with the mcney collected in 1934?
They certainly did not spend it for

stated that revenue is being increas

ways are apparently getting in worse
condition.
There arc roads like the ones be
tween Sylvester and Albany badly
in need of repair. There are con
necting links like those between
Sylvester and Cordele, between
Nashville and Lakeland where the
foundations were Jpid for paving
more than two years ago and the
hard surfacing has not been com
pleted. There are similar links like
the one between Omega and Tifton,
and several links on route 51 be

paving has been delayed for years

Even as the crafty Jacob talked

possessed of our rightful heritage of
good road by the artful proponents
of “diversion."
It is not surprising that we failed
to get roads built and repaired when
hardly more than one-thiro of the
money collected from motorists for
that purpose is being paid out or.
roads. Apparently they are spending
a little money some where for
roads. Certainly they arc spending
the federal money and this is evi
dently going where there arc politi

state where millions are paid into the
road fund very little is being

that the motorist is also lax.
A second requisite of good en
forcement is intcligent application
of the law. All offending motorists
are not alike, either in their attitude
or the degree of their offense. No
police officer has the right to abuse
his authority by abusing a motorist
where harshness is not called for.
The 'bawling out" should be saved
for the extreme offender. The aver

amenable to reason. The police-
.n who can explain how the safety
di the offender and of others has
been endangered by an ilcgal or an
unsafe practice and who is equipped
well to demonstrate statistically
the toll taken by that particular vio
lation. is far more likely to win a
convert to the good driving idea.
Correction and not punishment is the
of modern traffic law enforce
ment.
Real enforcement, therefore, is
self-enforcement. Death and destruc
tion on streets and highways will
practically cease when every driver
—and every pedestrian—becomes his
agent of enforcement.

SLOW ROAD BUILDING IN STATE
