Show LAW ENFORCEMENT. ,A whole lot of hot air is being expended about obeying the laws of the state. The majority of these speeches are in reference to one particular law which is unpopular with the majority of the male voters of the state and impossible to ever enforce. There are a hundred other laws, though, that are worth while in being enforced and the press should point out some of these at this time. One of the laws, is the placing of a light on every farmers' wagon of horse-driven vehicle, when it is being used at night. This is not alone for the benefit of the automobile driver but a safety precaution for every person in a vehicle. Another law along the same line is something that should be again called to the attention of everyone who uses the roads in the state, by the newspaper. The law reads that the slow-moving vehicle ve-hicle should keep to the far right of the road. Many farmers and drivers of slow-moving vehicles, such as trucks, horse-driven wagons, persist in keeping in the middle of the road which is not only dangerous dan-gerous to them but the driver of the fast-moving machine. The law is for the benefit of the slow-moving vehicle and should be understood. under-stood. On the subject of the cigarette law, about the only thing that this law accomplished was the taking away from the various publicity pub-licity mediums of the state of Utah of about fifty thousand dollars a year. Just as many cigarettes are being smoked, dealers are making mak-ing just as much profit, but no advertising is done within the state. Your ethics may be against the smoking of cigarettes and it is not the wish of the officers of the association to say anything or do anything any-thing that might be contrary to your ethics. This matter was called to your attention as a matter of business and a matter of fact and for no other reason. Utah State Press Association Bullentin. |
