Author Says Jury
Needed In Many
Traffic Cases

julius Long, Bellefontaine attor-
ney, former judge and president of
his county bar association, writing
in national magazine, has focused
a light on an aspect of the Ohio
State Highway Patrol that has re-
ceived no little attention.
In his article, Mr.. Long points
out that under the present system,
the patrolman not only catches
you, but in effect, judges you in the
bargain. He points out that traffic
cases are heard in justice-of-the-
peace courts, mayors courts, mu-
nicipal courts and common pleas
courts, the latter hearing only the
graver offenses. This system al
lows the patrolman to pick his
judge pretty carefully, and TO Sc
lect those which he knows are
most apt to be sympathetic to the
states line # reasoning.
Mr.. Long says that when he and
three other attorneys publicly de-
nounced the abuses of the Ohio
highway patrol by seeking the ap-
pointment of q bar-aSsociation
committee to investigate them,
they were heckled on all sides by
queries such as: do you want to
see reckless and drunken drivers
on our highways 2" He answers:
mo, don't want to see reckless &
drunken drivers on our highways
but | don't want to see the civil
Liberties of the drivers on our high
ways violated, either" The present
system does just that, he says.
Using statistics from 1951-1952,
Mr.. Long shows that while traffic
arrests jumped from 26,000 to So
600, the accident rate increased
and more people were killed in
traffic accidents. The patrol points
to decline in injury accidents, and
claims actual progress by claiming
an approximate 25 percent increase
in traffic. Not so. says Long, and
backs his statement with statistics
from the Standard Oil Co., show.
ing about 5 percent increase.
AT the time OF writing. the Ohio
State Highway Patrol is congratu.
lating itself for II percent de.
crease in traffic fatalities for the
first seven months of 1854 as
against the same period of 1858
There is no mention of the fact
that 1853 was banner year with
fatality crop of 2047 in the state
of Ohio. Nor is there any mention
of any other cause that might have
contributed to the decrease thar
the increase in patrol personnel tc
which the department attribute:
full credit" Long said.
Mr.. Long points out that the
state highway department might
credit its construction program, the
auto manufacturers might credi
Improvements in their products
but, says Mr.. Long, "the patro
blandly credits the decrease to tn;
employment of thirty-two more
cops"
The mandatory three-day jai
sentence comes in for criticism il
the article, too. "Rule-of-thumb ap
plication of the driving-under-the
influence law is not cure for th
drunken driver any more thar
rule-of-thumb application o
law is for any problem. The judg
who boasts that he treats every
body alike is excusing the fact tha
he is either incapable of or to-
lazy to use discretion on tn
bench" says Long.

ties under 1000 population. In

candidates in municipalities of
this size and in Madison County
no Primary is held All candidates
are designated as independent
candidates and must file with the
Board of Elections not later than

city of LONDON must file with

Sen. Hoey Discloses
Adjournment Plans
Continued from first page)

1.-THE joint legislative finance
committee met on Monday morning,
July IL, 1855, for the purpose of
hearing DR.. Herbst and DR.. Rowe.
After hearing their arguments on
the question of the contingency bill,
the finance committee has decided
on the following:
"The General Assembly has been
subjected to serious criticism for
cutting the educational funds in the
contingency bill (co-sponsored' by
Reps. Leon E. Donovan of Harring-
ton and Paul E. Shockley of Will
mingtOn) to provide for 200 addi-
tional teachers, rather than the 1862
teachers which the Board of Educa-
tion estimates necessary to main
tain the established ratio of teach
ers to pupils.
There is no doubt in our minds
but that 362 new teachers are
needed in this state. There is con-
siderable doubt in our minds that
this number, or even half this num-
Der of new teachers, can be recruit
ed from without the state.
Furthermore, we have been ap-
prised of no plans to provide addi-
tional classroom facilities for this
number of teachers during the next
two years. After all, we cannot
have two teachers teaching in the
same classroom at the same time.
Public Assured
"This Legislature, which has
proved by its actions that it has a
deep interest in education, has no
intention of hurting the educational
opportunities of our children. Since
we are not going to adjourn sine die
for at least six months, we take
this opportunity solemnly to assure
the public that if we are proved
wrong, we will make the necessary
additional appropriations when such
action appears to be necessary"
The disclosure that final adjourn
ment is at least six months away
does not affect the temporary close
for 10 days, scheduled to start Fri
day
The reason behind talk of placing
the sanatorium under the jurisdic-
ton of the State Hospital Board is
the great spread, according to one
senator, between the per diem costs
of operating the two institutions.
1t will be recalled that the Del
aware Colony at Stockley, former

of the Farnhurst trustees and the
