Motor Restrictions
 May Be Overdone
State Commissioners Stoeckel Thinks Too Many Traffic
 Guides May Become Nuisance

white line sparingly so that it will be a notice that more than ordin- ary care is necessary.
 Tt would be well to include this regard for white lines to all kinds of traffic. On Connecticut state highways the white line is used only when it is deemed necessary to warn drivers that 1t is important to keep to the right of that white line. If we instruct drivers not to cross white lines in one place, it seems inconsistant to force them to cross such lines in other places. White lines are common in many cities at walks and other places where vehicles must pass over them. Per- haps some other color would serve the purpose just as well in those places. leaving the white line al- ways a safety line which should not be crossed at any time by vehicles.
 Another example of overdoing is the excessive use of direction signs of any type. There are many places on every highway where a departure from straight path is a curve of some degree. A large curve does not necessarily require much more attention than a straight road. A short curve, which is extreme and where the view is blocked, does re- quire extraordinary care. All curves both wide and sharp, and all the many degrees in between, are usual- ly marked by i'd, ntical curve signs.
 eff there is safety warning at every curve then 1t is conceivable that operators may soon become used to these to an extent where one may not be considered seriously enough at place where the curve conditions are actually dangerous. Warnings possibly ought not to be used except where actual danger exists. The reason is that an op- erator's mind become accustomed to warnings and adjust itself to the idea that the sign ahead is "Just another" inconsequential sign.
 "Still another subject on which comment might be made is the ten dency of some authorities to post
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-13

Traffic authorities may be going too far in the setting up so-called guides to safety on the highways, in the opinion of Commissioner of Mo- tor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel. as expressed in the March bulletin of the motor vehic1e department. It is no aid to safety, but may be the opposite, he says to have so many direction signs that no one will pay attention to any of them: to have white division lines on roads where they are not needed; to have too much headlight power where ccndi- tions do not warrant rast driving at night, and to have numerous signs which do not mean what they say, such as "Stop" signs in places where the message should be "Cau- tion".
 Man performs motor vehicle op- eration, most of the tine," says the commissioner "in an environment which he himself has created. He has provided for himself, in the ways which seem best, the most fa- vorable field for his endeavor.
 In most every case these pro- visions seem justified, but there are exceptions. It appears as though in his eagerness to take care of all cases and to provide the very best safeguards, he may have overdone, and thereby induced habits which are unsafe. There is, for instance, the matter of the white line on high ways. It is admitted that a white line in the center of highway is a splendid guide, especially at night. If such a while line should be used on all highways as a reminder to keep on the right side of the road, then, from the standpoint of results. It seems possible that the line would lose it's intended effect. If white lines should be used all along the highway, an operator might be- come so accustomed to them that they might no longer point to dan ger. or indicate that an especially dangerous spot was being ap- preached. Highway builders, un- derstanding this, have used the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-13

of operation in mind. There ought not to be enough light ahead of the car to tempt an opeartor to go at speeds which are too fast to be reasonable for the kind of highway over which he is travelling.
 "The remedy has been to regulate lights by law. the state usually re- |quiring at least two hundred feet of light. Yet it is well known that two hundred feet of light would not be enough for a car which is pro- ceeding at the rate of 50 miles per hour or more. as it could not be stopped within two hundred feet :.

Dillon of 50 Pleasant street Frank Blase, 31, of 50 Pilgrim avenue suffered the loss of two fingers when his left hand was crushed in machine while af work at the Chase Metal Works. Doctors expect to save his thumb and two
 remaining fingers, although they were painfully iavcerated and mang1ed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-13

"A good example of the close re- lation between all of the factors of motor vehicle operation is that of lights at night with speed, and their joint relation to the character of the highway. More light ahead may make for more speed. At night time car speeds are not usually fast where operators cannot see far ahead, so that If driving takes place in an environment like Connecticut where there are no very long straight stretches of highway suit able for great speeds, lights ought to be considered with those features
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-13

There is no question that more light is needed. but additional light should
 be for safety and not for speed |.
 There might well be more sideIighf to take care of blind spots where one car passes another. and to light the sides of the highway. 90 that each opeartor might see enough to the side so as not to drive off the highway. The operator should also be able to see pedestrians, animals, or any other objects which are near Or at the side of the road as soon as he can see what is ahead of him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-13

, signs which do not mean what they
 say. Amy analysis of performance on the stStop Before Entering" signs in the execution of the principal of lstop street traffic will show that only a very small proportion, probably 20 per cent of operators, actually stop, but the performance of all the otil- CTS is affected to some extent by the signs. Instead or saying stop Be- fore Entering" unless that really is necessary. a sign which says "Cau- tion-Through Traffic" much bet
 ter expresses what is actually de-
 sired.

FEDERAL CONSTITUTION IMPOSES
DUTY ON STATE TO ENFORCE
EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT

When the Eighteenth Amendment was
adopted and became a part of the consti-
tuition, there was placed the same duty,
burden and obligation upon the states to
enforce its provisions as upon congress. 1t
is a mistaken idea that there is primary
obligation upon the federal government
and only a secondary obligation upon the
state. say to you, the obligation upon the
federal government and the state is iden-
tical and I cite the case of Rhode Island
v. Palmer, 253 United States supreme
court reports, page $50, in which the OPP
position to the Eighteenth Amendment
was ably represented by the Hon. Levy
Mayer, and the Hon. Elihu Root, of New
York, as well as other able lawyers. After
the most exhaustive argument and con-
sideration the supreme court of the
United States, in defining what is concur
rent power and reaffir1ming the validity &c
the amendment, held:
That amendment, by lawful pro-
posal and ratification has become a
part of the constitution, and must be
respected and given effect the same
as other provisions of that instru-
ment.
The first section of the amendment
the one embodying the prohibition
is operative throughout the entire
territorial limits of the United States,
binds all legislative bodies, courts,
public officers and individuals within
those limits, and of it's own force in
validates every legislative act, whether
by congress, by state legislature, or
by a territorial assembly, which au-
thorizes or sanctions what the section
prohibits
The second section of the amend
ment-the one declaring "the congress
and the several states shah have con-
current power to enforce this article
by appropriate observation-disclosures not
enable congress or the several states
to defeat or thwart the prohibition,
but only to enforce it by appropriate
means.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-04-01

existing law on that subject Tt oper-
ated as a repeal except as to pending
proceedings, although it contained no
express repeating clause.
The case of People v. Alfano, 322 Illinois
384, is to the same effect. Under the above
decisions the old dram-shop law and all
supplemental laws of the Old license sys-
tenn, as we'll as the local option law, are
repealed If the legislature should now re-
peal the Illinois prohibition act, the local
option law and the dram-shop act, and
its supplemental legislation will not be re-
vived. Then it must follow that the state
would be left with no prohibitory or regu-
latory laws in force as state laws.
In the case of People V. Billerbeck, 323
Illinois 48, by way of dictum, the court
said that the Illinois prohibition act over
rules the search and seizure law where
there is conflict between the two acts
And those who prepared the pending
measure took no chances about not doing
a complete job in restoring the liquor traf-
fic to Illinois it was, no doubt, the above
dictum which prompted the trainers of the
O'Grady bill to provide for repeal of the
search and seizure law as we'll as the
Illinois prohibition act. They wanted to
make sure that the repeal bill would wipe
all prohibitory laws off the statute books
of the state of Illinois.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-04-01

If this bill shall pass the senate, be
signed by the governor or allowed to be-
come a law without his signature, where
will that leave us so far as the state of
Illinois is concerned with reference to reg
ulation of the liquor traffic? And in the
consideration of that question, let us make
no mistake. The state would not go back
to license and regulation under the old re-
strictive and regulatory liquor laws Under
the ruling of the supreme court these laws
have been repealed. They are no longer
on the statute books. 7 cite the case of
People v. Williams 209 Illinois 492. In that
decision, the supreme court says:
The prohibition act is a revision of
the whole subject under the amend
ment to the federal constitution and
was intended as a substitute for the
