Motorists Join
In Curbing the
Reckless Driver
''Hun of the Road To Be
Driven Off by Concerted
Action of Automobiles
in the New League

Incorporation papers have been is
sued by Francis NJ. Hugo, Secretary of
State, covering the League for Motor
lists Protection, which is an organiza-
ton of automobile owners banded to-
gether to cope with speed maniacs and
reckless drivers, who have been desig-
Road.' The organization is headed by
Harry W. CASTOR, president of the
Lexington Motor Company of New
York. The temporary Offices will be
at Is West Sixty-frst Street until per-
manent quarters can be got. James v
Boise, manager of the Chatham and
Phenix Bank, Broadway and Sixty
first Street, is the league treasurer.
Speaking of the scope and purposes
of the league, Mr.. CASTOR says:
"Since the inception of my connec-
ton with the automobile industry in
New York l have silently watched the
growing menace of reckless driving. A
certain class of taxi drivers, truck
chauffeurs and speed kings. who have
the instincts of gunmen without their
courage. are daily making the lives of
law abiding motorists and citizens
thought in mind I went to Albany
Mr.. Hugo, Secretary of State, who
ogreod that it has been impossible for
the duly accredited officers of the law
to curb this growing menace, because
the number of officers is necessarily
limited and they cannot be in all
places at one time
Furthermore, these shrewd outlaws,
who have converted the public high
ways into Belgian turnpikes, have a
way Of resorting to their acts of vi
cious recklessness when no officer of
the law happens to be at hand. 1t has
been very easy for them to escape
arrest and conviction because the Off
GERS of the law are in uniform and are
easily located in advance.
"Under the plan of the League for
Motorists Protection every man car
ries upon the front and rear of his
league entitled The Red Badge of Cau-
ton and bears further the announce
ment that the member observes eau
tion and demands caution from others.
These emblems have been copyright
ed by the league and will be licensed
TO members on the understanding that
the license will be revoked if a mem
Der is convicted of the more fragrant
violations of the traffic laws. This
naturally Will restrain the member
from acts of recklessness and at the
same time the realization that each
and every member will be pledged to
report any infraction of the traffic
laws to the headquarters of the league
will exert a powerful restraint upon
taXicab drivers, truck chauffeurs and
speed kings who are not eligible for
membership.
81 am one of those old-fashioned
folks who believe that law and religion
are nothing more nor less than re-
straining influences. The present ex-
istng laws are, of course, more or
less restraining in their nature, but,
as stated, the restraining influence is
limited because the agents for law en-
forcement are not abroad in sufficient
numbers. This is admitted both by
state and city authorities charged with
the responsibility of enforcing the
traffic laws.
with 10000 to $4,000 members of
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29

the League for Motorists Protection
abroad at all times in various portions
of the metropolitan district wilful
violators of the traffic laws would
soon realize that any and all overt
acts of theirs would be witnessed by
one or more law-abiding motorists
whose desire and duty would be to re-
port such acts to league headquarters.
In due time these Huns of the Road
woulc be served with warning
against repetition of such reckless
ness, and if they persisted they would,
under the cooperation we are assured
of, be banished from the highways
and their licenses revoked
There have been various organiza-
tions formed in the past for the pur-
pose of furnishing good roads informa-
ton, maps, etc, enabling the members
to buy assurance and accessories at cut
rates and offering to do everything for
the motorists except giving them
periodical bath, but would like to
have it clearly understood that the
League for Motorists Protection is
strictly and essentially non-proft
organization, designed to do only one
thing, but to do that thing we'll. name
~, to drive the Hun from the road
so that our wives, mothers and sisters
the everlasting fear that road auto
Gratis will bring them to grief and pos
sibly succeed in placing the response
bllity upon the innocent party.
This league will also have for its
purpose the elimination of the pro-
fessional witness and the ambulance
chaser and the correction of many
other evils that exist. Of course, it
would not be proper to set forth in
public way all of the activities of the
league in affording the members and
the public in general the protection
they crave, but assure you that there
is meat upon which we feed that We
know not of, and the kind of meat will
be fully described to any one desirous
of becoming identified with the league.
"The yearly dues are insignificant in
comparison to the work the league will
do. No officer will receive a salary,
and, as heretofore stated, the league
will not engage in any business on its
own accord to seek to promote the
business of others. 1t is strictly a
body organized for the purpose of af-
fording protection on the highways
through the more efficient enforcement
Of existing laws by cooperation with
the accredited authorities"

War Trucks
W Working ON
Good Roads lob
Eastern States Get Most of
First Vehicles Allotted for
Highways; Tractors To Be
Started at the Task. Too

States taking advantage of the Fed
eral road aid act are receiving sub
stantial additional assistance from the
government through the distribution of
10000 trucks by the War Department
for good roads work, according to the
B. r. Goodrich Rubber Company.
Allotments Of the first 1886 army
trucks have been made. Most of them
will be distributed to states east of
the Mississippi. Later Western states
will receive shipments from Western
points, thereby balancing up the quo
tas and eQualizing as near as possible
the freight charges, which is the only
item of expense to be borne by the
state excepting, of course, operation
and upkeep expense.
The trucks turned over to the Bu
reau of Public Roads, Department Of
Agriculture, are part of the 81 900
which were recently declared surplus
by the War Department, and are val
ued at $45,O00,0 900 and include l. 600
new and 5000 used vehicles ranging
from two to five ton capacity, all in
serviceable condition. They must be
used for good roads work, and will be
apportioned to states only upon re-
ment on the basis Of the financial aid
under the Federal road act.
The five states receiving the largest
allotment of the trucks already as
signed are: Texas, 321; New York,
273; Pennsylvania, ESQ; Illinois, 240,
and South Dakota, 100.
In keeping with the War Department
plan to turn over all available ma
terial not needed for it's own work to
good roads building several hundred
tractors, formerly used for hauling
heavy guns, will be transferred to the
Department of Agriculture as soon as
an inventory has been completed.

day education depends upon trans
