AUTO DRIVERS' EXAMINATIONS
At the close of the first4 year of its ofieiatidn ,the new
Oregon law providing for the examination of auto drivers
stands as an apparent success.
In4 spite of the fact' that the new Oregon motoi- code has
no'definlte speed limit, dui-irtg the past year there have beert'
fewer accidents, fewer fatalities, arid better driving coridi-4
tidns-in this state, and Secretary Hal B. Hosis credits the
exiJtrllhatiori law for at lea.lt u part of these benefits;
Fiirlhermoi'e, in his annual report Mr. IIoss makes this
very definite statement: "Drunken' driving, recklessnfess. un
fit and incompetent drivers, and misunderstandings of .the
traffic laWs have bettl curbed and reduced through the Oper
ation, of tHd law." that alone would make the law an out
standing success.
Some people have been circulating untrue stories about
the4 '.expense arid administration' of the examination system,
arid iii order to'correct them the following official statements
were recently issued: . , ". ;
1. There are not sixty offices maintained over the state
to give operators' examinations. There are two; one in Salem
srid ohd In Portllihd. Five traveling examiners cover the
sixty towns of the state, carrying all1 their4 ecjuiprnerit
them;1 There is no office maintained, no rent paid,; ai)d no
staff, e'rnployed rogiilaiiy in any town exiept Salem' and
PdHlarid. Four local part-time men are used at isolated
points in' .the; Mate:at.?o'sl& bf.'.froro' !?i0 tos-$15 per month.
. ,.2..; Tlie office force at' headquarters consists of one mark
agei'.'oite exaihirter, and seveiclerks.'
8. . The office force at Portland consists of four exanUfi
ers and one clerks -"
4'. The operation of the division does not add one dollar,
to the tax burden of the state.
5. There is no provision in the law for requiring SOOOOO
motorists to be examined. ,
6. The secretary of state lias never said that he wguld
require compulsory exlnminntjioiis of the presetit 400,000
drivers." ;
These facts prove that the now system is being conducted
with the utmost efficiency, enabling the taxpayers of he.
state to get miore for their money than they were getting
Ixrfore.
In our opinion the most important factor of the examina
tivn law which applies to every person seeking a driver's
license is that it prevents any person from lawfully driving
a motor vehicle on the highways until he or she can demon
strate proper skill and knowledge.
That is something which every state should do, Tor giving
an incompetent person the" right to drive art automobile 'in
present day traffic conditions is like giving a child a loaded
gtm to play with ) no one knows just what will happen, but
it' is likely to be disastrous.

Industrial research has shown that the fatigued worker's
output falls orf, quality surfers, and carelessness develops.
Accidents are most numerous shortly before quitting time.
Fatigue is a normal protective mechanism preventing

'The point of complete exhaustion is seldom reached. At a
certain stage the "second wind" develops, mid out' minds,
shutting out disturbing impressions, continue to function at
a high level of efficiency and very economically, so that we
can go along more or less automatically, depleting our
energy reserves slowly.
When the energy output persistently exceeds recuperative
powers a condition of chronic fatigue develops. In this state
people are irritable, resentful, melancholy, dissatisfied, dis
couraged, and may rage or weep over trifles. This again
is the normal protective mechanism against exhaustion. The
chronically tired person is absolutely compelled to rest. If
lilj is wise, he will do so before his efficiency drops and his
recuperative powers are lowered.

Roosevelt said the Texan would
"undoubtedly make speeches In the

, Roosevelt described the Democratic
drive for votes as a "look, listen and
learn campaign." He said "the pri
mary objective of the campaign Is to
talk to the people and find out the
needs pf the sections, although I

A group of Democratic leaders were ;
said to have opposed Speaker Gar-
nor talking In the eastern states. j
Roosevelt waved away a question
as to that with, "Oh, he'll make
speeches In the east undoubtedly."
"I'll keep fairly close liaison with
tho speaker," Roosevelt said. "If the
speaker is going cast and I am going
west, we'll probably meet some
where, and when we return wa will
meet again and talk things over. I'd
say we would meet frequently.
"I am not going off on any cam
paign trip. The primary objective
is td talk to the people and find out

I probably will have to make one or
two speeches in other words a trip
will be Tor me to find out what the
people want, not what I want. It
will be a 'look, listen and learn'

One of the governor's advises ex
plained that Roosevelt would "talk
at many places during his Journeys
but that formal speeches would be
made at only a few places." '

Davis Wilson, state chairman from
Connecticut, asked Garner about his
stand on prohibition. Garner re
plied he had voted against the 18th
amendment on principle and was in
favor of its repeal. . ;
The speaker was asked if at their
weekend conference he and Governor
Roosvelt had agreed on the prohibi
tion question.. ;
"I frankly don't believe we ever
discussed it," he said.
Garner said that In the Democratic
campaign economic affairs and what
he termed Republican mismanage
ment would be stressed.
While he said he and Roosevelt
had not discussed prohibition he
said he believed they were In agree- ,
ment concerning it.
"My position has been all the

my original position, you remember.
