the first time make it a point to
know the questions and answers and
accordingly pass the tests with little
difficulty. A good many of those who
fail to pass the tests are farmers who
live out in the country and who have
never heard about the highway laws,
although some of those who make the
worst bursts on the examinations
are city residents. So this widespread
ignorance of The highway laws and
rules for safe driving is not limited
to any one group
The results of these tests show that
he was right when he told the 1885
General Assembly that at least half
the drivers in the State knew moth
ing and cared less about the highway
laws when he was urging the enact
ment of a drivers license law, Capt
Farmer said.
Drivers licenses were issued with
out any examination until March 16,
1885, but since that date each appll-
cant for a license has been required
to answer a series of questions and
demonstrate their ability to read road
signs, stop lights and so forth, before
being granted licenses.

Tests Because of Ignor-

BY j. a. BASKERVILLE.

Raleigh, Aug. 2O.-Almost 80 per
cent of the people now applying for
state drivers licenses are being re-
fused licenses because they cannot
pass the examination given by the
highway patrol, even though this ex-
animation is very simple, Captain
Charles d. Farmer, commander of the
patrol, said today. They are given a
set of questions and answers to study
and told to come back for another ex-
animation when they have learned
the correct answers to the list of
questions A great many of these APP
plicants cannot even read the simple
inscriptions on the various highway
signs, do not know the simple hand
signals for turns and stops and have
virtually no knowledge of the sim
plest highway laws, Capt. Farmer
said.
"A few of these drivers who are I'M
able to pass the tests for drivers Ii
censes are new drivers, but most of
them are persons who have ceen driv-
ing cars for from ten to Is years ac-
cording to their own admission"

Moore had made of the Staying.
With the jury out of the room
Brown denied from the stand that
duress or inducements were used to
get Moore to confess, but said he did
tell the Negro that if he should tell
the truth the judge at his trial would
be appraised of that fact.

John D. NJ Hamilton is blamed by
most of the Republican fault finders
for the bungling of G. O. P. strategy.
Hamilton should be concentrating,
they assert, upon executive duties.
Instead, they point out. he is spend
ing his time binding personal
ly, here, there and everywhere thro-
ughout the country.
They agree that he is an excellent
spell-binder, smart as a whip and a
very live wire, but while he is tour
ing the states, they croak, the exc
cutive end of his task is going to
rack and ruin. A certain amount Of
travel is recognized as necessary for
a national chairman, but Hamilton -
accused of OVERRIDING it.
Furthermore, the Landonian leader
is referred to as having made the Re
publican campaign almost more Ham
iltonian than Landonian.
Democrats are asking:
who's the candidate? Hamilton or
Landon?'
Even Chairman Farley never has
given the impression that he consid-
cred himself more prominent than
President Roosevelt.
Republicans don't like that ques-
ton, who's the candidate?"

the names of Roosevelt and Garner
will be needed to vote the Democra-
tic presidential ticket. Some estimate
that Roosevelt will get between 5O,-
600 and 100000 more votes under this
new system than if the old plan of
voting for presidential electors had
been retained. -Four years ago there
were three lists of electors of Is
names to each list on the presidential
ballOt-One list each for the Demo
cratic, the Republican and Socialist
parties. The new plan in effect this
year will permit a very small and
compact ballot, easy to mark and vote
1t will also save the State Board of
Elections, lot of money as compar-
ed with the cost of ballots in the past.
The adoption of the new type of
presidential ballot, containing the
names of the candidates instead of
the electors, was secured in 1888 at
the request of Secretary Maxwell of
the State Board of Elections, who
pointed out that other states had
adopted the plan with great success,
especially those states in which vot-
ing machines were used.

TOO MANY LAWS
Riverside Daily Press

When Artnus Ward three-quarters OF
century ago said: I'VE governed tn mulch, ,"
he hadn't seen anything yet Ever since we have
had a growing horde of people making new
laws The city attorney in Ludlow, KY looking
into this matter. finds that an ordinary citizen
in the course of an ordinary day might become
liable to fines aggregating about $4,000 and i'm
prisonment for two years. Here's how he figures
it out
When a man opens his door to admit stray
dog he is harboring an unlicensed animal; fine
SlOO He extracts a cigaret from a package
without destroying the stamp, fine $50 and six
months in Jail. He reads detective story mag
azine and becomes a law breaker for having in
his possession a book principally made up of
accounts of criminal deeds; 10 days, fine
of $1,000 or 10 days to year in jail. He bets
scent cigar; $100 fine He backs an automobile
across a pavement, So fine. 1t backfireS, $40
fine He forgets TO put on his 1896 license
tags fine $40 to 500. He fails to exhibit city
license tags, fine $40 TO sl00 He turns through
stop" signal, fine IS. He fails to signal while
turning a corner; fine 10 to 500. He sWerves
TO the left Of the center Of the street while pass
ing car, fine $40 TO 500. II is probable that he
will break as many laws going hOlne.
It's about time cities counties states and
the federal government reversed the process and
started repeating useless laws.

DAMSITE ROADS
NEED IMPROVING.

Any one who has made the trip to
the site of Imperial dam will agree that
the county should do something about
the roads over which visitors must trav-
vel. At present, the newly constructed
road from Laguna dam up to Imperial
dam is smooth and pleasant to drive
over. But from highway 80 up to Laguna,
the old road is rough and extremely un-
inviting in many places. These stretches
should be repaired at the earliest op-
portunity. Thousands of motorists Will
visit the damsite throughout the coming
months. It is construction job in which
every Valley resident is highly interest
ed. and which will be visited many times
by Just about every tax payer IN the
valley. This alone assures considerable
traffic. In addition, tourists from other
parts of the country will want to see the
locality in view of its importance in con-
nection with the All-American canal.
The country at large knows of this IA
nous enterprise and travellers already
are visiting the locality in sizeable num-
bers. These same people do not hesitate
to express their objection to the road,
and mistakenly assume it is an example
of California roads This gives the valley
and the state a "black eye Dust may
be necessary on the old road, but bumps
and rutS can and should be eliminated,
especially over the three or four miles
from the site of the former Laguna
dam. Everyone hopes that the county
and especially Ike Schlatter of that dis
trict. will arrange to make the entrance
wav to the damsite a pleasant and invit-
ing one.
