AUTOMOTIVE
SECTION
OIL BOOMS CREATE
NEW USE FOR CARS

Another reason why the motor car
companies are so hard put to keep
their production somewhere within
hailing distance Of demand is cited
by Howard Harvey, Liberty dis
tributor of Dallas, Tex.
Out in the desert some one discov-
cred oil-and the rush began. It was
only then a day or so before a steady
procession of passenger cars and
trucks began making endless trips to
and from this patch of land ninety
miles away from Dallas, which was.
until the discovery, no more than a
dessrt waste.
The town. still nameless at the time
OF this writing, is built of tents, which
were hauled in automobiles from the
tsnt. The population was well over
fifteen hundred people by the time
drilling commenced
Days are busily spent in preparation
for sinking the wells and in rushing

Government restrictions require In

tne nights. in an atmosphere remi-
nfscent of the Klondikke. are passed
in harmless revelry at the canvas soft

According to Harvey. the price Of
t50 for a cup of coffee and a sand
vich. appalling as it would be to even
those or US who are thoroughly Injured
TO the n. G. of t. is regarded as moth
fng ont of the ordinary. The prospect
- sudden riches from the oil-Iaden
land outweigh any present inconven-
ience or expense.
Cut of from outside communication
nv reii. the existence of such COM
nunitics would be impossible were il
not for the constant train of ANTONIO
biles travelling back and forth from
the distant railway. The road. as
might be expected. is little better
fhan a track in the sand, and very
had I'm many places. YET the traffic
rolls on almost without interruption.

drew the charter lacked the pescience
to forsee the new forms of convey
ance that future generations were
to develop.
An ingenious tourist who was aware
of this gap in the scale OF charges re-
fused to pay the tolls required of au
tomobilists for passage over the
bridge, insisting that the imposition
of such charges was an enlargement
of the charter scale made without the
Regal authority which is necessary to
effect a chanage in a corporate charter
But the lazy is elastic: that is the
judicial way'of expressing the popu-
lar idea of stretching the law. The
court held that as TO passenger auto
mobiles, the provision OF the charter
covering -four wheel carriages for
passengers" is applicable. although
admittedly this provision was express
ly intended to cover horse vehicles. AS
to automobile trucks, the court de-
cided that they must be held to be
subject to the charges provided for
carriages for burthen drawn by two
or four beasts
Query-wnl the charter stand an
other pull to cover the case of aero
plane traffic?
Some solace for public officials who,
barred from the helpful tactics of the
labor unions, find themselves losing
out in the fight with Mr.. II. c. L., is
found in a recent New York case. In
New York, as in almost all other
States, there is a constitutional inhi-
bition against granting extra COM
pensation to public officials during
the term for which they were elected
or appointed. In one of the counties
the superintendent of roads was pro-
vided with an automobile at public
cost for the purpose of facilitating the
performance OF his duties. Payment
for the car was refused by some Of
ficial concerned with the approval of
expenditures on the ground that the
transaction was tantamount to the
granting OF extra compensation to
the road officer. But the court de-
cided otherwise. and directed that
payment be made.
The tendency toward parsimony in
the provision OF insurance for the va
rious contingencies involved in the
operation of a car sometimes raises
very close Questions. InNa very re-
cent case an owner who carried only
collision insurance accidentally drove
his car off the side of public bridge
and into stream below 1t. The
owner was not injured, and the dam
age to the car was due entirely to the
fall and to it's immersion in the
stream and not to coming into con-
tact with any object before the fall.
Was this collision? The court de-

Answers To Questions.

Q.-Can you furnish any authorita-
tive decisions covering the right of a
State to tax an automobile stored in
the State, where the owner resides in
another State? F. L. S.
A.-You will have to give me some
Of the details of the particular case

you references to decisions exactly in

or for a definite and prolonged period
What is the ultimate purpose in view

of proximity of residence, or in view
Of some particular future use Of the

The geenral rule of law governing
the broad question of the taxation of
automobiles of non-residents which

as follows, though slight circum-
stances may require the application

.cided that 1t was and so the insur-
ance company had to pay.

Among the very recent decisions Is
one Of especial interest to dealers
who sell cars and truck attachments
on the partial or time payment plan:
A Ford was purchased on the partial
payment plan, mortgage or it's
equivalent being given for the unpaid
balance at the time of purchase.
While the mortgage remained unpaid
the owner purchased one of the we'll
known truck attachments and by
means of it converted his passenger
machine into a truck. The attach
ment was likewise purchased on the
partial payment plan, and a mort
gage was given on the car as reform
ed, covering the unpaid balance due
on the attachment. The payments on
the attachment were not kept up, and
when the seller attempted to enforce
his mortgage he was met by the claim
Of the holder of the first mortgage,
who maintained that his mortgage
covered the car not only in it's origi-
nal condition, but also in any changed
or improved conditioR IN which 1t
might be put while the mortgage re-
manned in force. The court decided.
however, that the seller of the truck
attachment could detach and reclaim
it, though as general rule a mort

LEGAL POINTS FOR
5 OWNERS OF AUTOS
by OUR LEGAL CORRESPONDENT.


The development of the law relat-
ing to automobiles has been as phe-
nomenal as the development of the
automobile industry itself. Text
books. statutes and court decisions
that owe their existence to this COM
paratively new field of industry, and
deal exclusively with ii, represent the
equivalent of many hundreds of vol
umes and actually amount to many
hundreds of thousands of pages of
printed material.
That practically everybody is very
deeply affected by this new and ever
growing field of law is a proposition
that probably looks like journalistic
exaggeration 0f there is such a
euphemistic modification of the truth, =,
but as will be seen from the series
Of articles which will appear in Sat-
urday's Automotive Section of The
Times each week. and of which this
is the second, the statement made
will bear the severest test.
In this series il is proposed to get
the meat" out of the law relating to
automobiles and to present 1t in such
form that II will interest, instruct
and help Times readers in the great
variety of situations which arise from
time to time out of the ownership,
use. sale, purchase, manufacture, re
pair or storage of automobiles, or
from the conditions due to the general
use of automobiles in the variegated
complications of our daily existence.
Something of the historical develop
ment of vehicular traffic frequently
crops out in connection with the
many legal problems arising out of
the use OF automobiles. Note, for ex-
ample. this interesting situation as
disclosed by a recent decision of the
supreme court OF New Hampshire.
In the State named a toll bridge
company was Incorporated in the year
1T95- Its charter expressly provides
the scale of charges for traffic passing
over the bridge, and under the law it
