CONTENDS FOR FEDERAL
REGISTRATION OF AUTOS
National Association Believes I'M
portant Measure Should Be
Passed by Congress

Federal registration of motor-driven
vehicles is a need of the day which
the American Automobile association
will continue to contend for, though a
gradual change of conditions since the
Introduction in congress of the meas
ure prepared by the national associa-
tons legislative board may make ad-
visable several amendments to bring
the subject thoroughly up to date.
In Boston at the July meeting of
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Automobile association, presided
over by President l.. r. Speare, the
following resolutions We're adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
executive committee assembled at BOs-
ton, July T. that the A. A. A, through
it's state organizations, local clubs and
individual members should renew
their efforts towards securing the
passage of the federal registration BILL
though in an amended form to har-
monize any difference of opinion which
may have arisen because of national
discussion of the measure and added
reasons for adoption since it's first pre-
sentation to congress.
Resolved, That it is the belief of
this committee that a most potent
reason for securing a federal registra-
tion law now exists in the present in
ability of the United States to enter
into the recently concluded interna-
tionaI agreement providing for the is
suance of international plates of
IDENTIFY which permit the uninter-
rupted passage from country to coun-
trv without hildrance in so far as it
refers to the identification numbers of
a car or the right of its operator to
drive.
Resolved, That this act should not
interfere unduly with any state that
has granted or may grant reciprocity
upon it's own initiative to the motor
lists of other states.
Commenting upon the present situa-
ton in the matter of federal registra-
ton, President Speare yesterday said:
"IA is not an easy task in these times
to secure federal results in such man
ner al not to tranSgress upon what are
designated as the sovereign rights of
the various states. but we are con-
fdent that all opinions will be har-
monized before congress reassembles
in December next
THE widespread growth of interna-
tional touring and the progressive
methods of the European governments
in making more convenient this pass
ing from one country into another, has
served to accentuate the lack of uni
formity in the automobile laws of the
United States and the positive neces-
sity Of a federal registration plan
which shall enable Americans to par
ticipate in this touring comfy of ma
tions as it affects motor-driven trans
portation. It is expected with great
degree of probability that this inter
national arrangement will in the near
future also include the veXatious ques-
ton of customs. But the United states
can never participate in this inter
national plan until ii shall be possible
through federal registration to offer
similar courtesies to visitors from
other countries"

GLIDDEN TOUR HOLDS
ROUGH GOING RECORD

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away from the Glidden tour, the
fact remains that this tour provided
the muddiest and toughest going of all
the six that have been held, Tire and
automobile companies are all agreed on
this point
According to the rules, accidents to
tire equipment could not possibly af-
feet the scores Of the contesting cars
yet as matter of convenience de-
mountable rims showed their value
time after time, as a great saver Of
time and trouble in changing tires
An unchallenged echo of the tour is
the statement by the Firestone Tire
and Rubber company that out of ten
cars having demountable rims, seven
were equipped with the Firestone. Let
ters from drivers show full apprecia
ton Of this equipment.

PLAN TO IMPROVE ROAD
FROM SAN DIEGO TO VALLEY

G. L. butcher of Imperial just pur-
chased a Baby Jack Apperson touring
car for the rent service in the Imperial
valley. He left Wednesday of this
week for the valley via San Diego.
He states that there is an agitation
on in the valley for fixing up the road
to San Diego. There are only thirty
miles of this road that it is necessary
to do much work on, and fortunately
the material to fix them is located so
that it would not be necessary to team
any of it more than fifteen miles. 1t
is only forty miles from El Centre to
the summit of the mountains, and the
chances are a pretty good sized noun
tain resort would be started as soon
as the road Is fixed, and half the pop
ulation of the valley would go up into
the mountains TO spend their Sundays
and holidays.

fail to note, upon its streets and roads,
automobiles Of American manufacture.
For years the laws Of Turkey would
not permit the use of cars on the public
highways. The royal family owned the
only car in the kingdom, TypeWriters
were likewise excluded firearms, also,
and numerous other modern inventions.
The coming into power of the Young
Turks" killed these laws, and automo-
biles were allowed. The first car sold
after the ban was removed was Ford
runabout, to an officer of the Grecian
army and the appearance Of that car
produced a near-riot almost daily for
months, so wonderfully did it impress
the natives.

the Ford garage is the only garage in

The survey is now under the di-

SAVAGE SETS A RECORD
IN BUYING GEORGE GANO
MINNEAPOLIS MAN NOW HAS
$125, 900 INVESTED IN GREAT
EST PACING STATIONS.

The fast stallion, George Gano.
2:03A, the pacing sensation of 1909,
and regarded as sure tzo-minute
PAGER. has been purchased by M. w.
Savage of Minneapolis, for $4,000. He
will be a stable mate to the worlds
champion harness horse, Dan Patch,
1:55A, and Minor Heir, 1884.
In adding George aGano to his IA
nous stable, Mr.. Savage has satisfied
his ambition to own the fastest pacing
stallion before the public each season.
He has also established several unique
worlds records. In the above three
sensational stations he has the fast
est trio of harness horses ever owned
by one man, as well as having set a
high price record. Dan Patch cost him
100000, Minot Heir $4,000. and
George Gano $4,000; a total of $685.
900 for the three sidewheelers.
Tommy" Murphy, the successful
young New York trainer, who raced
Gano last season, will retain the horse
in his possession till next Septeni Der,
filling a number of grand circuit en-
gagements with him. Gano will then
be turned over to Henry Hersey, Mr..
Savage's trainer, and the station will
be prepared for low record. An at
tempt will also be made to drive him
in double harness with Minor for try
at the worlds team record of 2:02%,
established last season by the worlds
greatest own brother and sister.
