Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THERE were 32,500 fatal automo bile accidents In the United Stales In 1930, as you know if you read this newspaper carefully. That Is too many . THIRTY-TWO thousand five hun dred deaths from automobile ac cidents in one year are loo many, because CARELESSNESS was a factor In far too many cases. Every death due to somebody's careless ness could have been prevented. It is the deaths that could have been prevented that are always peculiarly tragic. PERHAPS, If you read these fig ures in this newspaper care fully, you noted that the states having laws requiring examination of drivers before licenses are granted had the best records. Here in Oregon, we require no examination hefore granting a driver's license. That Is some thing that ought to ho fixed. This (fission of the legislature would he r. good time to fix II. (F you are wise, you do not per mit your son to handle firearms until he has demonstrated his jbllity to be careful. If the state of Oregon is wise, H will cease to permit Its citizens )o handle automobiles, which un let' certain circumslances are fully is dangerous as firearms, until they have demonstrated their abil ity to be careful. IF you are a Utile old-fashioned, and Inclined to he strong on per sonal right, you will snort and say: "More Interference with the per sonal liberties of the individual." rossihly. Hut what about the rights and liberties of the Indivi dual who is killed by the careless or incompetent automobile driver? lANKINO conditions In Douglas L county at the end of 1930 and the beginning of 1931 are wholly j satisfactory more so than for many years; In fact. So reports J. H. Booth, president of the Douglas National bank. THAT is good news. When hank im; cnndi'ons nr satisfac tory, it means that general busi ness conditions are sound, and that ihe community hasn't much to fear for thje future. MR. BOOTH tells us that dur ing the past year, in spite of the depression which has furnished such a general topic of conversa tion, there has been much liquida tion of indebtedness in this com munity. That is an especially good sign. It is by Ihis process of liquida tion that we return to good times after bad times. IN good times, we get a little too enthusiastic. Everything looks rosy, and we are tempted to go a little loo far in our personal ex penditures and in the expansion of our business. Because of this mal adjustment, a cog Blips somewhere in the machinery, and the result 1b what we call a depression. During the process of depression, we tighten up our belts, work a little harder, save a little more carefully, manage our affairs more shrewdly and PAY OUR OLD DEBTS Instead of making new ones. After this has gone on for a suf ficient length of time, the balance is restored and the first thing we know good times are -with its again. SMART people are dninc a lot n' Rtndyintr in these davs on the subject of preventing denressions. but fry far not much In the way of tnneible results has come out of their study. Perhaps nothing EVER WILL come out of their study. It may be that recurring depressions are something that can't be prevented.
