CORRESPONDENT SCORES
RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS
Cashmere, Wash, 4-1S-21

Dear Editor
The number of accidents and deaths
resulting from reckless automobile
driving prompts me to sound a note
OF warning to drivers. The death
rate from auto wreckage is appalling
and Is on the increase. When we see
so much reckless driving it seems a
wonder that accidents are not more
numerous.
Many drivers are so impatient that
they cannot, seemingly, pause on q
favorable spot along a bad road to
wait and let an approaching car pass
IN safety, just as though they ami
their little car We're of as much i'm
portance as through express train.
Of course, in the case of pressing
business or very urgent need of
haste. as on an errand of mercy. there
may be excuse for almost reckless
haste, but careful drivers are con
stantly endangered by purely reck-
less driving of careless people who
can have no excuse other than care
less indifference to public. and p1i-
vate, safety.
Lamentation over the sudden wreck
can never undo the damage or atone
Tor rash act. The victim of careless
driving cannot be brought back to life
by any amount Of repentance. An
ounce Of prevention is worth all the
cure that can not be effected in such
cases, and it is the belief Of the writ
er that nine-tenths of the appalling
number of auto accidents could have
been averted by drivers using proper
discretion.
| mention three causes of disasters.
~ Drivers being near-sighted; (2)
Drivers hearing being defective. and
(3) Driver being of unsound mind
And ! do most emphatically say that
those who drive pell-mell around
bluffs and curves and over bad roads
arc of unsound mind.
There Is great need of more strict
laws rigidly enforced to protect lives
and property.

ASKS SUSPENSION
OF DIVERSION CHARGES.
Fruit Growers Already Burdened
With High Freight Rates.

An appeal has been made by j. Cur
It's Robinson, Traffic Manager of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, to the
Public Service Commission of the
State of Washington and to the traf-
fic officials of the railroads of the
West, to indefinitely suspend the
charges for diversion in transit of
carloads of fruits.
What is claimed by Robinson to be
an added penalty to the fruit indus
try, is requested removed. For a wear
or more, hearings have been held be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at various places throughout
the United States to determine the
necessity for the privilege of divert
ing fruits in transit and what charge
should be made therefor Volumes
OF evidence have been submitted
The Interstate Commerce Commission
rendered a tentative report which
only permitted three diversions. pro
vidlng one was made prior to arrival
a. destination and only two diversions
II they both were made after arrival
at destination without assessing local
rates
The American Fruit e. Vegetable
Shippers Association and other SINH
lar national associations, protested
against the restrictions proposed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and against the increased charges
which they recommended. The Com
mission Examiner had recommended
charges of $3.50 for the first diver
sion, $3.50 for the second third
fourth and fifth, and $1,000 for each
subsequent diversion.
Robinson, who is Chairman of the
Traffic Committee of the American
Fruit d Vegetable Shippers Associa-
ton, has been quite active in the dis
cussion of this subject with the car
rlers. He has appealed TO them and
TO the Public Service Commission to
make recommendations to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, advo-
eating an indefinite suspension of
these proposed charges The reasons
Tor dong so is the precarious posi-
ton OF the fruit growers at the pres
ent time. He says: "There are about
thirteen to fifteen carloads of apples
left to ship from the Northwest and
the prices which the growers are re-
celving for their fruit at present. viii
not cover the cost of production. The
imposition of these diversion charges
would be an added burden which
should not at this time be imposed.
The Public Service Commission Of
California has appealed to the Com
mission TO indefinitely suspend the
tariff. The Southern Pacific. North
western Pacific. Western Pacific. Pa
citic Electric, Frisco lines and others
which could be mentioned. have ap-
pealed to the Commission recon-
mending suspension, and Robinson i
anxious that the western lines ioin in
d formal petition of that character.
Mr.. Robinson is just in receipt Of a
telegram from Robert Cummins. sec
retary of the American Fruit G. Vege-
Ia BILE Shippers Association. stating
that oral arguments have been made
to the commission suggesting that no
changes be made for at least one year
and anticipates favorable action.

This means o tremendous

Those who know us know
we are not special sale folks

Many odd lots OF lines to

you do not delay else you

Note carefully every price
