During ■ that"same period'appr^imatcly SOjOOO' persons were killed by automobiles. Meanwhile the railroads are in creasing their speed and doing it ef ficiently. Many states are insisting on reduced speed on the highways as a potent weapon in the war against our mounting toll of automobile acci dents and _deaLhs. Here’s food for thought — the atrongest indictment against the reckless, careless, incom petent driver who causes accidents and violates traffic laws. Mra.

OUR HEAVIEST EXPENSE What is the largest item in your family budget? If I you answer food, clothing, rent or ^im^ilar expenses, on which you spend the bulk of your income direct ly, you’re dead wrong. Taxes are the largest item of expense carried by the American people, and they lead their closest competitor by a wridej margin. F’ood, the most vital of all necessi ties, costs the nation $7,600,000,000 a year. Clothing takes ^,600,000,000. Kept also takes $3,600,000,000, and automobiles dent the national pocketr book to the extent of $2,900,000,000; Kh'ct'ric service costs United States' jamilie."; only $6r)0,0tK),000. i ' The natio’nal tax hill, by com'pari- - Thursday evening.

Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee Social Events In Flat Rock our little tow’n was woke up last night about 9 o’clock when a terrific explosion took place on main street, the sody fountain in the drug stoar blowed up, but noboddy got hurt, as JieRMAN BOBS UP AGAIN ifter lying dormant for the past! they had all closed and gone home several \veeks, the thifty-hbur week [the poleesman did not hear it at the labor biU,_J)acked by the American ;citty hall one block away. Federation of Ijibor, has bobbed up in the .senate again in connection with the .NRA discussion. If pa.sse<k the measure would place a rigid thirty- hour law on all industry except agri culture. One wonders how many people real ly know what is being sougrht by those who are attempting to pass the 30-hour week bill through Congress. It is one of those things that sounds so plausible that few people' realiie what it means, how far-reaching it would be in effect. mr. perry winkle, who moved into flat rock 2 weeks ago flks not opened up his bizness yet, but will do so as The theory for-^the-passage of-euehj*ooft-as-he-gets a go we rment^eheckr N J a Wll is that there are just as many unemployed with the average work week in industry now set at 40-hours. You chop away one-fourth of the hours and you increase the number of jobs in the* same proportion. But economics is. not as simple as that in spite of the propaganda of Gorman and his crow’d. If it were we would - all.be statesmen and economists. The real danger in considering such a bill is that instead of increasing the number of jobs, we will destroy the industries w’hich now provide the jobs, that farmer, worker and oon- fumer alike will find his situation far more critical than now. The pending legislation provides that the 30-hour week shall prevail with no decrease in pay. Another bright idea by Mr. Gorman. The natural question that 'arises in the mind of any thinking person is this—won’t the cost of pro- ' duction be-TTTcreased just one-fourth 1 And won’t those who go into the store to buy—^Ihe farmer, the consumer and the man who has produced the gOods —be forced to pay the increased cost ? Then from another angle, what ha'p- pens to the American living stan dards? We have come to accept that a man can work as much as he desires and make that much more income'. But this legislation would limit his earn ing capacity to 30 hours a week. Even if he were making one dollar an hour ^ he could not make more than thirty dollars. ^ ~ Walk through a 10-cent store and ^ jee the amazing things you can buy for a dime, and try to remember w)»t • your grandfather and grandmother had to pay for'similar articles. Then aak yourself if yqjt' believe all these things can, be done' so much more cheaply that every^y who makes them can have a one-third -boost in 'wages, on one day’s notice, or even OB a yeBr’a ndtite, and still make filings to sMl for a dime.
