SENATOR DOWNEY GETS
CART BEFORE l:ORSE

Senator Sheridan Downey told Jackson
Day dinner celebrants recently that the
whole system of government is wrong.
As usual the senator is looking through
the wrong end of the telescope. He just
doesn't focus. Turning the glass around
the senator would discover that he is
wrong. What laugh "Old Hickory
must have enjoyed if he is where he can
listen in on the foaming oratorv spilled
af his anniversary dinners in tf2 name
of 'the party of Jackson And the sem
ator's speech would have sent the old
Bourbon into veritable roars. DoWney
and his fellow-new dealers no more rep
resent the party of Jackson-or Jeffer-
son, for that matter-than they repre-
sent the party of Lincoln.
! Downey finds that the present system
of government does not fit into the needs
of wartime All right. Mr.. Downey,
granting you have made an honest-to-
goodness discovery, are you not bit
late in such discovery? And what have
you to say about the six years you have
been helping tinker with the system?
,f it i out Of Whack who has rendered it
SO? It wasn't off the beam u years ago.
It has functioned through several wars
and survived. 1t has even survived, al
though pretty badly Scared. the twelve
years Of steady assault you and your
new deal experiments have subjected it
to. and it still will survive.
The senator saws there must be some
hing done to bring the legislative and
executive branches closer together That
might be accomplished by pushing the
two ends of Pennsylvania avenue togeth-
Ter or by some act of legerdemain to short
en- the path between Capitol Hill and the
White House so the subservient senator's
like Downey wouldn't have so far to trot
to the executive branch offices every
time they got a notion of something or
Dther in their heads.
What Senator Downey means. we take
it, is that the legislative branch needs
more rubber stamps to label themselves

WHEN LIBERTY BECOMES
LICENSE. ALL LOSE

Once in while liberty-loving and lib
erty-endowed Americans forget and turn
such rights into license. Then everybody
suffers the penalty libertys guardian
law-invokes.
Thus il has come about that the city
of Los Angeles At the demand of long
suffering public has been compelled to
attach a penalty to a right all well-mind-
ed citizens observed and enjoyed Now no
one may smoke in a public conveyance
and all because a small section of the
public made license out of that liberty
Fair-mindedness disappears when such
a section of the public begins edging up
on a special privilege. If all people smok-
ed or if none smoked there would be no
need for regulation or a check on such
privileges. Since the public divides on
all such matters il becomes necessary to
strike a fair line between the two In
Los Angeles the smokers gradually cross
ed the line and then moved in on the
other side. Instead of enjoying their
privilege in certain sections of public
carriers they boarded such convevances
with lighted smokes or proceeded to
light UP no matter where seated.
And then the issue came up and the
governing body had no choice but to exact
a penaltv which resulted in a complete
ban on smoking. Of course the culprits
will veil and complain and denounce. 1t
always is thus. Non-smokers probably
do not enjoy seeing their fellows bereft
of the Measure but the shoe had to go
on another foot.
It is too bad. Sumptuary legislation
should be at a minimum in what we call
a democracy That dav has not dawned.
Selfishness still prevails in this old land.
And so does ignorance.

Tire Protection Stressed Now
Expert Details
Methods to Keep
Your Tires Safe

Frequent sight of car stranoed
on the road, with a chewed-up tire.
or no tire at ALL is causing a lot OF
Nightmares these days. A replace
ment tire may or may not be OBJ
tainable.
Equipped with all the latest OPA
information on tire availability for
various classes of ration book hold
ers, and also equipped and skilled
in the means of making tires last
longer, Mobil men are specializing
during the Summer proof period in
tire service to help their customers
avoid these nightmares.
Such is the statement of Robert
w. Bob Hatton, Federal tire dis
tributor. He says that these tire
specialists have helped many mo-
torist to keep running thousands
of miles beyond the average life of
their tires, through proper inspec-
ton, re-capping and repair service.
"One thing stressed by Mobilgas
Dealers states Hatton, rs 1nSpec-
ton and initiation of tires once or
twice every week, because they know
correct initiation, and the finding
of a tire fault in sufficient time,
greatly &C DIS to its life.
Many drivers eligible for new
tires will be able to obtain the new
Federal synthetic tires and tubes at
Mobilgas stations. Features of these
tires include Latex-dipped cords to
insulate heat and prevent internal
friction: un6 er-tread shock pads to
absorb road shocks. reduce heat
and protect against bloWouts; safe
ty-locked beads to protect against
failure; and high-carbon, wear,re-
sisting tread compounds to procuce
exceptional tire mileage"

from the meetings and promises we have
had, we would flourish as the largest
city in the world, and that is no eXagger-
alton.
1t is time you put aside your selfish
interests. and showed the people some ac-
ton. Your boys are going to want to see
something better than what is here now.
They have been out, and have seen great
many towns and cities They are going
to Judge this town. and they are going
to Judge you by what is here. They have
learned that excuses don't work; so they
are not going to accept your excuses.
They will want direct answers to direct
questions If you don't want to be placed
in a very awkward position when your
sons and daughters come home. convert
some of that hot air into useful energy.
And if you want to keep them here give
them city they will be proud Of If they
return to find what is here now, they are
liable to do one of two thngs-turn you
out in the cold and take over or exit to
better places. And neither of these sound
pleasant to you, do they?
We don't care who gets credit. we
Just want it done Do what needs to be
DONE and argue over who gets the glory
later. Our town has great possibilities
and we want action.
