DISREGARD FOR LAW automobiles The passing of satisfactory examinations to drive acidents. Any one can on the public highways will not eliminate one can learn to drive an automobile, pass an examination and any are drivwhich facts are conclusively borne out because most people who agitate laws to provide for licenses to ing automobiles. Those drive are only doing so because there is a little more easy money in and the people should not stand sight for the political chair warmer, the automofor any more holdups on the automobile; Heaven knows bile is taxed beyond all discretion. What we do need, however, are strict laws regulating traffic and the inforcement of them. The automobile driver has no more murder right to run over you and demolish your property, perhaps deyou, on the highway than he would have to break into your house, molish your property and hit you over the head with a club. And yet our judges appear in a trance when an automombile accident is brought to their attention. Probably a small fine, and probably only a reprimand may be the decision rendered. A $50 fine placed upon a drunken driver who probably has wrecked some ones car, is an insult to human intelligence. People are beginning to believe that an attorney is not the proper person for a judge; judges are fast proving their incompetency on the bench and the great increase of crime and laxness in handling cases is fast undermining our legal profession. If the driver of an automobile knew that he was held responsible for his every act on the road and if a serious accident brought on because of carelessness and disregard of law eliminated that driver from our public highways; if a driver who ran down a person and killed them and continued on was held for first degree murder and a life term in prison faced that driver, we would have very few We claim that a tax cannot correct evil or crime. Disrespect for law is the of law and the lax methods in administering law. Laws are made to be obeyed and the guilty should be punished. However, during the few years we have had so many fanatical laws placed upon our statute books that the people are fast becoming to ridicule all law; personal liberties which the colonials fought for have been taken from us and it is no wonder that the people in general are showing their contempt for law and order. The good citizen tries to do the right thing as he always does but the unscrupulous who have no respect for their neighbor, takes advantage of the present muddled situation and lives as his conscience dictates regardless of all law and order. What then can any one expect different from what we are getting. Murder today is just as common as a burgulary was a few years ago in the United States. Such is not the condition in Canada, non-enforceme- nt and yet there is no material diference between the Canadians an we come of the same races and all are an English speaking race, Let us use some common sense in handling careless auto drivers and see that the injured get justice. Where there is no jj there is no respect for law. ie m in SOCIALIST CLAIMS ANSWERED lii on Why is the United State so different from any other con earth? Because the founders of this nation drew up a constitution built a practical working form of government around the central! of personal liberty for the individual unhampered by official tape and bureacratic control and regulation . In spite of the prosperity in this nation, in spite of the tages and opportunties offered the individual as compared to i nations, there is constant agitation to replace the time-teste- d and cessful American policy which favors private initiative arid q !prise with European forms of socialism which stand as rank ures in comparison with American progress. In a recent debate, Morris Hillquist, national Socialist attempted: to show the advantage of public ownership overpni ownership of industry. The main tests of the comparitive of the two systems may be enumerated under following h said Mr. Hillquist. One, cost of service; two, its quality; position of employes; four, effects on public life. On all of tests public ownership proves itself superior. Such statements go unanswered. As to cost of service: It is a generally accepted fact that politics enters into the management of an industrial undertaking, of operation increases. But given the same management, the l saving a publicly operated property could make over a privately crated property would be through less interest it might have to pat financing itself with public bonds. This would not! real saving because the tax load which the public property n escape would not be eliminated but simply shifted to the shouldei other With state and government regulation of po utility industries as it exists today, and equally good manageu for each, the cost of service from public or private plants wook the same if both were As to the quality of service, Mr. Hillquist cannot point other country in the world where the common everyday citizen such service from electric light, telephone, street railway, gas, railroad companies, as he does right here in the United States. I royalty cannot have it as good as in most European countries. When it comes to the position of employes, Mr. Hillquist? gument has not a leg to stand upon. Under the leveling effect socialism, what chance has a public employe to better his condil by long and faithful work. Politics would rule the top positions and offer little reward a lifetime of service. As to the effect on public life, resulting from publico1 ship of basic industries, it would paralyze initiative and ambition remove the very spirit which the founders of his government vis to build up in the consciousness of the American people. race of independents would be developed if all had to depend11 the government for a job. The paralyzing effect of socialism our public life is the greatest argument against it. While Mr. Hillquist is endeavoring to turn private in over to government ownership, private industry has been quietlyt ing itself over to the people. In other words, every large industi the United States today is placing its securities in the hands of stockholders, until millions of persons are now the actual of Big Business which the Socialist would destroy. man, woman and child who has an interest in one of these A industries is interested in seeing it succeed.
