SPEED LAW
Oregon now has a new law
regulating the speed of autom o
biles on the public highways of
the state. It is being said th a t it
puts the burden of proof of speed
on tfie one arrested and yet words
m aking th at effective are not con
tained in the w ritten law and would
probably not be constitutional if
they were.
The law does state “ Any per
son who drives a vehicle upon a
highway a t a speed in excess of
that, designated by this act—shall,
upon conviction, be punished by a
fine of not to exceed one hundred
dollars or by im prisonm ent not to
exceed ten days or by both such
fine and imprisonm ent: provided
that any speed in excess of said
designated speeds shall be prima
facie evidence of a violation of
subsection (a) of this section.”
In other words if a driver is
caught going a t a speed greatei
than that perm itted in a specified
zone it is evidence thathe is guilty
of breaking the law. Prim a facie
m eans a t first sight, on the face
of it. Prim a facie evidence must
be disputed or be taken by the
court.

Now th a t does not make this
lsw much different than the present
one. Ah officer arrests a m otorist
and reports to the court th a t the
arrested ope was going 60 miles
per hour. The victim says he was
going but 40 miles per hour. ¿The
court believes the officer and levies
the fine. U nder the new law that
is exactly what will hanjien, too.
A man isn’t guilty until proven so
and he isn’t going to be under the
new law.

A Call to /Prayer.
No doubt most people in S h er
man county have listened in on
The Old Fashioned Revival Hour
each Sunday from five to " six
o’clock p. m. This broadcast
leaches three fourths of the globe.
Charles E. Fuller, the ministei
who conducts this broadcast, has
cd led for a day of prayer, Mon
day, June 16. P ta y er i§ the great-
i st power known; find yet, sad to
f ay, the least used. Our Lord said
th a t “ ’Men aught always to pray,
i. id not to fain t.” Luke 18:1.
At this time when nations a rt
falling and civilization crum bling
end our own »beloved nation greatly
threatened, we all would do well
to heed this admonition.
The God who delivered Danel
f on, the lions den; and the three
I .ebrew children from the fiery
fira a c e ; who divided the waters
( f the ’Red Sea: and fed the multi-
t ide in the desert forty years; and
f ught their battles when they
tu s te d in Him, is the same God
of power and is just w aiting for us
t > pray down heavens blessings.
The invitation of Our Lord is
to come and take freely. The Word
says: If my people which are call
ed by my name, shall humble them
selves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven and
vill forgive their sin and will heal
their land. II Chron. 7:14.
I thought it well at this time to
exhort all who believe in the
power of prayer, to join in prayer
on June 16, as only God can save
our nation and liberty.
”0 Lord by Whom we come to God,
The Life, the T ruth, the W ay;
The path of P ra y er Thyself h ast
trod:
Lord, teach us now to pray.”
Mrs. D. H. W right.
