All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved Our Accident Record Accidental deaths in America this year will total 110,000, the highest mortality on record, according to reports made to the annual convention of the National Safety Council held recently in Atlantic City. The highest previous toll was 101,139 { in 1984. The record was complete for the first eight months of this 1 year when the report was made and it assumed that the same } rate of mortality. would continue until the year's end. is Of the prospective increase of 10,000, some 6,000 deaths H are attributed to the heat waves of last summer with the i remaining 4,000 spread over home, public and occupational deaths. d In North Dakota the total of automobile traffic deaths is higher now than it was a year ago, but in the nation as a whole the first eight months of 1936 disclosed a reduction of about two per cent. On this basis, highway fatalities this year will total approximately 36,300 instead of the 37,000 slaughtered in 1935, . The report also gives some idea of the terrific cost of our carelessness as a people for, in addition to the deaths, there will be about 9,500,000 non-fatal injuries before the year is out and the estimated loss will be approximately $3,800,000,000. Of the non-fatal injuries, 1,250,000 will be in the automobile field and the loss there will be $1,550,000,000. The American home continues to be the site of more fatal accidents than occur in other any place. The number this year will be about 40,000, a sharp increase from the previous year. This is largely due to the fact that most heat deaths occurred at home but a 10 per cent increase in other types of home fatal- ties also is noted. Greater industrial activity will raise the total of deaths in gainful employment about 1,000 to approximately 17,500 by the end of the year. Public accidents not involving vehicles, such as from floods, hurricanes, freezing, poisoning, fires, firearms, snake bites and } drowning are estimated at 19,500 or 1,500 more than occurred in 1935. The net result of the report is to leave the impression that i Americans are not a cautious people. This fact may be an asset in summing up the total of our national progress, but it also is evident that we pay a heavy price for it. i Drunken Driving 4 One: of the distinguished and influential thinkers of our i day is Bruce Catton of NEA Service, who writes a good many of the “canned” editorials which appear in newspapers, the editors of which do not have time to write their own. Because his writings appear in hundreds of newspapers throughout the country, his thoughts are likely to be reflected in all parts of the nation and, since they usually are sound, they may play an important part in moulding public opinion. Here is what he has to say, in part, on the question of drunken driving: “The man who flung his hat in the air and gave three cheers when the eighteenth amendment was repealed ought to be leading @ campaigh these days to rid the roads of drunken motorists. For if there is one thing that could conceivably restore national prohibi- tion, it is the deadly mixture of alcohol and gasoline. “Anyone who thinks that the American people will put up with this menace indefinitely is crazy. Traffic is dangerous enough even when all hands are stone sober. Add to it those half wits who don’t see anything wrong in getting behind the wheel after they have had a few drinks, and you create an intolerable situation. “Continue that situation long enough and you will find a new ssentiment for prohibition, just as surely as night follows day.” He follows this up by mentioning specific cases in which dnnocent persons have met death because of the recklessness, ignorance or boorishness of others who were driving under the influence of alcoholic drinks. In his statement Mr, Catton says what The Tribune has said in other words and on other occasions. He is right when he intimates that those who are against prohibition should be most interested in driving the drunken driver from the high- WAYS.

This is good news for the simple reason that such an or- ganization as the Black Legion is completely and everlastingly un-American. There can be no place for it in this country. The rule of the gun and whip is eternally alien to our way of life; the misguided men who have been sold on this atrocious organization's program may see: in the Michigan verdicts & symbol of the way the public reacts to the Black Legion's activities.

Winant Is Too Upright to Resign and Then Come Back. . . Deme- crats Could Use Some More Cash « . « Advice of Son Inflgences F. D. \. to Visit Massachusetts, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington C Washington, Oce, 13.—It might be going too far to suggest that the two major candidates for the highest honor the people can bestow don't know what they're talking about, but anyone who wants to spend an after- noon championing that thesis will find plenty of ammunition. A candidate is only as accurate as his advisers and spcech-writers will let him be and that’s a good alibi when he goes wrong on his facts, But it’s a bit startling when you find both Roosevelt and Landon hav- ing trouble with the elementary arith- metical processes of addition and sub- traction, let alone multiplication and division. ° Just why: Roosevelt should say that, the national income sank from 81 bil- lion dollars to 38 billions four years ago and that this was a difference of 41 billions probably will always re- main a mystery. Last April he was boasting that the national income had risen from 35 billions in 1932 to 65 billions in 1936, but in his recent Pittsburgh speech he said it had risen from 38 billions to 53 billions last year and 60 billions in the current year. Probably nobody should quibble about a misplaced billion or two, but fiscal sharks are insisting that F, D. R. was misled or-misleading, or both, for Department of Commerce figures for national income paid out show 78 billions in 1929, 48 billions in 1932, and 53 billions in 1935, The figures for “national income Produced” are 81, 39, and 53 billions, respectively, but Roosevelt for his purposes defined national income as in the former category. ** * LANDON MAKES BIG PROMISE Now take a look at Candidate Landon. The Kansas governor talked at and from Des Moines to the farmers. One of his promises called for “tariff equivalent” payments to farmers on the domestically consumed portion of crops of which there is an exportable surplus, ‘ That plan, applied only in a limit- ed way, farm experts have figured out, would cost the Treasury more than two billion dollars a year. Ap- plied to wheat and corn it would cost an average of $719,000,000 a year to give the farmers full tariff benefit, which is considerably more than the cost of the most ambitious AAA pro- gram to date. The cost on dairy pro- ducts would be about 744 millions and on beef and veal some 448 millions, according to the experts. ** * CONSCIENCE RULES WINANT There is much doubt in the administration camp whether John G. Winant, former Republi- can governor of New Hampshire, will return to the post of chair- man of the Social Security Board, which he resigned to feel free to reply to Governor Landon’'s at- tacks on the social security act. Winant, some who know him well say, has such a strong sense of rectitude that he wouldn't con- | sider a temporary resignation under the circumstances quite the right thing. xk * MONEY WORRIES DEMOCRATS Money is coming in 80 slowly to the Democratic chest that some of the pure-minded New Deal boys are be- ginning to wonder, after a Jast-min- ute rush of funds, whether the party will find itself again obligated to a smooth group of lobbyists and the special interests they represent. Some- thing like that happened in 1932. W. Forbes Morgan, treasurer of the national committee, is the son-in-law of .Bob Jackson of New Hampshire, who is perhaps the most successful lobbyist in Washington. Morgan has been’ accused of stir- ring up bitterness and jealousy at campaign headquarters and of var- fous other things, but no one ever accused him of over-squeamishness as to where the campaign money came from. He was formerly with a Wall Street house and is related to Mrs. Roosevelt. * *k *- F. R. CHOOSES SON'S ADVICE | The president will make a speech in Massachusetts because his son Jimmy urged him to come and told him he had a chance to carry the state. Other advisers almost unanimously recommended that Roosevelt stay out of the Bay State, assuring him he had no chance of beating Landon there, and that he would merely be running the risk of a cold reception.

I do, not mean in electoral votes or in popular vote necessarily, but in the division’ of the classes of voters. ,I had an opportunity here to make a study first hand of what I believe is the most scientific poll or straw anyone in the present campaign. It is a state- wide vote being taken by the Colum- bus Dispatch, which has been taking polls in Ohio for many years with an amazing record of accuracy. ‘The poll happens to be the personal hobby of Harry P. Wolfe, publisher or the Columbus Dispatch, ‘who has himself handied so many polls in past campaigns that he can tell you off- hand = exactily how each county gach city, each town, each sec- tion of the state voted in various elections, what the change in the re- turns this year indicates from those; same localities and what the whole thing averages up to as more and more ballots come in. But, first, as to method. Ballots are handled both by mail and by per- sonal canvass, but, unlike the Gallup poll, for example, the canvassers do not engage in any conversation or ask any questions, but simply hand the citizens a blank ballot and an en- velope in which to scal it in secrecy while the canvasser waits for the marking. : atl il i sevelt of between 8 ehd 10 Now the rural countics;: about 38 per cent of the i E 3 Governor...

But as- suming that the trend in the country is 16 per cent plurality for Landon There are four main divisions. One is to send canvassers to factories and plants in industrial centers and to take a vote as men come in or go out from their work. A second task is to take what is called a “street vote” in the same cities and towns, and the third is to send canvassers into office buildings in the downtown or business sections and to stores and shops. The fourth division of the work is to mail ballots to rural voters in the agricultural counties in huge quanti- ties so as to get a good cross-section of Democratic as well as Republican counties. Thus the farmers and their wives are reached by mail and the city women, = The Columbus dispatch poll is Only 25,000 ballots have Now, as to rate of returns, the mail- ed ballots are bringing in answers to the amount of 18 per cent, which is also adequate for sample purposes. To offset the disadvantage with res- pect to labor and factory workers who wouldn’t be reached by mail and to insure a quantitative test, the per- sonal canvass reaches large cross- sections in cities and towns in differ- ent parts of the state. In other words, as good a sample as is humanly possible on a fairly large scale is being canvassed by the Columbus dispatch poll. Now what does the poll show thus far or indicate for the future in Ohio? The total votes published to date include mostly cities, and the A BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN 1S RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN The business man dashed into the em- ployment agency. “Look here,” he said to the clerk, “I'm looking for a cashier.” The clerk surprised. “Why, sir,” he said, “I thought I furnished you with one last week. “I know,” came the irritable reply. “That's the one I'm looking for.” “You know the longest way around is the shortest way home.” “So, you're @ sage.” “No, I'm a taxi driver.” Wife (closing lunch basket) —Oh, isn’t it romantic here?
