That Drivers License Bill

Governor Ross Sterling has been petfioned by mem
bers of the senate to submit to the present session Of the
Legislature the question Of licensing drivers Of automobiles
in Texas.
such vehicles to pass certain tests and to obtain a license
from the state was killed during the regular session by
the house.
It is to be hoped that the governor will accede to the
petition and present the matter.
1t is further to be hoped that the legislature will see
the wisdom Of the passage Of some sort Of regulatory
measure that will place at least some restrictions on the
operators of motor vehicles.
Principal argument advanced against the bill which
failed to pass the house in the course Of the regular ses-
sion hinged upon the curtailment Of personal liberties and
rights which the limiting Of the right to operate motor
vehicles to those who could pass the prescribed test would
impose.
Texas l. one Of the few states which fails to make
operators of motor vehicles pass some kind of a test to
determine their fitness to guide a machine which carries
with it such possibilities Of danger not only to the occu-
pants, but to others.
We have no doubt but that by far the great majority
of those who today are driving automobiles could pass any
test which might be imposed. If they could not pass the
test today, they would be able to pass it with a very little
study of rules Of the road and what to do in emergencies.
Very fact that the test would force many to study
the operation Of cars with a view to determining their
possible action in event of emergency and danger is one of
the most potent arguments that can be advanced for the
passage of a drivers license law.
It would harm none Of us to be forced to brush up
every little while on rules Of the road, traffic ordinances,
hand signals and the like. Surely all will agree that the
more motorists who are familiar with these things, the
fewer accidents there will be.
And, Of course, there is the other argument, that
drivers will be more careful in the operation ot their
machines If they face the possibility Of losing their license
in event Of accident in which they were at fault.
Valley counties whose highways are literally, covered
with automobiles should back the proposal TO the limit.
Our accident toll is high. Anything that will help cut
down that toll should receive our hearty support.
