Little by little traffic regula-
tions must be worked out and the
people educated. The average
motorist does not realize the dan-
ger in speeding, and careless
minds are responsible for most of
the damage to life and limb. The
three greatest evils yet to be put
under control on the highways
are speeding, glaring ligths and
road hogs. The next legislature
will deal with these. Bills have
already been suggested to fit the
cases. Revoking a few licenses to
drive an auto, and depriving the
violators of the opportunity to
violate the law. will no doubt
prove a good remedy. No man
who refus ■ to respect the right*
of others should be permitted to
drive a motor vehicle on the
highways, and the time is coming
when he will be deprived of that
privilege
