Inadvertent Violator or
Automobile Criminal
Several automobile - wrecks have
occurred in the county within the
past few months and have been
caused from various things. Of
course a number of them have been
caused by mixing liquor and gaso
line which is improper without ques
tion or discussion.
But all the wrecks reported have
not been due to the above cause. A
close study of the traffic situation
will show two kinds of violators,
the inadvertent violator and the
automobile criminal.
The inadvertent violator means
to be careful and competent but he
is usually a poor driver, or slow in
his reactions, or is absent minded
or is easily distracted from the busi
ness of operating a car. Because of
him, many severe accidents occur.
The solution in his case is a li
censing authority which passes on
every driver's fitness, refusing those
who are mentally .or physically in
capable of safe .driving, no matter
how good their intentions may be or
from what walk of life he derives.
The automobile criminal present
an entirely different problem. He
may be a good and competent driver
in all respects except one. deliberate
disregard for the rights and safety
of others. In hits case*, intent-—
that old arbiter of any criminal act
—is present. He drives recklessly
or under the influence of intoxi
• cants.. He runs away after the ac
cident. His punishment must be
certain and severe if he is to be
curbed.
On the one hand are the inadver
tent violator, who should be helped
and do not belong in the courts, but
on the other, the intentionally dan
gerous, who are a. real menace to
public safety.
The legislatures should recognize
these factors and give consideration
as a constructive step toward solv
ing the problems of automobile ac
cidents.
The Right Attitude
Toward Cooperatives
The farmer who joins a co-opera
tive association with the idea that
mere joining will immedately broad
en his market, raise his prices and
bring him prosperity, is doomed to
disappointment.
When enough farmers join with
the intention of working with and
for the co-operative, loyally sup
porting it and seeking new mem
bers', in order to build for the fu
ture, they will get wtiat they are
looking for.
The co-operative movement is
gradually bringing agriculture out
of chaos. It is laying the founda
tion on which permanent profitable
and good markets can be built. That
must be done before any progress at
all can be made.
Co-operation then, is simply en
lightened self interest. It isn’t a
quack panacea for all farmers' ills.
It is akin to the treatment of a first
class surgeon who knows that when
ever possible, he must get his pa
tient in good general condition be
fore attacking precise troubles.
While some farmers in Alleghany;
county have the co-operative spirit,
it would be well for all of them to1
get a healthy case of the same spirit!
and no better time could be named
than now.
Advise with the county agent
about your troubles and line up with i
those who are trying to build a fu-j
ture for the marketable products of
this eounty.
This, in our opinion is the only
solution for your problems and the
sooner every farmer is caused to1
realize it, the better it will be for;
him.
.SUGGESTS NEW I*GAN
Make every person over 18 years
of age spend half the money jie
possesses. That is the suggestion of
Harry S. Joseph, mining man and
unsuccessful candidate for governor,
of Salt Lake City. In a letter to
President-elect Roosevelt he said
such a law would “open trade chan
nels.”
