THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON KUWliAY MUKNINU, MAY IB.. 19?H ! i r v II i. I The Reckless Driver -(From A. D. T v Swho cuts corners who dodges around on the wrons side of I jjJrolle? cars, who -rushes' headlong into a traffic jam and I I then rasps on his brakes; wha breaks every law and statue, " if he thinks he can tret away with it. - ,,t- - Not a very engaging cuss, is this reckless driver person, and you and I pay for his exploits in the general tendency to soak the motorist who is unlucky enough to be token to court.: We pay for his. charming little picadiUos also every time we write a check for the premium on an 'automobile insurance policy," because his frolicsome antics make it costly for he1 companies to insure motorists and motor cars.- mjll of which leads up to the pleasant announcement that the National Bureau of Casualty , and Surety Underwriters has just announced that it will hereafter refuse insurance to drivers whose - licenses . have, previously, been revoked. To h make this fully effective and general public, revocation of licenses in cases where criminal carelessness has been proved, should' be permanent. The reckless driver has no place on the road. He is the enemy of every decent driver and car owner, j He causes trouble of all sorts for which we have partly; to pay.; If the 97 per cfent of motorists who are .law-abiding and careful would unite in war on this reckless pest who causes all the trouble, we should soon drive him of f the roads and into the " I .Jails, where he belongs.- irntU J.

Thus IS places are kept open 12 hours each, giving the. voters of the city of Salem wtiat is equival ent to 216 single hours, to elect the city officers,- that voters may be put to as little trouble as can be. go any time of day and walk short distances to reach the polls. That is for the city. ; Now, what about school district No: 24? , With one, only, one precinct vot ing place kept open from 2to 7 p. m., onl five hours, or one-fifth of 216, giving the school district only one-forty-third of the, time allotted the city voters, and the voting place In the extreme west of the business district, about one and a half i blocks from the Wil lamette river. l-gggljJ Consider what a contrast there is in. the care for city of Salem titers for their officers and the voters at school district No. 24 bond election.- ' ' .

' . Now, how about the possibility of voting? t After all these deductions, with 6666 legal qualified voters, what chance have all these to cast their ballot? .

What can be expected when it ia made ao difficult to reach the poll ing place, and if once there, how could- a majority of the qualified voters cast their ballot; hn with only 18 Si voting in such a jam as on March 29th-- Has it not - been the same for years IS voting precincts for tho city, each open 12 hours; and only one place,; and that open but fire hours for district No 24 to vote bond? It was thus in March, 1923, when' a half million bond issue was asged and granted. Was it net so at the March 29, 1326 bond election for $40,000? How was it in the April 12, 1926. bond call for 1 1 2 0.0 0 0 ? ; How is it. at the coming election of May 19? Several peopled when spoken to about this 'feature of It. an swered: "It is' matter of econ omy." Isn't 1 that really funny? Do any of the citizeps of the city, or the school district, personally pay these election expenses? Some person or people' must be careless to call so many elections in so short a time. Apd then, too, is it right to so order, pt not to order, sufficient polling places for all the people to cast a ballot.' ' Such peo ple, those' who really do so can hardly be considered, especially warm friends of f our president, who has and ts still strenuously urging his people to register and cast a ballot. ' J. J.
