Outside of counties above mentioned: $2.00 per year KENTUCKY PRESS, ASSOCIATIONS MEMBER WEST KENTUCKY PRESS ASSOCIATION TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1935 A GOOD LAW At a recent hearing held in Lexington by a representative of the State Tax Commission drivers licenses of eight motorists were revoked. Operating an automobile while intoxicated and reckless driving charges brought against the motorists were sustained. Such action will have a wholesome effect, in that it will deter drivers of automobiles from operating an automobile in such a manner as to subject them to the penalty of having their license revoked.
These violators of rules of safe driving were punished under the law enacted by the last legislature, which requires all who operate automobiles to have a driver's license. The license remains in effect without renewal so long as there is not an infraction of traffic laws and regulations. Upon its being revealed that one 18 guilty of practices which endanger the lives of others, the license may be withdrawn, which denies the offender the legal right to drive a motor car. The majority of automobile accidents in Kentucky result from reckless and improper driving. Now that there is a driver's license law, and those who offend may be legally denied the privilege of operating a car, we anticipate that there will be fewer drunken drivers on the highways.
This effective curb on drunken and incautious drivers should make the highways safer, reduce the number of automobile accidents and make travel by motor less hazardous. It is a good law. PERSONAL VIEWPOINT I By FRED BLAKLEY MEMBER In the death on January 4 of C. R. L.
Vawter, renowned Christian evangelist, Kentucky lost a distinguished son who lived in a big way while he lived and wrote his name in indelible impressions in the hearts and lives of those he touched. He was born at Springdale, a little over 55 years ago. In addition to traveling throughout the United States in his work as one of the country's foremost evangelists, he had conducted religious campaigns in Australia with excellent Approximately 000 persons became members of the church under his preaching. -FBGov. Ruby Laffoon wants to know how the people of the state feel about the proposal that he release from 200 to 400 prisoners serving short terms in the state reformatory at Frankfort.
There are at present 719 of the institution whose capacity under humane housing conditions is only 700. To add to the gravity of the situation created by this overcrowding of the reformatory, the men are idle. Mr. Ambrose Dudley, head of the state's penal and charitable system, expresses the consensus of opinion. among those throughout the state who have kept informed on this subject when he says the commonwealth has been "fortunate" in not having any major disturbances within the prison.
The governor, during whose administration 2,978 prisoners have, been released on parolefor. which the chief executive has been severely criticized in some. quarters assures his people that in event a decision is reached to relieve the crowded condition at Frankfort by the clemency route, only those young men sent up for minor offenses, whose release would not endanger the welfare of the citizenship, will be turned loose. "I want to know what the people think about the idea," the govrenor, said. Inusmuch as the true purpose of penal institutions, especially in the case of young men and first offenders is to reform rather than punish, it would appear that under present conditions, STATEMENT Municipal Light and Water Plant PROVIDENCE, KENTUCKY YEAR 1934 BALANCE: Cash on hand January 1st, 1934.
