antee to the motoring public

Ninety-five percent of the motor

about. In fact, it could be said that
these laws will not affect them only
in making our streets and highways

Drivers License And Financial
Laws Passed


The Ohio general assembly has
passed the drivers license and fl
nanciaI responsibility laws. Both
of these laws are considered safety
measures and will, without ques-
tion, when properly enforced, take
off the streets and highways the
reckless, careless, drunken drivers
who are said to be about five per-
cent of the present motorists.

time a dangerous state to drive i'll

steadily increasing until there have
been thousands of accidents and
hundreds of deaths in our state. In
13 states out of the 81 that have
such laws, is reported de-
crease during 1884, while the 9TH
er states that do not have these
laws, including Ohio, have had a

to this time.
Every driver of an automobile in
Ohio will be required to have eth
er an operators or hauffeur's IL
cense
The fee will be 25c and license
will be issued a year at time, the
expiration date to be June 30th.
Licensing will be under the state
registrar of motor vehicles, who
will have deputies in every county.
Habitual drunkards, users of mar
cotics, the insane, epileptic and
feeble minded, and persons having
physical or mental disabilities
which would prevent them from ex-
ercising ordinary control of motor
vehicles, will be among those barred
from obtaining drivers licenses.
Minors will be denied licenses un-
less parent or guardian makes ap-
plication in their behalf.
Examinations will not be requir-
ed of all applicants, but can be or
dered in the registrars discretion.
Actual demonstration of driving,
eyesight tests, and inquiry as to
the applicants knowledge of traffic

time, for they are opposites. Hen
ry will have to make up his mind
! 1t is true that federal funds are
being used to set up the govern
ment in competition with private
business-one business. That is
electric power But that is not a
red import. 1t is an old American
custom, practiced for years success
fully by conservative Republicans
and Democratic municipalities to
prevent rate-gouging by private mo-
nopoly. And it is form of de-
fensive public competition, which
probably will be extended to other
utility and natural-resource indus
tries if private monopoly continues
to prevent national recovery.
AS for government control of f.
nance, which was voted by Republi-
cans in congress no less than DEM
ocrats, does Mr.. Fletcher propose
to relax regulation of the banks and
stock markets? Has he the cour-
age to go to the people with this as
the next campaign issue? The Re-
puhlic"n National Committee may
have tten February, 1888, but
there a good many million vic
Tins OF busted banks who have
not.
Finally, Mr.. Fletcher objects to
rigid governmental control and
operation of agriculture There is
no such thing in this country-not
yet. But IL years of G. o. P. gov
nj fol in fo
mounting mortgages and tenancy.
brought us to control of agriculture
by creditors. If the New Deal had
not reversed upward the trend of
farm prices, much of American ag-
riculture today would not be worth
operating. as the banks and other
mortgage-nolders discovered to
their dismay.
And if the Roosevelt administra-
ton does not succeed in almost i'm
possible task of helping the farmer
to reclaim his land and to make
living on it, the creditors probably
will unload it on the government.
If that happens, it will not be, as
Mr. Fletcher fears, because of So
cialistic plots in Washington, but
because neither the individualistic
farmer nor the capitalist creditor
can afford to keep the losing hand
The Fletchers and the Longs will
get nowhere with attacks of this
type on the President. Their ire is
irrelevant, and the public knows it.
The only way they can capture
the Presidents popularity and un-
seat him in their partisan cam
paigns is to produce a better leader.
America in distress is very practi-
cal-minded.
If Huey Long wants the people to
believe that he is a better man than
the President, he will have to prove
to them that his dictatorial rule in
Louisiana is more democratic and
more efficient than Roosevelt rule.
What chance is there of that?
If Chairman Fletcher wants the
voters to rally to his Old Guard, he
will have to prove to them that the
Old Deal on its record is better than
the New. And what chance is there
of that?-Columbu Citizen.

Judged Ry His Enemies

IL leader is judged by the en-
emies he makes, President Roose-
velt's reputation is riding high to-
day. The latest to attack him are
Senator Huey Long, candidate of
the Long party for President, and
Chairman Fletcher of the Republi-
can National Committee, who is
looking for reactionary candidate.
Since Mr.. Long criticizes the Presi-
dent as an alleged Conservative,
and Mr.. Fletcher tries to make him
out a Socialist, their attacks fairly
we'll cancel each other.
Huey hurled himself into the SEN
ate chamber yesterday and in cpl
thet that was matched only by his
new spring clothes, proceeded to
break his own record for personal
abuse. Here are samples:
Roosevelt desires that there
shall be re-inficted upon the
state the rottenest, most cor
ruptive form of political de-
bauchery ever known, and |
don't mean maybe.
Lord High Chamberlain
Ickes, the Chinch Bug of Chi
cago.
Secretary Wallace, the Lord
Destroyer, the Ignoramus Of
Iowa.
There could be no better tip-off
on the intellectual caliber Of the
gentleman from Louisiana. 1t hap
pens that the names of Ickes and
Wallace are in themselves proof
that the President does not operate
on the partisan anG corrupt plane
SO familiar in Louisiana. There
never have been cabinet officers in
Washington further above corrup-
tion than these two. AS for par
tisanship, they are not even Demo-
Gratis. Perhaps that is what Huey
has against them. Perhaps he OBJ
jects to Progressives in the cabinet,
especially Republican Progressives.
But even if Mr.. Ickes were
chinch bug-whatever that means
politically-and Mr.. Wallace were
an ignoramus, that would not weak
en- the Presidents relief issue in
Louisiana or justify the Long dicta-
torship there. Senator Long has
merely proved again that there is
no limit to his billingsgate. So
what?
Mr.. Fletcher is somewhat more
subtle, as becomes a former diplo-
mat, but he also has the idea that
political debate consists of ground
less assertions. He plays it safe,
however. He simply revives the
old red bogey-the refuge of every
patrioteer.
"'The planned economy of the
Wallaces, Warrens and Tugwells is
merely New Deal version" he
says, "of the MARKHAM philosophy
He continues:
We must stop using federal
funds to set the government up
in business in competition with
private enterprise. We must
stop the definite movement to-
ward state Socialism which has
for it's purpose, if not the
0wership, at least the rigid
governmental control and oper-
alton Of agriculture, finance,
business and industry

mixed. The New Deal cannot be

The Fruit Prospects

definitely amount of injury caus-
ed by the recent cold weather, ac-
cording to Leon Havis, of the de-
partment of horticulture at the Ohio
experiment station. Very little ef
the fruit in central and northern
Ohio seems to be damaged. Rec
ords have been taken of the per-
centage of the fruit buds killed on
the fruits and varieties most likely
to be injured. The minimum tenn
perature at the station orchard oc-
Cured on the night of April Is,
when it dropped to 10 degrees.
The Elberta and other more ad-
vanced varieties of peach buds were
not open, but some of them were
beginning to show color. The sweet
cherries were hardly as far advance
ed The Japanese plum buds were
opening, but the European plums
and the sour cherries were not as
far advanced as the above fruits.
Practically none of the peach
buds were killed at the station or
chard. About so percent of the
sweet cherry buds were destroyed:
however, the remaining 35 or 40
percent is enough for a full crop.
At least rs percent Of the Japanese
plums were injured, leaving suffi-
cient for a good crop. Neither the
European plums (mOst important
type in Ohio) nor the sour cherries
seem to have been injured appre-
ciably. The apples show no injury
at the station.
The rate at which the tempera-
ture falls is very important. When
it falls slowly during several days
or when the temperature has been
low for a week or two just previous
to it's lowest point the buds will
withstand a lower level than other
wise. If the temperature rises slow
ly after it's lowest level it is like
wise better for the buds. Many Of
these factors were favorable during
the recent low temperatures, which
accounts to large extent for the
lack of serious injury to the fruit
in northern and central Ohio.

we should say had the contract, had

the roads were bad was left at the

riers from McConnelsyille, Reiners-

On account of the fact that our
forefathers built their homes near

thought perhaps as to whether a
road would ever be built past their
home, makes it impossible to reach
every home-so quite few have to
go some distance to their route.

added to the routes. What a change
