Municipal Research Bureau
Requests Legislation for
More Efficient Speed Laws
By DOROTHY KREIS
Should the cities of Oregon have a definite speed limit ? Under
the present system, there is no real speed limit, and cities have no
right to enact speed laws, according to Herman Kehrli, of the Bureau
of Municipal Research.
Oregon cities arc realizing more and more the difficulty of prosecut
ing speeders under the existing rule, Mr. Kehrii says, and are beginning

| to ask the state legislature to help
i them out with new laws for en
forcement.
The basic rule reads, “No per
son shall drive a vehicle upon a
highway at a speed greater than
is reasonable and prudent, having
clue regard to the traffic, surface
and width of the highway, and the
hazard at intersections and any
other conditions then existing.”
Proof Difficult
Although indicated speeds are
15 miles an hour passing schools,
25 miles through residence dis
tricts and 45 miles as the maxi
mum speed limit, he pointed out
that it is difficult to prove that a
person has exceeded a “reasonable
and prudent” speed limit.
Mr. Kehrli explained that these
laws were made because, when
given the power to set speed limits,
certain cities set “speed traps” and
collected undue revenue by means
of insignificant offenses.
Analyzing reports on the number
of traffic deaths taken from the
magazine, “Public Safety,” Alex
ander G. Brown, deputy city attor
ney of Portland found that “speed,
the speed of the modern motor car,
is largely responsible for the in
creasing death list.”
Results Too Tragic
In his radio address on “Muni
cipal Traffic Control,” Mr. Brown
drew this conclusion:
Tne results are too tragic for
this degree of individualism to !
continue.”
Mr. Brown believes that cam
paigns to reduce traffic accidents
are of great value and should be
conducted so consistently that they
would cease to become campaigns.
However, he says that they cannot
take the place of good traffic laws.
Mr. Brown said that this prob
lem was presented to a committee
at the last session of the legis
lature but action was not begun'
soon enough to pass any remedial
legislation.
Mrs. Beck Appointed
To Board Committee
Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck, head
of the public school music depart
ment in the University school of
music, has been appointed a mem
ber of a general supervisory com
mittee for the state department of

Strong Position
Held bg Labor,
Sags Mediator
Mutual Concession,
Discussion Achieve
Best Results
Organized labor on the west
coast is in a relatively strong po
sition, especially in the service
trades, according to Ernest P.
Marsh of the United States de
partment of labor conciliation ser
vice who addressed a convocation
of University law students yester
day at, the invitation of Dean
Wayne L. Morse.
Marsh is particularly qualified
to describe the position of western
labor, as he has been for the past
21 years in the position of media
tor between workers and employ
ers from Washington to Southern
California.
Conciliation Successful
The conciliation service has
found that settlements reached by
the parties involved in the dispute
by mutual concession and discus
sion are more lasting and of great
er ultimate benefit than those im
posed upon them from the out
side.
The government should step into
labor disputes only when the best
interests or the actual peace of a
community is threatened, Marsh
believes.
He pointed out that the best
work is done by the diplomatic
method of the conciliation service,
when discussion is promoted be
tween the factions and tension re
lieved that might result in ill-ad
vised action.
ASUO to Stage
(Continued from page one)
Latest arrangements for the
Paramount theater rally Friday
night include a rally outside the
theater from 10 to 10:30, a stage
show based on the “musical know
ledge” type of contest, a broadcast
from inside the theater, and a fea
ture film. Part of the outdoor
rally will also be broadcast.
A distinguishing feature about
this theater party is that it will not
be a joint affair. Only Webfoot
rooters will take part, with the
Staters having their own celebra
tion elsewhere.
No Dancing at Theater
Countermanding its earlier an
nouncement. the rally committee
announced there would be no danc
ing in the Paramount Friday night,
because the Paramount has no
arrangements whereby dancing can
go on while the picture is being
shown.
Following Saturday's game the
headline event will be the first an
nual Beaver-Duck mix at Jantzen
Beach to the music of Bart Wood
yard's orchestra, with Oregon and
Oregon State rally committees in
joint charge.
Feature of the Saturday night
dance is the introduction of a sur
prise girl vocalist, not to be an
nounced until the beginning of the
dance, at 9 o’clock.
Halftime at the game Saturday
will see no Webfoot intermission
stunt, due to the fact that the
game is technically a home game
for the Beavers, who will be in
charge.
Scott Corbett, chairman of the
rally committee, was still confined
to a sickbed yesterday.
Tickets for the theater parly
will be on sale today from 8 to 3
o’clock at to cents. The Jantzen
Beach Bcavcr-Duck mix will be a
$1 affair.

IUO Professors Write
Books on History
University professors have done their share toward the development
of the scientific history of Oregon according to Dr. H. D. Sheldon,
professor of history and education, who yesterday compiled a list of
their historical contributions.
Professor F. G. Young, who came here in 1885 was the first to
; publish source material for Oregon history. In 1899 he founded the
Oregon Historical Quarterly and
edited the first 31 volumes. Dr.
R. C. Clark, history department
head, is now editor of the quar
terly.
Dr. Joseph Schafer succeeded Dr.
Young as head of the department.
He was the author of two books,
the most popular being “History of
' the Pacific Northwest.”
When he left for Wisconsin in
1920. Dr. R. C. Clark stepped ifito
his place. Dr. Clark has written
the “History of Willamette Valley”
and has collaborated with two of
his students on a text book for
use in elementary schools. Two
years ago Dr. Clark and Dr. Burt
Brown Barker, University vice
president, spent several months in
Europe collecting material on the
early settlement of Oregon from
the archives of the Hudson Bay
company.
Professor Alfred Lomax, now ex
change professor at Honolulu, con
tributed a large number of articles
on the history of manufacturing in
Oregon.
Professor George Turnbull of
the journalism department has
been working on the history of the
Oregon newspapers.
In 1929 Dr. Sheldon completed
a bibliography which was published
by University students.
