Nobody’s Business
By Get McGta
SEEKING A SETTLEMENT [him. Their answer through one of
It was recently our privilege to hearj their spokesmen was that “We don’t
have to work. We belong to the Red
an able address' from Senator Millard
£. Tidings of Maryland, in which he
discussed several serious and far-
reaching post-war problems now con
fronting America, and proposed an
international conference at Washing
ton to deaLwith such issues.
The big question of this country’s
war debts was discussed by Senator
Tydings, his position being that there
must be some immediate and sensible
settlement of this issue before there
can be any real return to world pros
perity. We may set up temporary or
experimental plah.s and schemes, he
said, but the sooner these long-hang
ing war obligations are settled, and
settled permanently, the sooner there
will be a stable basis upon which
America and other nations may do
business on a profitable basis. His
proposal, to us, is .sound. A, plan of
settlement, wiping-out, or arbitration
of some kind must be agreed upon for
the belief is now-general that these
long over-due debts will never be
liquidate<l.
-We know a merchant who engaged
in the credit'business for years. One
day he began to.analyse his business
and found that it was steadily slip
ping. After a careful check-up of his
books he wrote a letter to his custom
ers owing him stating that their ac
counts Had been marked off his books
and forgotten, and inviting them to
come back and spen<l their cash money

Cross and the RFC.’’ This attitude
prevails among many today, both
white and colored. Benx pwkers in
New Jersey refused to pick berries
rottening on the .vines b^ause they
were on the direct relief rolls. Al
though men and their families had
beein doini* this work year after year,
they refused to answer the sefsonal
call when it came and an opportunity
for proffered jobs was theirs.
This is a bad situa^on and one that
is having a ruinous effect upon labor.
Washington authorities are right
when they say such conditions must
be put to an end—if they really mean
what they say. “ ~
There are too many who prefer
easy, unearned cash ^rom the govern-
ment| fo hard-earned cash from an
employer. Too much encouragement is
being given, it seems to us, to the no
tion that there can be pay without
work—that work is a hard, unintended
thing for people, and that play and
loafing should -be the chief object of
life.

SAFETY MEASURES NEEDED
An article in Public Safety, by Rob
ert I, Gatlin, points out that there are
three factors involved in solving the
alarniing automobile accident prob
lem—Education, Engineering and F]n-
forcement. According to the writer,
Enforcement represents the weakest
link 4n the- chain, and he maker-spe
cific suggestions for strengthening
and improving bur legal machinery
for coping with reckless and incompe-
tefvt drivers.
First, every state should enact the
“standard” drivers’ license law, pro-
holsum moore informed yore corry
spondenT, mr. mike Clark, rfd, that; it
was so hot in his poultry yard that one
of his old domminicker hens laid 2
little chickens on tuesday morning;

well as could be expected ansoforth.

axes^are pai^l by the wealthy an. i revoking of licese.s of

tive idea of certain classes being im
mune from taxes shUw's an appalling
ignorance .(.m the part cf many who
are blinded under any such dclu.sion.
The fallacy that the “rich” should,
or can he made to iH'ar the tex-burden
is one of the most dangerous errors
of iiolitical thought. It makes U easy
—lot- demagogues-, to revel in public
extravagance and the expenditure of
jiublic money mPthe theory that they
arc "helping the jioor” and'^that the
“rich will have to pay.” No system
which v,Tll soak the rich an<l the rich
only for the benefit of the poor, has
ever been devi.^tnl, or ever will be. The
consumer pays in the end and the poor
man is a much bi'gger consumer in
Third, separate traffic courts should
be established, who.se ipurpose should
be education as well as punitive.
Fourth, traffic schools should be set
up for violators of driving laws, un
der the supervision of the police de
partment. This has been done in sev
eral cities, and the work is meeting
with great success.
Fifth, there should be more ade
quate protection for pedestrians-^who
are the worst sufferers from danger

walkways and overhead and under
ground passages, across congested in
tersections.
. Sixth, a citizens’ advisory committee:
should be created in every city to co
art square reports that his wife
gathered vegger-tahles out of the
garding for dinher last rncnday and
that the squashes and corn on cob and

PAY W^ITHOUT WORK
Instructions .have been sent out
from Washington to cut off immedi-
; ately from relief rolls all persons who
refuse a job, the order coming in re
sponse to a^coinplaint from thousands
. of farmers in Western farming areas
that many on the relief lists there pre
ferred the dole to jobs.
In South Dakota all federal state
relief, was ended until “farmers need
ing help with their harvests have been
aui^lied wTth such help.” In Illinois
relief work in rural areas was halted;
in Kansas recipients of aid were noti
fied they'would be dropped if they
refused jobs; and in Iowa able-bodied
persons were taken off the dote and
instructed to join the threshers.

in the hart of town on la.st friday end
ed in a verry big lawsuit betwixt the
owner of the ford and the owner of
the said dog. ^
evverdence conoe out befoar the
maggistrate that the said dog wa.s the

that the ford was the personal prop
erty of bert jonee and the finance

-newer tetched a drop of licker in his
life, and that the said poodle did, with
due notis from the car and his horn,
run out in front of the said ford and
tried to bite it on its hind wheel with
serious intene of injury to same.
