THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS
Horrible To Contemplate

Horrible To Contemplate
Perhaps, when this vital civil
rights bill, with its deep emotional,
sectional and political appeal is
finally acted upon at this session
of Congress the better-grade poll
ticians in both parties, to say moth
ing of the great American people,
will be able to give some real
thought to the issue that even more
seriously threatens the welfare of
the nation as a whole and every in
dividual in ito wit, initiation.
" -
This is not to say that the civil
rights bill, in whatever form en-
acted will completely solve the
great racial question involved.
Neither Supreme Court DEGREES,
congressional acts nor Administra-
ton orders will do that Time alone
will effect the solution and every
clear-headed and really informed
man knows that fact. The point is
that after this session ends, the
men who officially run this coun-
try, and the people as whole in
whom the real power is vested, had
better buckle down to the job of
regaining control of the Federal
finances and curbing what now
threatens to become a runaway
initiation, if consequences disas-
trous to all are to be averted.
:; =
Because initiation is no longer a
threat; it is a fact. For years we
have been warned and now we have
it. In a series of extraordinary and
indisputable statistics the U. S.
News and World Report last week
told the raw story of the rise in the
cost of living in the last eighteen
years. 1t canbe summarized in this
way-if in 1889 your yearly income
was $1,000 you must make S3,098
to be as well off today; if your 1899
income was $4,000 you need $4O,-
091 in order to be as well off now;
if your income was S1000,000 you
need S3,678,378. Figures of other
income brackets are not here given
for lack of space, but the proper
ton is exactly the same. No one
escapes. In period Of great pros
perity nobody is really any better
off and of course those whose in
come is fixed and unchangeable.
who live on pensions, or on trust
funds or wages that have not risen
are really up against it. The pur-
chasing power of their dollar has de-
creased and the burden of I'M
dreamed of taXes-Federal, State
and locals heavy, indeed.

Neither union labor nor big bust
ness management paid the least at
tention to his advice and request.
Each continued to play its game re-
gardless of the effect on the nation.
Until and unless the Congress wakes
up, there is no way to decrease
taxes and no way to check the ris-
ing cost of living. In the end, this
means collapse horrible to con-
template.

Senate Cloakroom
By J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

This week-or, to be more spe-
cific, the last day of July-would
normally be the official deadline
for the adjournment of the Senate
and the House of Representatives.
However, the same law which
sets this final closing date also pro
vdes that it does not have to be
observed in time of war or during
national emergency proclaimed by
the President" And this exception
within the law applies today.
Officially our country is still in
the state of national emergency"

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our dear husband
and father, Richard Bradford Rig
gleman, who passed away % years
ago, August 10, 1885
Gone, dear husband, gone forever;
How we miss your smiling face,
But you left us to remember
None on earth can take your place.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still.
But death has left loneliness
The world can never fill.
Sadly missed by his wife and
children.

Council Sees
1000 Decrease
In Auto Toll

CHICAGO. Nov. 30 (P.-The
1857 death toll on the Nations
highways might be 1000 less
than last year. the National
Safety Council estimated today.
Council officials said their
optimistic estimate Of a death
toll of $500 was based on
three factors:
l. Some 1880 persons died
on the Nations highways dur
ing the first 10 months of this
year. about 800 less than dur
ing that period in 1856.
2. During the first eight
months of 1857. Sc persons
died for every 100 million miles
of highway travel. Last year,
the figure was 6.
3. Twenty-nine of as States
reporting showed traffic records
for the first 10 months of 1857
which were improved over last
year, Montana and Idaho
showed 20 per cent improve
ments.
Perfect Records
In October. ASS of the re-
porting cities had perfect rec
ords. The three largest were
Richmond. Va; Jacksonville,
Fla, and Salt Lake City, Utah,
all of which have populations
of $4,000, or above.
There were 1875 cities which
had perfect records during the
entire 10-month period ending
In october The three largest
were Lynn. Mass: Rock Island,
ILL.,. and Ann Arbor. Mich, all
with populations of $4,000 or
more.
These factors, the council
said. should place the 1857 toll
at about $4,000. In 1856, &c.
628 died in highway accidents.
The council said deaths in
october totaled 1890. approx
mately the same as in October.
1856, which was the lowest since
1949.
Drivers and traffic enforce
ment agencies deserve heartiest
congratulations" the council
said.
