Drivers’ License
The issuance of 7,343 drivers’ licenses
last month brought the total to 1,040,955
the number of licenses issued since the
Uniform Drivers’ License Act was passed
in 1935, Ronald Hocutt, Director of the
Highway Safety Division, announced.
Licenses issued the first four months of
this year totaled 25,836, he added. There
are nearly 650,000 registered motor vehi
cles in the state.
“The pui'poses behind drivers’ licenses,’’
Hocutt explained, “are to provide a mean|^
of investgiating in case of drivers who are
involved in accidents, and to make people
realize that the operation of a motor ve
hicle is not merely a right but is a privi
lege, which carries with it certain respon
sibilities and a regard for the safety of
others.
“A driver’s license carries behind it an
assumption that the State regards you as
being competent to operate a motor vehi
cle upon its streets and highways without
jeopardizing the safety of fellow travel
ers. If you violate this trust, the State
suspends or revokes your license so as to
remove you from the highway until your
attitude, skill knowledge or physical cqu-
dition h«j] pytofvhthgt you
can drive safely.
“Don’t regard your driver’s license too
lightly. If you had to do without it after
being accustomed to driving quite a bit,
you would realize what a great privilege
it is to be allowed to drive.
“See that your driving skill, mental at
titude, physical condition and knowledge
ojf the motor vehicle laws and rules of the
road are maintained at all times in such
manner as to render you a safe driver and
&s8ur6 you of beingf allowed to retain youi
privilege of driving.”
Stamps For Cotton
The food stamp plan—under which per
sons on relief are given allotments of foods
of which a suri>lus exists—continues to ex
pand. It has apparently proven to be a
reaso'iable way of disposing of some of the
foods held by the Federal Surplus Com
modities Corporation.
Now, according to a recent announce
ment by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
stamps are to be issued, under a similar
plan, for cotton. A tremendous cotton
surplus now exists, and its reduction is es-
serttial to the welfare of the millions of
families which depend for all or part of
their livelihood on income from raw cot
ton—and that legion of workers which de
pends on cotton processing and manufac
turing for their jobs.
One extremely significant phase of the
stamp plan is thaft it has been entirely car
ried out through existing private merchan
dising channels. The taxpayers have not
had to dig down to pay for the creation of
a costly government-owned distribution
system. Both chain and independent
stores have cooperated to the limit in fur
thering the plan, and have apparently
done a magnificent job. The unemployed
have benefited—and so have the pro
ducers. And the plan unquestionably
tends to keep the cost of maintaining re
lief down.
The cotton plan is to start on a small
-scale, and to be extended, as was the food
stamp plan. And America’s private mer
chants, big and little, may be relied upon
to see it through with maximum efficiency.
Loyalty U Good Business
Loyalty between employe and employer
is simply good business.
Edgar Howard, editor of the Columbus,
^^ebrssks, Daily Telegram, recently wrote
» vWd little article Ulu»fc»togih^
article dealt with the Union Pacific Rail*
road “Booster League,” an organization in_
which every worker in that great company
holds membership.
“EJvery member of that league, writes
Editor Howard, “is a volunteer--a fight
ing volunteer—not a fighter against any
thing or anybody, but always a fighter for
his employer . . . Today, from section man
to president, each employe has regard for
the other. There are no strikes. When
an employe has a grievance he does nor
attempt harm to any official of the road
He carries his complaint to his brother
hood’s grievance committee, the committee
carries it to the proper official, and the
trouble is adjusted. And here comes proof
of the value of the preaching of the good
gospel of loyalty.’’
Contrast that spirit with the destructive
gpirit of those who preach strike, sabotage,
disorder. When men get topther to ami
cably discuss and adjust differences, all
involved benefit. The company for which
they work goes ahead, making their job
secure. There is no loss of pay caused by
lay-offs. There is no feeling of bitterness
and ill will. Yes, loyalty is good business
—the kind of business that makes for pro
gress and prosperity and stability in a bus
iness or a nation.
Borrowed Comment
JUST DRAW THE VEIL
(Washington Times-Herald)
Senator George W. Norris, of Nebras
ka, used to be the object of an enormous,
palpitating sympathy in certain sections of
the political community on the ground
that he was a persecuted man of honor.
The “power trust” was always after
him. He was always being accused in
terms of generalities, and his defenders
were particularly outraged by such tactics.
For it was as difficult to answer a generali
zation then as it is today and they could
not locate a bill of particulars against
their idol.
They could only point to his record and

with the facts of his public career could
accuse him of ::nything.
I^ell, the Senator seemsi to have sur
vived all those campaigns and yet lived to
make a few scurrilous remarks of his own.
Yes, scurrilous.
For some time he has been pawing tin
ground and rending the air on the subject
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation anr
its director, J. Edgar Hoover.
He pawed and rent until Attorney Gen
eral Robert H Jackson told a
assi.stant to interview all persons involved,
hear all the charges, examine all the evi
dence, and see whether the G-Men wer*
guilty, as charged by Senator Norris, of
violating civil rights of persons accused of
crimes against the United States.
After a considerable expenditure of
time and money, the Attorney Genera!
satisfied himself that the FBI has bee
conducting itself with the highe.st regan
for the rights of persons under investiga
tion.
He further said that it continues to do
so, and expressed the opinion, in a public
letter to Senator Norris, that if the civil
rights of the American people are endan
gered it is not at the hands of J. Edgar
Hoover.
That ought to satisfy any reasonable
person. Especially since the Attorney
General is an extremely liberal New Deal
er whose record indicates no leaning to
ward love for a political police.
But, apparently, Senator Norris still
isn’t satisfied. He turned up in print yes
terday still yammering generalities about
the G-Men being some kind o!f boogey
combination of the Gestopa, OGPU, and
A1 Capone.
He does not furnish evidence. He fur
nishes only epithets. His obsession drives
him to accuse honorable men of dishonor
able things. When he was so accused,
there was a deafening outcry from the
“liberal” element. --
If the “liberals” are still as passionately
devoted to fair play now as they professed
to be then, let’s hear them denounce Sena
tor Norris for persistent misstatement of
facts concerning J. Edgar Hoover as they
denounced the “power trust” for misstate
ment of facts concerning Senator Norris,
Or perhaps, better still, just draw the
veil and let the Senator continue his mut-
terings to himself, privately.
