Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. ee ‘The needs of California in Attorney General Earl Warren, non-partisan candidate for governor, declares there is no law to compel anybody in California to drive at 35 miles per hour or less. The reason there is no law. is beeause Governor Olson is so thoroughly at outs with the legislature that he refuses to call it into session. Speed laws and other emergency legislation is urgently needed “but the ‘governor is apparently governed by his personal pique. war time can wait. But in the meantime James M. Carter, Olson’s director of motor vehicles, issues instructions to the highway patrolmen to halt all motorists driving more than 35 miles per hour and report their names to tire ration ‘boards. What the governor~ refuses to legalize by calling the legislature into session, and submitting a bill which would fix the miles per hour, he proposes to accomplish by use of the State Highway Patrol and bureaucratic fiat. No-motorist can be jailed or punished legally for exceeding the 35 miles per hour, but the highway officers can make life exceedingly unpleasant for them. This will add another burden to the load the highway patrolmen already carry. It is an outrageous imposition, especially as the highway force is chronically understaffed. 3ut we daoubt whether Governor Olson cares very more whether school keeps or not. He has probably—relinquished any much = anyfond dream of a second term, The primary election ‘brought him ‘a great disappointment. So.he ‘‘sics” Mr. Carter on the erring motorists, and lets it go at that. But those who read this column, we hope, will feel that they have a moral obligation to keep their car speeds down to 35 miles or less an hour. We have a war to win. We ean help by conserving our rubber and obeying the federal demand for lower speed. We shall presently be rationed in use of gas. Only a very small percentage of us have any priority as regards tires, tubes, or recaps. The sensible thing to do, as well as_ the patriotic, is to cut down speeds and keep the old car running, for that is the only way it can be done. Driving speeds are mainly a habit. A lot of habits are going to be revised ‘before this war is won. Even eating habits will be changed willy nilly. Why not begin habit changes by reducing speeds. It can\be done by watching the speedometer for a few days while driving. That notorious hlumibug, Gerald K. Smith, lately candidate for U. S. senator from Wisconsin, or was it Michigan (7?) ‘promised the people of his state rubber tires by Christmas, but along toward the end of his campaign he made Easter the limit. Here is a fine example of the demagogue in action. Whatever is dear to the voters hearts, the candidate glibly promises. However, for once, the electorate silently voted this demogague a liar by electing his opponent. So far, no California candidate has been guilty of this hoax. And, believer it or not, no candidate has promised the people lower ‘taxes this year. President Roosevelt on returning from a two weeks tour of the middle and far west, told his press eonference that there were three things wrong with the country in this wartime. One was his own administrative officers, brass hats that shoot the bull, spread alarms, carry on interbureau feuds, and spread confusion. Another . was congressional jockeying and bickering while the war goes on. Playing politics. A third was a minority of the press, which seizes ‘on occasional strikes or labor and employer rows to balloon them into black headlines.

Otherwise it Olson was kept by the people for 4 years, at the end of which they decided to keep him no longer. He resents this and remembers that the majority of the California Press warned the people against him four years ago. The people now agree with a majority The newspapers of the United States, in the great majority, are sentinels who stand guard night and day, watchful that no enemy, without or within, shall steal, usurp or destroy the freedom, all the “we the people” have won in 150 years by “sweat and blood and tears.”’ The press of the United States as a whole is more representative of the ideals and aspirations of the American people than any other institution, governmental or private. For it is of the essence of those things most precious in their hearts. It makes articulate the thoughts, and the hopes of an uncounted host, that otherwise would be without voice or influence in the destiny of this great nation.
