Many autoists who have occasion to use the
highways to a large extent express a lftck of con
fidence in what they term the “ Sunday driver.”
Their argument is that Sunday brings out the inex
perienced driver who because of his lack of skill
is a menace to his fellow autoists.
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.
Medford recently pafcsed a city ordinance pro
viding that all unlicensed dogs should be asphixiated
but made no provisions to start yowling cats to paw
ing on heavenly harps. ,

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

la ear Civil War days there

contest for the establishment of
prohibition, there were to be

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

k* were in their own district because

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

’* 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

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
