The bridge itself is a link in transportation along the Pacific Coast. Its dedication is not only another phase of development in the great west. It is a mile-stone in the history of our nation. A Cure for the Rush Act Not so long ago the legislators at Sacramento were hopefully talking about adjournment by May 15. But today, being up to their necks in budget business and labor trouble, it begins to look as though they'll be in the capital for a good many days beyond that date. Of course the lawmakers, just as ordinary mortals would be, are anxious to get back to home.and family and to have some time for their private affairs. . But !et’s hope that this year they'll avoid some of the patent evils of the last-minute legislative rush. What usually happens is this. Bills by the dozen are brought on the floor and passed without any attempt being made to discover what is in them. Then these are tossed on the governor's desk, and verybody goes home but the governor. He then, in effect, becomes a one-man legislature. It is up to him to sort through the whole batch, signing the ones he likes, discarding the ones he doesn’t. So diverse are these bills many of which the lawmakers wouldn't think of passing if they read them, that the governor can vote “‘yes’’ or “no” unanimously on most any conceivable subject. Is this fair to the public, or to the governor either, for that matter? A governor might cure them of this someday. He could sneak through a bill in the last-minute rush, and then when it came to his desk unread he could sign it. It would be a measure calling for a fifty per cent slash in all legislator’s salaries. . They Scott and Then Die In the never-ending war against death on the highway, each individual, to contribute his part, must know the habits of the enemy—thé habits of accidents. Where do accidents happen? Why do they happen? An analysis of accidents in California, one of the most thorough and searching on record, was issued the other day by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. And here, briefly, are a few of its most revealing discoveries: In every hundred accidents on city streets, there are fiv> deaths, while on rural and private roads there are sixteen deaths per hundred accidents. Drivers between the ages of 20 and 29 years have more accidents than those of any other ten-year age group. Accidents involving drunken drivers or “pedestrians increased nine. per cent during, 1936. . / "OF persons killed in traffic last year, 23 out of every hundred were women. Out of every hundred accidents, three were caused by mechanical defects of vehicles—faulty lights, or faulty brakes. In all of these facts there is food for thought. But in one further discovery the very heart of California’s traffic death problem is laid bare. It is a pity there is no way to sear it permanently into the mind of every driver who scoffs at the law —who scoffs and then crashes. ‘Tt is this—that by far the greatest number of California auto accidents occur on good roads, in daylight,' during clear weather, and involve a violation of the lawful driving rules. ~ GUESTS REGISTERED lor, San Francisco; E.
