accepted it until we have built up an attitude which we
recognize as amazing on the few occasions when we really
top to analyze it.
It is heartening to observe that Senate Bill No. 1 in the
. Current legislative session is the bill designed to correct Ore-
ron's traffic law to the end that its 822 traffic victims In the
. first 11 months of 1940 will not be joined bv an eoual nam

"
It was then that the eyes now
closed In death seemed to emit
sparks of fire, and the now para-
people act as though it were not.
Already there is evidence of objection that this bill is too
drastic, based in part upon misunderstanding by persons
Who have not read it. It should be understood that the basic

cities, 20 in business districts and 15 past schools, are sub

Objection is just another evidence of the amazing attitude,
the callousness with which the public views the motor vehicle

Yet this callousness does exist and cannot be I on o red.
Speed limits outlined In the bill would, if generally observed,
top the killing. And that would be worthwhile; worth much
more than the time lost m observing them.
But setting speed limits which vary too much from the
