"HAVE YOU `3'OUR PERMIT?"
The above has been a very perail-
eat question .in Clinton the pest few
days and drivers of cars who couldn''t
answer in the affirmative, backing
up the affirmation by producing the
necessary document, have :been hail-
ed befos e `the : beak and trade to
settle in coin. of the realm, a little
preliminary which did not excuse
them from providing themselves with
theimportant bit of paper later.
Highway inspectors have been in
Clinton, several days this week and
hailed many drivers, demanding - to
see their permits, If they had it all
was well, but several hadn't. Soine
who possessed the regulation permit
had left it at home and could not pro-
duce it. But -that .did not seem to
make any difference. It seems you
must have it on your person ;or in
the car.
"It doesn't seem to ane to be mor-
ally right to treat the man Who has
a permit but has not carried it with
him as severely as' the man who has
not complied with the law at all,"
was the remark of Chief' Stang in
discussing the matter. Arad it locks
as if he's, right,. Any man might for-
get to change his papers' over from
one pocket to another when changing
his clothes, a 'laps'e of memory is
not a criminal act. But of course it
might not do to take every man's
word as to whether he was observing
the law. But a man whe has enema
but cannot just produce it at the
moment might be let off on suspen-
ded sentence or something, surely.
These periodical drives hove e -
ti v i.,
aro for the piuposo of bringing home
to: the minds of, the people the fact
that laws are on the statute book to
be observed and that everyone is
equal before the Imo .
