New Traffic Code for
State Urged by Groups
Changes in Motor Vehicle Laws
Will Be Asked of Next
Legislative Session

A new state traffic code design
ed to simplify present traffic laws,
remove obsolete regulations, add
new ones and speed up prosecu-
tions has been prepared for sub
mission to the legislature when it
meets in special session in Decem-
Der.
The new code, backed by automo-
bile clubs, safety organizations, the
railroad and warehouse commission
and the state highway department,
embraces findings of state and ma
tional safety conferences. Copies
are being printed by the Highway
department and will be distributed
to all state senators and representa-
tives prior to the session, as well as
to other interested groups.
Designed to replace the present
traffic code, adopted principally in
1927, the newdact would eliminate
many features outgrown by modern
traffic conditions both on rural
highways and city streets. If it be-
comes law the code will automat-
/ ically force all city ordinances to
conform in a large measure. Sharp
changes, designed better to protect
the motorist and the pedestrian,
have been made. Some of them are :
Traffic signs, including stop-go
signals, would gradually be made
uniform throughout the state.
A new charge, negligent homi-
cide," would be created to apply
where the operation of motor We
hicle "in reckless disregard of the
safety of Others" results in the
death of any person within one
year. This charge would be a gross
misdemeanor, punishable by i'm
prisonment for up to one year or
a fine of up to $1,000 or both.
Drunken driving, reckless driv-
ing and failure to stop after an &C
cident would become misdemean-
ors, thus permitting speedy trials
in any municipal or justice court.
Quicker revocation of drivers Ii
censes also will be possible. At pre-
sent drunken driving charges are
tried in municipal courts in cities
of the first class but must face
long delays for district court ses-
sions outside the large cities. In
reducing both charges from gross
misdemeanors the punishments are
reduced to Imprisonment for up to
80 days or fine of up to $100 or
both, but sponsors of the bill be-
lieve more charges would be filed
and conviction would be more GER
tain.
Speed laws would be changed to
eliminate the old "15 miles an
hour" minimum in certain local
tiles. The proposed law defines
prima facie evidence of speed
greater than reasonable and pru-
dent" as over 20 miles an hour in
any business district, over 25 miles

justice, charity, brotherly love, and
neighborliness. He stated that these
essentials were lacking today in
governments, individuals and bust
ness, and they have been replaced
by greed and desire for profit. The
Church, the school and the home,
he continued, are all working to
aid the boys in growing UP right,
and to help form character for
proper citizenship. With a great
deal of leisure time the boy grows
up the best he can, joins up with
gang, unless directed correctly.
There are a number of organiza-
tions which offer programs along
the line of character building and
among these the Boy Scout pro-
gram is recognized as the finest
and best. He stated that the boys
would find a lot of fun in that pro-
gram and advised the parents that
if they wish their boy to develop
to encourage him to continue in
Scouting. In that way he would be
aided to grow up right, with homes
ty, fair play and justice as his code
of morals. He congratulated the
boys and hoped for the continual
ton and progress of Scouting.
Mr.. Jenkins, member of Court of
Honor Committee, of Minneapolis,
and chairman of Merit Badges, re-
viewed Scouting from the Tender
foot class to the highest rank at
tainable. He stated that the Ten
derfoot shows an interest to ad-
vance among his fellows for better
work in home and community. In
Second Class Scouting he is really
started on the road to achievement
1t is more interesting and has 46
subjects from which selection five
merit badges may be obtained. He
continued on the value of First
Class Scouting, and the additional
service and study of the Star
Scout. He also stated that the next
step Life Scout, followed by the
Eagle rank, is not the end of
Scouting, but should be continued,
for bronze, gold and silver palms
are awarded for additional service
Rev. P. J. Jansen, Scout Commits
sioner, conducted the closing exer-
else, assisted by the Scouts. It was
a splendid and successful Court of
Honor, and greater interest should
be shown locally in these events.

Carbon Monoxide Death
Increase in Winter
Doctors Issue Precautions for the
Safety of Motorists,
Home Owners

st. Paul, Minn.-Each winter
brings large number of deaths
from gas poisoning. There are L.
64 Of these deaths in 1884.
Most Of them, according to the
Public Health Education Commit
tee of the Minnesota State Medical
Association, are deaths from car
bon monoxide poisoning and could
have been prevented with proper
care.
Accordingly the following pre-
cautions are emphasized by the
committee as worthy of especial at
tention as Minnesota's cold season
begins.
1. Never run your motor in a
closed garage. In spite of repeated
warnings about that, an alraming
number of deaths is still reported
from this type of carelessness.
2. See that your motor is in good
condition and that carbon mon
oxide gas is not seeping into the
air of your closed car. Many acct
dents happen because the driver is
dulled or sickened by a constant
slight inhalation of carbon moxox-
ide while he is driving.
8. See that the heating plant in
your home, no matter what the
type, has proper flues, that the
pipes are in place and that you
know how to run it to prevent
escape of half burned gases into
ill-ventilated rooms. Accidents in
volving heating plants are not con-
fined to stove heated homes. In
1884, nine Dartmouth college stud
ents lost their lives from monox-
ide poisoning due to defective
heating in their college dormitory.

an hour In any residential district
and over As miles an hour on any
other stretch Of highway not des-
ignated as dangerous by the COM
missioner of highways. It would
also make driving at a speed SO
slow as to interfere with traffic a
law violation.
The bill would permit passing at
either the right or left on any
highway having room for four
traffic lanes. 1t Is now unlawful
to pass on the right anywhere in
the state.
All "U'' turns on curves or
crests of hills would be prohibited.
The bill would give the commits
sioner of highways power to regu-
late design and operation of all
school buses.
1t would require safety glass, six
months after the passage of the
act, in vehicles used for transport
tation Of passengers for compensa-
ton, in school buses and, after
one year, in all new motor vehicles.
1t would require a reflector on
ShS ASeik VI OH NcillClCS III duulllOu
to the regular tail light.
1t would require proper control
of headlights on meeting other We
hicles, such as dimming or lowering
of beams.
Any driver involved in an acct
dent causing death, injury or $50
property damage would be required
to report to the commissioner of
highways, whether the accident
was in the city or on the rural
highways.
Pedestrians on highways would
be required to face traffic, walk
ing on the left side of the road, and
at night to wear clothing of a Wis
ible color or carry a light.
Organizations backing the new
bill include Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth Automobile clubs, the
Minnesota League of Municipali-
ties, State Safety Council, Minneso-
ia Public Safety committees, truck
ing and transport organizations
and the National Safety council. 1t
has been endorsed generally by au-
tomobile clubs throughout the state.
w. F. Rosenwald, chief mainten-
ance engineer of the State highway
department, is chairman of the
committee which drafted the re-
vised code. The committee was
formed at the invitation of the
League of Municipalities.

ally was good. Both "Rumper" and
Regular" looked upon the Schilplin
candidacy as one way out Of the
Wolf-Bremer-Regan mess. If Wolf
noses into the 1896 Democratic gu
bernatorial contest 1t Is regarded
as fairly certain that John E. Re-
gan will again be a contender. On
two previous occasions the party of
Jefferson was delivered to the
Farmer-Labor outfit and 1t looks
pretty much as If REPETITION was
in the making.
Legislature
one OF the schemes for social
security to be considered at the
coming special session of the legis-
lature is that of unemployment in
surance. The idea is to care for the
slack period in employment. 1t
looks nice and it sounds good, but
experts who have been looking into
the scheme say that it is not all
skittles and beer. The proposition
is tax on pay rolls with the gen
eral public holding the sack.
Eastwood
Carl S. Eastwood, LIE Sueur
county publisher, came back from
Chicago last week convinced from
reading the numerous favorable
comments of the Minnesota State
press that Col. Frank Knox will be
the midwest choice for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. Mr..
Eastwood was a member of the
Minnesota newspaper group re-
Gently host to Col. Knox at a din
ner given in st. Paul and in Chica-
go he conferred with a midwest
setup of Republicans who have
taken the Knox candidacy in hand.
Borah
A well-known weekly magazine
of national circulation in a recent
issue puts Republican Minnesota
in the Senator Borah presidential
column. Two months ago the Bor-
all claim was undisputable but lit.
tie is heard of the Idaho senator in
a Minnesota way these days. In
this neck of the woods he and Gov.
ALI. M. Landon, of Kansas, seem to
have faded out of the presidential
picture.
Benson
1t is the belief of Vince A. Day,
who this week resigned the job as
secretary to Gov. Floyd B. Olson
to become by appointment a Min
neapolis municipal court judge,
that Elmer A. Benson, Appleton,
state bank superintendent, will be
the 1896 Farmer-Labor convention
nominee for governor. "If Benson
wants the endorsement he will get
it" was Judge Days comment on
leaving the secretaryship. All of
which means that the administra-
ton forces are confident that they
will. be in control Of the 1896 Farm
er-Labor nominating convention
which meets in March.

Need of County Children

Piles Of need cited by Mr.. Taylor

dren sitting all day with overshoes
on because their shoes were unfit
to keep their feet warm.
Mrs. Clara Hunstiger, County
Welfare Agent, also described cases
coming to her attention within the
past few weeks where real suffer-
ing exists which could be relieved
with just a little cooperation by
the community She named a long
list of towns and villages which had
just recently sent in calls for cloth
ing relief.
Mrs. G.. w. Friedrich, Secretary
of the Federation, gave a plan of
procedure for a drive for clothing
by the following steps:
1. Find a central place (stores,
garage, schoolroom, etc. to store
materials.
2. Contact representative people
throughout the townships to help
collect clothing and other material,
and find out where the greatest
need exists.
3. Sort goods and take material
which can be made over to the
nearest w. p. A. sewing unit with
instructions as to what you wish
made.
A. Collect ready made garments
from w. P. A. when finished.
5. Distribute to the needy:

Judge Paul Ahles spoke on the
plan of the Federation of Welfare
Agencies and said, '"rhe purpose of
this organization is not to supplant
any existing organization, but to
cooperate and coordinate, and to
help each community by planning
ways and means of helping children
so that their lives may be happy
and free from trouble" It is the
opinion of the Judge that whenever

Monsignor Mahowald, Chairman
Of the Federation, presented the
speakers and summed up the main
points Of the meeting. He empha-
sized the fact that clothing is not
the only article needed but that
furniture, household goods, and
toys should be solicited. He asked
that every gift be given in reas-
onably clean condition. Monsignor
Mahowald explained that the WPA
is offering it's services through the
County Commissioners who are the
sponsors of all the county projects,
but that The Federation and the
committees appointed under the

ty.
