TAKE IT EASY IN TOWN, DK1XEK!
With bright spring weather here, it might be well
to turn our thoughts to the somber hazard on city
streets now, before tragedy has marred the summer
for some child or parent.
Although Ashland enjoys a comparatively accident-
free flow of traffic, nevertheless a constant vigilance
on the part of all drivers must be maintained. 1 ar-
ticularly should motorists be on guard through the
residential district, where the sunshine has brought
out the children.
Youngsters, playing marbles, tag, flying kites,
throwing balls—early-season indulgence in these
things often make them forget caution and tiaffic.
It is up to the motorist to make allowance for thought­
less pranks of children.
Downtown, too, with children and old folks on the
streets more than ever, drivers should slow down at
crosswalks and be ready at ail times to stop or swerve
to save the skin of some pedestrian whose mind might
be on other things.
And as for fault, what succor does it give a tot’s
broken body to know that the blame was not the driv­
er’s? The goal of all motorists should be to eliminate,
as much as is humanly possible, all accidents.

Consequently, the New Deal was swept into power

by a people convinced that democracy must prove
itself or admit inadequacy. And people, with empty
stomachs, are not patient. The New Deal announced
its reforms and action followed word. Emergency ex­
isted, and we got emergency results: confusion, mis­
understanding. duplication, waste. But we got action
that saved the day. Now, several years later, we have

pelled by need, just the same as the unpreparedness
for war in 1917 created such incongruous results as
grade school boys earning $5 a day as roustabouts
in shipyards.
The fault has been in our habit of postponing re­
form until a crisis forces the issue and thrusts us into
a wasteful haste to do suddenly something that should
have been accomplished by gradual transition.

RUSSIA PROFITS BY COMPARISON!
Exactly why the American people, at least in print,
are so bitter towards the Soviet Union has always been
a mystery to this department. Perhaps the hotbed of
communism does lie in Russia, but what of it?
In the plans of rehabilitation and rejuvenation of
Europe and Asia. Russia has been pursuing the happy
course of internal reform; hers has been a job of self­
help and improvement. Conquest, to Russians, means
the attacking of economic and political problems at
home rather than the murder and invasion of a neigh­
boring people who possess coveted riches.
The most outstanding difference between the po­
litical philosophy of Stalin and Hitler—from this dis­
tance, at least—appears to be that Stalin does his
head-whacking in his own country while Hitler cracks
the skulls of his helpless neighbors. Whether Stalin’s
course is right or wrong, the rest of the world can
thank their Creater that his ambition lies within Rus­
sia and not outside it.
Perhaps The Miner just doesn’t comprehend some
facts of life, but we can’t get all het up about the Red
Menace that frightens Willie Hearst and certain other
flag-wavers. Stalin seems to be doing a good job of
minding his own business and the notion persists that
the lot of the average Russian has improved consid­
erably during the last 15 years.

HASTE MAKES WASTE!
That much of the New Deal reform has bogged
down with its own weight and that some of it has been
definitely a failure there can be little argument—even
by such partisans as this little democratic weekly.
But then it should be remembered that few, if any,
governmental undertakings are ever wholly successful,
especially in a democracy.
Perhaps the greatest fault with the New Deal’s
modernization of some functions of government and
business was the haste with which the reforms came.
They were the result of last-minute acknowledgement
of an accumulated and critical pressure.
Had gradual reform followed the gradual develop­
ing need for change, then that reform could have come
about with less impact. The progress of governmental
theory, had it been continuous, would have occasioned
no great wastes of effort and funds. However, climaxes
in the political and economic field had been let develop
to the point where drastic—and immediate—action
was the alternative to possible internal revolt and civil
uprising. (And to say that this nation was not near
