BY FORREST M. kEETON,
President Of the keeton Motor Com


Agitation against automobile shows
is unfortunate just at this time and
should never have arisen. Personally
the writer believes thoroughly I'm the
annual shows held in all of the large
cities OF the country The utmost
benefit to the industry results not only
from the annual automobile shows
held everywhere but also from motor
ing contests, touring and racing ana
the Keeton Motor Company will sup
port both the shows OF the future and
motor contests TO the best Of It's abil-
ity.
In past years have clearly shown
my ideas with regard TO contests, for
back in the earliest days or the
Vanderbilt races on Long Island the
Pope Manufacturing Company team,
under my management. was factor
and since that time have made every
effort to secure honors in contests of
every character and without results.
The Keeton Motor Company is al
ready entered in the Indianapolis 500
mile race with Bob Burman as driver
and will perhaps have another entry
with Edward A. Hearne. OF Chicago, at
The wheel. Entry number ] in tbs
savannah race has been reserved for
the Keeton car and we contemplate
other entries in racing and touring
events.
Competition is a great thing for the
automobile industry, whether II be for
priority at automobile shows. in con-
tests on the road or speedway or in
hill climbs. Competition is means
not only 70 selfish ends, but II keeps
motoring as an industry prominently
before the public at all times. Auto
mobile shows OF national character are
wonderful means for the advertising
OF the industry and ! strongly advo-
cate more shows and not less shows
I'm fact. have advocated In the past a
show TO be put on in summer. at the
time the makers bring out their new
models. this show TO be for the benefit
OF the dealers of the country. Such a
! show TO my mind, would prove a won.
! derful success IL held at a time agreed
lupon bv the manufacturers and partici-
mated i'm generally by the makers, who
should agree to withhold views Of

hibtion.

Reports that the automobile
manufacturers would agitate the
question OF localizinB the Me-
York and Chicago National shows
in the future, Withdrawing the
support OF the makers, caused
sensation at the Chicago show.
Many manufacturers are said TO
be in favor OF such a move and II
is said that the Motor and Aces
sorry Manufacturers association
will withdraw from all shows In
the future. This association eN-
hibits only at New York, Chicago
and Boston and takes all space not
occupied by the automobile manu-
factUrers Withdrawal OF the
association would be practically
fatal TO the national shows. The
following signed statement by
Forrest NJ. Keeton, president OF the
Keeton Motor Co, which Is
strong supporter of contests OF
every sort and automobile SHOWS
will outline clearly the other side
OF a much mooted question.

In law. In justice and In fairness
there is no proper basis for the ex.
elusive taxation or motor vehicles as
such. There is need at all times, and
particularly in the case of matters
which are in formulative period,
to get back to the elementary priA.
ciples. 1t is only in that way that
rights may be kept in view constantly
and defended as they deserve.
II Is TO be borne in mind that there
Is nothing in the nature OF the auto
mobile as a vehicle which should so
far distinguish 1t from other vehicles
using the highways as 10 warrant the
imposition upon II of special
species OF taxation. That the right
of the automobile to use the high
ways, is now too well recognized TO
require argument.
Judge Cooley, OF the supreme court
OF Michigan, in the case OF Macomber
VS.. Nichols. put the matter very terse.
ly as follows; When the highway
is not restricted in it's dedication to
some particular mode OF use IL Is
open to all suitable methods and II
cannot be assumed that these will be
the same from age 10 age or that a
new means of making the way useful
can be excluded merely because their
introduction may tend to the incon
yenience or even to the injury OF
those who continue TO use the road
after the same manner as before"
In recognition of the principle thus
laid down by Judge Cooley the Su
Tpreme Court or Michigan IN the com
paratively recent case of Wright vs.
Crane said: There is no doubt thai
owners OF automobiles have the same
rights in the streets and highway

M'GANN SOME DODCER
Six Bullets Miss Him and He Helps
Arrest ASSailant.

Great Bend, Kan, Jan. 17.-Perhaps
Joseph McGann. a waiter in a Great
Bend restaurant, is entitled to the
medal as the champion dodger of the
universe, in that he ducked six bullets
and helped arrest the man who fired
at him. Charles WEIGH is in Jail as
a result.
Welch had been in a telephone booth
in the restaurant for some time when
Mccain informed him another person
wanted the phone. Mccain finally
threw him out of the booth and COM
pleted the job by throwing him out of
the front door. By that time WEIGH
had his revolver in action, and when
Mccain jumped back in the building
WEIGH shot at him six times. No one
was injured, though there were num-
Der of people in the building at that
time. When his gun was empty arrest
was easy.
