BANISH THE RECKLESS DRIVER
Drivers with chronic cases of traffic negli-
gence, who have long and continuous strings of
accidents against their driving records, will be
nried off the highways, if bills such as recently
introduced in the Oregon legislature by State
Senator Bynon are passed.
The bill was originated by the American Au-
tomobile Association,, and carries the endorse-
ment of the National Council for Street and
Highway Safety. It has been in effect in a num-
ber of states for several years. Under it, a driv-
er responsible for a certain number of accidents
is deprived of his license. The bill is reciprocal
m that persons ruled off the roads of one state
cannot obtain a license to drive in another state
which has the same law.
Authoritative surveys demonstrate that the
liabitually careless driver, like the habitual crim-
inal, never reforms. If he is reckless, incompe-
tent or congenitally unable to drive properly, the
chances are that he will never change. No mat-
ter how many accidents he may have, and how
many times he may be arrested, he will continue
to cause more accidents and violate more traf-
fic laws. Thousands of cases are on record
where one driver has been responsible for a
score or more of accidents within a relatively
short period of time. Such drivers menace the
&fer health and property of us all—they have no
right to drive automobiles.
It is estimated that, after the 1935 legislative
sessions close, 85 to 90 per cent of all motorists in
fbe country will be affected by a safety respon-
sibility law. It will be a potent weapon in the
war against our mounting toll of automobile ac-
cidents—nine out of ten of which are easily
avoidable.

Each member school should
strive to make the league a suc-
cess by cooperating with the dir-
ector of each event.
Again the Committee request that
all loving cups be brought to the

Each child who wins a contest
is disappointed when he finds that
there is no cup for the event, so j
please bring the cup in and then
the child will not be disappointed
in the matter. We, the Committee,
urge the cooperation of all in this

will prove successful if each tea-
cher. pupil and citizen of the coun-
ty will do his part.

must deposit approved securities in an amount adequate lor tke protection
ol policykolders.
Tke Registration Law requires tke segregation of policykolders' funds,

of tke <State Insurance Department. Experience of tke last five years
kas demonstrated tke effect and value of registration laws.
Tke Registration Law makes mandatory tke valuation of tke required
