FISHER, E ¡tor and Publisher 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.
