pared with 80 in the first six
months Of 1851. Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp announced last

But the personal injury figure
was higher for the first half of
this year than for the first six
months Of last year, he said. Up
to July l this year. 3,282 persons
were injured. compared with 1899
during the first half of last year.
OF the Is fatalities this year, 20
were pedestrians. The victims in
Icluded four children under the
age Of Z and nine persons over the
age of so.
The number Of traffic accidents
for the first six months in the
District increased from 1895 in
1851 to 8.120 this year.
Engineering and survey work
can do much to control the physi-
cal factors that control accidents. !"
Mr.. Keneipp said. But the purely
human cases are the toughest to
lick. Constant public education
Is necessary to remind people to
learn and apply the regulations
that protect them, whether they
be drivers or pedestrians"

the cost that hinders good farm
living, but, rather, a failure to ap-
preciate and to use what there is
on the farm.

though their advertisements and
broadcasts clearly support one
candidate or another.
Even most state committees of
the Democratic and Republican
parties do not report their financial
affairs. They claim to be state
branches of the national commit
tees and thus independent. A few
county groups report, but most do
not.
A House committee in 1916
studied lit organizations that it
was convinced were engaged in
political activities. Only At had
filed any reports. And few ofthem
had fled periodically as the law
requires.
Spending Limits
The Corrupt Practices Act sets a
maximum of $25, 900 on fund-rais-
ing and spending by a Senatorial
candidate, depending upon his
states population. The top limit
for candidates for the House is
$40, 900.
But the law is rarely obeyed.
Candidates say they don't know
who was raising money for them
nor how it was spent.
Often, the Star points out, sew
eral committees are set up for
Candidate Jones which Jones says
were established without hisknowl-
edge or consent. Thus, under the
federal laws, he does not have to
file contributions received by
them.
The Senate Privileges and Elec-
tons Subcommittee last fall re-
vealed Sen. Robert Taft's cam
paign for reelection in 1850. But
Taft listed donations totaling only
$1,816. Taft said political commit

run a campaign neither for the
candidate nor for his personal ex-
penses.

Millions of hidden dollars will

tons "says the conservative Wash
ington Evening Star. It predicts
the 1852 campaign will be the
toughest and most expensive in
recent years."
Already high-priced propaganda
is flooding the country in an eff
fort to drown out the voice Of
labor and other liberal groups
seeking to elect progressive can
didates to Congress and the state
legislatures.
Members of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor who realize a lib
eral Congress means a strong A
merica, good wages, and good
working conditions can help elect
their friends by contributing 81 to
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation. The dollars will help cam
didates who don't get big business
support pay for pamphlets, tele-
vision, radio, travel, postage, and
other expenses.
Labor's League cannot hope to
match more than a very small
share ofthe funds that corporation
executives, bankers, and the rest
of the Taft-Hartley crowd will
raise. In 1913 and 1850, LLPE
spent a total of only $868,448.11.
The Dupont family alone contri-
buted 500, 500 in 1850 to help it's
friends.
But cooperation by AFL mem
bers with LLPE in contributing
money and in getting out the vote
can mean victory at the pollsnext
November.
Loopholes for Wealthy
The obstacles labor faces T
highlighted by the Evening Stars
Apart series on election-law loop
holes. These loopholes allow a rich
man to give as much money as he
wants as long as he gives no more
than $4,000 to any national com

A Du Pont, a Mellon, or a Pew,
for instance, can make $5,000glfts
to an unlimited number of state
and county committees which can
do what they want with them-in-
Guiding sending the gifts to a ma
tional committee in a lump sum.
The Hatch Act limits a political
committee" to So million a year in
collections and expenditures. But,
as the Star reports, the principal
dumping ground for the hidden
money are the funds or groups
that spring up all over the country
in an election year.
The law says a political COM
mittee" must report to the Clerk
of the u. S. House Of Representa-
tives the names of all donors who
