UNKINDLY LIGHTS

Since SO many of the States fatal accidents occur
after dark, the Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
will set up on many roads placards asking drivers
to dim their headlights. Idea, of course is to pre-
vent binding of approaching motorists thus eiminat
ing hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians
Unfortunately, this plea, like that for careful
driving made by the committee, cannot be enforced
by any law. Regulations by the million could be
passed, but it would still be up to the individual
every time he approached another And no mat
ter what the penalty for failure to do so, many
motorist simply wouldn't be bothered.
About the only means of improving the situation
available is the yearly inspection system of the
Motor Vehicles Commission At the various inspection
stations headlights, among other things, supposed
focus. However too frequently cars that have
Just been inspected with their headlights aimed in
y the general direction of the moon Va
~ 1t seems TO US, that general check-up, not only
of lights but of all parts now inspected, should be
made at least twice year. Further the State itself
should operate inspection stations to insure strict
observation of the laws. While system of check
ups at privately owned garages has done WELL it nat
uraly cannot compare in results obtained by states
which maintain their own stations. And after all,
the only object of any sort of inspection is to pro-
mote safety, so why not go all the way while we
are about it?
While patting ourselves on the backs for this
demonstration drawing of comparisons is in order.
How, for example, would such proposal have Jared
in Germany? If minority group such as backed
the plan here, had even tried to organize Gestapo
machine guns swiftly would have hqudated both the
idea and its hackers Had some of Htler's advisors
say the intellectual giants who told him that Brit
ain and France would never fight suggested the
measure, it would have been law before the German
public could learn anything about it. Had any tax
payers, who even under the efficient" Naz govern
ment pay the freight, objected, they would have
landed in a concentration camp. Thus all i'm
portant German issues decided today.
Similar pictures could be drawn of the wheels

of the democratic of Europe's nations. Such

A NEEDED VICTORY

Out of the hardships endured by great many
Cafornians for the past several years born sup
port for the socalled "ham-andeggs proposition. AS
the idea gained momentum, college professor and
Dust Bowlemigrant alike fell for the thirty dollars
every Thursday idea. Smooth talk and the deft Jug
Cling of figures concealed from many that the plan
would benefit few but prove disastrous to the State
as a whole
Yet the people of California twice defeated it at
the polls last week by tremendous majority. Fears
that the mass of voters would be gulGble enough to
accept the plan proved unfounded. It was decisive
victory for the democratic theory of government
opposed to those "superefficient twins of Europe,
Communism and Nazi-Fascism
It was much needed victory Louder and louder
have become the charges against our system by the
the totalitarans. Any idiotc scheme, they claimed,
could be foisted upon democratic government be-
cause the mass Of voters too ignorant to under
stand important measures. While by no means ac-
cepting any foreign theology as better than democ
racy many intelligent Americans began to think
there was truth in these charges when "ham-and-
eggs" again was put to vote and similar plan
was suggested in conservative Ohio. Votes in both
states, however, proved concusivey that the power
of the of voters best safeguard against
destructive legislation.
