TIRE MILEAGE
SyNDER WAY AGAIN

The touring season is nearly here
and will bring with it the fight be-
tween tires and mileage. During the
winter the motorist drives with care,
but on long tours there is the
temptation to keep as near the maxi
mum speed limit as the law allows.
Therefore the driver should take
extra precautions. so he may secure
the most satisfactory results from
his tires, which accounts for large
part Of the upkeep of car.
To give the best results a tire must
hold it's contour, which is given by
the uniform pressure of the inner
tube. This makes the use of high
grade tube as important as the tire
itself, for if the tube is porous or con-
tains Slow leaks the tire becomes
soft and loses the ability to resist the
wear.
The tourist should think of the
hard service required of the tire on
long journeys; it is constantly grind
ing on the roads, which are smooth,
rough, hard, soft, dry or wet. Heat
and cold due to changing weather
conditions also affect the tire. There
are the various strains caused by
weight; the car may be driven fast.
then slow; the tire must endure all
these things.
The following suggestions will help
prolong the life of the tire.
Keep all tires well inflated, sup
ported by sufficient air pressure to
withstand the many blows and OBJ
stacles met with.
Drive slowly around the corners,
so the weight of the car is evenly
distributed and not thrown on two
wheels.
Avoid ruts: They chafe the side
walls of the tires and sometimes jab
the wall, which causes bruise and
shortens the life of the tire.
Avoid sharp substances, such as
glass and tin cans; drive slowly over
new macadam and stone road.
Do not apply the brakes too sud-
denly; it locks the wheels and wears
the tread; the friction with the roads
also bruises the tire.
Keep the wheels in alignment, SO
the tire may run with ready and
regular motion.

GASOLINE TAX
FOR ECONOMY


WASHINGTON, D. c., May g.
If the state of California should fol-
low the example of Oregon and levy
q tax on gasoline consumption au-
tomobilists living in the state woulc
at once feel keener realization OF
the necessity of gasoline economy.
The increasing demand on the
part of the American motoring public
for lightweight cars and the gradual
reduction in weight by most of the
car manufacturers in response to
that demand, presents an inter-
esting study when viewed in the
light of the legislation which one
state already has adopted, namely
tax on gasoline consumption.
Oregon is the first of the states
to enact such legislation, according
to information collected by govern
ment officials here. Instead of the
usual registration tax based on
horsepower rating, the Oregon motor
ist is assessed cent gallon on
motor vehicle fuel and Y cent a
gallon on distillate. The new law
went into effect March 1, 1919, and
for the 1O-month period up to Jan.
1, 1920, there was collected from
some $4,000 automobiles $780, ,795.
It is estimated that the 1920 revenue
will exceed half million dollars.
According to officials of. the Ore
gon State Motor association the tax
has met with almost universal ap-
proval. Motor fuel taxation has
been in effect in the British. isles
for some time and it has the in
dorsement of the Automobile and
Motor Union of Great Britain. The
entire scheme is predicated upon the
theory that the highway is public
utility conferring general advan-
tage upon all classes of citizens, and
that all who share in the advantages
should pay proportionate part of the
upkeep and original cost.
If this particular bit of legislation
now on the statute books of Oregon
should be copied by the other states
of the Union it is obvious that the
subject of gasoline economy, which
even now is being given careful at
tention by all thoughtful motorists
will be very real and vital subject.
Apart from any further legislation
the price of gasoline has been rising
so steadily of late that as result
the present day owner is no longer
satisfied with 10 or IL miles to the
gallon, but insists upon receiving Is
or % at the least

A pair of motorists near Ukiah
Calf, went coyote hunting in an au-

to cross the road in front of them
whereup they swerved off into the
brush after it, ran it down to it's lair
shot it, and collected $68 bounty.-.i
At least the story was printed in q
San Francisco paper, so it must be
true.
