OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEi:DINGS _—_——_—__———-_—-—-———————_—_—“" COUNTRY TRAFFIC REGULATION The appointment of traffic officers by the sl}enfi is a step in the right direction. The purpose of these ufflcers is not to hold stop watches on all autos that travel the highways, to.se.e that they maintain only the speed permitted by law, nor is §t to arrest all who drive faster than 25 miles per hour. It is well known that a man driving an auto at 20 miles per hour in meeting another car on a narrow piece of road is more dan- gerous than the man who drives 30 miles per hour on a stra{ght stretch of road, and particularly if he has a big car and gives a scant half of the road. The regulation of country road traffic has become a really more serious problem than the regulation of city traffic, and, with the advent of paved or wide, hard-surfaced roads, the problem will continue to be serious until drivers are made to realize there is a limit to the speed they may travel. The law requiring dimmer lens on lights has made night traveling safer, and, without question, regulations will be in- troduced from‘time to time which will better regulate the ‘enormous traffic destined to develop in auto passenger and freight cars. - The ease with which an auto cap get away at night with- out being identified is one of the things requiring attention. Tail lights on cars in very few cases are adequate to throw suffi- cient light on the rear license number to make it possible to obtain the number. In many cases the rear lights are two feet from the license number. Lights should be of sufficient| strength and placed near enough to the rear license sign that| the number may be easily ascertained, otherwise it is not pos- sible to get the number if the driver wishes to make his get- away—and the number of these is not small. A E.J. LYNCH | The untimely death of E. J. Lynch, former collector of| customs at St. Paul, will be regretted over the entire state, Hé was one of the staunchest Democrats in the state and, like many other politicians, made his start as a newsboy, later drifting .into_the editorial department of a city paper. Later| he became owner of the St. James Journal with which he built| the foundations for his political career. After turning over his office to his successor he went east for a rest.before re-en-| tering into active work again.

By EDWARD B. CLARK. : Washington,—The house-of repre- sentatives is facing the task of taxa-| tion legislation. The members are-try=! ing to put a good face on the matter,| but: taxation is looking at them with | not altogether a pleasing countenance. | Taxation ‘is an ugly customer. ‘ Con- gressmen. do not like to deal with-it; and the people do not like to have it| dealt with although they know that | the dealing therewith is inevitable. Congress has taken note of what| Chairman Lasker of the shipping board has said concerning his forthcoming request that congress appropriate $300,000,000 to pay the board’s ex- penses for the coming fiscal year. The| chairman’s words were: “This may throw sand on the gears of taxation | revision, but I cannot help it.” Every political party when it is in power looks dismal-eyed at the prob- lem of tax revision. Fairly definite promises were made by both parties lnl their national conventions that the| taxes of the nation would be reduced. It turned out that it i8 the lot of the Republican majority to do it. How is it going to'be done? There’ are those in Washington wha easily can understand why the house put off tax revision untjl after it had finished with the tariff./ It was simply a case of postponing the most disagree« nable and probably the most disappoint? | ing work that was to confront the law makers during the present session. Not only the probable request for $300,000,000 for the shipping board, but | a dozen other things have been drib- | bling sand into the gears of the tax| revision machinery. Congress has cut | out adjusted eompensation legislation at the request of the President, but in | the earlier researches into what it was | to cost to run the government, the| bonus was given no consideration. | Therefore the relief is not material. Makes Dawes’ Savings Look Puny. Here is Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes |: ‘hard at work in the sweltering Wash< ington weather trying to save money for the country, and yet every day he ‘gets inews which-means that though- he shall accomplish what the boy called a Herculaneum' job, .the results with a dollar sign before them will ap- pear pitifully small when placed side by side with the enforced expenditures’ of government. General Dawes will deserve jyst as much credit as if con- gress were not compelled to spend its un, and also its ton of good money, but it probably will'be a little bit dis- couraging to-know that the huge sum which he probably. will save may ap- pear like a shriveled, shrub alongside of a sequoia of compulsory expendl- tures. * Members of the Republican majori- ty are asking 'themsélyes today how taxes egn. be -qut! with’the‘demand for money. which is constantly being heard through the hole in the cashier’s win- dow. There: ‘are;” expenditures which: ‘can be cut off, but there is a day of reckoning for the goverriment, just as here is for the small business man. The administration through its selec- tive commissions and committees like those of which Dawes and Walter F. Brown are the chiefs, has done all that it can apparently to produce offsets against expenditures, but the grim fact remains that congress must make provisions for huge governmental ex- penses, and that in order to do it must make provisions for taxation. Republicans Have Some Hope. The leaders of the Republican party seem to feel, and justly so probably, that if they. can make a showing of a reduction 6f taxation; relieving the | burdens where they fall heaviest, not only on the big fellow but on the little fellow, they will be secure in the con- tinued confidence of the country. At the same time they know that Inxn-j tion-and other sources of revenue, if| there be any such, must produce a sufy ficient amount of anoney. tosmeet in‘full the running expenses of a big governs ment with ‘all kinds of work in hand and with all kinds of debts to meet. 3| Interest in taxation legislation 1§ ‘oni hundred times keeuer than in any tatilt ‘legislation. An American puts fis hand in his pocket and draws out icash when 'the tax collector comes round. He may lose some cash through the tariff, but he does riot know much about it. Of course, 'also, he may gain m little something through the tariff, but perhaps he knows less about this than he does about the loss. The house will put through tax legis- lation under a rule limiting debate. The senate will talk-taxes through the twillght and darkness of many days. | | veto any bill as a whole, but it does ;"mg necessary for a choice. was drawn by Representative Mad- iden — of ~Tlinols, the ney chair ‘mian of the 'greater appropriations com- mittee of the'house ‘which from now |, ‘on ‘Will bé‘ kAbwn as' the budget com: ‘mittee. Phe wmendinent’ will give the \President - ofs thei/United Spates the ipower to veto any appropriation bill, “eitber In whole or in part, “so that he may - exercise hig discretion in elimi- .nating any item which to him seems extravagant, wasteful? and unwise." The quoted words are those of Repre- sentative Madden, The. Constitution of the United ,States gives the President the power to not give him the power to veto parts of bills. Of coursg gt is easily -seen glar ta'give the gutive powi to pafts of all egisiat ‘raight Fésult in ap power, and in’ infinite confusioh, ¥HMt appropria- tion bills are one thingand other kinds of ‘billg.are smother thing. ! Through the wholglegislative history | of the United Statesithe approprintion bills at different times have been made the medium of carriage of legislation which~the dominant party desired™to see enacted into law and which it thought would receive the Presidént’s signatufe becausé ‘if he did' not sign the bill as a whole the, department of government for which the appropria- tions were to be made would have to cease functioning, ‘or:at least would have to run on credit until another ap-, propriation bill could be passed.’ Seniority Rule Is Broken. A-rule which only rarely is broken was violated: ‘when Rep. Martin B. Madden was ' chosen by his party in the house of representatives to be the head of they budget com- mittee. Not long ago Representative Good of Towa, who was the chairman of the enlarged. house -approptiations committee, now called'the budgét com- _ittee, resigned from..congress, ~ The second rankihg member -of "the ~com- mittee was Representative Charles R.] 1. The third rank-| ing memher: was Madden of Ilinois.] Instead of following the usual rule of eniority -in promotion, Mr. Madden ‘was ckosen for the.chairmanship. Just before the selection of Mr. Madden there was a strong drive in’ ‘behalf of Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, one time chairman of ‘the house committee on rivers and harbors, one time United States sen- {ator, and one time prominent candi- ‘date for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Mr. Burton is known as one of the “scholars in polities,” ;ln this respect being placed alongside +Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and John Sharp Williams of Missis- :sippl.

Mr.| Fordney, who is' chairman of tl\e{ house committee on ways and means, and the house father of the present| tariff - bill, occupies a field far re- -moved.from that.in which Mr. Under- wood, formerly of the house, but now of t Yet Mr. Underwood of Alabama, com- ing from a manufacturing district, is 38 sty not as markedly a low tariff man as || are many of his Democratic colleagues. Perhaps the greatest difference in the viewpoint of two men on tariff legis- Jlation is that which lies between the position taken by Mr. Fordney and that taken some years ago by Mr. Wil- son, who fathered the Democratic bill of the Cleveland administration, A Republican . representative, a Deliever in high tariff legislation, has just told me that even TiIs Repub- lican colleagues are willing to admit, because they must admit, that tariff legislation this year is to some extent legislation in the dark. It is the eco- nomic situation in Europe which makes things so uncertain. Not all the wisdom in the house and in the senate Is sufficient to brighten the eye of knowledge so that it can look into the future and see what is going to happen. When Europe begins to get ‘on its feet industrially it may be that there must be revision of some of the schedules of the tariff bill which will pass congress at this session. It fs ‘the uncertainty in the case which accounts for the comparative lack of interest which the. represent- atives of American industries showed in the preliminaries. of tariff legisla- tion this year. b So there is admission that the pres- ent tarift bill is to a considerable ex- tent_an experimental ¢ne. It may do all“that it’is hoped. by.its sponsors that it will do, and it may fail to meet the requirements of coming cases. Priceless Archives in Danger. Priceless historical documents senate, has taken his place. || It taxation could be talked- to deathstored in the castle of Simancas, near the senate is the body to.do it, but it is in this day an extremely lively, well- developed, hard-fisted subject.
