Farm Tractors Do Not
Require Motor License

In reply to an inquiry received
from Cliff Mitchell of Martin, Ca,
the ruling has been made by S. G.
McLendon, secretary of state, that
farm tractors are not subject to the
motor vehicle license tax, even when
they are used to pull wagons on the
public highways.
Mr. Mitchell wrote him that nu-
merous farmers around Martin are
making use of their farm tractors
to haul gUano and other loads on
their wagons, and they were not GER
tain whether it would be necessary
for them to register and obtain IL
censes.
Secretary McLendon holds that the
motor vehicle license law does not
mention tractors, and hence they
are exempt from the law under the
principle that where a statute of
taxation leaves room for doubt, the
burden is removed from the citizen.

Young Boy Wins
Prize as Judge
A. Cattle Show

"A REGINA. Sask., Sept. 620.-Ed-
ward TroendeI, of Windthorst, Sask.,
fifteen years old, is acclaimed as the
champion boy Judge of livestock in
western Canada. He. achieved this
distinction at the Regina fair, where
in a stock judging contest among
boys he won the grand aggregate
prize with score sof 353 points in
q possible 400.
His competitors were more than
100 boys, whose ages ranged from
eleven to fifteen years, selected from
600 who have been studying agricul-
ture this summer in farm boys
camp near Regina. This practical
school was established by the Sas-
katchewan department Of agriculture
backed by the Canadian National
Railways and Livestock Breeders as
sociations of the provice and it's
teachers are professors Of the provin-
cial college of agriculture. The boys
are taught care of livestock and
scientific cultivation OF the soil.
Young Troendel's, critical ability
may be gagged when it is said that
the competition included the judging
of all varieties of cattle, sheep and
swine. With the close of the school
encampment the boys will be encour-
aged to invest their savings in
calf, lamb or young pig and to raise
the animals themselves without as
sistance from their elders. Next year
prizes are to be offered at the fairs
at Regina and Saskatoon for the best
animals raised by the boys Other
prizes will be offered for the best
grain and soil products grown from
seed distributed by the department
of agriculture.
This educational campaign has as
its purpose the development of a
live interest in farm work among the
boys and in fostering spirit that
will hold them on the farm.

Auto Accidents
Increasing at
Alarming Rate

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-With Stats
ties showing that automobile acct
dents are killing men, women and
children at an average of one every
thirty-five minutes, the ninth annual
safety council, at its sessions in Mil
waukee September 81 to October l.,
will devote much attention to this
serious situation. sv
In st. Louis, Cleveland and other
cities local councils of the national
safety council have already reduced
the number of automobile accidents
by the united efforts of, public Of
ficials, civic organizations and public
spirited citizens, and it is planned to
make the work nationwide In scope
s. J. Williams, secretary and chief
engineer OF the national safety coun-
Gil, is. authority for the statement
that three times as many are killed
in all public accidents as in all in
dustrial accidents, including rail-
roads, mines, public utilities, con-
struction work, ETC., as we'll as fac
tories. According to present indica-
lions and the experience of past
years, the number of automobile ia
talities in 1920 will be about two
thirds of all industrial facilities.
This situation is alarming enough
without exaggeration. The most
alarming feature of it is that. while
industrial accidents have been de-
creasing, due to the energetic safety
work, Of the large Industrial com
panies which are members of the ma
tional safety council, and while the
public accidents on steam and cleo
trio railroads have been decreasing
as q result of similar work, the num-
Der of automobile accidents has been
increasing very rapidly. Figures Just
compiled for the national safety
council by the statistical department
of a large life insurance company
show that the death rate from rail-
way accidents per million of popula-
ton has decreased in ten years from
100 to los; from street railway acct
dents, from SO to %; from accidents
on other vehicles, from Al to q;
while the death rate from automobile
accidents has increased in ten years
from 8 to 90. The latter figure was
reached in 1918, and recent figures
from the larger cities indicate that
the rate is still going up.
