NOT WANTED HERE

De we need fascist in this coun-
try? The question is pertinent be-
cause of the report that such organ
izations are to be formed not only in
European countries but also in
America as a counter irritant to the
communists. Need we take the
communists in this country as seri-
ously? For it is serious to establish
an order which looks to dictatorship
for leadership. That method in Italy
is said TO have been a great help to
the stability of the country for the
time being, but how pass from
dictatorship to normal representa-
tive government after stability is
secured? That Is very important
question. Neither fascist nor COM
munists fit into American affairs.
They both. are symptoms of long
misgovernment in foreign countries
and are not in accord with American
institutions, methods or principles.

COMPULSORY MOTOR
INSURANCE

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature by Senator Cram OF
Portland designed to place on all
persons, given a State permit to
drive motor vehicles, responsibility
for damage they may inflict upon
others, including other motorists,
pedestrians and all having occasion
to travel upon the States highways.
Under existing conditions the
State permits a person without any
financial responsibility, other than
the first payment on his car. which
is assumed, to drive upon those
highways a machine, which expert
ence has shown to be a possible if
not a probable menace to the safety
of the public. Persons have suf-
fered injuries and been denied all
recompense. Among the injured
have been those made destitute by
the injuries received. while the
party responsible for inflicting the
injuries continued a highway men,
ace.
A legislative committee in Massa-
chusetts has recently reported it's
conclusions after a. six months study
of highway problems. One of these
conclusions is to the effect that
that there should be required of the
motorists registered in that State
compulsory liability insurance COW
ering personal injury only. There
were 7OS persons killed and 1888
injured in that State last year in
accidents. in which motor vehicles
We're involved. The committee would
require each applicant for registra-
ton to file certificate from an au-
thorized insurance company, show
ing that the applicant is insured on
account of accident to an amount
nor exceeding $4,000 for a single in
jury or death, and not exceeding
$4,000 for a single accident.
The dissenting member of this
committee declared that this method
would force upon &C per cent of the
motorists an insurace which they
didn't want, when only three per
cent of the licensed operators in
that State are involved in personal
accidents. Instead Of the majority
plan he would have law granting
the injured a lien on the machine,
though admitting this would not af-
ford adequate compensation
The Cram bill would require in
smance against both property aRa
personal damage but would permit
the deposit of security in place Of
insurance. Some measure Of like
import, we believe, should receive
the approval of the Legislature. The
present laws grant privileges to
motorists without exacting response
bilities. Not only should the State
refuse to register any person to
drive a motor vehicle without first
having sought and found reasonable
assurance that the person is fitted
as regards character and skill to
drive such a vehicle, it also should
require reasonable assurance that
this person is financially RESPONSE
BILE for injuries he may inflict with
his motor vehicle There will be
many features to consider, but we
believe the principle of compulsory
insurance of automobiles is sound
and essential.

men, and 50 desiring he built his
life and character upon the firm

heartfelt sympathy went out to the
