STATES RIUHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND DUTIES THE problem of states lights is hack again. complicated the relations of the colonies before the revolution. It almost lost the revolutionary war. It caused the failure of the confederation. It split the country once. And it is still will) ns, in still another guise, in Purely political questions of states rights have been largely solved and put behind us. Rut in a world whose eyes focus on economic rather than political matters, states rights is back with a new set )f problems. The constitution plainly meant the country to be one economic unit. Until recently no one questioned the advantages of the largest free trade area in the world. On that we built our prosperity, our strong world position. Today we are tearing it down. The gradually-risin- g trade barriers which are cropping it)) between states will be tellingly revealed to the National Conference on Interstate Barriers when it meets in Chicago, April keenly alive to the menace. And at the very time of this breaking-apar- t comes a proposal that would centralize and unify a different field. Senator Capper has introduced a bill (which would require a prior constitutional amendment) to give to the federal government the right to make uniform marriage, divorce, and childcare laws for the entire country. At the moment when states are getting around the constitution by setting up what amount to tariffs and which deeply affect the business of other states, it is proposed that they give up power to regulate personal phases of their citizens lives which only slightly affect people of other states, and turn this power over to uniform national regulation. This is a strange approach to states rights In 1929. National economic unity and uniformity is u source of strength and a benefit to all. It would seem a proer field for national regulation only. Yet the states are busily engaged in tearing it down with appressive truck laws, oleomargarine, liquor, and regulations, farm products regulations, use taxes, and other laws that could easily Balkanize what had been a mighty nation. Yet at the same time it is proposed that they surmarrender their rights to make their riage and divorce laws conform to local usge and culture, and to subject them to national uniform regulation. It is hard to see how one states laws on this subject greatly affect the eople of other states. That seems to make it a natural field for state legislation. It looks very much as though we were approaching both these states rights problems w 5-- 7, port-of-entr- y highly-person- al rong-side-t- o.

A few figures might serve to bring about a more forceful realization of why we need safety education: Our nation has fought six major wars since 1776. In tod tal, these war extended over a of fifteen years. The number n in of American soldiers killed or died of wounds during these fifteen years of war was 214,357, according to avihthle statistics.

For instance, exceeding the speed limit was responsible for 9 380 persons killed. 227,560 injured. This offense was responsible for 37 per cent of all traffic deaths. Another common error committed by screwdrivers" is that of reckless driving, and that accounted for 17 per cent of all traffic deaths.
