"'You will find that the new driv ers': license law Is one of the most "important features In your motor vehicle statute In curbing: reckless drivers," declared state Senator F. L. .Eksward of California Tuesday, on his return from Salem. "It gives the police and state power to eliminate the Irresponsible driver. Un der the old law, the state could revoke Jibe license on a machine, but the driver "could immediately get In another car and continue on bis reckless way. "The law will .materially reduce the number of automobile accidents. From '") observation and reading I find that 85 . per cent of the accidents are caused by reckless or drunken drivers, and It seems v Impossible to get juries to con vict Now the driver's license can be revoked, which Is a severe penalty to the average motorist. ."The California licensing law is work- - ing out beautifully. It has been in force three or four years. Quite a num- ber of licenses have been revoked and .' accidents have been reduced." ' Senator Eksward. father of the Cali fornia motor vehicle law, came to Ore- gon to aid In passage of the new statute. He was in Salem during the entire special session and appeared before the - house committee that reported on the drivers' licensing law. He Is a member V of the national safety council and has spent several years studying automobile - legislation. He' expects to go into the state of Washington in support of such a law at the next legislative session. Senator Eksward will be in Portland ; several days before returning to his home In Burlingame, Cal. McNary Introduces Reclamation Bonding Bill Into the Senate pcraiiAN Washington. Jan. 11.

Washington. Jan. , 21. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) Discussion of compromise on the peace treaty between a group of four Republican senators, headed by Lodge, and five Democrats, head ed by Hitchcock, while it will be re sumed today is apparently close to disruption. N This opinion has grown from the stand Lodge has taken In refusing concessions on what he called minor points of dif ference, leaving aside Article X, which was postponed until the last Mild reservation , Republicans were today engaged in quiet consideration of their next step. Open revolt of mild reservatloniats by combination with Democratic friends of the treaty to bring it up once more on the floor of the senate for such reservations as may be voted by a majority is said to be fa vored In preference to forcing Under wood's resolution for appointment of a conciliation committee of 10. ! Underwood stated he had no objec tion to trying this plan and will with hold his resolution until this is dona. Also he will, wait until present negoti ations nave reacnea a aeiimie aeaaioca, which is generally forecasted. Besides Article X there Is reported to be disagreement on the voting strength of the league in assembly, on the ques tion of authorising withdrawal from the league by Joint or concurrent resolu tion of congress, and on what are termed administrative reservations, concerning selection and Instruction of American representatives in the league. Back of all these looms Article X, reservations on which Lodge has shown no disposi tion to modify.

Dame Rumor persists in circu lating stories around the capitol to the effect that the Justice plans to resign from the bench to enter the race as a candidate for the United States senate.
