Road Protection Wanted.
Corvallis— An agitation was started
this week by Corvallis people to have
it made a provision of the automobile
laws of the state of Oregon that no
person who drinks liquor to excess or
who is known to be a reckless driver
shall be permitted tp drive an automo
bile on the highways of the state. It
is also argued by some that an exam
ination of the heart should precede
the granting o f such privilege.
,T h e demand for such a law followed
an automobile accident in which two
drunken men and a woman came near
losing their lives, and the public high
way was made dangcrouB for others
because o f their reckless driving.
