MEPFOED MAIL TRIBTXE, rEDFORD. OFF.GON. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2, .103,. PAGE SEVEN ! AUTO DEATH TOLL 82, Public Opinion Now Favors Jail For Speeders Who Maim and Kill Legis lative Action Demanded. PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 1. (AP) The "let's quilt killing" campaign which ended today left an aroused public which shuddering for 82 martyrs of speed will applaud aafe ty legislation. This was the opinion of W. R. MacDonald, Oregon State Motor as sociation director who was general chairman of the campaign spon sored by the Portland Oregonlan and the state-motor association. Another salutary effect expected by the sponsors will be public senti ment favoring stiff "Jolts" for traf fic violators. The Portland police fiscal year ended yesterday with a new all time traffic accident fatality record of 83 set. This was six above the previous all-time high set In 1931 and 24 more than last year. Some of the victims never knew what hit them while others died slow, agon izing deaths. Hit and run drivers have been rampant. Traffic safety legislation frequent ly Is subordinated to other questions of the hour, t But the "let's quit killing" campaign made safety Itself the question of the hour, and the Portland city council passed a "back seat drinking" ordinance. The ordinance forbids drinking either by operator or occupants of any moving or parked motor vehicle Inside city limits. When the state legislature meets tn January a safety responsibility bill will be Introduced. This bill, modeled after an American Auto mobile association bill enacted in a number of states, would provide that motorists who cause personal or property damage be held for strict financial accountability on penalty of revocation of their oper ator's licenses.

E REPUBLICAN SHIP (Continued from page one.) Less Wear With Triton new planning, or whether It was the opportunism of business and finan cial disaster that restored the party beyond the point." And then Senator McNary made the observation that "parties do not die when issues arise to inspire them, aa Issues infallibly do." Personal Cares First j Continuing to quote the senator. the Oregonlan article continued: "The voter who la pressed down by per sonal cares cannot be made to In terest himself In the presumptive violence to thi. constlutlonal separa tion of powers, congress control of commerce, and the due process clause by law's that are theoretically de signed to relieve his distress and which he hopes will relieve his distress. For that matter, the oonstltu-; tlonallty of congressional laws Is not determinable In the political forum. The supreme court still lives and it has not failed us yet. Moreover, If laws do. Indeed, violate personal and property rlgrts they ought to be con demned whether the violated rights are guaranteed by the constitution or not." The Oregonlan quoted McNary as having declared: "I hope for sup port in congress In move to abol ish price fixing." He said he believes the Bankhead amendment limiting the cotton crop and applying "an unbearable tax upon cotton surplus." ehould be re pealed. He observed that "banish ment of child labor and of sweat shops, and the efforts toward wage and hour regulation and spread of employment, deserve everybody's com mendation." He said he believes "In the prin ciples of old Age pensions and un employment insurance." and hopes for "co-operation of Republicans in the adoption of sound measxires car rying these principles into effect. I,oan"for Farmers "The present practice of making government loans to industry at low rates of interest should be extended to the farmer. The farmer, from the tobacco grower of Connecticut to the wheat grower of the middle west and eastern Oregon, la struggling under indebtedness and high taxes and lack of price parity for his products. "Low Interest government loans to farmers would be an insurance against Inflation, for if the farmer is not relieved of some of his present burdens he will demand depreciated currency wherewith to pay his debts. "I offer these suggestions as a mat ter of public expediency, not as a matter of party expediency, though measures that improve the public welfare redound to the credit of the organization that sponsors them. "Yet, I repeat, that the Repub licans In congress ougnt to do their utmost to rescue the country, in co operation wlth the administration or otherwise." Senator McNary said there were other subjeits 01 importi.iicfi Chat could not be discussed in the lim ited time at his disposal, the Ore gonlan said.
