Is it not about lime the citi
zen. and lawmakers bf Oregon
were waking up to the"fact that
homethng must be done to keep
drivers of automobiles, trucks anl
other vehicles used by the travel
ing public from killing or injur
ing themselves at railroad cross
ings? "Employes of railroads and
street cars are taught and trained
in the importance of complying
with the law. It requires time,
labor and expense to stop trains
end street cars at railroad cross
ings, out the taw lens us we
must stop. unWs protected. Why?
To avoid accidents. Then why
not a law rompcllinx thus above
referred to: to top before cross
ing railroad crossings, unless pro
tect el? This would reduce acci
dents 95 per cent. Is it not worth
it? .,.-.. - ;
"Is it not just as important and
necessary to protect and keep the
traveling public, other by trains
and Ft reel cars, from getting
killed or injured, as those travel
ing by train or street car?
"My dear governor, we think
you a very progressive man and
we believe if you would only ride
on the head end of some of the
trains and see and come in con
tact with those who take chances
on getting across ahead of a mov
ing train, and what the. engine
men have to contend ?vith. you
would throw up both hands' and
say something must be done.
- "To make Oregon a safe place
to travel, -as well as for human
ity's sake, we.- the Southern Pa
cific engineers ou lines In Ore
gon, are appealing to you with
the Tiew of starting the ball to
roiling until something h.is been
done to keep : people from get
ting killed or injured.' Better a
stop than the undertaker's call."
