KILLINGS ON THE
 PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Going on Every Day and Nothing Being Done to
 Reduce Number
WHERE BLAME RESTS

People have become so accus- toned to reading about tragedies: on the public streets that they re- ceive nothing more than a passing notice. How different to the state of mind during the World war when the first thing people looked for in the papers and on the bull letin boards was news about the casualties. Everybody was stunned when he read of some boy whom he had known being killed or wounded, and yet the number was far from as many as the records show from motor accidents, and the average citizen appears to have no special interest in them.
 Worse than that, many find fault at suggestions which go to show how some of these killings on the public ways could be reduced. Much has been written in the press on the subjects, but the comments one hears about these articles are far from what one would expect. Some find fault about calling at- tention to the necessity of foot paths on the state highway$A for pedestrians. This was suggested to a state official few years ago, but he dismissed it with the statement that the, highway commission did not want to spend 8 cent on any job outside the regular width marked out for the improved road for motor travel, which meant that the man on foot had to look out for himself. his fate was a matter of no concern to the public.
 But regardless of this, the pub lie cannot help being appalled, at the number of fatal accidents on the highways, and as a result the question is frequently asked why the legislature does not pass an or- der instructing the highway conn., mission to take steps to improve walking condition on the roads and also enact laws that would deprive drunken and needless drivers from getting licenses to drive cars. It is true that many accidents are due to causes for which drivers are not responsible, but they are few com pared with those due to lack of proper caution on the part of the person at the wheel.
 Motor accidents and the neces- stiy of more stringent laws togeth- CT with the old age pension were chief topics during the election campaign, but they have received but little, if any, consideration since the general assembly met. Where does the blame rest? This is a ques- tion the reader should figure out for himself. There is no question about guilt, and this being so some- body should appear as defendant.
