AUTOISTS TO BE DISCIPLINED
BY COMMISSIONER ROE.
VIII Revoke Licenses and Punish Reck-
less Drivers of Automobiles.

After reyoking the licenses Of three
automibile drivers this week. State
Motor-vehicle Commission er Roe
spoke his mind and did not mince
words about the speed conditions
which, he says. exist in Baltimore. and
which, he added must promptly change
for the better.
The penalty for failure to observe
his warning, the Commissioner said.
would be active prosecution in the
courts by his office and the suspen-
sion or revocation OF driving licenses.
The drivers of many heavy trucks
have aroused the Commissioner s
wrath because of the excessive rate
at which they have been travelling the
streets. The iitney drivers are also
said by Mr. Roe to be getting about
the city at too great a rate OF speed.
and, IN addition they are recklessly
overcrowding their cars.
In this connection. the Frederick
News has the following article on
Increasing Dangers:
1.-THE speeding automobile tina
smashes something and skips before
its number is discovered. is common.
The chances for a successful escape
are fairly good. In case of accident,
people are often too confused to look
1T or remember numbers corr ectly.
The danger from reckless automobile
driving increases, and many existing
provisions of law have become out OF
date. Probably the number plates for
cars should be made larger so as to
be read more easily. In some states
the idea of separating the first two
numerals by dash from those follow
ing is tried and seems to make NUM-
Der read more easily.
1.-THE idea should be drilled into the
public mind, particularly into all who
use motor cars, that a quick reading
of the number of an Offending machine
| is the one protection and means Of
| redress. The machine that smashes
into your unoffending car may come
| from a thousand miles distant. The
chances are hundred to one that ii
| is a stranger whom you never saw.

| fingers. The number plates of the diff
| ferent states should look as diverse
| as possible, so that the license of al
most any nearby state could be recog-
nized by the colors, shape, or size of
| the plate. The differences exist to q
| degree But consultation among the
| licensing authorities, greater varia
tions could be secured so that the
| plates of different states could be
| better distinguished
at shocks ones faith in human ma
| ture to read of some things that hap
| pen on the road Care,essly to run
| down an unoffending person is had
| enough. But to commit that act, anC
| then to run without offering assist
| ance, is about the most sneaking act
| imaginable. The law should make &
| clear distinction between the motorist
who stops and helps and the one who
| runs away If few of these fellows
| could be severely punished, other hogs
| of the same breed would conclude that
| it is better to stop than to run"

HICKS FOR DECEMBER.
A Month Of BoreaI Storms, Unless

POWERS OF SUPERVISORS NOT
SUBJECT TO MANDAMUS.
Opinion Filed by Court Of Appeals
Yesterday.

The Court of Appeals yesterday filed
an opinion that the powers of boards
of election supervisors, sitting as
boards of canvassers, are discretion
airy and involve the exercises of judy
ment and that the supervisors are.
therefore, not subject to mandamus
proceedings.
While this opinion was filed in the
Montgomery county legislative contest
between ]. Furr White and Philip d.
Laird, it apparently has an important
bearing upon the Noll-O 'Malley con
test for the clerkship of the Howard
County Circuit Court.
In this latter contest, Noll, the Re
publican candidate, was returned as
elected by one vote, but the county
election supervisors, sitting as the
board of canvassers. changed the unof-
fetal tabulation and returned O'Mal-
ley, Democrat, elected by AZ votes.
Subsequently, on petition by Noll,
the entire bench of the Fifth Judi
cial Circuit,with Chief Judge Thomas.
who is a member of the Court of APP
peals, sitting, granted mandamus re-
quiring the supervisors to count the
returns of one entire precinct, which
had previously been thrown out, and
also ordering the canvassers to cite
before them the election officials of
another district to make necessary
corrections in the tally.
Neither side was satisfied and both
took an appeal to the Appellate Court
The O'Malley-Noll case is scheduled
for argument before the Court of APP
peals today. The APPELLATE courts de-
cision filed yesterday is in full and is
supplementary to a per curium decis-
ion on the case handed down some
weeks ago in which the election of
Laird was upheld.
The dispatch to the press discussing
the courts decision says: in its full
opinion in the Montgomery county
election case, filed today, following the
per curium decision. filed some weeks
ago. the Court of Appeals states as one
of its main reasons for upholding the
Circuit Court for Montgomery County.
that the powers of the Supervisors of
Elections, sitting as canvassers, are
discretionary. Further, that they in
volve the exercise of Judgment, and
are, therefore, not subject to man
damus proceedings.

ence called by the state commissioner

quarantine regulation on date palms
and offshoots infested with date
scale.
Representatives of the date grow
ers of Coachella valley; d. d. Sharp.
Horticultural commissioner of River
side county, and DR.. A. J. Cook, state
commissioner, were in attendance.
After thoroughly discussing the sit
uatlon it was decided to present an
act at the next session of the legis-
lature, whereby state law could be
enacted to allow state officers to have
control of infested date palms after
they have been released by the fed
eral board.
The date industry is of such vast
Importance that the federal board
would have special bills enacted to
allow the importation of infested
Palms under bond. 1t is believed that
the state will enact law, which is
now in preparation, to further the
best interests of the date industry.
There were twenty five ranches Wis
tied in the interest of weed eradica-
tion. One ranch was quarantined.
