RESPECT FOR LAW

THE multiplicity Of laws is one of
= the leading factors in the disre-
spect for law, according to E. L. Skeel
of Seattle, attorney Washington
Press association. The public con-
science is not less keen, but the con-
tinuous grind of legislatures turning
out ill-considered legislation has
largely exhausted public energy in
keeping track Of the mass of laws
most of which Mr.. Skeel believes en-
mate from factions, minorities OF
blocs.
"Mere disagreement with the law
of course, does not excuse it's viola
ton. Educational work should be in
creased to create stronger individual
inclination to respect the law.
"But this should be only par,
and at present the least important
part of the campaign, the principle
thing is to simplify the law, avoit
the tendency to legislate On ever,
subject, to make it more difficult tt
pass laws, and to make it a fact tina
law when enacted is well considered
thoroly tested and of proven merit.

YOUR CHILD MAY BE NEXT

A LITTLE girl was killed near Wa
"A patio Tuesday while waiting for
the school bus. 1t was the usual story.
She ran in front of the automobile
the car was going too fast to stop
in time; two more parents are carry
ing broken hearts. rs
The driver was not drunk. He was
not a calloused criminal. He was just
one of respectable party of young
people out for a good time hurrying
home from a party. The little girl was
to blame. Probably the fact that her
little body was hurled sixty feet and
that the car ran 176 feet and snapped
off a telephone pole after the driver
started to stop, does not add mater
tally to their grief.
Here in Sunnyside every day-ev-
cry hour Of the day-drivers are TAX
ing just such chances and little girls
and boys-are darting into the
streets in childish disregard Of dan
ger. Your child may be brot home to
you today, tomorrow, any day, per-
haps dead or perhaps less fortunately
crippled for life.
Our city is too poor, our taxes are
too high, to permit us to have an Of
ficer of the law on duty to curb the
recklessness Of the speeders. tt
ought to be enough parents willing
to chip in and pay the salary Of a
traffic officer. They would not need
to be public spirited just selfishly
willing to protect their own children
from men who are willing to endan-
ger them.
These same men who are willing to
run the risk of manning Or killing
our children would not be so ready to
run the risk of paying a stiff fine, i
there was an officer about the streets,
occasionally arresting one. The safe
ty Of others is nothing to them. The
law is nothing to them except as it
means punishment for their indiffer-
ence.-Sunnyside Times.

of the Bank of Commerce and Saw
ings, said in letter to the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association. 1.-The
depositors found that where distribu.
ton was delayed until December Is
or later they were losing the best OF
the Christmas shopping opportunities.
Their money was not available until
the merchandise had been somewhat
depleted"
'One of the factors in bringing
about earlier distribution of these
funds" Edward ID. Shaw, secretary or
the Merchants Association. said to-
day, was the fact that, in practically
all cities. retail merchants have recog.
nized the tendency toward earlier
shopping, and this season have placed
their Christmas holiday stocks on
sale much earlier than in former
years. In Washington. for example.
merchants this year are displaying
their full holiday lines earlier than
ever before"
