copies OF the new automobile law
adopted by the last general assembly
nave been received at the county au.
dltor's office. Dealers and auto own.
ers Will find it good thing to get
posted on the new act, which pro-
vides for a number of radical
changes.
The license rates established by
the new law are as follows: For
gasoline automobiles, So for ma
chimes of horse power up to twenty
and 40 cents for each additional unit
OF horse power above twenty; cleo
trio and steam vehicles, SIS; motor
cycles, $500; dealers demonstration
numbers, SIS. Buyers of machines
have the privilege of operating their
new autos fifteen days under the
dealers number while waiting the
issuance Of their own license mum
| bers.
The new law, which becomes ef-
fectiye July 4, requires that number
plates be displayed on the front as
we'll as the rear of motor cars and
they shall be hung in such a man
ner that they cannot swing or sway
Perhaps the most radical provision
is that the license called for shall take
the place of other taxation on motor
vehicles and the funds SO collected
shall go to the permanent improve
ment Of the roads of the state. The
new law specifies that the license
fees collected by the secretary OF
state shall take the place of other
taxes of any nature on motor vehi
cles and directs that the taxes levied
this year shall be Cancelled For
the year 1911 only one-half the tax
or license will be collected.
Under the law motorists are re
quired to exercise a somewhat great
er degree of caution in driving than
has hitherto been demanded and the
man on foot is given one chance for
his life by the provision that auto,
lists shall slow their machines on
approaching q pedestrian and the
fact that a motor is running at a
speed in excess of twenty-five miles
an hour is made evidence presump-
tive Of carelessness and lack of proper
precaution on the part of the dri-
yer.
1t Is made felony for any driver
of motor vehicle which has run
down or injured any person or caused
any accident on the public highways
j to leave the scene of the accident
without stopping and giving his name
and address to the injured party or
to an officer of the law, if one be
present This is about the most
drastic measure in the new law and
while most automobile drivers dc
| far more for the victim than merely
1 to give him their names and ad
dresses, the clause has been inserted
on account of the numerous occa
sions where joy riders have injured
or killed other persons and sped on
without stopping.
On the other hand, the new law
establishes the rights of the motor
vehicle on all highways, and fol
lowing the law of the high seas,
makes the more speedy machine re-
sponsible for the avoidance of acct
dents. 1t has long been marine
law that the ocean liner shall take
the precautions when meeting sail
/ ing vessel. on account of the greater
ease with which the swifter vessel
can be unanswered. This principle
is now applied to autos on the roads
of Iowa, and is expected to reduce
to the minimum accidents resulting
from careless driving.

Chamber of Commerce, Galveston,
Texas:
Gentlemen: Messrs. Stone & Web.
ster of Boston have asked our city
for a franchise covering electric
lighting, railway, power and gas bust
ness.
We know they are financially
strong and able to carry out their
contracts. but we would like to know
something of their relations with the
cities in which they are now operat-
Ing public utilities. Will you kindly
let us know by return mail what your
experience has been with them9
Contracts cannot cover every issue
that will come up in the relations of
corporation OF this kind to the
community. I'D Have you found them
liberal in their policy towards the
community? Cd Have their relations
with the city government been har-
monious? Cd Are their representa-.
tiyes counted among the public-spir-
} lleo citizens OF the community? "a
Have they shown a willingness to be
! helpful in the growth of the city and
Its business interests?
Any information you can give US
along these lines will be appreciated.

Galveston Speaks Highly Of the Com.
pany and Says II co.operates
With Communities In Which
It Operates.

The Keokuk Industrial Association
recently sent out letters to fifteen Of
the big cities Of the country where
the firm of Stone & Webster hold
public utilities franchises, asking a
number of questions regarding the
concern.
The first answer has been received
coming from Galveston, Texas and
shows that in that city Stone & Web
ster have the confidence and good
will CT the citizens. This is the com,
pany asking for franchises to operate
the public utilities in Keokuk.
