PAYNE, BURNS AND SMITiL NEW YORK ee - (Official City, State and County Newspaper) National Appalling prompted Pr ifety Conference increase in ident Coolidge to call a national con- ference. Press reports, indicate that the delegates | were almest a unit in agrecing that the speed of automobiles must be cut down. Experts on traffic maintain that fifteen miles an hour should be the limit in business districts controlled by police or b: except when traffic is enatls, r Wolf, a Chicago coroner, gave some very ns why speed limits in residential and rural areas should be rigidly established and en- forced, He { that those who take the position that forty miles is as safe as thirty miles ought to attend a few inquests. This meeting of traffic experts should be a long step establishing uniform ional traffic reg s. If such were done, the problem would be si i The enforcement of speed limits fixed by the law should be most rigidly enforce and interference by politicians in freeing: violators should be eliminated. Following upon the heels of the national conference, is the one to be held in North Dak Governcr Sorlie has received splendid respen: the law enforcement officers of this state in his ef- fort to focus attention upon the necessity for strici regulation of automrobile traffic, not only in the city, but on the rural highways of the state. Safety first should always take precedence over any effort to increase speed limits. It has been shown conclusively that by increasing speed you au-! tematically cut down the number of cars that can be safely operated on the highways and on the city streets. An investigation made recently in Chicago dis- closed the following fact: At 23 miles hour 2600 cars could pass a given point; at 26, 2570; at 31, 2500; at 24, 2400; at 40, only 2080 cars could pass a given point. The conclusion of the investigators was that at 22 miles an hour a maximum capacity of the road is secured. Out of these safety conferences some real good should result. If nothing else done than to di- rect attention of automobile drivers upon the neces: y for radical changes in the operation of motor such meetings will not have been held in Old Tricks In Europe A baby touches a stove only once, but Europe is playing with fire again.

A Motorized Nation (St. Paul Dispatch) The first gasoline automobile in United States appeared on the street thirty-four years ago next month, April 19, 1892. The number of motor hicles in the United States on January 1, 1926, ex- ceed 20,200,000; while the country’s annual auto- mobile bill has reached the stupendous sum of $14,- 000,000,000. Within thg short space of a generation, Americans have been changed from a} horse-drawn to a gasoline-driven nation. The whole 117,000,000 of them could start out on an automo- bile trip together, if a few of them didn’t object to riding in trucks. Other recent inventions may have! placed a greater strain on the lay imagination, but} it is doubtful if any has effected so radical a change , in the mode of life cf the nation as automobiles have. x With automobiles came a demand for better roads and more of them; with better roads came an in-, of manufacture were improved it became p' a few dirt farmers left. jas he trudged along |shrilly, — And | Editorial Comment | a single |; Marky Muskrat went off to Serub- | ‘Up Land with the March Hare and the Twins like the good little fellow | he was. jcleaned any more than you like to ‘have a bath when you're all ready ‘to go out to play. | “IIL just look the same,” he said. “PM just be an ugly old brown—no matter how clean I am.

They told him the dope an’ he re- lays it right back to Mooney. Sim- ple as pie, wasn’t it—after he got on the right track?” Jimmy heard him listlessly. As they were leaving the front door, O'Day, with a sweeping glance around him, said, “fine house you've got here, Rand. Do you realize, my that it’s yours? Why, you're a millionaire, lad!” He whispered, “Think of it! And then he threw an‘ arm around the other’s shoulders. “Aw, buck up, Ind, buck up! It has been’ hard, but you pulled through en top.

What the liberals should | ask for is determination by each state of the pro- hibited alcoholic content and federal assistance in the maintenance of that standard. They should ask, in short, for states’ rights with federal cvopera- tion. | On that principle they will ultimately win. The principle is right. The principle conforms to the genius of American institutions. The principle is workable. The principle is’ ple and plain. No Democrat can reject it without rejecting the funda- mental principle of his party: No Republican can reject it without rejecting what the present day leaders of the Republican party, fronf Coolidge tv Borah, are preaching. The principle of states’ rights will win. ‘ .
