Vehicle Manslauuhter,

The killing of twenty-five persons by
automobiles and trucks in New York
city during October shows a serious in
crease of vehicle manslaughter.
This is at the rate of 264 deaths a
year, an appalling total. If that num-
Der of lives were to be lost through
what are classed as extraordinary ac-
cidents, through the burning of theatres
and excursion steamers or by the COL
lapse of buildings, the evil would be
taken in hand for immediate correction.
1t is the failure to realize the cumulative
mortality of the almost daily sacrifice of
life in the streets which largely ac-
counts for public and official Indifference
to its causes.
The efforts of the National Highways
Protective Society to reduce the cond-
tions of danger through legislation and
by public agitation deserve praise
Some improvement may be effected
through the bill which the society has
prepared providing for stricter exam-
nation for licenses and forbidding any
one under sixteen to drive business
vehicle AS the Secretary points out,
the fact that any applicant may procure
drivers license by sending 81 to the
Secretary of State opens the way to
many abuses.
Yet it is not only the inexperienced
driver who increases the perls of the
streets. Many of the worst accidents
are due to over confidence on the part
of drivers of long experience. 1t is well
to have stricter examinations But the
best corrective for the unsafety of the
streets is the more rigorous prosecution
of offenders. The courts have shown
an increasing disposition to discriminate
between accidents due to vehiclular
traffic and to punish with severity where
they are shown to be preventable. 1t
is by a greater activity in preparing
cases against motor and other drivers
responsible for it that vehicle man.

that the news which has come through

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 3.-The as
sembly galleries were crowded this
morning when the hour arrived for
discussion of the Drew anti-alien
land bin and there was a strong un-
dercurrent of excitement.
Drew opened the debate in favor
of his bill. He said he wished to
dispel any belief that the bill was
the result of the suggestion or de-
mands of union labor agitators. 1t
was not drawn, he declared. for any
special interest but for the good of
all the people of the state.
He then proceeded with a long
speech advocating the adoption of the
bill and citing the fact that 1t was
not Objectionable to the administra-
tion. As he proceeded the audience
grew restless and there were many
departures from the galleries and the
floor.
From this time on interest Jagged,
and was not revived by the occa-
sional thrusts of assemblyman john
son and others of the rabid anti
Japanese members. The afternoon
session developed into long drawn
out debate of small Importance and
continued until the vote was fixed
for tomorrow and adjournment ta-
ken.
The vote on the Walker-Otis rae
Ing bill. which was second In order
In the senate today, was postponed
until tomorrow for final action. 1t
is conceded the bill will pass four to
one.
The senate committee on executive
communications reported on the re-
cent message of Governor Gillett as
follows:
We firmly believe that legislation
of this nature is "A menace to the
welfare of our country. 1t is true
that our population is composed of
people from all nations of the globe.
To single out any one particular ma
tion would bring us into conflict
with the constitution of the United
States and render us ridiculous in
the eyes of the nation.
whatever is done to restrict Jap
anese immigration should come
through the federal government. This
matter is not one in which our in
terests alone are involved but one
in which the whole nation is. inter-
ested.
Senator Campbell stated that he
would make a minority report.
