Payne why he had been fined 115 for speeding past a schoolhouse during hours when children were hurrying toward thestreet. "The fact that you have never been arrested before," said Judge Rossman, "does not necessarily mean that you have never violated the ordinance until this time Another thing the fact that you did not run Into any one thla time does not signify that you might not do so were I to turn you loose without punishment this time. "This court inflicts very light fines for offenses against ths trafflo laws. Were a Federal Court charged with the enforcement of thla law, viola tions would oease almost Instantly. Fines would be so high that people would Immediately realise that It Is a serious thing to offend against the law In this respect. "In case of other violations, suoh as the prohibition law, where I levy a fine of $50, the Federal Courts have assessed as high aa f 300 and the result is, there are very few violations against Federal laws In this regard. I think you are playing the baby act' to com plain against a small fine like $15 for your offense. There were few offenders before the court yesterday morning. Indicating a decrease In violations, as the motor cycle squad members were out in all directions the previous day. Cases were disposed of as follows: William Foster, $2.50; W. C.
