to $1200 a year. The vote j was
28. to 2. Sen.' Wheeler, chairman

month. . 1
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, while

January Auto
Deaths Soar
The January traffic death rate
in Oregon for 1943 has soared up
ward to 11.5 persons killed per
100,000,000 miles of travel, Secre
tary of State Robert S. Farrell, jr.
reported Friday. This reverses the
downward trend of the last three
years.
In 1942, the January death rate
was eight and in 1941 it was 8.8
Farrell said the traffic death rate
is a true indication of the safe
driving and pedestrian practices in
traffic.
"The fact that the death rate for
the first month of this year is up
is proof that we cannot expect re
stricted driving alone to take care
of the traffic accident problem,'
Farrell declared.
Closer observance of the war
time speed restriction of 35 miles
an hour and greater care of ve
hicles and tires was recommended
by Farrell in the interests of hold-
j ing down the accident rate.
