SPEED L IM IT S
1 000.000 people ow n .1 city lot'
Establishment of definite top speed limit
zones on all Oregon highways will be recom
mended to the forthcoming session of the
Legislature by Secretary of State Earl Snell.
Convinced after careful study and investi
gation th.it such action is essential toward
further reduction of traffic deaths and the
only way in which .in immediate and sub
stantial reduction in accidents and injuries can
be secured. Mr Snell stated that he is now
preparing a tentative bill for submission next
month that will iurry such a provision.
“This is no experiment.' Mr. Snell stated
"There may be some argument as to what
causes accident, but there can be no argument
as to what causes fatal accidents. Uncontroll
ed speed is present in such a tremendous
majority that it is clear that speeds must be
lowered
Experience gained in other states
throughout the nation bears out this statement.
Under the proposed act all highways in the
state vc ill be zoned and top speed limits estab
lished by the state highway commission The
basic rule at present the only provision of the
law that limits speed, would still be applicable
as a regulatory measure in regard to all speeds
within the top limit
It is true that there has been a substantial
reduction in accidents, and a saving in lives
during both l'M7 and 19J8. as compared with
previous years Mi Snell commented.
But
this saving in lives, this reduction of highway
traffic toll is not coming nearly fast enough.
It is a life and death matter to the people of
l )regon Education is well under way. engin
eering is progressing rapidly and any effec
tive program of enforcement must be backed
with a suitable speed law “
Speaking of the proposed change in the law,
John lira key, traffic engineer of the state
highway department expressed the view that
the present law. after several years trial, had
not acconiplishd the desired results, that speed
is a big f actor in present traffic fatalities and
that he favored some such suggesed amend
ment.
T W O A C R E S EACH
Citizens of Oregon whether they realize it
or not. own nearly two acres of land each,
and each four of the states approximately
Furthermore,
this ownership of land s increasing at a rapid
rate each year!
However. Mr. John Citizen needn t think
he can take possession of his two acres, build
a house on it. and start family garden. The
land, for the most part, is covered with
stumps, or barren rockv soil of doubtful value
even for grazing. Some of it by modern re
clamation methods, might be habitable.
Against the tax reverted land stands a total
tax debt of $26.000,0000 an account receiv
able that will eventually mean a considerable
loss, even though the assessed valuation of it
and other property th.it will revert during the
next year or two will approach $75,000.000.
These are facts brought out in the latest
state planning hoard report Management of
Tax Reverted Lands in Oregon
In it plan
ning board experts give results and findings
gleaned from three years of work on a W P A
project assisting counties to classify property
that has reverted for taxes The report was
written by Arthur Damschen special assistant
to the board, in collaboration with V . B.
Stanbery. board consultant.
it seems that nf a commercial and financial
wav we can regard the year 1939 with a de
gree of optimism The Roosevelt Recession,
like the Hoover Depression, was felt in the
W est several months after things "flopped
in the East. Reliable reports indicate the trend
now in the East is for better times. Maybe
we can hope, as the negro in the spiritual, that
Hard times come again on more."
After all a millionaire misses a lot of fun.
How is a millionaire going to realize the
amount of excitement there is in holding out
a five-spot on his wife on pay-day?
Maybe we will live to see the day when all
highways will be widened so that two cars
cin start around you and meet two more cars
and tangle six at one time.
There are some heavy women in this county
who won t do a thing to reduce except shrug
their shoulders when they step off the scales.
