TOLL ONLY FIVE SACRAMENTO, Mar. 30—(UP)— Nevada county’s motor vehicle death toll last year. showed a decrease of eight as compared with 1931, according to E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol. The 1932 death list was five; in 1931 it totaled 13. 5; The department also revéaled there were 53 automobile accidents in the county during 1932: as compared to 52 for the preceding year. Cato contended state-wide motor vehicle accident _ statistics proved, beyond a shadow of doubt, that speeding was the prime factor in automobile fatalities. “Although a greater number of accidents occurred in urban areas,’’ Cato said, ‘‘the percentage of fatalties was greater in rural areas where, naturally, opportunities for speeding are greater. “True, 25,033 of the 33,144 accidents in. 1932 oceured in cities and towns. But the percentage of fatalities in city accidents was only. 4.6 as compared with 12.5 in rural districts. “Put this down as an axiom: the faster you drive the more likely you are to be killed if an accident occurs.” Cato said the tragic 1929-33 death and accident toll—during that period 170,103 persons were injured in the state and 9,585 killed—had impelled his department to bear down hard on speeding: More. than 50 per cent of arrests in the last eight months were for speeding. Populous counties, where congested traffic is common, bore the brunt of the automobile casualty list. Ninety per cent of the accidents oceired in 15 counties—Fresno, Orange, San Joaquin, San Mateo, San Bernardino, Kern, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and Santa Clara. In fact, twothirds of the total accidents occurred in the last six named counties. Cato. said 55 per cent of the deaths during the year 1932 were in five counties—-Los Angeles, 841; Alameda, 134; San Francisco, 125: San Diego, 111 and San Bernardino, 105. TRUCK OWNERS FIGHT TAX BILL SACRAMENTO, Mar. 30—(UP)— Charging the railroads with fostering and supporting legislation detrimental to them, truck owners of California have organized to fight a series of bills now before the legislature. More than 100,000 trucks, of which 260 are in Nevada county would be affected by the regulatory and tax measures. The figures. are based on the 1932 registration of trucks in the state department of motor vehicles. The measure to which truck owners have taken the most objection is one by Senator’Charles Deuel, Chico, placing regulation of motor earriers, excluding contract carriers, under the jurisdiction of the. state railroad commission. It would require a permit from the commission for operation of truck lines based on convenience— the convenience to be determined by the commission. This section the truck owners say is sponsored by the railroads in the hopes. the truck lines now parelleing railroads cannot prove ‘‘convenience.’’ Another bill which the trucksters claim will force a great many of them out of business is one placing a state tax on trucks based on the weight of the loaded truck and the number of miles traveled. In protest of the tax bill a statement of the organized truck owners declared railroads paid $12,768,922 in taxes in 1931 while the trucking industry paid more than double the amount or $27,178,731. The tax bill has been recommended by the state board of equalization. It was introduced in the senate by Senator Bert B. Snyder, Santa Cruz. oO 0 Mrs. Helen Clinch and children are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Clinch at Grass Valley. After a short visit there Mrs. Helen Clinch and family will take up their residence in Weyada City in the house on Nevada street recently remodeled in attractive form by Miss Andrews who purchased the property from G. M. Bettles a few months ago.

The expansion is before the Legislature in a measure introduced by Senator Arthur H. Breed, in the senate and by Assemblymen Edward Craig and A. H. Morgan, Jr., in the Assembly.

Commenting on the general \effect and purpose of the plan the report said: ‘A study of the road and highway situation in the state, of the economic conditions now prevailing, and of the various measures and plans proposed for relief, leads to a conclusion that the plan of adding roads to the state system will. afford equitable and widespread relief to the cities and counties of the state. “The principle of centralizing road and highway administration is not an innovation and follows the general trend evidenced throughout the country in the past few years. COUNTIES AIDED “The distribution of the additional roads to all counties of the state, giving proper consideration to the areas of larger population where greater mileage of heavy traffic exists, and modified also by the total mileage of puplic highways in the counties, will afford not only a substantial, but an equitable measure of relief to the respective counties. “Immediate relief is afforded by reduction of the maintenance burden when these roads are taken over by the state. Inclusion of these roads in the state system alsomeans that the property owner is_ protected against assessment for improvement or construction in the future.’ re} OG Mrs. John Glasson and daughter, . Miss Bernice Glasson, have returned to their home in Grass Valley after having spent the greater part of the Lydia Darrah QUAKERESS by faith, Lydia Darrah nevertheless put her country’s cause above her love of peace. In December of 1777 the city of Philadelphia was in the hands of the British, and General Howe occupied headquarters on Second street, directly across from the neat white home of William and Lydia Darrah, Quakers both, and persons of some prominence in the city. One night a British officer ascended the front steps of the Darrah house, gained admittance and informed its flustered owners that the general chose to hold a secret council somewhat later in one of their back chambers. The family was given careful instructions. They were to retire house, it was promised, would-be informed when the conference was over. The Darrahs retired according to instructions, The British officers arrived, made their way to the designated chamber and locked the door. The council was on. Then rose Lydia, and with beating heart but brave determination made her way barefooted to the door of the meeting room. With her ear to the keyhole she learned that the British were planning for the morrow a surprise attack on Washington’s unsuspecting troops at White .Marsh. With this information she retired, and when the council was over, could be awakened only by repeated knocks at her door and finally answered in a very sleepy voice indeed! Early the next morning Mistress Darrah must have a pass from General Howe, so that she might ride through the British lines and go to Frankfort for flour. This gained, she hastened, very conspicuously laden with an empty. flour sack to Franksack and hastened onward, until she met an outpost of the patriot army and gave warning ef the impending attack. Then she returned to Frankfort, had her flour sack filled, and made her way home. ‘ The British attack at White Marsh was a failure. General Howe’s officers were at a loss to know how General Washington had learned their careful and secret plans in time to be so well prepared against their coming. In vain they questioned other members of the Darrah household. Only Lydia escaped their suspicions. “We know you were asleep,” they told her. “We had to knock three times before we could even awaken you!” ©, 1982, Western Newspaper Union at an early hour.

RUBINOW SACRAMENTO, Mar. 30—(UP) —on the eve of Germany’s passing from chaotic democracy to centralized dictatorship, two really big men, one an American, the other an Englishmen, both visiting in the San Francisco Bay region, said at one and the same time, what this column first predicted publicly: Walter Lippmann, noted newspaper man, editor, philisopher and economist, was-one of the men; George Bernard Shaw, Irish novelist, exponent of social economics, brilliant man of letters, was the other man. Shaw in San Francisco, and Lippmann in Berkeley, the former landing for the first time in the United States, and the latger addressing the 65th Charter Day of the University of California, both declared democracy and efficiency, so far as humans are concerned; don’t go hand in hand. : Shaw came out boldly for intelligent dictatorship, long espoused in this column. Lippfhan said the same thing ,when he sfated that an ordered society is not ordained for men but laboriously has to be constructed and managed by them. Said Shaw: “You all seem to be frightened about dictatorship but you can’t_ get anything done without it. When Roosevelt starts to do anything he will find a democratic system which prevents any action.”’ Intelligent dictatorship under a responsible leader, said Shaw, would. solve America’s problems. Amen to that. We said the same thing months ago. And, said Lippmann, in addressing students, faculty, alumni, of the University of California, in a gathering estimated at 10,000, ‘‘the trouble you see about you is not the end of the world, but the end of folly, miscalculation, and stupidity.” If there is any country in the world where there is so much senseless legislation, so many obsolete laws, so little governmental efficiency, so much graft, such “pork,’’ such criss-crossing of authority, as in the United States of Ameriea, we've got to be shown. It all comes from one source. Democracy. Take agriculture, for example. In one state alone, California, more than 25,000 laws effecting agriculture have been put on our statutes since the aaye of the gold rush. And ‘mere are being added every time the legislature meets. The same thing, comparatively speaking, is true for all the other states, and for the federal government. Pretty soon, if a halt isn’t called, we'll have to start building libaries and book shelves the country over, to hold all the laws being enacted. If the thing is kept up, we’ll have more laws in the United States than we have population. What seems to be the matter with us?
