I have learned it costs them to fight a complaint than to the fine. As a result they end with a low opinion of our American court system."

Mrs.Lloyd Bailey of San Franco Wide investigation of traffic law enforcement has been ordered by Assemblyman Ralph M. Brown of Modesto. Brown, chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, named Assemblyman William Rosenthal, Los Angeles attorney to head the investigation. He said he has received many complaints from citizens alleging "unfairness" both in arrests and in trials and penalties. Revenue Purposes "I believe that in many instances motor vehicle laws are being enforced for revenue purposes rather than for the safety of the public," Rosenthal said. "I urge all citizens who have knowledge of such conditions to write to me stating the facts." "The purpose of this committee is to learn whether or not justice is being given to the ordinary citizen who never has any contact with our courts other than that which results from some minor traffic violation. If these citizens are being treated unfairly by the police and other traffic courts I shall propose legislation aimed at correcting the situation." He said he believed motorists who are a menace on the highways should be dealt with severely but this does not give our traffic officers and traffic courts a license to treat every person who has about the grower. Here stunt you have not heard about: As a customer comes to the store they see display on ange juice. There sits a five-pound bag of oranges selling for 49 all ready to be squeezed.
