The alarming increase in the automobile accident rate shows that an effective solution has not yet been discovered, although there have been many attempts. The present law against drunken driving, I believe, is not strong enough to cope with the problems resulting from the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The law, if justly carried out, would do much toward solution. No law, however good it may be, can remedy a situation unless those who are paid to enforce the law and the general populace are in sympathy with it. Every solution tends toward the separation of gas and alcohol. Therefore, to solve the problem one or the other should be eliminated. I believe there is no question in any person’s mind as to which is of the more value. Hence, our problem changes to one of getting rid of liquor by law or popular demand. If a thing is forced upon one he will sooner or later rebel and will do the thing simply because it has been prohibited and not because of any real desire. I believe we have the same problem in attempted liquor control. It is necessary for the people to see the destruction of property and human lives which it causes before they will act on it. It is useless for a small, strong, well-organized group to push a prohibition amendment through. The good that prohibition will do our country and the individuals of our country must be realized and felt by a great majority in order for it to be of any value. If the people of the United States are educated to the physical, mental, and economical disadvantages of alcohol this problem will solve itself. PRINCIPAL G. H. GOOLD—B.S.
