HXAMS FOU AUTO MUVKItK
J (Jovernor-clect Meier lius join-
en wun Jiecreinry or niaic nai
Hums, the ntato automobllo asso
ciations and other bodies in advo
cating un auto drivers' llcenso law
that requires physical nnd mental
tests. The present llcenso law is
an absurdity ns anyone having
$1.00 can secure a driver's li
cense, regardless of qualifications.
Eleven states nnd the District
of Columbia ulready have some
such tests for drivers as that pro
posed for Oregon. A model ll
censo law forms pnrt of the uni
form vehicle code toward which
tho National Safety Council has
been working. Its adoption by a
majority, perhaps all of the states,
is only a question of time.
Mr. Meier in his statement says:
"Tho essence of this recom
mendation is that the candidate
for n license under this law to
be successful must pass an exam
ination, both physical and mental.
The Htatement that such a law
would be valuable in reducing tho
number of automobile accidents
cannot bo questioned. Expert test
imony, national and local, strong
ly indorses this plan. There are
today hundreds of persons operat
ing motor vehicles in this state
who are mentally or physically un
fit, or otherwise deficient In abil
ity to operate a motor vehicle
properly. The toll of lives taken
by automobile accidents is increas
jing. mis pruoiem must oo
, vigorously dealt with and at once.'
Tho legislature should have lit
tle difficulty, in view of the ex
perience acquired by other states,
in formulating such a law for Ore
gon and thereby helping reduce
highway casualties. Salem Capital-Journal.
ItAIUO SLAXDEIt
Oregon now has no criminal
slander law. Our next legislature
is to be asked to enact one. Judge
Kendall of Kidgwny, Johnson &
Kendall is preparing it on behalf
of the Better Business Bureau. The
bill elevates slander into tho dig
nity of a crime, instead of leav
ing it beneath the notice of law,
and provides that tho utterance
of Hlitnder over the radio is a
crime, and that for a radio li
censee knowingly to permit broad
casting slander is a crime.
Our experience with Duncan has
taught a lesson. Other states will
profit by that experience. Tho de
mand for radio slander laws is
nation-wide, as individuals with
reputations worth protecting, be
they personal reputations built up
by a lifetime of decent citizenship.
I or ' commercial reputations built
up by honest dealing, are realizing
that those reputations may be vir
tually destroyed among tho vast
multitude who do not know the
truth about those who are attack
ed over tho radio.
Privilego of using radio for pol
itical purposes was abused by
Duncan, who claimed protection
for his slanders on tho ground
that he was a candidate for con
gress. A radio slander law would
make it possible to punish this
abuse. Thus oven an upright pub
lic servant, or an upright candi
date for public office, would bo
afforded protection from vicious
falsehoods intended to reflect upon
his personal character. If decent
men are not given this protection,
it will be increasingly difficult to
get them to run for office.
A slander law, such as Judge
Kendall is proposing, will make it
unnecessary to have radio censor
ship a danger to be avoided.

Urol the whip hand in the upper

however, that the "people of Ore

Senator Mann says that if he
had his way in the matter he!
would "ask for appropriations nec
essary for the operation of the
atnfr government and state insti
tutions, and then adjourn." He
declared 'hi nine If opposed to any.
more laws, as "we are overburden-'
ed with laws now." He goes
further in stating he Is not in
favor of Issuing any nf w bonds. 1
and is opposed to any now appro-j
priations that "will make our lax
burden heavier."
"State iensions for tho super
annuated is humanity's answer to

Senator .Woodward, but he docs
not concur entirely with the pen-1

jested in the measure. CI mini- j

and would favor the age of 70 or!
more. t Ho further believes the
