A LICENSE TO KILL

In asking that thIrty-1ve, or even
twenty-five miles an hour, be fixed as
the speed limit for automobiles on
South Temple street. the owners and
drivers OF machines are asking, practic~
ally, for q license to kill. Already they
arc exceeding that limit by many miles
every day and night OF the week, ana
thns, too, under an ordinance that
places the speed hurst bound at twelve
miles. With restrictions raised as re-
quested. it Is. In view OF the present
practice, quite fair TO presume that the
only limit In many cases would be the
ability OF the machine itself.
| Several times the Deseret News has
called attention TO the terrific force
with which automobiles. manned by
aspiring Barney oldfields, are driven up
and down South Temple street In abso-
lutte violation and defiance OF life limbs
ana statutes. This splendid thorough
fare is openly converted into a race
course particularly on the Sabbath day,
with vast crowds of people lining the
sidewalks Watching the outcome and not
daring 10 cross the street for fear OF
being run down and killed. 1t Is no idle
tale or alarrnist's warning to say that
there have been some exceedingly mar
row escapes. The fact that Salt LAX e;
has got no speedway on which reckless
chaufeurs may experience the thrills
OF a mile a minute dash. Is no guaranty
on license for converting the best resi-
