Traffic laws are being violated and the lives of travelers upon the high ways are being jeopardized daily by the reckless, lawless drivers. If those who driv- ca: s cannot obey the laws, steps should be taken to revoke their driving license. The speed demon will tell you that he does not drive fast and will keep up his terrific pace until its too late. It is better to en force the law now than to wait until an accident happens or one or more lives are snuffed out. The Pierce Leader says stop the trucks speeding through the streets at express train speed. Stop the blind and one-eyed lamp cars and others that have no rear lights; stop the drivers who drive with the cut-out open on their trucks and cars. Why are people snapping their fingers at the law and considering them so lightly? Why? Because they seldom if ever, hear of them being enforced. —II59N<0 u! 1!
