad
casts and sharing with his neighbors
the news he thus heard, German has
been beheaded as a traitor" Other
Germans languish in Jail merely for
listening to foreign news which the
Nazi Government forbids them to hear
because it contradicts the calumnies
and optimistic lies put out by Nazi
propaganda.
This is the New Order that Hitler
would substitute for the freedom en-
joyed under democracy. To seek facts
and share knowledge of them brings
the seeker to the headsman's block.
Murder, on the other hand, if COM
mitted in the Nazi interest, brings
honor and reward, as in the case of
the assassins of Dollfuss, whose
graves Hitler decorated, and the
Beuthen murderers, whom as Chan
cellor he released and recompensed.

STANDARDS OF ALL MENACED

The fight to abolish the poll tax as
requirement for voting in the eight
Southern states which still have this
relic of archaism is a fight of all the
people. This is often overlooked. Rep
resentative Rudolph C. Tenerowicz of
Michigan served democracy and Amer
icanism by pointing out in a recent
radio address that the existence of the
poll tax is of direct concern to the
entire nation.
Tenerowicz showed there is a def
mite relation between the poll tax and
the low labor standards that exist in
the poll tax states. Because citizens
of the eight states must pay for the
right to VOTE" in the words of Tene-
rowicz, large mass of poorly paid
workers cannot vote and are therefore
denied an effective voice in their local
governments. They cannot vote for
candidates pledged to better condi-
tions. If they are forced to accept
lower standards of pay and work,
higher standards in other parts of the
country are endangered.
The American Federation of Labor
realizes the menace of the poll tax and
is on record as approving of the prin-
cipal that all citizens, regardless of
color or race, should be equally en-
titled to the full right of adult suf-
frage. So the federation is backing the
Geyer-Pepper bill, providing for the
abolition of poll tax requirements in
federal elections. Passage of this bill
would spell the doom of the poll tax
in all elections and mark big step
forward IN democratic progress.

LIBERTIES MUST BE PRESERVED

In the days of storm and stress
through which we live, the rights and
liberties of the people are in as grave
danger of perversion by the blind
and thoughtless application of emer
gency policies as they are from attack
by armed forces. Only by insisting
upon full application of our funda-
mental freedoms can we repulse the
enemy challenging us from without
and at the same time preserve the IN
tegrity of our democracy from within.
Only by relying upon cooperation in
stead of compulsion can we bring into
full play the human, spiritual and
moral resources of the entire nation,
leaving no fertile ground for subver-
sive propaganda, unrest and revolt
