As each day passes we see more and more of these mobile homes crowding the countryside. Most of these trailers locate in parks or camps--and remain for periods varying from a few months to many years. Not only is the house trailer here to stay, but the very trailer we see as we pass a newly developed trailer park may be there to stay for years to come. The problem presented by these house trailers and their occupants is two-fold. First: The ^ax prgblem. House trailers burden our local governments by increasing the cost of police and fire protection, and especially the cost of 6ur schools which must absofb and educate the school-age children who are being raised in these trailer communities. Second: The health problem. Few trailer parks are located in areas served by public water and sewer facilities--let alcne garbage disposal systems. Trailer park sanitation is frequently deplorable. Some parks have been described as "country slums." The need for legislation is selfevident. But the ease with which these trailer homes may bp moved from place to place makes this two-fold problem both unique and extremely difficult. • Property taxes provide the principal source of local and school revenue and this is the only method at present for taxing house trailers. On the basis that trailers may be moved about like othe^ personal property, it is only possible to sub-' iect the trailpr owners to the personal property tax under present laws. Since personal property assessments are generally low and since personal property tax bills are frequently ignored, I demand. the revenue froin this source is quite negligible. In an attempt to make the j trailer park owners responsible for the burden resulting from the trailers parked - upon their property, the writer introduced a bill during the last session of the Illinois General Assembly which defined house trailers remaining ninety days or more in a trailer park as "real estate" and subjected the park owner to assessment and tax upon such house trailers. The bill was def e a t e d -- e v e n t h o u g h i t was shown that most trailers do not rest on their wheels while they are parked- and that some trailers had been parked at the same spots for ten years or more. Efforts to produce local revenue by a licensing law have been stifled by the constitutional prohibition against licensing for revenue. Plans for the schools to charge tuition to the school children residing in trailers upon which no property tax had been paid havo been discouraged on the further constitutional ground that Illinois guarantees a free public education. While the outlook for aew legislation to produce local tax revenue is discouraging. tho chances are bright for the passage of measures which will fix minimum health and safety standards for our numerous trailer parks. Senate Bill 314 will re- 1 1659 quire these trailer communities to be equipped with adequate supplies of water, approved methods for sewage and garbage disposals, and will provide othex basic regulations which trailer park operators 'will be required observe. __ This bill will place ' trailer parks under the control of the State Department of Public Health except in those areas where equivalent regulations have been established and are being enforced fey local governments. House trailers may be here to stay but the state legislature-- and our local governments --must make sure that they do not blight our countrysides -- and that their occupants do not force their neighbors to educate their children and defray the cv nses of the other local •ervte< , tlMQr POPULAR HOBBIES Auto Proves More Relentless Killer Of Americans Than Waf * when the two totals were even, The nation's wars have killed about 45,000 men. women and close to 1,010,000 of its fightingI children have been killed . by 88,800, averaging 7,400 monthly for 45 months.

To date during the Korean war period, the nation's highway death toll has been far higher than that of war, he said, averaging 4.4 fatalities in highway accidents for every American soldier killed in Korea.
