AS SPEED INCREASES
DEATH RATE RISES
Tlie upturn in motor- accident
deaths, in 1933, as indicated in census
bureau figures cf fatalities in S6
large American cities which repre
sent about one-fourth of the annual
tell in the natron, may well suggest
the thought that the growing tend
ency toward speed on the highways
is bavins its effect. As officials of
the bureau of public roads interpret
the available statistics there was an
h.cier.so of 6 per cent in car deaths
in IS 33, a sharp reversal of the re
cord in 1932, when fatalities de
' creased 13 per cent. A part of the
timeline in 1932 is explained by the
fact that fewer cars were in use, the
induction for that year having been
about 6.G per cent in registered motor
vehicles.
But last year no such compensat
ing influence is to be found in ex
planation of the reversal upward. In
fact, bureau of mines data on the
consumption of gasoline during the
year indicate that travel mileage in
creased no more than 1 per cent dur
ing the year, ar.d that may be ac
counted for in part by the operation
cf old and wasteful cars. We will
have to cearch deeper for the causes
oi' the increase in deaths.
So if it isn't the speed element,
what is it? Official of the bureau of
roads are not convinced that speed
is entirely innocent. In fact, cne of
them is quoted as saying: "I don't
believe it will ever be possible eco
nomically to build highways for gen
eral use which arc suitable to speeds
ranging upward from 4 5 to SO miles
an hour. Drivers should stay within
a speed limit of 45 miles." Yet we
iir.d thousands of drivers, both gcod
and had, in fitting cars and unfitting
cars, driving their machines along
the cpen road and even in traffic at
higher rpeede-, or trying to if their
ef!b""hre not up to that speed in me
chanical condition. Therefore the
death list mounts, taking the inno
cent and the drivers, indiscriminately-
This in - spite of the devices of
cafety that arc added to cars as their
potential speed is stepped up. And
with the precaution; of eafcr high
ways, better traffic regulations and
enforcement and all the preaching
that ca.i be done, effective not at all
in keeping up with the growing tend
enc3' toward cpee-d and more speed.
Some speedsters say accelerated traf
fic is a safety measure. But their
works do not bear them cut. Tables
of safe braking distances and the
unsafe condition of the average car
in urc and the growing toll cf the
read; ii:e to testify that we try to
get from one place to another alto
gether too quickly. St. Louis Glcbe

RECOGNITION DUE TO
THE RICH BUT HONEST
In the list of securities held by
a great life insurance company, those
issue3 which were in default were
marked with a star (). In the list
cf municipal, it is apparent that
something had gone wrong in Chi
cago for a number of subdivisions of
the great city were shown to have
committed acts of bankruptcy.
When the leading citizens, those
holding positions cf great trust,
which cau :c them to be lacked up
to, abscond and ekip the ccuntry af
ter having mismanaged vast private
investment--, there will ueuall
be
found rcmcthinc rotten also in the
public ciTair.3 of that community.
There are good credit cities, which
meet their obligations promptly and
in full. In such it will be usually
found that the leading privats in
stitutions are sound and solvent and
untouched by t'.-.e prevailing rascal
ity. There is such a thing as being rich
and respectable. Where the combin
ation is found it should ha given duo
honor. In these times, we hear of
those highly placed individual.-, who
have betrayed their trust-, who have
gambled with other people'e; money,
and we hear about it because tha
gamble was a loss. In cr.c city of Ne
braska, a public dinner wa3 given in
recognition of the bankers who had
guided the community through pre
vailing economic dangers without a
loss of one cent to tha depositois.
There might well be more cf such
recognition. Beatrice Sun. I

FEBRUARY A WARM MONTH
February in Nebraska was warm,
with slightly more than the average
precipitation and also more than av
erage sunshine, says Weather Ob
server Blair. Wind movement and
humidity were somewhat less than
normal.
Altho the average temperature was
5 degrees above normal there have
been several warmer Februarys in
recent years, notably in 1926, 1930
and 1931. The first seventeen days
were uniformly warmer than normal,
but the rest of the month was much
colder and there were two days when
zero temperatures occurred thruout
the state. Maximum temperatures
occurred most frequently on the 13th
and ranged at individual stations
from 54 to 75 degrees, but reached 70
degrees at about half of the stations.
The 26th was the coldest day, when
minimum temperatures ranged from
7 degrees at Omaha and Hebron to
31 degrees below at Gordon and
Nenzel.
Precipitation averaged about one
fifth more than the February normal,
and more than -either of the four im
mediately preceding February's. The
northeastern division was consider
ably drier than normal. In the east
ern half of the state there was no
precipitation during the first half of
the month, and in the western half
there was one moderate snowfall on
the 10th. There were frequent and
general snows from the 17th to the
25th, heavier in tha southern parts cf
the state than in the northern. To
tal precipitation for the month ex
ceeded an inch at most stations in
the southeastern and southwestern
divisions but was mostly less than an
inch in ether parts.
Farm activity was small but out
side construction work made gcod
progress until interrupted by the
cold weather of the last ten days.
This cold spell produced the only
good ice crop of the winter. The soil
was generally reported deficient in
moisture, and several windy days
caused considerable drifting.

KENTUCKY CASE OF
NEWSPAPER ETHICS
Because the Louisville Courier
Journal had published an article re
flecting on the Kentucky legislature,
the editor was summoned by a com
mittee of the' sensitive assembly,
which demanded that he give up the
name of tha author. This he refused
to do. He held that it would be, in
the first place, a violation of con
fidence, and, besides, would be
against a fundamental principle of
journalism. Thereupon the investi
gating committee proposed that he
be fined only a email sum, $25, out
cf "deference to his scruple?." In
the debate there was protest againf-.t
punishing a man for "not violating
his newspaper ethics." On the other
hand, it was asserted that he had
transgressed tha rules of the assem
bly, though how that enters into the
case it is hard to see. One represen
tative, himself a newspaper man, as
serted that "not a single newepaper
man in Kentucky" would have taken
a position different from that of the
Courier Journal.
The case is one not c-o much of
the freedom of the press as of its in
tegrity and responsibility. If an ar
ticel i.3 published which 13 libelous or
cb-cene, the courts may deal with it
in ('.113 course under the law. But a
great deal of information comes to a
newspaper under tha seal of con
fidence. This must not be broken.
Trusted correspondents need not sign
their name3 if they wish not to have
their identity known. The public in
terest dees not, in such caecs, center
upon an individual writer or source
cf information, but upon the general
reputation and character of the news
paper itself. This U the ground up
on which Mr. Armentrout stood, and
front it no conscientious editor would
allow himself to be driven by threat
or fine. New York Times.
:o:
Strange how come people who don't
pay any taxes are always so anxious
to champion the cause of the tax
payer. It sometimes seems to be a
draw between the taxpayer and the
Lord whose name is used the most
in vain.

UTTER DEGRADATION
INSULL'S PUNISHMENT
Undoubtedly, the existence Samuel
Insull i3 leading is preferable to fac- J
ing a Chicago jury and going to jail, j
in Samuel's Insu'll's opinion. But j
there is no reason why those who j
wish to punish this man should feel 1
that he is escaping his just desires.
For no punishment that could be in
flicted by a Chicago judge and jury,
not even a Chicago judge and jury .
that threw to the winds any and all
of Insull's legal rights to be assumed
innocent until he is proven guilty,
could summon the degradation for'
the man that he has chosen for him
self. There he is, as guilty in the eyes
of his countrymen, perhaps far
guiltier, than had he faced a jury of j
I his peers and allowed them to detcr-
mino his guilt or innocence. So far
as the moral verdict can be rendered
upon his deeds, for today and for the
long tomorrow, it is as emphatic as
any that coultl have been handed
down in any courtroom. Indeed, it
j may be worse. For it is conceivable
that in a courtroom evidence of a
mitigating character might have been
offered that would have commanded
some sympathy today and more to
morrow. It might have been seen, or
j suspected, by the discerning that tiie
i man was more the creature of a sys
tem and an environment than the
master of it, and that in a certain
measure his sins were the sins of
weakness and vanity, rather than of
the ruthless strength that is com-
! monly pictured. That chance Insull
has forfeited. In the eyes of his
countrymen he is guilty as a liend
from hell.
What remains is the choice of pun
ishment. In Chicago, Insull might
have gone to jail, a frightful fall, in
deed. So far he has escaped that.
But in Crete for nearly two years
he has been a trembling creature of
fears and the prey of schemers and
rascals and so feebly at their mercy
as to compel their contempt. And
tha end of ail that is the obscenity
of his flight, off into the indifferent
seas in a vermin-ridden freighter; a
wriggly human being lodged among
wriggly insects; a human being self
banned from human society, even the
society of unfortunates who stand
up to the price of their sins against
the common weal; a human being
who by choice affirms the barrier
raised against him by men of his
own breed and seeks ..somewhere
among the lowest of the earth to lay
his head, if only they will receive
him. in exchange for part cf the dol
lars that he managed to secrete in
the crashing cf what enca was called
his empire.
The law is clear. It says that the
authorities shall pursue him uiuii
they have brought him back to these
shores to stand trial for the crimes
of which he is accused. The author
ities must press on with their duty
under tha law. But he would be
strangely lacking in imagination who
believed that ic was within the power
of the law to inflict upon this man
any punishment comparable to that
he has chosen for himself. For Insull
has elected, not the punishment that
society metes out to the man who
sins, but the expulsion into nowhere
which human society has long re
served for its degenerates. Balti

HOLDING COMPANIES AEQVE LAV
Dividing four to iour, wUii Mr.
Justice Roberts not taking part, the
United States supreme court has af
firmed the right of the Pennsylvania
railroad to do through a holding
company what it could not do di
rectly that is, buy control of the
Wabash ar.d Lehigh Valley railroad.:
in defiance of the interstate commerce
commission.
In reality, the lower court decided
the ca;;e. If th ; decision in the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals had
bee-.i against the Pennsylvania, the
four to four vote in tho supreme
court would have had a deverse ef
fect. It would have denied the right
of the Pennsylvania to acquire the
competing reads.
The circuit court c; appeals in
dulged in tha purest sophistry when
it hold that the Pennsylania com
pany, owned entirely by tha Pennsyl
vania raliroad, bought it3 Wabash
ar.d Lehigh stock for investment pur
poses, and not to lessen competition.
There would be more reason to re
spect the decision if the court had
frankly admitted that the Pennsyl
vania railroad dodged the law by or
ganizing a holding company to do
something which in spirit was illegal.
That would put it squarely up to
congress to legislate cn the subject
of holding companies, a theme it has
been dodging for years.
Meanwhile, the Wabash has been
insida the Pennsylvania's stomach
for so many years that it ought to
be pretty thor'-ughiy digested by this
Leu's Star-Times.
2I0V DEBATING WHEN
RECOVERY STARTED
Last year people were talking
about the causes cf the depression
and when it began. Seme contended
that it staUcd in the early summer
of 1929 when the building trade be
gan to decline. A faw others con
tended that it didn't really start un
til the early spring of 1930. Others,
the majority, placed it at the end
of October, 1929, when the e;toek mar
ket crazhed. It makes little differ
ence now when the depression actual
ly started; we ail know we did go
through one.
Today people are debating not
when the depression started, but
when recovery began. Statistics,
claimed by many the only scientific
way of guaging economic trends,
show the low, was reached in July,
1932; after that recovery set in.
Former Vice-President Dawes is in
clined to set the date around Octo
ber, 1933. Others, the majority, see
eke first week of March, 1933, as the
low mark cf the depression, citing
the hank panic for their evidence. To
them that date marks the beginning
of the recovery.
A writer in the New York Times
.rays tha bi-centennial of Washington
was-, partie.lly at least, responsible
'cr recovery. People were determined
that in that historic year the coun
try should not go to pieces if thc-y
could prevent it. By a herculean ef
fort they managed to get the country
:n its feet again before that year
ended.
Certainly recovery was well under
way before the Century of Progress
closed at Chicago last November.
Over 22 million persons attended it
the largest number of people ever
.0 go to a world's fair. Millions of
dollars poured into Chicago. Its ho
tels, long empty, were crowded to
'.he limit. Long suffering stores and
restaurants took on a new lease of
life. Railroad stations and motor bus
terminals cgain -resounded with hu
man voice;- when before they had
been tombs. Chicago became a boom
city, but the money spent there also
helped the nation.
When men talk of recovery instead
of depression we can take it that
rxmething has happened. It makes
iittls difference the precise date when
recovery set in. The important thing
Is to realize that it has. Dayton

E. II. Ilarriman once was asked
If ho could sell a large block cf stock
et CO. lie replied that he could not,
hut that he could pttt the price up

e.t ever one hundred.
James R. Keene once declared that
to sell 20 thousand shares at a high
price you must buy 100 thousand and
sell 120 thousand. The estimate is
fair.
A famous broker in one of his
pool- in 1929 sold 152 thousand
shares one day. mid the same day had
to buy 10,Jif0 sharer;. A few days
later he sold 1S3 thousand shares,
but had to buy 259 thousand to sup
port the market. Oil one Anaconda
pool, in order to sell 130 thousand
shares the operators had to buy and
-ell 1.125, C00. On one Fox Film pool,
to r;ell 7C thousand shares they had
to sell 321 thousand and buy 215
thousand.
Do you thi:.k this all be-long: to

tillers Products corporation biggest
medicinal whiiky makers put out
ISO thousand new shares of stocks.
They were sold or exchanged by the
company at $2o a snare. 111:3 was
in June and July. At the very mom
ent when thcee shares were being is
sued for $25, they were being sold
cn the stock exchange at from $70 to
$124. There were only about 200
thousand shares in the company. Yet
in a few weeks over one million
hares were traded. Then suddenly,
on July 12, the alcohol stocks cresh
td and the' National Distiller in
thrco days dropped from 124 to 71.

millions cf dollars were lost in those
few weeks by foolish people. John

Trade Pacts
Nearly Ready

Expect Big Export Gain "to Mexico,
Brazil and Cuba Pact Is
BDing Rushed.
New York, March 21. An early
conclusion is expected in the nego
tiations for trade pacts with three
Latin-American countries, Mexico,
Brazil and Cuba, and a considerable
increase in American exports to
those countries can then be expected,
commercial leaders said today.
Trade between the United States
and Mexico has steadily advanced in
in favor of American exporters, chief
in favo rof American exporters, chief
ly dua to the fact that tha Mexican
peso is pegged to the dollar.
Ceck Reciprocity.
Advices from Mexico state, how
ever, that the benefit to the United
States is largely incidental because of

the government there.

about their heads to protect them
from the smoke. To reach the third
floor on his way to find the fire, Sho
