CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Approaching a New Accident Record From the standpoint of deaths due to automobiles, 1930 is the worst year in our history, according to the National Safety Council which reports fatalities for the first nine months were two per cent above 1929. The! report is based on statistics covering areas containing about half the nation’s population. Recklessness and carelessness are still rules of the road with thousands of motorists. However, it is encouraging to note that there are a few rays of light in the accident gloom. Tremendous success has been attained in reducing fhe number of accidents to children by means of safety instruction in schools. Throughout the nation many organizations are working to prevent accidents, not only automobile, but those oc- curring in homes and industries, The National Safety Council announces that it will hold 25 regional safety conferences in various parts of the nation during the coming year and it is estimated that 1,000 delegates will attend each one. Another sign is the trend toward laws requiring driv- ers’ examinations. Some of our states have such laws now and report good results. When legislatures meet again it is almost certain that most of them will con- sider stricter licensing laws. In Pennsylvania 75,000 of 300,000 applicants were un- able to obtain licenses after their first test. They needed and received additional instruction and many of them Jater acquired permits to drive an automobile. To us in North Dakota, where conditions are some- what different than in more congested areas, it is still @ question as to whether a drivers’ license is an im- perative necessity but its prospective benefits are such that the matter is at least worth considering. Doubtless such a measure will be introduced at the coming legislative session. It should not be killed—or: passed—without careful investigation and the beet thought our lawmakers can give it. A Good Road Year Road statistics for the first 10 months of 1930 are en- couraging. According to W. C. Markham, of the American As- sociation of State Highway Officials, during this pe- riod 12,503 miles have been paved, 15,763 miles have received low-type surfacing and 9,951 miles have been graded and drained. Compared to 1929, this represents an increased mileage of 5,715. At least 50,000 men, in addition to the regular work- ing forces, have been employed on state systems alone. ‘Thus road work is playing an important part in mitigat- ing the effects of the unemployment situation. ‘The states, this year, have spent about $800,000,000, for roads, in addition to more than $100,000,000 for pay- ment on bond principal. Of the former sum, 67.7 per cent was used for construction, 21.6 per cent for main- tenance and the remainder for interest on bonds, pur- chase of equipment, ete. There is a lesson for North Dakota in these statistics. ‘The amount spent for highway maintenance in this state ness in having even one drink under his belt. the abuse, Using the Stool Pigeon Just for an example of how rotten and disgusting police @ little attention to the current “stool pigeon” disclos- sj ures in New York City. The background is this: the vice squad of the New York police department has been doing the bulk of its work through stool pigeons—paid informers, in plain English. These stool pigeons would do a vast deal of snooping, spying and sneaking and would make their reports; the police, on the basis of these reports, would go out and arrest girls named by the informers. At the beginning, probably, it seemed like a good sys- tem. But now it develops that it became a very horrible thing. The stool pigeons and the police, eager to make more convictions, were not satisfied with trapping en—railroading them to court and to jail, manufacturing evidence against them, committing perjury by wholesale and thereby fattening their own fees. In the process, of course, they wrecked a number of lives and caused much wholly needless suffering; but that, evidently,, didn’t bother them very much. The stool pigeons were making money, the police were making a fine record for arrests, and everybody was happy. Now it is all coming out into the open, and New York is properly shocked. Policemen are being suspended, the grand jury is getting ready to act, and it looks as if there will be a new deal. However, in any case of this kind, making a cleanup and sending the guilty to jail is only part of the job. The important thing to do is to realize that the whole sorry mess was @ logical outgrowth of the kind of police work that involves too great a reliance on stool pigeons. Such a system inevitably leads to corruption of the ugliest kind. There is’ a place in good police work for the stool pigeon; @ small and relatively unimportarit place. But in all too many cases a department will rely on the stool| pigeon too extensively. It does this because that is the easiest way. Genuine police efficiency is hard to at- tain. A lazy politician put in charge of a police force won't even try for it. He'll use the informer instead. ~ So the stool pigeon plays a big part in every large American police force; and the result, invariably, is cor- ruption and injustice. That is the way it always has been and that is the way it always will be. The real) lesson of this New York business is that the police de- partment that makes the paid informer a basic part of its foundation is going to come to grief. Wag es Go Down in Italy Conditions in- ty must be a great deal less roseate than the friends of Fascism have been claiming. Mus- solini’s drastic program of wage reduction, under which millions of workers and farmers are getting their incomes reduced from 8 to 25 per cent, is hardly a sign of good economic health. This program probably will involve a severe test of the| Wi power of the whole Fascist regime. It is hard to imagine) anything that would make a government much more un- popular with the rank and file of the citizens. If Mus- he is firmly enthroned. It is interesting to note that his program is out of line with modern economic thought. Henry Ford, for in- stance, would say that this wage-reduction plan is the surest way on earth to keep prosperity from returning to Italy. And Ford is not. exactly an amateur on the subject. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- une's policies, Useless Farm Autos (New Leipzig Sentinel) ‘The automobile has made it possible for us to go from state to state in less time than it once took to go from town to town. It has, by.giving us a fast economical and efficient means of transporting commodities over short distances, been of tremendous benefit to business. But the average city dweller overlooks the fact that these fine fruits of- the automobile are restricted, largely to comparatively urban areas. Five or ten or fifteen miles away from main highways, in farm localities, we several months of each year. The residents of these sec- tions are as completely cut off from personal and in- dustrial contacts with the outside world as were their grandfathers.

Some roads, which cost hundreds of dollars per} The amazing progress of the twentieth century was|Thanksgivinj mile annually to maintain, are never in good condition because they are not of a type suited to the traffic or the conditions to be met. ‘The question as to whether this state shall go in for hard-surfaced roads, financed by a bond issue if neces- sary, is @ momentous one. It seems safe, however, to predict that the change from the present policy must be made. Our highway department is too rapidly be- coming a mere maintenance organization. Unless some- thing is done—and that soon—it will fall of its own weight. To Banish Unemployment Governor Roosevelt of New York has announced that he will invite the governors of six other eastern states to confer with him on unemployment. Among the problems he wishes to consider are: The extension of the free public employment bureau sys- tem; the development of the technique of public works planning so as to spread them throughout the year; the providing’ of a public fund reserve in good times to be used in bad times; the study of unemployment insur- ance in its broad aspects; the standardization of labor and compensation laws and the standardization of taxes affecting industry. To most of these proposals there will be little opposi- lon, and if Mr. Roosevelt's conference can create some means of standardizing taxes on industry it will achieve @ public service of the first importance. The same is true of unemployment insurance and the proposed public relief funds, At their worst they can be very bad indeed, as the English dole system has demonstrated. At their best they can serve a useful purpose. The aim should be to so employ them that they will aid the unfortunate and at the same time add no burden to taxpayers and businesses. Unemployment is a social and economic disease that must be cured. So long as millions of men are unable to find work, industrial leaders and public officials will have a duty to perform. How the British Do It ‘The British believe in being thorough, even in small matters, It is not surprising, therefore, to read that they have clamped down on the menace of the in- toxicated automobile driver in = way to indicate that they mean business. ‘Their new traffic regulations do away with all of the old tests for drunkenness; indeed, it is not even neces- their motor vehicles useless. the result of the mechanization of all phases of industry. ro digg nab has not sufficiently shared in this movement, Our farmers need good reads which are serviceable at all times of the year. Such roads can be built at low cost with the use of asphaltic materials for waterproof- ing the surface and pay for themselves time and again in increased farm prosperity. Holiday Lightin; (La Moure County Chi No better plan has been offered lately by the commun- ity club than the proposed lighting of the business streets during the holiday season. Many of the smaller towns arotind us, as well, of course, as the larger cities, have: displayed beautiful strings of colored lights during the Christmas-tide. La Moure should certainly join the pro- cession if we are to show ourselves the progressive little city we have hitherto been. In this strained period of financial uncertainty and the general feeling of depression, what tould be more. to both local and rural shoppers than the gay and holiday spirit invited by special lighting effects and decorations? Christmas-time should, by rights, be the happiest time in the year. The holiday spirit grips us all but once a year and we need every encouragement: if we are to get that happy feeling this year. and newspapers are universally advocating the slogan, “Buy Now, and Bring Prosperity Back!” Surely there is no better way of putting us all in that mood than by making this coming season brighter and the club to put the plan through if it is at all possible. It should be considered one of the best plans of the season, Shop and Mail Early (Bowman County Pioneer) Each year about this time, it becomes entirely in ordér to include in these columns a plea to the Christmas shop- Ping public to get your shopping and mailing done early. The postoffice department has issued its annual cry for assistance from the shoppers and mailers in order that it may be aided in handling the usual tremendous amount of business which is done during the holiday season. ‘The pamphlet issued by Walter F.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS » Sclatica * Question: Mrs. R. writes: “My husband is suffering from sciatica. He cannot sleep at night for the pain. in his limb. He has tried every %, known remedy but to no avail. I would be glad if you would print an article on the subject.” Answer: Sciatica is the name giv- en to rheumatism of the sciatic nerve. If your husband will use the proper measures to rid his system of the rheumatic poisons, the pain in the limb will leave as quickly as rheuma- tism will disappear from any other part of the body. I do not have space in this column to give complete instructions, and it will be necessary for you to write to me personally, en- closing a large, self-addressed, stamp- ed envelope, and I will send directions # for treatment in your husband's case.” When Fruit Causes Rash Question: Mrs, T. K. writes: “When my five-year-old son eats to- matoes, cantaloupes or acid fruit such as oranges, a rash breaks out on his body and the itching from this rash drives him to dig into the skin with his nails. Shall I use a solution of soda to allay it and thereby sup- Press it, or persist in the use of a fruit diet with the hope that event- ually it will rid his system of the toxin or whatever it may be that seems to be seeking an outlet through the epidermis?” ‘ Answer: Fruit is a valuable but Gangerous food, and should be used carefully. No two \fruits should be used together at the same meal. If tomatoes or cantaloupes are used with a starchy meal, there is bound to be excessive fermentation, which pro- duces acidosis, and often rash de- velops from this. It is all right to use soda to stop the itching, as it will not suppress the trouble at all, but only relieve the effect. If you will put your son on a fast for a few days, using either orange juice or tomatoes, I am sure that you will be able to overcome his tendency to acidosis.
