Editor Capital Journal: While seat
ed in the Marion hotel lobby last even
ing, the writer heard a gentleman who
motored from Seattle remark, that Of all
the cities he ever visited Salem was
the worst in violating the automobile
laws. He said that the glaring head
light and no tail lights Lit were so COM
mon he wondefed if Salem had any po-
lice. The writer was in hopes that edi-
torials that appeared in The Capital
Journal touching this matter, would be
needed, but we were doomed to disap-
pointment. We heard a city alderman
remark a few days ago that as the po-
lice chief was elected by the people So
he paid no attention to suggestions from
the city fathers. Portland in the month
of August collected $3500 in fines for
the violation of the auto law. A little
village of North Salem collected $1l0,
