AUTOMOBILE LAWS (Continued from Page 1.) as to give half of the driven road to the other. A violation of this pro- vision, like all others, is a misde- meanor, Upon meeting or overtaking any horse driver or in charge of a woman, child or aged person, the operator of the motor vehicle shall not pass said animal at a raje of speed greater than four miles per hour, provided that in case the animal exhibits any sigp of fright the driver shall bring his machine to a stop and upon request or raising the hand of the person in charge of the animal, or in case the animal continues to exhibit signs of fright or cannot be controlled, the operator of the car shall stop the motor of his vehicle so long as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent damage to the property or life or limb to the owner of such animal. All persons shall at the intersec- tion of public highways keep to the right of the center of such highway when turning to the right and pass to the right of such intersection when turning to the left. "In cities and villages, or any place where traffic is large and congested with traffic or horse drawn vehicles or street cars, slow moving vehicles must keep near the right curb, allowing those mov- ing rapidly to keep near the center of the street. All vehicles, including teams, however, must keep to the right of the center of the street. No person shall drive a car upon any public highway at a sgreater speed than is reasonable and proper, having regard to the traffic and use of the highway, or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the pro; erty of any person. In cities or vil- lages where the traffic is more or less congested a rate of speed of ten miles an hour for a distance of one-eighth of a mile, and through the residence portion of any city or village a rate of speed of fifteen miles an hour for a distance of one-eighth mile, or out- side the closely built up business por- tion or the residence portion of such city or village at a rate of speed of twenty-five miles per hour for a dis- tance of four miles shall in every in- stance be prima facie evidence of a greater speed than is reasonable and proper. In going around a corner or curve in the high way where the operator’s view of the road traffic is obstructed, six miles per hour of speed shall be prima facie evidence of greater speed than is reasonable or proper. In case of a physician, however, who may have violated the speed limit while in active response to a sick call, if he is stopped by an officer, the register number of his vehicle shall be taken and he shall be allowed to proceed to his destination and sub- sequently such proceedings shall be taken as shall be proper. In case of an accident by collision or otherwise, cach driver shall forth- with bring his car to a full stop, return to the scene of the accident and give to any proper person de- manding the same, his name, num- ber of his license and the number of his car and the names and residence of each and every male occupant of such car. Failure to do so is by statute made a gross misdemeanor. Any person operating a car while in an intoxicated condition shall be guilty of misdemeanor. No person shall tamper with or drive or operate or use a motor ve- hicle without the permission of the owner and no person shall without authority from the person in charge climb upon or into any automobile while the same is in motion or hurl stones at the owner or occupants thereof, or shall, while such car is| at rest and unattended, sound the horn, or attempt to manipulate any of the levers, starting gear, brakes or machinery thereof or otherwise in- tefere with the same. things is a misdemeanor. Any person who enters any ware- house, garage or building of any kind | and take or remove therefrom, for his | own use, any auntomobile, without the knowledge and consent of the owner, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and the voluntary return to its orig- inal place shall not be deemed a de- fense in the prosecution of such of-| fender. There is a general clause | providing that any violation of the provision of the law referred to where no punishment is provided for, shall be a misdemeanor. In addition to the statutory pro- visions, there are in most localties well observed rules of conduct of op- erators of automobiles. If the driver of an automobile contemplates turn- ing his car from a forward course, such fact shall be indicated by the holding out of the hand in the di- rection in whieh he proposes to turn in sufficient time to warn all cars behind him of his intention. Cars passing in the same direction on the street must give the car on its right the right of way. Cars desiring to pass shall give timely notice of the desire by signal of the horn. Cars going up hill or on narrow fills have the right of way. Front cars must not unnecessarily obstruct the pass- ing of a car behind and shall aid pass- | ing cars so far as possible. Auto- mobiles must give teams the right of way wherever possible and conven- ient. Automobiles are not expected to stop and offer assistance to other cars unless clearly requested. It will be interesting for the public to know that vehicles drawn by a team must carry a light at night and must keep the right hand side of the street, turn the corners around the center the same as an automobile. The law is-drastic in the extreme relating to the conduct of a driver of an auto- mobile in meeting or passing a wo- man, child or aged man driving a team, and it is only fair that such a person, who needs the protection the law affords, should give some sig- nal or notice of such need, and the fact that it is impossible to deter- mine in many cases who is driving the team, would suggest that the lady or aged person carry and display To do these | Pointed Paragraphs From Speech of Acceptance of Charles E.

THE CUB REPORTER ««4&4««*1***&*: WOMEN ACCIDENTALLY TURN IN FIRE ALARM It was dark. Two women who attended the Elks’ dance at the city hall wanted to telephone so they went into the police sta- tion. It was dark but they could see what they thought was an electric light switch. They pulled it but—it was not an _electric light switch—it was the switch for the blowing of the fire alarm whistle, Firemen were called but no fire could be found.

PIONEER A Player’s Relative Is One Ferocious Bird ' SATURDAY, OCTOBER POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Authorized and placed by Charles S. Carter. Amount paid for series $20.00). s~ READ THE DAILY PIONEER WANT ADS FOR : All Kind Of Wood--Wholesale and Retail SEE . I am a candidate for Representa- tive from the 62nd district, and re- spectfully solicit your support at the election, Nov. 7, 1916. I might make numerous promises as to what I will do if elected, but quantlfi promises are made largely to gain votes, and are soon forgotten after election. Therefore, the prom- ises I have to make are few in num- ber, but these few will be religiously kept, if I am elected. I do promise, if elected, that I shall perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest -of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. Iam opposed to the further issuing of ditch bonds in this district until the present judicial ditch law . is amended so that ditches will be con- structed only where the quality of the soil, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. I believe the operation of the pres- ent judicial ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our citizens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- terest and principal of said bonds, have been jeopardized by the enor- mous issue of bonds, and the high rate of interest paid therefore. I will do all I can to secure legis- lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of said ditch loans. My politics are Republican, but under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. ‘I prom- ise also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- ceive the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- eges will be extended to none.
