We'd far rather have a man leave his speed at home or leave the extra ton nage of r his truck, than to catch him arter he's, broken, the laws and maybe somebody's neck, and then punish him for his acts.

I The department , la going a'ter the truck overloaders with blood In Its eye. The last legislature passed a law limiting the speed of trucks according to; their tonnage and tire equipment.

A 3H-ton truck loaded, made tha run from i-iah Francisco., to Xos Angeles had- back early last year. almost 1000 mllea at an average pfeed of more than 25 mHea.

He sure was a going fool and I guess he's going yet." ; . The police and peace officers all over the state are taking most kindly to tha enforcement of the traffic laws, according to Mr. Salts man. A year ago, the traffic laws were ljttle noticed. They were not much .understood, and were generally Ignored or even deflea. But today, the driving public is being educated by th iui mUa. to that there are not nearly, as many flagrant violation, a. t perly. Chief' Motmt, ot Salem, THE OREGON STATESMAN. addS'hts testimony to the tate of ficer's, that the public is fast be coming educated and amenable to the traffic laws, and that safety in travel Is in easy sight. I.lrenftc Taken Away There is nothing that will stop ignorant driving; though the tak ing away of driving licenses is having a powerful effect on the ignorant and careless chauffeur. Over in one of the eastern Oregon towns, a short time ago, a big Haynes car, driven by a woman, came 'plunging down the street, miraculously missing another car at a street intersection, but driv ing full tilt into a store building as the driver set foot on the accel erator Instad of on the brake. It drove through the wall, hit a 600 pound steel range and knocked it nine feet across the room. The traffic officers took away the driver's license and the echoes of the wail over that loat'license have not even yet died away- in that part of the state. But the re vocation of driving licenses is be lieved to be one of the most ef fective ways of curbing foolishness and instilling skill, for one to drive a car after the revocation of one's license, might subject the offender to a fine up to $400 and a year's imprisonment. j Heavy Fines Imposed One fine of $150 was imposed for speeding, and another of $100; they don't usually get that much. but sometimes the judge finds the conditions so flagrant that he soaks 'em the limit. A $150 fine ought to give almost any man pause especially as another oi fenge might mean the revocation of his license. The traffic officers found one locality in the state where many high-powered trucks are used, for lumbering. Owners had failed to take out truck licenses, on the ground that they were operating only 'on their own forest grounds.1 and not using the public highways to make them licenseable. The traffic officer got the county as sessor, and they swooped down on the trucksters with the two-horned dilemma: Either take out licenses to the state, or pay taxes as prop erty to the county. The public got the truck money, in one way or another; but the truck owners haven't yet figured out whether to be glad as citizens or mad as losers in a clever game. Most Protect Roads "The Oregon roads are for everybody to use, to enjoy; but there are too many people using them, and they cost too much money, for a few to misuse them and make them unsafe for the others. We're trying to muke the Oregon roads the best in the United States, and we're asking the public, to help with these, their own roads." S. O. S. call for everybody to help!

There appeared reason to believe that the Japanese states men would reach a decision favor able to a discussion of questions arising out of the Orient, with reservations. Hughes Meets Ambassador. The informal' conferences be tween Secretary Hughes and Am bassador Shidehara are known to have gone far towards convincing the administration that the Jap anese government will agree to enter the conference without ma terial reservations and that the general questions at Issue will be approacheed frankly and freely. Insistent suggestions that Bel gium should be given a seat at the conference have not served to alter the opinion of the United 8tates government that the dis cussion should be limited to he principal allied and associated powers.

July 22. The j Japanese exclusion . question j broke out in congress again toilaj . ; Informed that Hawaii was being) flooded with Japanese, the house! immigration committee asked the, state department to turnish tie- ' tails of the "gentlemen's agree-; ment" of 1908. with respect to; Japanese control of immigration to the United State3. Diplomatic correspondence leading to the understanding, which the committee was told does not apply to Hawaii, never has been made public, and the committee decided to investigate. i McOatdiy Enters Figlu Despite contentions ot some members that discussion of the matter at this time might impede plans for international conference on disarmament and Pacific ques tions, the committee decided to go into the 13-year-old immigra tion arrangement after it had heard J. V. A. McMurray. chief of the division of Far Kastern af fairs of the state department and had received a telegram from V. S. McClatchy, Sacramento pub l'sber, dealing with the general subject of Japanese immigration. Mr. McMurray told the commit ted' that Japan had never regard ed 1 the agreement as applying to Hawaii and added incidentally that inasmuch as it was a volun tary proposition from Japan, this country was diplomatically bound until the other party to the agreement should wthdraw. Regulation Claimed His statfment concerning Ha waii brought from Chairman Johnson the exclamation that the time had arrived for a declara tion that "Hawaii is a part of the United States with respect to aJ pah and all others." - Mr. McMurry said that the Jap anese government had regulated the number of laborers to whom passports to Hawaii were issued through an informal arrange ment worked out with the sugar planters of the islands by the Japanese consular offices, who were informed each season of the number required. Mr. Johnson interrupted to say that he under stood the number allowed to go to Hawaii tach year waa really below the requirements, a position taken by Japan In order to pre vent a break in wages. Statement Ienied The statement concerning the agreement between the employers and the Japanese governmnt was immdiately denied by Royal D. Mead, special labor agent ot the planters' organization. From tnai point, everj "- of the exclusion quesUon was touched on in some form or other and members of the committee freely expressed dissatisfaction with loopholes which they said apparently vere left in the agree rr . , v. yr fo ment, iney aeuuuuccu .uc tice of permitting "picture brides to enter this country, which prac tice continued, said Chairman Johnson despite the oipionmi". understanding. Answers Are Guarded Because of the delicacy of the subject, Mr. McMurray answered most questions guardedly and some were not answered at all. It was said if the correspondence is forthcoming, it would be gone ln tq behind closed doors. Mr. John son was not at all certain that the diplomatic exchanges would be supplied hy the department and ho planned to confer on that phase with Secretary Hughes and other department heads. He aid. however, that he saw no rea son why the documents should not be mad?? available to congress auu deplored the fact that talf a doz en or more such understandings as that entered into with Japan had not required ratification by the senate. i Mr McClatchy's telegram which was read prior to Mr. McMurray's statement warned of Impending racial, political and economic con trol by the Japanese In the islands unless the American government acted immediately.
