The question has recently been asked with increasing insistence through
out the country: Can Roosevelt be
re-elected? The more this question
is propounded the uneasier becomes
the Democratic leadership. To restore this waning confidence, which
started on its downward course with
the United States Supreme Court detision respecting NRA, the President
will “swing around the circle,” reassuring, claiming and declaiming.
We surmise that presently he will
begin to lay the blame for New Deal
failures on the shoulders, of the nine
justices of the Supreme Court.

As a whole, looking back over the
last two years, there is little pertaining to the administration side of
the relief program which commends
itself to\business men. By that we
do not mean that those in immediate charge of finding employment
and carrying out the many projects
approved and undertaken, have not
done their best. The maladjustments
are mainly in Washington where a
feud between Hopkins and Ickes has
attained national notoriety. This
feud sifting down through: all the
intermediates, regional, state and
county directors is probably largely
responsible for catch-as-catch-can
local programs. The whole period has
been characterized by wastes, comparable to and probably equal to
those occuring when the country is
at war. When. government does anything in a hurry, it would seem, tlie
cost. is bound to be high.

REGISTRATION OF
AUTOS GOES UP
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 26. — With
automobile registrations for the first
seven months of the year only short
42,860 of the greatest 12-month total registration in the history of, the
state, California apparently is destinsmash all annual records by
the end of 1935.
Ray Ingels, director of motor vehicles, today made this optimistic
report to Gov. Frank Fr. Merriam
when he stated that from January 1
to July 31.a total of 1,899,109 pleasure cars was registered. This figure
compares with the 12-month total of
1,941,969 pleasure cars regisiered in
the record year of 1930.
In the seven month period of this
year, o total of 2,139;452 vehicles—
including trucks, trailers, pleasure
cars and motorcycles—ras registered. This figure compares with the
record all-time vehicle’ registration
of 2,145,474 made in 1981.
An interesting picture of California’s motor’ vehicle registration
growth is told in Director Ingels’
report, which shows that there were
only 6428 all-type vehicles listed in
the first report of the state department for the period March 22, 1905
to June 30, 1906. The state first exceeded the million registration mark
in 1928, when 1,056,756 pleasure
cars were listed with a total of alltype vehicles of 1,137,445.
