A. r. Lynch CT Attorney General
Murphy's office, in his brief talk,
stated that the trouble with law
enforcement.s1s that there are} too
many fool laws to enforce." His
main criticism was that it appears
to be the spirit of the time to egis-
late regarding actions of individuals
which laws cannot control. In this
respect Lynch asserted, 1--WE are try
ing to protect people against things
which they are able to protect them
selves against"
President c.. o. Brisbois then out
lined the traffic problem dwelling
most on the things which have been
done in Phoenix to combat diff
culties due to heavy automobile
travel. He remarked that too short
parking limit is inclined to make
business concerns angry as it is
claimed the customers are limited for
time in which to make purchases.
Renting of parking spaces in the btga
cities helps sometimes but is in
clined to be expensive the speaker
held. One suggestion which he Of
fered, however, that met with very
favorable response was that calling
for the adoption of uniform signal
system for traffic throughout Aci-
zona. TOO many headlights are glar
ing, he added, and suggested that
uniform regulations be adopted for
that evil also.
FL. C. Parsons, of Phoenix, spoke
on auto thefts, and mentioned above
all else that the only certain way
of Identifying stolen machines is by
the motor number and these num-
bers he asserted will soon be on
file in the secretary of states Of
flee Parsons also asked that Of
ficers make certain of the identifica-
ton Of suspects and see to it that
the signatures on certificates of iden-
tifieation arc genuine. His final plea
was for the public to lock their
cars and in that way at loast to
block the majority of auto thieves
LaPraae before discussing the situa-
ton at Florence, stated that county
attorneys and judges will convict if
the officers arresting the prisoners
viii on present evidence to go by.
In obtaining this testimony, he urged
the officers to arrest a man quietly
and not abuse him and then to talk
to him in the hope that he will
give some valuable information He
then wont briefly into the condi-
tions at Florence as he has seen
them.
The final speaker Of the day was
Mr.. Hayes of the bureau Of investiga-
ton, department of Justice stationed
at Phoenix EIe thanked the peace
officers for their cooperation with
Ahe government officials and told
how his department in 1925 recovered
