Don't Sell Gas to Drunks
Plea of Safety Chief.

An appeal to all gasoline station en-
ployeeS throughout the entire state Of
Minnesota to refuse to sell gasoline to
drivers who are unnistakably intoxi-
Gated was made today by W. F. Rosen-
Wald, traffic engineer of the state
highway department.
THE cooperation of filling station
workers and owners has been solicited
by safety groups and automobile clubs
in other parts of the country and hun
dreds of oil station companies have
pledged to withhold gasoline from
drivers who are visibly drunk" the state
safety chief said. II urge oil stations
in Minnesota to join in such a drive.
Automobile clubs and the chambers of
commerce Of the various towns could do
a fine turn for motoring safety by re-
queSting the gasoline trade in their
communities to aid in this move to
keep potential killers off the highway"
II do not favor unofficial informerS
generally" Mr.. RoSenwald said, but it
would seem to me to be fair thing if
oil station employees, or any private
citizen, would also report drunken
drivers to the police when their con-
dition makes them a menace to life and
limb on our streets or highways"

to bring their children to see"
He questioned why some of the money
paid in deer hunting licenses last year
could not be spent by the conservation
department to buy hay for allegedly
starving deer in the state rather than
permit hunters to butcher the animals
Mr.. Kaupanger spoke to the Virginia
Chamber of conservation and his re-
marks on game conservation was
wedged into plea for conservation of
water, timber and iron ore. He charged
that politics had rendered ineffective
the work of the state conservation de-
partment.
Minnesota will cease to be an iron
producing state in the not too distant
future if the present system of taxation
is maintained" he said. Under the
present system the mining companies
are forced to remove the high grade ore
as quickly as possible. The state needs
tax system based on the mineral con-
tent that will encourage rather than
discourage the mining of the vast
quantities of low grade ORE" he said.
What the outcome of the legal action
against the governor will be is hard to
tell at this early date. The deer season
will open on November 20 and close
! November 25, according to the pro-
clamation issued last week. In the
meantime the subject is open for dis
cuSSion.

Will RECORD
ROAD MlSHAPS
New Set-up for Recording All
Traffic Accidents is Ready
To Function.

The set-up for officially recording all
traffic accidents in the state in which
personal injury or property damage ex-
ceeding $50 is suffered is ready to
function, according to N. w. Elsberg,
state highway commissioner.
The commissioner is charged under
the new uniform traffic code with the
duty of both zoning the highways and
directing the state traffic accident re-
porting agency.
The new agency has been developed so
as to permit safety officers to find, in
few minutes, the number of accidents
in which a driver has been involved and
also to determine the accident count at
any spot on the state trunk highway
system and in the cities. The present
filing system is built on the cross
check" basis and exposes at once sac
cident prone locations" and accident
prone drivers"
The form to be filled by parties to an
accident is ready for immediate dis
tribution. It is available to peace Of
fiecrS and drivers anywhere in the state.
Under the new law, driver involved
in an accident is required to report in
writing to the safety division of the
State Highway Department, st. Paul
within "a hours, or as soon as injuries
will permit. Failure to comply is
punishable by fine not to exceed 500
or 80 days in Jail. The agency has a
system whereby it learns whether ac-
cidentS are reported or not.
When an accident victims report is
received by the safety division, an Off
cial accident report blank asking speci-
fic details will be dispatched to the
party by next mail.
When the report is returned, location
of the accident will be marked on a
huge spot" map and the drivers IL
cense record will be marked with the
time and place Of the accident. This
will early point out dangerous spots on
thoroughfareS as well as dangerou;
drivers and dangerous cars The pur-
pose of the new set-up is to uncover al
three so that immediate steps can be
taken TO remove road hazards and elm
mate incapable drivers and unsafe auto
mobiles.
In the decent interst of safety" said
w. F. Rosenwald, state traffic engineer
in charge of the safety division, ''every
driver should speedily cooperate with
the state highway department in re.
porting an accident. We will be forced
by law to take stringent steps if thi:
IS not done. The purpose of this re.
quirement is to protect you and your
family against horrible injury or deatf
on the street and highway. In, the enc
it will mean safer travel for us ALL"
