A. A. A. TAXES STAND
FOR N. Y. MOTORISTS
Opposes Proposed Bills at AL
bany That Discriminate
Against New Workers..

Motor vehicle owners IN this state and
especially New York city have impor-
tant interests involved in the proposed
legislation now before the Legislature
at Albany. One bill in particular dis
eliminates against motorists OF this city,
lnasmuch as its provisions are applicable
only to them.
The plan to have the present Legisla-
ture adopt a Statewide law requiring
all operators of motor vehicles to
undergo an examination az to their Mt
ness to drive and to take out license
Mt an annual fee OF 81 has now been
changed SO that II becomes applicable
only In the case OF motorists resident
In New York city. 1t Is true that the
latter are already Disseminated against
In that they take out similar license
at an annual fec OF 81, and during 1918
paid a total Of 100000 to the state
under tho provisions Of this particular
Jaw.
The present law also provides that
motorists residing outside OF New York
city may drive in the city for ten days
during each calendar year without talk
ing out this special New York city
license. There has, however. been no
check on this ten day clause, ~ that
nonresident motorists have used our
streets freely without contributing TO
tht epcSitii lax phlu py view CITY
motorists The proposed change In this
law not only doubles the fee but calls
for a special examination and eliminates
the ten day clause. The latter point has
aroused the hotel and department store
interests who zee their out OF town
motor trade threatened. There may be
difference OF opinion - to whether
all drivers of automobiles should be
examined and licensed. but there can
be no question OF tho unfairness of
singing out tho motorists OF this city
and forcing them alone TO take the
examination and bear the added tax
burden. SIS
There also has been introduced in
both branches Of the State Legislature
a new bill which provides for an in
crease OF 100 per cent in the license
tax Of all automobiles whose horse-
power 10 rated between 10 and 25. This
places these cars In the Same class as
those with horse-powers exceeding rs. II
Is not improbable that this bill may
follow the same course as the owners
driving license bill and In the end be
made applicable only to the city of New
York. In these, as in many other re-
'ated matters. the A. A. A. Metropolitan
Division IL striving hard TO serve the
interests OF New York city motorists.

NAVY USES THE
ELECTRIC DRIVE
owen Magnetic Car Officials
Inspect the Superdread-
nOught New Mexico.

Knowing Of their unusual interest ana
success In the sale Of the owen Mag
hetio car with Its wonderful Entz
transmission Lieut. Commander r. w.
clark L. s. N, superintendent OF ord
nance at the Brooklyn navy yard, en-
tert1ined members of the owen
MAGNETIC Sales Corporation aboard the
new superdreadnought New Mexico
last Wednesday to show them how the
same principle OF electric drive was ap-
piled most successfully to the nayy's
crack ship. The visitors were shown
how $4,000 ton monster was con-
troued by four small levers with nmaz-
Ing simplicity. quietness. cleanliness and
SWIFT certainty. and also Just how the
wonderful installation compared with
that of the owen Magnetic car
The navy mans guests were Fred
Tltus, sales manager: Walter Ramsay,
Wholesale manager. and Capt. Fred
Crooks. late of the Ordnance Depart
ment of the United States Army and
now member of the owen Magnetic
sales department.

is an oil burner. with turbine engines
and the electric drive. Washington
looks Upon her with high favor and
the men aboard are just crazy about
her. Tho latter say she has II over
any other ship In the world for sim
pllcity, cleanliness, quietness and lack
OF vibration. and all because she L.,
electrically controlled down to the very
last mechanical detail. She will do
twenty-five of the smoothest knots ever
reeled Off by n ship because of her
electric drive. Electric control also

the condensers that convert $1,000 gal
Ions OF salt water into fresh water
every twenty-four hours. She is a great
electric power house, with everything
so thoroughly coordinated that one can
do multitude. of things by simply
pressing a single button. And every
thing is certain In its action--it must be
certain because the lives Of 400 men
and the safety of a 100000 floating
fortress depend at all times upon this
certainty.
OF course the visitors spent most of
the time below decks. looking over the
remarkable installation that cost S.
100000 and comparing 1t. unit by unit,
with the drive of the owen Magnetic
car. which is identical In principle. 1t
was not difficult to establish a unity
between the two. although the massive
ness of the battleship's installation was
at all times amazing.
The absence OF heavy shafting and
connecting rods and tons of steel for
other parts eliminated from the ship by
the electric system corresponded to the
absence of clutch and gears in the
automobile. The lack of vibration and
the general quietness of operation were
alike in ship and automobile because of
the elimination of clashing gears and
the introduction in their place OF the
smooth and quiet application of power
to the propeller shafts through their
respective magnetic fields.

COLE AERO 5 SHOWS
RACING METTLE
Performs Remarkable Feats
in Cuban and South Ameri-
can Racetracks.

Automobile racing events of the last
eighteen months have been confined. be-
cause OF tho war. to Cuba and South
America
These have been more or less Of an
impromptu nature, but the results, never
theless. have been gratifying to certain
American manufacturers. The compet-
ton was largely between stock cars.
Reports from these races which have
reached Russell Engs, the local distr' btu
ter, disclose that the Cole Aero-Eight,
manufactured by the Cole Motor Car
Company of Indianapolis. was most
consistent winner. During the racing
season In Cuba and South American
countries the Cole Aero. Eight shattered
one record after another.
One OF it's most notable feats was the
lowering of the dirt track record at ORR
entail Park, Havana. The Cole Aero
Eight clipped three seconds per lap of
the record established by Bob Burman
in his Bitten Benz a few years back.
The feat was the more remarkable when
It Is considered that the Cole Aero
Eight was a stock car, while that driven
by Burman was a special built racing
model.
In the $50 and 115 mile road races in
Montevideo, a standard Cole Aero-Eight
roadster ran away from all competition
and established records which were a
revelation to residents there.
The success of tho Cole Aero-Eight
in these speed tests Is attributed to it's
aero-type construction, combining as II
does extraordinary power and speed
with perfect balance in chassis and
body design.
While increasing the speed and power
of the motor Cole engineers have ma
terlally decreased the weight of the car
and so designed the chassis and body
as to reduce wind resistance II per cent
AS a result a car which combines almost
unlimited power. a speeo Of seventy miles
per hour. smooth riding qualities, utility
and comfort has been achiveded.

BIG IRRIGATION RESERVOIR
PLANNED FOR CARSON RIVER

Reclamation construction engineers
visited the headwaters of the Carson
river recently, where they looked over
the site for a proposed dam which is
TO be situated at Horseshoe Bend, some
ten miles above Gardnerville on the
east fork Of the river. Should this
project go through it will empound
enough water 10 irrigate approx
mately 80, 000 additional acres of land
not under cultivation or irrigation at
the present time.
When asked about this project State
Engineer ~Scrugham stated hal it was
one of the undertakings that the gov
eminent would eventually handle. He
was of the opinion that there would
not be much land available for settle
ment to homesteaders or soldiers and
sailors. as most OF this land comes
beyond the maximum price set by the
government in it's schedule for soldier
settlements.-ICarson News.

ARE CAUSE
OF AUTO ACCIDENTS

During the first four months Of
the calander year." said the assistant
to the general manager of the South
ern Pacific, our records show that
of the Isl grade crossing accidents
involving automobiles, 20 stalled on
the crossing and were struck by the
trains; 6S attempted to cross almost
Immediately in front of and were
struck by trains; SO ran into the side
of trains or cars; 16 ran into and
broke down crossing gates lowered
to protect them from passing trains;
one skidded into the side OF car or
train; n ran down and injured a
crossing t1agman; four ran into sig
nal posts; five were involved in acct
dents of miscellaneous character.
Nine deaths and As injuries resulted.
Many of these accidents occurred
where there was wide range of vision.
and all of them at cross.ngs protected
either by warning signs. audible and
visual signals, crossing gates, or flag
men.
DRIVERS of automobiles probably do
not realize that a train running fifty
miles an hour requires less than a
fourth of a minute to run one fifth of
a mile. Then, too. the driver may
have his mind occupied with the OPP
Grafton of his machine or may be con-
yersing or carry on a conversation
with some other occupant Of the car
and with his mind thus distracted,
proceeds to cross the track without
making any effort to determine
whether he may do so safely.
Mistakes made in working levers,
due to excitement or confusion, may
account for some of the accidents.
| believe, however. hat the primary
cause of most grade crossing accidents
is lack of knowledge of the danger or
lack Of attention to essential duties
supplemented by indiscretion or lack
of experience on the part of the
driver.
with trains running at varying
speeds in both directions throughout
the day and night, no driver should
attempt to cross the track of a rail
road at grade without first making
sure that it may be done safely. stop
