Such are the arts of petition shoving. Possibly there will be enough adherents of Mr. Meier who do know what they are about to keep the referendum off the ballot.

Why the ordinance, if there is no officer to enforce it? Who will see to it that cars passing the Washington school during school hours stop as required by law? Conscientious driv ers, who are no menace to children anyhow, will comply voluntarily, but not the kind from whom the children need protection. The city would suffer a loss in fines, too. Judge Reas oner, city recorder, reports that $ 122.25 has been collected from fines in his court since January 1, all from day arrests. Local merchants, who pay an occupation tax directly to the city and the annual taxes to city, county and state through the sherrif’s office are forced to meet the com petition of peddlers and agents who, unless checked up by an officer, can slip in without payment of fees or tax of any kind. Somebody should be on the job. The day marshal, too, is inspector of dairies, jail keep er, etc., all necessary duties. Suggestion has been made that Constable Frank be made deputy marshal, empowering him to act for the city as well as for the district. Such an arrangement might prove a solution. However, the city charter stipulates that the appointment of a deputy rests with the marshal. The choice, then, is up to Harry Phelps when ever a deputy is authorized by the council. Day marshal of some kind there should be, able and willing to enforce city laws. Trying to economize without one is an economy in the wrong direction. MORE PETITION SHOVING The petition shovers will be hard at work shortly, getting names at so much per. The latest—at least the latest of which we have heard—is a referendum on the state police law. Petition shqvers thrive because many people when re- quested sign anything except checks or promissory notes without knowing what they sign or why.

They are unusually safe and reliable because they are mechanical, internal expanding, with all braking surfaces fully enclosed. This prevents mud, water, sand, etc., from getting between the band and drum and interfering with brake action. Other outstanding features of the Ford are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, four IIou- daille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers, aluminum pistons, torque-tube drive, more than twenty hall and roller bearings, Rustless Steel, reliability, economy, and long life.
