LEGISLATORS PLEASE NOTE

It is noted in an exchange that one of the eastern states
where the drivers license law is functioning with wonderful
efficiency is Massachusetts. he result Of its successful admins
figures of Chicago and Boston.
Chicago has about twice as many motor vehicle fatalities
per 100000 population as Boston. Massachusetts has a drivers
license law. Illinois has none.
An interesting feature of the Massachusetts law is the
penalty prescribed for the intoxicated driver. If he is caught
voked for one year. This has had a very wholesome effect in
Massachusetts,, which is known as a state with anttprohibiton
leanings.
1t is also interesting to know that during a recent year,
$4,000 applicants for drivers license were refused as not com
petent to drive cars safely. The majority of these refusals was
occasioned by illiteracy. 1t is considered absolutely essential
that one be able to read traffic signs.
Massachusetts, does not stop, however, with the revocation
or the suspension of the drivers license. A fine of not less than
$40 or more than 5000, or Imprisonment for a term of not less
than two years, or both, is imposed upon conviction for operat-
ing as follows:
Recklessy; while under the influence of liquor; so as to en-
danger the lives or safety of the public; upon a bet wager or
for the purpose of making a record and thereby violating the
speed laws and regulations; going away after knowingly collid-
ing with or otherwise causing injury to another vehicle or prop
erty; driving without authority; getting a license or assisting in
getting a license by false statements or impersonauon or loan
ing a license.
The recognized success of the Massachusetts law can be
directly traced to the fact that there are teeth in it and that
enforcement has been impartial and fearless.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND LESS

County Treasurer McFarlan has issued a call to redeem 100000
of Roosevelt countys bonded indebtedness the first of the new year.
This is half of a $4,000 issue foated long before the present county
board took office. Three thousand five hundred dollars of another issue
will also be paid.
These payments will mean over $4,000 less interest to pay each
year. The extremely heavy debt the county is gradually crawling from
under is one of the big factors in making taxes high. Business fore
sight has compelled the commissioners and the treasurer to meet the
big annual interest bill, and build up a sinking fund to provide for the
retirement of obligations at their maturity.
Outside of levies not within the scope of county government, and
not within the control of the county board, the tax rate in Roosevelt
county is below the average, we believe, for counties of it's class. Such
levtes as those of incorporated towns school districts, and those voted
by the people ire not the boards responsibility. That is not intended
TO mean that those levies are not all of them both justifable and
necessary Averaged biennialy, the strictly county levy has varied
only a mill or two during the last six years, being close around 81 or
3S mills, which is very small compared to the total, especially in some
districts.
Because of its great size equal to some eastern states) and the
vast amount of nontaxable land Qndian reservauon) the county is
virtually forced to build and maintain miles of roads and numbers of
schools far out of proportion to the taxable property and the number
critics join the knockers chorus without knowing the facts or looking
into the motives of those who start the racket.
No set of officials can be alwise OF perfect, but the standard of
efficiency and faithfulness maintained at the court house since the
great overthrow of 1922 has been high and a radical change compared
to the old regime. Before % headlines did not tell of "a Hundred
Thousand Less" of county debts, but a Hundred Thousand More.
The county is in the constructive age, the period of development
High taxes at such a time cannot be avoided if we re to carry on and
do the fair thing by the growing generation by paying the debts we
incurred. Economy is fine but usually it is spelled promise. Roose-I

new official family taking office next month. The new officials should
have the friendly cooperation of citizens in general as a aid toward
keeping up the standard of economical and efficient service set by their
predecessors

being driven over the road on
which the escape was to be made.
Wick related that he and Taylor
abandoned their machine north Of
Nashua after the robbery, return
ed to Glasgow and boarded a train
for Kalispell.
At kalispelI
The confession stated Wick and
Taylor received S1,100 each from
the loot and later discovered
Adams had kept $1,000. Wick told
the sheriff he and Taylor stayed
with Taylor's mother at Kalis-
pell. He declared he did some
drinking while at that city and
lost most of his share of the
money from his hip pocket.
Wick. Sheriff Olson said, return
ed to Kalispell against Taylor's
wishes and was arrested shortly
after his arrival.
Cashier E. T. Peterson of the
Nashua bank has identified Wick
and Adams as two of the robbers.
