FLAY CARELESS STATE HIGHWAY TRUCK DRIVERS Bill to Make Department Liable to Damage Suits Killed. Careless operation of highway department trucks and vehicles was branded as “criminal” today by state representatives in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain passage of a bill permitting suit to be brought against the highway department because of accidents caused by department employes. Driving oi large highway trucks at the ‘illegal speed of five miles an hour” down the middle of highway. while “employes pick up paper and poke with sticks under the name of maintenance,” was part of the attack launched by Representative Delph McKesson (Dem.) of Plymouth. Chance for Redress Urged “The day when the king can do no wrong was the rule is no more recognized. If an employe of the state highway department negligently and carelessly injures me or my family I can’t see why it shouldn’t be liable just as a private person,” McKesson said. The debate was precipitated on the second reading of the McGriffClaycombe bill which would permit suit to be brought against the highway and conservation department as a result of accidents growing out of negligence and carelessness of the department’s employes. The suit would be filed in Marion county superior court.

Cites Case in Point When the bill was read Representative John W. Scott (Rep.) of Gary presented a motion to strike out the enacting clause, which would kill the bill. Representative Emerson E. McGrifT (Dem.) of Portland, co-author, rose to the defense and told of how three years ago a father of three children was struck by a state vehicle and has since been confined in the Central State Hospital for the Insane, and the destitute mother and children are without redress. “With state highway department vehicles everywhere as a result of the millions spent on road building, the public should have some protection,” he urged. Fear Dishonest Suits Opponents of the bill led by Representatives Scott. E. M. Hawkins of Fowler and H. H. Evans of Newcastle declared that the bill would lay the state open to many suits brought by dishonest persons. Representative Lloyd D. Claycombe of Indianapolis explained that with the superior court judges sitting en banc it w'ould be practically impossible for the state to be imposed upon, and Evans countered with the charge that the bill was fostered by “Marion county attorneys who probably have ready a number o f suits to file as soon as the bill is passed.” Opponents of the bill succeeded in having the enacting clause stricken out with a vote of 48 to 45. ANALYZES MODERN LIFE Evangelist Speaker at Roberts Park Church. Indulgence in thinking, the great urge to have freedom of expression and youth’s revolt at our convention typify life today, Dr. E. Stanley Jones, evangelist, told an audience at the Roberts Park Methodist church Monday night. Dr. Jones asserted that failures in life only could blame themselves in failing, in that they did not direct their potentialities in the right path. “Sin is the great ‘no’ of human life and the divine ‘yes’ is sounded by Jesus.” Dr. Jones averred.
