(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Fun at Chicago's Expense Down East the New York press is berating Chi-} cago’s failure to cope with crime conditions. Re- cently Vice President Dawes presented an appeai for a cghgressional investigation of the political and crirflinal situation in Chicago. A summary of | the Eastern criticisms is given below: New York Time: the senate on Saturday through Vice President Dawes asking congress to come to the help of Chi- cago in preventing and punishing cirme, is per- *~ haps’ the most abject surrender of self-government ever hinted at in this countr ment has absolutely no jur diction in the matter. “If Chicago cannot rule herself, put down crime, and cause her government to be trusted, then she ought to surrender her charter. She is not fit to he an American city. “Her citizens have forgotten the elementary prin ciples of local control of local affairs. But there is no reason to suppose that Chicago has fallen on such evil days. She cannot be truly represented by those who lift up their eyes to Washington as the only} place where help can be found in Chicago.” New York Evening Post (under the heading “Chicago's Shameful Confession”): “The document laid before the senate by Vice President Dawes, himself a Chicagoan, is not an official plea. Nevertheless it is the most humiliating confession ever made by the people of an American city of States has thrown up her hands and is calling for federal aid. Here is a confession of breakdown in local responsibility and self-government never nessed before in any great American municipality. 2 9 New York Sun: “At first glance the appeal . . . seems almost grotesque, and the circumstances that a political primary campaign is in progress lays it open to suspicion. Yet— “If these charges are well founded it is plain that the United States has a duty to perform in Chi- cage. Alien criminals are subject to deportation by the United ‘States government alone. But if the Better Government association of Chicago conceives it to be the obligation or province of the United States to police Chicago . . . it strangely misread: the facts.” Babcock on Traffic Regulations State Highway Commissioner Babcock of Min- nesota has won a national reputation as an expert in road construction and the administration of high- way matters. He has been invited to attend the national safety congress called by President Cool- idge to meet at Washington March 23-25. He sums up the situation in a few words? “Too ~many-laws—tco little observance.” The_situation then resolves itself into a question of better enforcement of present traffic laws rather than in new enactments. It is, to use a designation of Commissioner Babcock, the “reckless minority” who endanger life and limb on the public highway. There should be uniformity of traffic rules throughout the nation. One city restricts speed to a certain degree and the neighboring city has a different rule and much confusion results. “Speed traps” are maintained by villages to enhance the public treasury. Such cupidity as some magistrates display toward motorists instills disrespect for all regulations. There are two sides to the proposi- tion of street and highway safety. The laws must be simple and reasonable. Each locality would find enforcement if uniform regulations were used and the national conference is a step toward that end. Gov. Sorlie is to follow up the national confer- ence with a state safety meeting and much good sheuld result. It is necessary, now and then to fe attention upon the increasing accidents and nines on the streets and the highways of the Proving Big Success Attendance on the opening day cf Bismarck’s first ‘automobile show was beyond; expectations. Today and Saturday should prove banner ones. These affairs should be held annually and the drive -be made intensive for the proposed Com- munity Building If Bismarck is to continue its present rapid pace of commercial development seme adequate exposition building is necessary. The .crowds attending the’ Automobile Show proved conclusively the inadequacy of facilities for such gn affair despite. the fact that the dealers through exceptional foresight overcame many handi- caps, : Doibt fail to visit the show.
