THE TRAFFIC LAWS.

~> mand revision from top to bottom.
 As they stand, auto owners arc being compelled to pay fines fer yio- lations which should not be classcd as violations, and reckless nni eare- less drivers in nine cases out of ;en they get by.
 Designed to safeguard the peIes- trian, to prevent traffic accidents and to keep the streets open for t.:tf- fife, the ordinances fail to do any of these things.
 We have a parking ordinance in Pine Bluff that defies observance. It nas so many and such varied pro- visions, and the most of the,n alc so contrary to common sense, ;i,at the average man in motor ca. doesnt know half of the time whether he is obeying the law or violating IT.
 We have an ordinance governing lights that also fails of it's purpose. Under this ordinance a patent lens attached permits the use of any brilliant lights. Ford cars anl other cars without this lens may have lights ever so dim, but if they haven'r the patent lens their owners are hauled into court and fined The city thus assesses man whose car, technically violating the law, has lights really less glaring and less likely to cause accidents than has the car which having patent lens, escapes techni- cal law violation. Twelve more were fined in police court for this offenst yesterday. The owner of the Graphic was among the number, was guilty technically of violating the law ant paid fine. This is not case oi sour grapes. Sometimes it takes act ual contact with a situation to ac quaint one with it's faults.
 The purpose of the ordinance gov erning parking is to prevent acci dents, to keep traffic from being blocked and to protect property il case of fire. When the parking ordi nance fails to accomplish these pur poses it is dead timber as an ordi nance.
 The light ordinances chiefly is de signed to prevent accidents. Whel it fails to do this, it too is dead tim Der.
 Persons fined for technical viola tions of these ordinances are fine uselessly when they are guilty O no genuine offense or when the! have not been guilty of making O tending to make, traffic more dan gerous.
 The biggest trouble with traffic i, Pine Bluff is reckless driving ant speeding. Careless driving by wo < men is another thing that is a bi, danger in this town. The police en deavor to prevent these abuses. Be cause of their limited numbers, the. have not been extremely successful The question of preventing speeding and reckless driving would be problem for twice the number 0 police the city now employs.
 But if the present traffic regula tions are absurd, and the GIaphi contends that majority of tnei provisions are, the police and th municipal court are serving no pur pose by arresting and lining autsisi Z who are merely technically guilty.
 It also is to be desired that viola tions of traffic parking and ligh ordinances be punished, under cer tain "rulc of reason" of which bot the officers and the court should b the judge.
 It would be better all the wa. round if all of the traffic ordinance were revised, so that they carry oni, { provisions which have their basis II common sense Then rigid en forcement of traffic laws woul mean no injustice.

result Of this meeting committee,

funds to fight the grasshoppers at
once and save what crop there is in
this county this year.
The National Red Cross has offered
Bottineau County the sum of $4,000
as a gift provided all townships in the
county would raise $1,000 each and
