MULCTING
OF MOTORISTS BY JUSTICES
MUST STOP
Says Lee Who Starts Movement
Looking Toward Abolition Of So
Called "speed Traps"

Columbus, July 22-The restitution
of thousands of dollars in fines col.
lected by township justices of the
peace from automobile owners, is the
request made of the state auditors
department by Richard II. Lee, prest
dent of the Ohio State Automobile as.
sociation.
1t is Lees claim that township jus.
tices have no right to collect fines on
speeding charges, but have the right
when they believe motorist guilty
only to bind him over to highe:
court. Many justices have been ac-
cepting such fines, and Lee asks the
state auditing department to bring
out this amount in examination of
the Justices books.
Following is Lees letter to the
state auditor:
l desire to call your attention to the
/ fact that a number of instances
throughout the state have been called
to my attention, wherein justices of
the peace, having no further police
power than that generally enjoyed by
Justices of the peace under the laws
OF the state of Ohio, have been oper
atlng speed traps for revenue only;
that automobilists have been dragged
through their courts in these matters
and without any jurisdiction in law OF
in fact, have been fined and both the
fine and costs collected, and this not
withstanding the fact that the law Is
clear that Justices OF the peace have
no final jurisdiction nor any right tC
do other than hold the defendant un
der bond TO appear before a higher
court
In all these cases, II Is my opinion
that the fines and costs collected have
: been wrongfully taken, and 1t occurs
to me that your accountants SHOULD
: be instructed TO look for violations
} of this sort, and require restitution b!
the justice, or take such other stepi
! as you may deem advisable in tn,
l premises.
"Clubs in the state association ar,
cooperating with police officials il

) tions," Lee said "But the mulctlnI
| OF motorists by township official
J. must stop. Irregular practices b
= grating or ignorant officials onl!

Within two weeks of the Ohio pri-
mary there is seemingly little inter
est in the outcome. People refuse to
turn aside from their daily tasks and
everybodys busy. From the political
view the apathy is indicative that
the people have made up their minds.
They are satisfied with and trusting
in Wilson.
They have not had any occasion to
feel any differently about Wilson
since they expressed disapproval of
his administration by upward of
100000 votes in two referendum elec.
tions.
A little ripple was created when the
Republicans held their national con.
vention. Hughes was stronger the
day he was nominated than he is now
and he is losing strength every day
His accession to place by catering to
the un-Americanism Of the misguided
started him in reverse gear. Wilson
is not campaigning. He is being pres
ident and not playing politics. The
people, prosperous and at peace, want
him to continue president. Apathy
always goes with settled feeling.
Opposition to Senator Pomerene
gains no ground either within or with.
out the party. Herrick, or Dougher.
ty, or Dick are treated courteously
but not taken seriously in their floun.
dering for issue. At the primary
Senator Pomerene has no opposition
that occasions any effort whatever on
his part. He is not making cam.
paign.
The people appear to be settled on
the center of opposition to Governor
Willis. The conditions under which
he arose TO power and the form OF
hia administration make the issue
and name the candidate. The result
is written. Voters accept the end as
certain. Former Governor Cox re-
mains quiet He will not ask a vote
in the primary nor permit anyone tc
work in his behalf.
Republican campaign managers
have reason to fear that non-attentior
win meet their appeal this year.

Nauseating to Evans-keels over
Into Twenty Minutes OF Uncon-

While driving a bolt into chair in
a shine parlor on West High street
Friday evening Stewart Evans, who
lives on West Vine street, struck his
right hand a heavy blow with the
hammer, causing the blood to flow
quite freely.
Evans started to wrap a cloth
around the injured hand and tainted.
The fainting spell, which was caused
by the sight of blood and the intense
pain, lasted about 20 minutes. AS
soon as he recovered consciousness,
Evans was taken home by his COM
panions and Saturday morning he felt
no effects of his experience. The in
jured hand, however, was swollen and

During the fiscal year which just
closed, receipts from the sale of auto
mobile licenses aggregated $1,200,237.
1t cost approximately 100000 to run
the department. Under the law the
balance, after the cost of registration
Ss taken out, is required to be turn
ed over to the state highway depart
ment for road repairs. The Willis
legislature appropriated for this pur-
ose from the fund only $650,000. The
