DUNEDIN, Last Night. At its meeting yesterday, the Dunedin United; Temperance Reform Council adopted the following resolution- to be forwarded to the Minister of Transport, the Hon, R. Semple :— "That the most effective way of protecting sober motorists and other users of the highways would be to enact a law to the effect fhat the driving licence of every motorist couvicted of beipg intomca^ed in charge of a car should therehy automatically be cancelled for three years (minimum) for the first offence, and six year^ (minimum) for the second conviction. The Dunedin Temperance Council believe's that the Government holds in this the most powerful weapon in dealing with the drinking motorist, but it must be made automatic upon conviction aird imposed upon everyone alike."
