negligence, who have long and contin-

driving records, will be ruled off the
highways, if bills such as recently in
PRODUCED in the Oregon legislature by
State Senator Bynon are passed.
The bill was originated by the Am

carries the endorsement of the Nation

Safety. 1t has been in effect in a
number of states for several years.
Under it, driver responsible for GER

of his license. The bill is reciprocal in
that persons ruled off the roads of
one state cannot obtain a license to
drive in another state which has the

the habitual criminal, never reforms.

LIQUOR TAKES THE STEER
ING WHEEL

In a recent series of graphic bulle-
tins, the National Safety Council
points to a tremendous increase in
drunken driving during the past year
and to substantial gain in the
number of deaths and injuries due to
mixing alcohol and gasoline. The first
twelve months of repeal may have
been beneficial in some respects-but
it left devastating trail of death
behind it. Severe as the drunken driv-
ing problem was during prohibition,
it has become doubly severe now.
The best obtainable statistics indi-
cate that five to ten per cent of both
drivers and pedestrians involved in
traffic accidents are under the inf1u
ence of liquor. These statistics, how
ever, in the belief of the Council, I'M
derstate matters, inasmuch as null
titude of accidents occur in which
drinking is a factor but is not re-
ported for one reason or another. A
short time ago a thorough survey
was made of 119 accidents involving
116 injuries and fatalities-and it
showed thai in so per cent of the ac-
cidents the alcohol factor was in
volved According to the authority
making this survey, as little as one
ounce of whiskey will cause a meas
urable loss of driving efficiency in the
average person.
Reports from traffic departments
throughout the nation thoroughly
back up the fact that drunken driving
is showing an astounding gain. Drum
ken driving arrests amount to from
20 to 100 per cent more than they did
year ago, and police authorities
likewise state that rising percentage
of accidents can be ascribed to the
''little black bottle"
Here is a problem that involves
the health, life and property of every
citizen. 1t is a problem that must be
fought by US all, drys and vets alike,
Under the best conditions, highways
and streets are potentially danger
ous-and they become slaughter
houses when whiskey takes the steer
| ing wheel.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1935-02-28

chances are that he will never change.
No matter how many accidents he may
have, and how many times he may be
arrested, he will continue to cause
more accidents and violate more traf-
fic laws. Thousands of cases are on
record where one driver has been re-
sponsible for a score or more of acct
dents within a relatively short period
of time. Such drivers menace the life,
health and property of US all-they
have no right to drive automobiles.
1t is estimated that, after the 1885
legislative sessions close, IS to 80 per
cent of all motorists in the country
will be affected by safety response
bility law. 1t will be a potent weapon
in the war against our mounting toll
of automobile accidents-nine out of
ten of which are easily avoidable.

Foxy FOXhunters of 40 Years
Ago

Fox hunters were foxy FORT years
ago, according to story from the
correspondent at Oak Hill. Here's the
story, copied from The Republican of
February Z, 1895:
GAS Silas Teats was coming from
Friendsville last Thursday he was
met on the lonely road up the noun
tain by three desperadoes Tor he took
them to be such) with Winchesters.
Mr.. Teats was very badly frightened
and begged piteously to be allowed to
go on his way, but they would not let
him pass until he promised to take
them home with them and give them
warm cup of coffee.
"Mr. Teats almost shouted for joy
to get off so easily and at once set
out for his home where upon arriving
he asked his wife to get dinner 1t was
only a few minutes until she announc-
ed that dinner was ready and invited
their guests out to the table. By this
time Mr.. Teats' courage had come
back to him and wishing to know
their business through this part of
the country, began asking questions,
which he found them very willing to
answer. After keeping the conversa-
ton up for some time, he learned that
the three men were only fox hunters,
residents of the Selbysport commu-
nifty"

FALLACY OF FREE MONEY

The American public has come to
look on the Federal government as a
financial Santa Claus, which goes on
forever distributing the bounty of
"free money" for one purpose or an
other. One of the proudest boasts of
many elected officials is that they
have been able to get this appropria-
ton or that for their State.
Current plans call for an expendi-
ture of some $5,OO0,O00,0OO for public
works by the Federal government.
Much of this great sum will be dis
tributed to the States to spend for
roads, relief, dams, public buildings
or some other public purpose. When
the money has been spent, citizens
will look at the imposing court house
or super-highway or whatever it ere
ated and think happily that it cost
them nottingham magical forces at
play in Washington produced the
money out of the air and kindly pass
ed it on.
Well, that OOO,OOO,OOO will be
raised through the sale of Federal
bonds. These bonds amount to mort
gage on every piece of property in the
nation-every home, farm, factory, or
investment. If the 100000 is
divided by the number of Congress
sional districts in the country, the
share for each district amounts
to about $12,000,000. Every nickel of
that money must be paid back by the
American people through taxation
and they must pay, in addition, many
hundreds of millions more in interest
on the government bonds. Probably
few Congressional districts would bur-
den themselves with a $12,000,000
bond issue if it were proposed to vote
such a debt against the district.
Unhappily, there is no such thing
as a financial Santa Claus-the tax
money put in our stockings is taken
out of our pocketbooks-plus interest.

LINCOLN STOOD FOR CON.
STITUTIONAL GOVERN
MENT

A short time ago the nation observed
Lincoln's Birthday. 1t would be fine
thing for the country if American cit
liens gave little time to bordering
the ideals and principles for which the
martyred President stood.
Lincoln was the embodiment of true
democracy. No man was ever more
passionately devoted to liberty, to
freedom, to destroying human bond
age of whatever kind. His was 10y
atty to country that went beyond
party, beyond partisan politics-and
that would willingly make any sacri-
flee in order that the nation might en-
dure, progress and prosper. No task
was too great, no duty too exacting,
if it would help to preserve and main
tain those enduring principles laid
down by the founders of the country
in the United States Constitution.
During four years of unparalleled
national crisis, Lincoln was the rock
that could not be swayed by mob SEN
timent, by fear, by the lust for power,
by the desire for personal gain. No
man ever possessed greater hatred
for war-yet Lincoln went into the
Civil War deliberately, knowing that
tragic as the waste of men and re-
sources would be, it was essential to
the preservation of the Union. Be-
tween 1860 and 1864 America stood
at the crossroads Lincoln drove
relentlesly forward on the course that
meant the continuance of liberty, de-
mocracy and Constitutional principles
The issues that surrounded Lincoln
have passed, but the characteristics of
the man remain, and will not be for
gotten. In times like these when So
called emergency measures threaten
the very foundations of our Constitu-
tional government, it is well to remem-
Der Lincoln and his work.
