FOR
AUTOS URGED

A movement to require all automo-
bilist owners to provide their cars
with DINNERS is on foot here. 1t is
reported an ordinance will be sub
mitted to the council at an early date
to this effect.
1t is said that the lights of many
of the machines are so strong that
an approaching automobile driver is
blinded and oftimes must pull to the
side of the road. One driver a few
nights ago was unable to see for sew
eral moments after meeting such a
car and suffered a severe headache.
Farmers report narrow escapes from
serious accidents because of strong
auto lights
Because of necessity for such a step
a number of local motorists have pro-
vlded their cars with DINNERS. Sc

fornia cities have such ordinances.
The Seattle law provides for a maxi
mum penalty of 500 or thirty days in
Jail and the Walla Walla ordinance
is modelled after the Seattle law.

ndLm Club.
 A club of this nature IS a val uable organization in any com munity. 1t is a sorry party ln- deed that does not advocate some good measures that are approved by all, regardless of party times.
 Yet, many of these good meas ures are lost, because those that approve them are divided by party lines and can not unite their strength or these particular measures. Where a wide-aWake Initiative and Referendum Club exists people can meet and for mulate measures they desire en- acted into laws, after which they can circulate petition for their initiation which can be signed by every citizen, regardless of his party. and in the same manner they can unite at the polls for voting on these measures.
 Party politics divide the peo- pie at the polls so that the ma chimes rule. The Initiative and Referendum unites the people at the polls so theycan win and the machine loses.
 If you are for the people, vote for Amendment No. 13. If you are for the machine vote against Amendment No. l3.
