TESTS FOR AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
The suggestion of Con lissioner Barbur, of Port­
land, that physical and mei.t i tests be required of appli­
cants for automobile drivers’ 1 Lenses is worthy of adoption
not only by his city, but by the state.
What purpose does a drie r’s license serve at present’.
Scarcely any, save to provide something for police courts
to take from a man for a sea on as a penalty for violating
traffic laws. True, there ar. certain restrictions—on pa­
per. The applicant must an: ver questions as to his age,
experience, and physical sot: ldness—but only the rarely
honest incompetent answers these questions in a way to
bar getting the bit of cardbo rd he wants. Of course the
applicant has “driven” for si . months and more. Driven
what? How often? How s ccessfully? And never has
he any physical deformities that would prevent him from
guiding a car skilfully.
“People drive cars when they have had no experience
with them and don’t know wl at to do in any emergency,”
states Mr. Barbur. “In De roit recently they took the
first 100 drivers they met ; nd put them through test:
and found only 13 who were entitled to a license. About
half of the 100 were under he influence of liquor, some
were maimed, some were < le-eyed and one-armed and
yet they were driving cars on the streets.”
Conditions in Oregon are not so bad as that, but they
are bad enough. Though w< do not have so many drun-
ken drivers as sousing wet Detroit, there are plenty ol
men and women with forty, sixty or eighty horsepower
at their command and no :. nse or skill in directing it.
2146 people hurt and 70 kii d in automobile accidents in
Oregon the first six months >f this year is anything but
an enviable record.
There should be a real < xamination of applicants for
motor vehicle drivers’ licens :, under a competent officer
susceptible neither to flatter t, bribery, nor political pull,
Let him get into a car with the applicant, and see what
he or she can do with it.
Such a procedure, disla eful as it may be to those
who lose by it, will have to t ome some day. As it is, we
are living the world war ov r again—on our streets and
highways.
THE CITY HA J. CONTRACT
The awarding of the co tract for constructing a jail
and fire department garage under the city hall to John
Miller is gratifying, for it m >ans ihe employment of local
labor on the project. In the: :> times of comparative unem­
ployment, jobs made available for Vernonia people who
spend their money at home (when they have it) help not
only the workers, but the merchants and the whole com­
munity. The price, too, is reasonable, and the taxpayer
is glad to approve.
