Possibly there will be enough adherents of Mr. Meier

the law has been passed it should be’given a fair trial with­

to stop at two intersections on Bridge street. 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. It would be in­
teresting, if possible, to ascertain how many ardent ad-

Professional and Business Directory
Reliability and safety
due to simple design and
careful construction
ONE OF the first things you will notice when you
drive the Ford is the quick, effective action of its
four-wheel brakes.
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.
You save when you buy the Ford and you save
every mile you drive.
For your convenience the following business and professional people are listed on
this page alphabetically. These men and women are known in Vernonia as reliable business
and professional people.
