many drivers pay to signs. They will
suddenly turn out without looking to

I'VE have but recently appointed
a committee to investigate causes Of

and useless accidents. The club only
the other day aided In the prosecution
OF a chauffeur OF club member. He
was driving his car when intoxicated,
which Is the worst evil Of all. The
man was sent to the workhouse.
THE fact that member Of the
club Is an offender does not stop us
from prosecuting. No one realizes
the danger more than we do, but
there is also another side. We have
spent thousands Of dollars educating
the motorist and now we are also try.

has responsibilities In enforcing the

Those who hold that view ar
que that there is no necessity for
action on appropria-
ton bills, and that time there
fore can be given rural credits
legislation. That plan will be
urged at a party caucus in the
near future.
President Wilson, who sug-
gested in his annual message
that there would not be time to
take up rural credits at this ses-
sion, told callers today it was his
understanding that the senate
democrats did not mean to infer
by their caucus action that 6
rural credits measure should be
rushed through at this time.
The Hollis bill would establish
a rural credits system under gen.
eral control of the federal reserve
board. An executive officer Of
the system would be known as
the farm loan commissioner, anc
loans would be made on first
mortgage and first liens on farm
lands through associations or.
ganized in the agricultural dis.
tricts.
