legal speeds allowed,” Capt. Farmer
said. “But when these trucks exceed
the speed limits of 30 and 35 miles
an hour, they become even more dan
gerous. Yet I have trailed these trucks
at times when they were doing 60
miles an hour and so have patrolmen.
But we are going to stop this speed
ing by trucks or know the reason why
and I have recently ordered patrol
ment to bear down harder than ever
on trucks of all types and to see to it
that truck drivers do not exceed 35
miles an hour or that trucks with
trailers or semi-trailers do not ex
ceed 30 miles an hour.”
Automobile drivers in all sections
of the state are asked by Captain
Farmer to watch all trucks and to
report any violations either as to
speed or recklessness, reporting the
type of violation, approximate loca
tion when observed and the license
number of the truck. Letters will he
written to both the drivers and own

that future violations will be prose
cuted, Captain Farmer said.

The customary procedure is for the

After her hearing at the Assizes, she

Her friends said that while she has

Rising Living Costs Are
Inevitable, Babson Says
(Continued from Page One.)
type of inflation now seems less like
ly. Nevertheless, even the old-fash
ioned printing-press variety of cur
rency inflation is a possibility and
should, therefore, be kept in mind.
Remember that the European infla
tion orgies were five to seven years
in the making—they did not come
over-night.
If Mr. Landon takes over the reins
at Washington, we should have what
is known as inflation via the credit
route. Today this country has over
$11,000,000 in gold. This is an all-time
high record and 150 per cent (in dol
lars) above what we had at the peak
of 1929. We have formed a gold base
sufficiently large to support credit
inflation which could stagger the
imagination. Under our present bank
ing laws and the Federal Reserve
System of rediscounting, one gold dol
lar could be expanded to well over
tv/enty credit dollars. We could have
a rise in credit to over $250,000,000,000
which would dwarf our 1929 “prosper
ity” bubble into insignificance. There
fore, no matter who is elected, fur
ther inflation seem s inevitable.
Living Costs To Climb.
Simply stated, inflation means that
your dollar will purchase less goods
than the same dollar can buy in nor
mal times. Mr. and Mrs. Consumer
will find that they have to pay more
for meat, butter, furniture, shoes,
shirts, and so on right down the line.
Inflation lifts prices of all kinds of
goods and articles from the fuel for
our homes to the milk for our babies.
It hits us all—rich and poor—right
square in the pocket book. It sends
the cost of living higher and higher
and the standard of living lower and
lower. If acute, inflation ruins the
poor and middle classes. Even the
rich lose heavily.
Living costs have not yet risen
sharply although they are now about
20 per cent above the depression low
and four per cent above last October.
Inflation has not taken hold in ear
nest. Yet I am convinced that it will
only be a matter of time before it
does. Only a miracle can prevent this
in the months ahead. In Germany,
where inflation went to the ultimate,
living costs skyrocketed into the
trillions. Even in France, where in
flation was moderate, prices jumped
eight times. If we should follow the
course of inflation in France, bread
would sell for eighty cents a loaf and
eggs for four dollars a dozen. Such
prices now seem fanastic but they
could become a reality which would
strike us all.
Build Inventories
This inflation ahead, with its an
ticipated sharp rise in commodity
prices and living costs, call for ac
tion now. As individuals, you should
take account of your supplies. You
should list your needs for household
goods such as sheets, towels, linen,
furniture, necessary repairs or im
provements. Make out another list of
your family’s clothing needs. Go out
and buy now. Build up your house
hold and personal inventories. Shop
keepers and manufacturers, large and
small, should check the supplies of
goods required in their business. The
time has come for stores and manu
facturers to carry larger stocks of
goods and raw materials. Now is the
time to put more money into inven
tories and less into the bank.
Change Your Viewpoint
For years the smart and profitable
policy in business was to buy hand
to-mouth and cut stocks to the limit.
Business focused its attention on
cleaning house, on snugging up by
cutting down on this and paring that.
This was the natural corollary of the
