This column lias nothing to do with, the selection of those —- —■ ■" 1 ■ r— Ut 4- ; who are to represent us in the next legislature. That is preem inently the privilege of the ▼oters. What we can do with pleasure i9 to call attention to legislation that lias been found wise in other states. The rapid and widespread use of automobiles has shown the public the necessity of adequate legislation to protect the public as well as the dis creet auto drivers. Legislatures including our own have tinkered at laws concerning automobiles. In the main the^o laws are honored in the breach more than the observance. More people are killed each yearAn this state by automobiles than by railroacfs. Aged and infirm persons including those whose hearing is defective are apt to •d>e the innocent victims of reck less driving. Ladies and children have as much right to cross streets as machines, but great care is needed to avoid an accident. On one hand the speed limit prescribed in some , towns is so low that the batteries Ouf white illiteracy of today is due to a Jack of proper facilites for schools in, the past. The insane should have every attention that- will provide for their unforunate heeds. The hrilf witted' constitute a 'real menace to the state. Many of them are a constant expense and drain upon families hardly able to carry them. We used to know something of the value of a slave to hi9 owners. We however lose annually millions of dollars from preventive diseases. These and many other needed reforms require money. Because the man who get9 something for nothing gener ally pay for more than he gets. The legislature should take a comprehensive view of taxes, see that each mad. bears' his proper share of equalized taxes, and then levy enough to do what is needed. Police or pence officers should be entirely removed from politics. Since they are paid with public funds no other than the public should have 1 anv claim on their time or services. Far seeing men know that when some of the men have returned from the theatre of war that one of our greatest ueetLs will be the preven tion of crime.' Mob violence will not secure this. We will then confront entirely new conditions of public order, and old methods will be outworn. The pioneers in this respect Canadian No advance is gained by try- the feet of this person 'or Chat The wise filing is to secure the coalyThe matter is furthef com plicated because, many houses are fitted only for grates. The labor situation is so crampet that many who have wood on their places can’t get it cut anc hauled ; while tho-^e who have wood will be 'entirely at the mercy of wood profiteers, ex cept when they are suffering for fuel. —„ -.

It would be a mis take to suppose that they are all wrong and the - -countr will go to the dogs unless^tfe have a chance to tinker . ,r ith the existing laws.

Other spates Next Wintet^ Fuel, have readied the conclusion /that the kev of the situation s \ 4 . i I i ft f lies in the licensing of “'the driver. These licenses are granted by proper boards located conveniently in the state These licenses boards test an applicants knowledge of his car. They ride witlHirm-fe- test his knowledge of traffic 4aw-i and conditions They satisfy themselves That lie has the proper sense of the high- ■ way right of pedestrians and m other autoittobilists. 11is licence is valid., for one year, and will bs revoked upbn a proper showing that lie lias violated the rules of the road,K is well recognized that childreip are more apt to bp mixed up in ac cidents than grown ..peopled Consequently no license is granted to anyone who is under sixteen years. The etfectof this -legislation is that men will be careful rather than have their license suspended or be with out -the' use of their cAr. All other lines of legbtation have been found worthless. No candidate fur office can appear before the voters and be silent on takes! We- have looked at taxes from the wrong end.

This-i<^pnj^kularly~ true of the fuel situation.“We.folks in - this part of tne South are ble-sed with good winter climate, but even tvitli* that we muss have fuel. C ' Last winter we were warned to use as much wood as possible to sjpive coal. The idle Mondays de creed by the fuel administra tion were used*by many'^to cut and haul wood for domestic pur poses. This hardly met the emer gency. We are also warned to otdeV our coming winter’s sup ply of coal as e'arly as possible. This we havejdoiie by securing the necessary blanks as soon as they were in the hands of the county fuel administrator. These have been iii the hands of the local coal dealers for some time. These dealers report that they have been told by -ihe mines,from which they deal that they have sold up to their, limit. The state administrator say- that perhaps a ear may he found at tin* mines. But tlie ueal situ ation-is that the consumer who has done Ins best to esecure his fuel for next winter see,s no pros. peCt ofYelieJ 1 . _3it-Soine' rowns a Mr. A. M.
