" no gets hurt in a crossing accident.
But cur figures show that when a
driver is hurt or killed three or four
pesons are also hurt or killed. Last
September may be taken as a typical
month. Three auto drivers were kill
ed in the state that month and ten
other occupants of the automobiles
were killed at the same time. Nine
drivers were injured and thirty-seven
other occupants were injured. These
other occupants of the vehicles struck
by trains were in many casts-

Of himself and those who are nearest

to step in and tell him what he must
do to guard them"
Proceeding to the subject of tres
passing, Mr.. Gordon said:
"In 1914 1896 persons were killed
in the United States, and GIG were
injured, while trespassing on rail-
roads. and these figures are about
the same as those reported for pre-
vious years. The grade crossing
problem is one which is met with,
more or less, in all countries, but
trespass accidents occur only in the
United States. In Europe the prop
arty of railroads is no more used for
public thoroughfares than are the pri-
vately owned ranches and farms IN
this country Even in Canada. with
more excuse than the United States
for permitting trespassing in and
around railroad tracks, has rigid anti
trespassing laws which are trictly en-
forced.
"The railroad companies are anxious
to have strong anti-trespass laws and
in the few states in the east where
there are such laws, they do thelr pest
70 enforce them. But they can not
keep people from their property un-
less laws have been passed and un-
less, when passed, they are enforced, ~
In Oklahoma practically every grade
crossing accident or injury to a tres
passer results in a suit for damages
fostered by professional damage suit
lawyers, and in many cases Jurles
assess large verdicts. AS all sums
paid for damages must come out Oh
the earnings of the railroads, and ul-
timately from the pockets of the pup
lie, this subject is one which should
receiva thoughtful attention.-(Adv)

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS
Railway Commission Reports 5000 Fa
taIities Result of Carelessness.

The number of persons killed at
grade crossings and while trespassing
on railway property in the United
States is about six thousand annually.
This is sixty per cent of all the fatal
accidents which occur on our railways
and is double the number of passen-
gers and employees killed.
Most of the accidents at grade cross
ings are due to the operation of au-
tomobiles, and, as the number of
these machines in use is increasing
enormously, it is apparent that more
attention must be given to this sub
iect.
The railway commission of Califor-
MIA has recently completed a thor
ough investigation and some interest
ing facts and observations are given
by Alex Gordon, a member of this
these accidents are due to the care
lessness of automobile drivers. Out

tor vehicle drivers, who were observ-
ed at railroad crossings seventy per

Commissioner Gordon then draws
the following conclusions.
"lIeanwhile the existing situation
must ne met II has been suggest
od that the legislature should pass
laws reouirinr all motor vehicles to
como 70 a full stop before passing
over Grade crossings. It is the opin-
ion of many such a law would be
reasonable and because it was un-
reasonable would not be enforced.
The citv of Long Beach has an ordi-
nance requiring all jitneys to stop
before crossing a railroad track and
