come into vogue | foresaw that they
were going to be universally used, that
they were going to lead the good roads
building, that they were going to
overcome the prejudices of the coun-
try people by carrying the motorists
out through the country and raising
the prices of everything the country
people had to sell and giving to the
townspeople the reciprocal benefit of
getting those things fresh in return
for paying a little higher price for
them. 1t has been genuine progress
in the use of the automobile. Now
cars are not confined as luXuries to
the rich and the imitators of the rich,
but are used by the mssses of the
people who really need transportation
facilities and so self-propelled vehicles
are being used by the millions"
Charles T. Terry. rormer chairman
of the A. "A. A. Legislative board and
now its general counsel, who had in
hand the original federal registration
bill, utters this concise summation of
the situation: Good roads amount to
nothing unless the laws are such that
they may be used freely. If We are
really a nation, then the so-called
boundaries between the states are no
thing but imaginary lines. They have
no existence when a federal question
is raised as to the duty of citizens of
this country. If war were to be de
clared it would be asserted without
contradiction in any quarter that ev-
cry citizen owed his particular duty
to the protection Of his country, ir-
respective of and above any duty he
might owe to his state. That federal
duty, along with the federal right,
must be, If it exists at all, reciprocal
between the individual and the nation
Men would be called upon, because
why? They are citizens of the coun-
try. State lines would be obiterated
Why isn't it equally true that when
the right is one of the individuals s.
state lines also should be obliterated?"

AUTOMOBILE TAXATION AND
INTERSTATE TRAVEL

Washington, June Eff a state
can collect taxes out of it's autosts,
and out of all the neighboring auto
lists from other states, that state of
course will have more revenue; and
every other state that does likewise
will similarly have more revenue. But
if the people don't pay out that money
into all the other states, it seems to
me that money is still in the states
and may be used for other purposes
Thus Representative Williams C.
Adamson, chairman of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce
of the house of representatives, refers
to the automobile taxation situation
which limits the crossing and re
crossing of state lines by the owners
of motor cars. Recently Mr.. Adam
sons committee reported the meas
ure which bears his name, and which
would make home state license good
in all other states for indefinite per-
iods, and which it is hoped will be
passed before the present congress
adjourns.
Addressing the motorists Of the
country at the annual banquet of the
A. A. A. held in Washington, D. c.,
Representative Adamson expressed
belief that the measure could be pass
ed if the motor car owners could
make their congressman agree ION
the good old American interstate ideas
of communication contained in the
bill"
Referring to the early days of the
motor car, Representative Adamson
said: 81 was not at all alarmed when
the first horseless vehicles began to
squirt around through the country. |
thought they were great things. I
had read in history, that our prede-
cessors on this mundane sphere had
had some primitive elemental idea of
vehicles, but that they had never ex-
sctly struck the proper chord 10 make
