There may be something in this, but it is doubt ful if there is very much. It Is not always the inex perienced driver who causes the accidents—it is often the careless, booze-soaked speed maniac or possibly the irresponsible youth who is trying to show how smart lie is by spectacular driving. There are many accidents in which families out for a Sunday drive figure because probably 90 per cent of the Sunday traffic consists of this type of driver, but the percentage is all against the reckless driver rather than the unskilled pilot. When you drive along the highway you will ob serve that a majority of the folks yon meet are driv ing just as you are—at a -moderate rate and with care, but about every so often some machine teurs by in and out of traffic and perhaps you will meet a dozen of these fellows while hundreds of others are passed. Yet this small percentage of autoists furnishes probably half or more of the accidents. Lack of skill and practice in driving are not of themselves a great menace—it is only when coupled with recklessness or heedlessness that they become dangerous. Of course Sunday brings out all kinds of drivers and the number of irreeponsibiles is increased as well as the number of family cars. The ratio of ac cidentsincreases also with the increase in number Tomorrow a special election is to be held at which voters of Oregon and Oregon counties will be called upon to pass judgment ou the merits of various proposed laws, levies, changes suggested for the common good. For .weeks these questions have been before the people of the state and the counties. They have been ample opportunity to study them, weigh their merits and decide on the thing they believe to be right—for the good of their state and community. It is to be hoped that they have done this duty well—that they have really studied every question on which they may pass judgment tomorrow. They have their 'right of suffnrage and to morrow they should complete their duty of citizen ship by going; to the polls and voting. Regardless of what their sentiment on the various matters may be—it is the duty of every citizen of the state to go to the polls tomorrow and pass judgment on the questions. The right of suffnrage, the right of representa tion in government, is a right for which our fore fathers fought and it is a poor example of that idea of citizenship who does not go to the polls to^ morrow and vote. Give Them A Chance Equality of opportunity'in educational advant ages is one of the rights of American childhood. It should be one of the rights assurred every boy and girl. Through adoption of the county uuit sys tem voters of Jackson county can do their part in bringing to the boys and girls of this county at least, the opportunities of advancing standards in all schools in the county rather than advancing stan dards o f some school in the county. Vote “ Yes” on the County U nit Protect Natural Assets One of Oregon’s important assets is the plea sure of outdoor life. To protect these assets it is necessary to conserve the fish in our streams. The Newtueca River is one of the most easily accessible and popular streams in the northwestern part of the state, but use of it threatens to extermiuate saknon and steelhead trout. To secure this protection sports men of the state arc hacking Bill 322 which provides closing the stream to nets. Their efforts deserve sup port. “ Vote “ Yes” on this ineasare.

Much 1» being said by a few who are opposed to the County Unit measure to the elect that the cities of Ashland and Medford are not included la thè county dis trict, and ahpuld not exercise their franchise in the matter. This is the worn out argument of pro vincialism. It is oa a par with that other arcusneat advanced by a few that a man who has no chil dren should not be taxed ^or edu cation- la ear Civil War days there were those who argued that-the South should be permitted to go her- way In peace — that seces sion and slavery, was no business . of the North, in our more recent contest for the establishment of prohibition, there were to be found those who claimed that the liquor business was a local issue ; and that one community or state I had no right to vate another one dry; but In the end the larger view obtained as it always has because the social. civic and edu cational conditions in ea^h state or iofal unit is of, concern to 1 every other in the nation. No informed person longer disputes this principle. A few years ago our country was divided into a number of road districts. In each there was ap- _ pointed a road supervisor, and « the people of each district either voted or refused to vote a road tax for thè improvement of their j own roads as they saw it . Llke- I wise In those days there ' were I those who held that it was of no I concern to another district or to • the country hew poor the-roads k* were in their own district because n It was THEIR road and THEIR II business. w JEven within the memory of d young people still in school, tbsrs ° were loud wails on the part of r* many of our citisens when the *• supervision* and upkeep of the * rpsds began to pass to county and ’* state control. Today, there is *" probably no one who would advo- n cate a return to the old system— or who would attempt to defend the theory that the kind of roads >f the rural commualtiee matateln- d ed was ao bastnees of Medford a and Ashland. u In the same way, education is not wholly a community stair, but it is county, state and nation ,r wide. This principal has been recognised for years In ths finaa- g clal support of the schools. It to nothing now. Is there any informed man who after taking a moment's thought would attemp| to defend the prop osition that the kind of school«, the county maintains to of ao eoa- r cera to Medford and Ashland? '* Even from a narrower view than that of citisanship interest, aame- '• ly that of the iaatructioa and ad- k ministration of our city behooto, ' Medford sad Ashland cannot fail : to be concerned about one stand ard of work in the rural schools and the amount of it, because there is constantly an interchange J of pupils between the school sys tems. The amount and extent of work which pupils are doing in corresponding grades in ' two ■ schools is just as important In facilitating exchange of pupils as uniform text hooka and courses of study which have already been - provided. ’ A Citisen of Jackson Co.
