f|i«f« The Strenffth Lies
am,Mtaaa goremmant la baaed on the theory that those JfZeam shall bave the minimum of power and authority ¦¦?i5ruie osopla ean keep their Individual Ubertles. said JL'StWir rtanlcUn D. Rooaevelt in a recent addreas In New
'^^^tSnrtxm tha functions oC both the state and federal *!IJL»M novamor Roosevelt maintained that baiek of fS^SSoaH and atete conaUtutlons waa the one thought that E^awMnlng authorltlaa be not given broad power. He *L£jned tbat there waa an "awful lot of misinformation" •ST^namrnment and that some persons even assumed that irtSSor was a "great white father."
•inw  government  doea_not  have omnliMtent power,"
\.id oovernor Rooaevelt, "The federal conatltutlon, after SnTthe powers of tbe national government, speclflcally "gy-n other powers to tbe statea. The state must not be Cm broad powers to reguUte your life and mine. That Is z!!amn task. The strtagth of the nation lies not In statutes S^mvemmenta. but In IndlvlduaU and families."
It U encouraging to see a high pubUc official assert this sMMlesn fundamental which ia entirely disregarded by too !Sbv of our public servanU In their eagerness to extend the TSSoods of government, thereby increasing their own "^1 over the p«>ple.
Up It Goes
Xwi states have Increased their gasoline tax rates so far 'Ulil year, and others are contemplating similar moves.   At 'M«it the average tax rate for the nation is 3.98 cents per ^Mm and It may exceed 4 cents before the dawn of 1932.
However. It Is Interesting to note that the new high rates MOt Into effect In the face of constantly growing opposition. hjWorth Dakota, for example, the voters defeated a project- ¦d referendum proposal In November—only to have the leg- Usture pass It later on. In Washington, where the rate was adted up two cents a gallon, motorists are busy seeking a Ztemidum, and a one>cent increase In Maine was passed 1^ after a long and bitter battle In the legislature.
It may be that the tendency toward higher rates will be 1 good thing after all—the higher the Ux goes, the sooner Mm publr will take action. "Worm motorist" is rapidly nsehlng the point where he will turn, as Ave and six-cent niis lUre him In tbe face.
«The Tangle of the Courts**
"America has been dubbed, with much Justice, the shy- ittr lawyer's paradise," says the Portland Oregonlan. ' "Take New York State as an example. Recent studies ibow that cases In the state supreme court are brought to a cooeluston after an average delay of two and a half years. (OBie of the cases finally disposed of last year had been diagged out for more than ten years. Cases In New York Cty court averaged slightly under two years. The municipal eonrt required an average of ten months for disposition of III eases.
"No figures are available as to the total annual litigation in New York SUte, but Ohio, which did total Its litigation, foimd that it had about half a million ca.ses for each twelve months.
"Spectacular failures of criminal justice, such as have been witnessed in Chicago, and widespread corrupton, such u has been uncovered in the magistrate's court of New York Cl^, appeal to the public imagination and cry for correction. But in quantity, social morals suffer no more from these con¬ ditions than the nation's business suffers from the legal de¬ lays that hamper it. The Judicial council of Ohio, after ituding the matter carefully, hns published the opinion that If the present Ohio courts were properly co-ordinated, they would be sufflclent to handle the legal busine.ss of 20.000.000 people—one-sixth of the entire population of the United States.
"Improvement In the courts and the machinery of the ht cannot come soon enough now, no niatter how soon It
Ihli legal tangle has been brought about largely by our ' multiplicity of restrictive laws which apply to Indlvi- and industries alike.   Less law and better Justice—in Ibat direction lies security for society.

SPIRIT OF MEN HIGH
Accidents of All Types Re¬ duced 37% In Mem¬ ber Companies
"No accidents during the month Of June!"
That is the byword of every work¬ man in the local cement mills, as the plants enter the Sixth Annual Inter¬ national Accident Campaign, hell each year diu-ing the month of June In cement mills of the United States, Canada, Cuba and Mexloo. Hm campaign gets under way when the production season Is at its height and in previous years has resulted In axk amazing reduction In accidents of aXL kinds.
The Portland Cement Association of which the local mills are mem¬ bers, directs the International safety program with the oooperatkn of national and state labor depart¬ ments. Starting June 1st. a newly designed safety flag, presented 1^ the Portland Cement Assoclatloa. wUl be raised over the mills and this flag will be kept flying as long aa no accidents occur.
We are in hopes the flag wUl fly unUl It falls apart. The spirit of the men Is high and every one of them Is giving his wholehearted coopera¬ tion. If all the plants en tered In the campaign have the same cooperation from the workmen as In previous years, the 1931 efTort will result In an even flner achievement than hat ever been recorded.
Cement companies of the nation, under the leadership of the Portland Cement Association, have reduced accidents over the period of the last several years to the point where the cement industry can be rlghtfuUy considered the safest ol the major Industries of the nation. A continual campaign is being carried oa wMsh has resulted each year In a great re¬ duction In both fatal and lost«tlne accidents.
Last year, accidents of all typee wer> reduced 37 per cent to manlMr companies of the Portland CemMlk Association. Stawe ISn aceldetili have been reduced by 83 per cent.
