His articles were read by more peo-
pie than those of any other local
writer, especially those which APP
peared for many years in the Lam
caster Teller. His contributions to
History of Grant County in 1881

such results that the engineers Of the

Bill Now Before Legislature Will

Licensed automobile operators in
Idaho are among the possibilities for
the near future The proposition is
to go before the Legislature to compel
every driver of an automobile, trac-
tor or truck to take out a license.
This is distinct from the license re-
quired for the car. 1t is favored by
Robert o. Jones, secretary of state.
The fee proposed is 81. The measure
is not proposed as a revenue produc-
err, but is intended to reduce the dan
ger to life and property from reckless
driving. These daredevils, it is point
ed out care little about paying an oc-
casional fine for speeding; but when
they realize that they are liable to
lose their licenses and be deprived OF
driving altogether they will exercise
greater care. 1t is also argued that ii
