Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Do you think it is necessary that
one human life be sacrificed to mod
ern traffic every day in the state
of Oregon? That thousands must be
injured and milliins of dollars in
property damage suffered as a part
of the price we must pay for the en
joyment and convenience afforded
us by the use of motor vehicles? Are
you willing to pay your part of this
tremendous toll?
If not, what are you doing to
change present conditions? No one
can be sure of being exempt from the
penalties of reckless or careless driv
ing. Its toll will eventually be felt
by you, your family and your friends.
No group is too small, no family cir
cle and its contacts so few in num
ber that it can feel secure.
Deaths on Oregon highways show
ed an increase of more than 18 per
cent in 1936 as compared with the
previous year. The number of fa
talities for this year again is raised.
Can this continue indefinitely or
will an awakened public conscience
put an end to a condition that has
become intolerable.
You ask what can be done? The
answer is: manifest an active inter
est. An aroused public sentiment
will get results. Discuss the problem
with your educators, your police of
ficers and your courts. Call it to the
attention of your legislators, that
they may act if necessary. Remem
ber that education, enforcement and
engineering must go hand in hand
in the ultimate solution of this terri
ble and perplexing problem.
Every community in Oregon is in
terested in bringing about better
driving conditions on our streets and
highways, and it is my hope that ac
tive work will go forward in each of
them in the very near future. Do
your part to help eliminate Oregon's
traffic deaths.
