CHICAGO -(APl@ The lives of 31O,000 Americans have been saved since the national safety movement began in 1913, says the National Safety Council.
 A box score of accidents con- tained in the councils yearbook shows that the death rate has been lower than for 1913 each year in the 30-year period from 1914 to 1944, except for 1917 and 1886. In 1913 the rate was 85.5 per 100000 population. Last year it was 72.3.

pointed by ex-President Hoover,
on the high bench.
The remaining seven justices,
they emphasized, all are Demo-

Consensus of Republicans in the
upper chamber was that Senator
Warren r. Austin (RD of Yer.

if Mr.. Truman should decide to
name a COP justice, instead OF
handing the judiciary plum TO a
member of his own party.
Meanwhile. political observers

FREED OF TAX BURDEN

BY way of illustration, public
authorities, operating electric
power enterprises, are freed of
some of the tax burdens which
private companies face. This
tends to give the public authorl-
ties a competitive advantage.
In effect, government re-
quireS the private corporation
to act as tax collector, making
IT add something TO h GUS
toners bill which is redlStrib-
uted 10 meet the cost of govern
ment. Failure TO impose the
same obligation on public au-
thorities to act similarly as tax
collectors impairs the value OF
the competitive yardstick.
Likewise, bona ide farmer
co-operatives are placed in a
more favorable tax position
than business corporations en-
gagged in the same activities.
Aliens are freed of some OF
the tax liabilities faced by eth
ZeDS.
