Gas-Foot Advice. “Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” Maybe you can’t associate that old philosophy with your 1927 safety.; Maybe you are one of those who Controls his temper at ft ll times, never getting mad —that is, “anything that amounts to anything.” All fair enough—a few years ago— but not in £hia day and age. The road hog in big super-six and the growing tendency amongst all of us not to be imposed upon, js the reason. Don’t get mad—even—while driving an automobile. Sure ft makes you mad—when-they out in on you, paas on the wrong side, fail to aignal far turn, etc. Records from teru traffic courts in as many different peaks of the United States show that momentary loss of temper by drivera is the cause of n majority of motor smaahups.

Mrs. CobluTge Hikes -NATIONAL- Could Reduce Rates on Farm Products Without Cutting Pay y Chicago, March 7.—On the same day President Cobtidge vetoed the Mc Nary-Haugen farm relief bill, he ed the branch banking bill which described as giving what amounts to a (perpetual charter to the Federal Re serve System, and increased the tariff on pig i#on fifty per cent, Senator Smith W. Brook hart, of Iowa, said here yesterday in an address before the Chicago forum. This action by the President on the same day, Senator Brook hart said, shows the whole story of the legisla tive-economic situation which now oppresses the American farmer. The railroads, he said, were given a value by government order of nearly $19,000,000,00o. On this value, the government decided, they have a right to earn a prifit of 5.75 per cent. But in reality, said Senator Brookhart, the true value of the roads is less than $12,000,000,00o and the government al lowed profit amounting to more than 9 per cent. Citing what he described as other transaction injustices, he added: “If these things were made right, the rates on farm products could be reduced without reducing the wages of eny railroad worker.” The manufacturing industries, -‘her said, represent only two-thirds the ital represented by agriculture, threei-quartors of the number of workers employed on farme. Yet, he declared, American farms did only twelve and one-third billion of dollars of business in 1923 against 44 billions for manufacturing industries if the figures for manufacturing were ad justed to the farm basis. “All these things,” he said, “the railroad laws, the federal reserve sys tem, the tariff, the patent and public utility laws, were brought by acts of congress. “The farmers are the only „ cl^ss which, the president saya, can take care of themselves without protection. If you do not watch out, agriculture will be industrialized and controlled by New York, jpst as you may have the hindquarters of the railroads in Chi cago, but their headquarters are in New York. And then agriculture no longer will be organized in what has always been the true American unit —the farm home and the- farm family.” il 18 j IT ISN’T NECESSARY TO Violate the “Blue” Sunday Law , . .* i nor go without your u*ual “dope” on Sun- day if you , ll order a case of sent around to your house..
