NO BACKWARD
A ftiti -n for an ordinanee
tintf the riding of bieyel-s on the
Aidea-alk of Dalla is being eireu
Utfl and will presented to the city
council in the near future. For the
creditof Dallas as an up-to-date and
progressive town, it is to be hoped
that this petition will riot le grant"'!
by the council. The repeal or the
eilstirig ordinance would be a
decidedly backward step one that
would benefit only a few people and
i neon ren i' noe many.
Dallas tx-k the I'-ad In abolishing
the bicycle nuisance many years ago,
and nearly every town of importance
In Oregon has since followed her
example. Sal'in is about the only
town where the custom is still per
mitted and right at this time the citi
n i.t th( Caoit,1. backed by the
daily pa-rs, are making a determined
effort to iut the bicycles in the Htr--t,
where they Wong. Only a few days
ago, the Statesman prinV d an editorial ,
severely crideinning the practice of
riding whe.-ls on the si l-walks and
chara1'ii.iijg Salem as the "moss-
ba,:k town of Oieon" for permitting,
"KiXTiiding wheels on
the sidewalks would doubtless be
, , , i . .
appreciated by a few business men.
It would also lie bailed with delight;
l.oo.r,rr r,f inline iioodlimif". wllO. 1
caring nothing for the rightsor safety
of pedestrians, would iiickly si'.o
the opportunity to make the sidewalks
a raee-coiir.se. The business men
would ride carefully and would
end' - or to iejieet the special
privileges given them. The idle hoys
and girls would race up and down the
walks, jingling their bells in the ears
of civil (.edi'Miriaris and niakingtheiii
eves a nuisance generally. This
was the state of affairs before the
existing ordinance was passed, and
thero is no reason to believe that It
would I-otherwise if the law .should
lie repealed.
II ari effective ordinance could be
passed limiting the privilege to husi
lies men only, there would probably
Ix) no objection from any uarter,
notwithstanding the fact that a bicycle
is a vehicle, and, as such, belongs in
the street. Put an ordinance permit
ting certain persons to iice and for
bidding others the same right would
mine under the le ad of class legis
lation and would not be north the
pier on which it was written. An
attempt to solve this problem by limit
ing the px'ed and restricting the
privileges of the riders would prove
ineffective, as a dozen sjiccial police
men would be icijuircd in enforcing
the law. Even then, tin' people in the
outlying retddemv districts, where the
miisaii'v is always the greatest, would
be without protection.
Tim Oitsiitvm lielicvcs that the
present law is a good law. It believes
that it voice the sentiment of a large
majority of the men and women of
Dallas when it expresses the hoMliat
this law will not he changed. As far
as the H'tition is concerned, it is more
than probable that the greater nuuilier
of signers are men who rare little
about the matter ,me ,iv or the other.
Petitions are easily obtaiind now
adays; one can get a etition for
almost anything. The present council
men are nearly, if not all,e.ericticid
oftlcers, and they know the utter
worthlessness of a petition as an i
expression of the leal desires of the'
pmple. How many times these C 'un
eilmeii have had some ,ne take them
around the corner and whisper; "I
sign. s Jones' p-tition yesterday, hut
I hopeth.- council will not giant it.
You see, Jones, is a g,m, friend and
customer of mine, and 1 didn t like to ,
offend him, so put down my name."
This is the way signature to a peti
tion aie s,viitcd not nil signatures,
but many--an. I it show of how little
worth a ("'trion is n,.wa lavs.
The first bicycle ordinance in Dallas
wa passed in the face ,.f a large
remou-ttaiuv, an I iiisid,. ,.f
mouth many of the business men
who had riding wh.vl expressed
tiieir lieany approval of the law and
