HAS COME no STAY. ~
There Is no doubt that the alItomo.i
bile has come to stay, and the sensib!s$
thing, to do is to bring them within
reach of the people Who most need
means of rural locomotion and trans.
|portation. At present, all the ipducs.
ments are to manufacture high-pricea
machines, and IT Is 3 necessary to atinlu
late our home manufac lures to produce
an efficient rca tical E machine at "a

give their attention to producing u
machine which 4 he common people will
he able to buy and use.
In line with this idea. II note that
several states contemplate a declaration
of the law of the road modified and
adapted to the conditions produced by
the introductio Of Al new charac ter Of
vehicles, some OF them proposing tax
alton and other equations It is to be-
hoped that in all such legislation the
same distinction will be observed by
|3exempting from taxation the low
priced machine in order to promote the
same end. inducing manufac turers 70
produce a low- priced machine to enable
the common people to enjoy the bene.
fits of Improved vehicles and the uso
of the roads.
THE common people must eithsr
cease to travel, abandon the use 81
their highways. or they must adopt stkJ
same method of travel. They hlust
either use self propelled \ vehicles or /
walk. If automobiles are to have tho
right of way over the road, certainly
we ought to do everyt thing, in our power
to place them within thejreach Of thosS z
who stand most in need of transporta-
