Uniform Motor

Touring is the motorists great
est ambition. To view the wonders
of this great country from a COM
Portable motor car is surely the ideal
way to travel-the vacation SUI
preme.
Most tourist travel will be great
er this year than ever before. More
money is being invested in good
roads than in any previous year. The
desire is to climb into ones motor
car and head for the national high
ways may be gratified this year with
a maximum of roadway inconven-
fence.
The national mind is aroused to
the necessity for good roads not only
because of the pleasureable delights
afforded by them but because Of the
utility purposes they serve.
l would like to see the various
states get together and adopt uni
form laws governing motor car ira
vel. There should be no difference
in the restrictions imposed by one
state from them imposed by another
state.
There are certain sane and sensi-
BILE rules of the road that should and
must be followed. These rules are

mud there is another thing you do
that shortens the life of the machine.
You speed up the engine and throw
the clutch in, thinking to boost it
out, and perhaps you do, but at high
cost, for that hurts your machine
more than many miles of speeding
along on good roads under conditions
that a machine is built to meet.
While you are thinking about
roads and how to preserve them, re-
member that Bingham county has
two million dollars invested in cars

bond roads. Let's not be worrying
about the one and ignoring the other.

Blowing Whistle
Is Cause Comment

The prolonged blowing Of q whis-
tie Tuesday morning on one Of the
o. S. L. engines caused no little COM
ment concerning the cause. For fully
ten minutes the whistle blew and ev-
cry minute another theory as to the
cause was advanced. A number in
sisted that 1t was in celebration Of the
declaring of war against Germany,
some that it was because it was the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in the month, and still others
thought it because a robin was seen
with an angleworm in its beak.
Investigation found that the whis-
tie had become clogged and was en-
tirely unintentional on the part of
the train crew.

Car Waste is Worse

After all that has been said about
wasting money on roads by possible
mistakes in construction, by driving
in ruts and by speeding, there is one
way in which the drivers of cars are
wasting money faster than in all
the possible waste of roads and road
money. The man who drives over
the roads and talks about how much
they cost and how it ought to have
been done, and the man who sits
by his fireside and builds roads in
theory while his car rests on a wet
floor in the garage, both of these are
probably wasting wealth faster in
their way than the man who makes
mistakes in road building.
The rubber tires and tubes in a
car are pumped tight with air for
travel, and when resting in the
garage, are rotting rapidly at the
spot where the rubber rests on the
floor If the weight could be taken
off of the rubber while it remains
there it would not rot so rapidly,
and the use of little jacks to slip
under the hubs and lift the wheel
up few inches will protect the tires
of the future from this source of
damage. If you want to see how
rapidly rubber rots under a strain,
take little rubber band such as is
used for office work, snap it around
a package of letters or documents,
and then observe how easily it
breaks at the edge of the package
where it reaches around the corner,
after it has lain perfectly still for
a week or two. 1t will hold all right
until you touch it, and then it
breaks. That is the way a tire loses
life when it is blown up tight and
has the weight of car resting on
it. 1t rots where the pressure is on
both sides. And if the wheel rests

as applicable in Alaska as they are
in Alabama.
These common sense rules, OBJ.
vious to every motorist, should be
the basis for a uniform set of laws
making them in effect national mo-
tor laws. / know no one more eager
to obey rules and regulations than
the seasoned motorist. The laws
should be fully adequate so that life
and property receives constant pro-
lection, but they should be uniform
in every state.
In every state it is optional with
the motorist whether or not he stops
his motor car when approaching a
street or discharging or taking on
passengers. In other states there is a
heavy penalty for not stopping. In
Missouri, for a motorist to drive in
excess of twenty-five miles per hour
is considered evidence of reckless
driving. With all due respect to the
distinguished gentlemen who framed
this law, twenty-five miles per hour
should not, as every motorist knows,
be considered a reckless rate of
speed. OF course, one can drive
recklessly at twenty-five miles per
hour or at five miles per hour for
that matter, if one is insistent upon
being reckless.
In Kansas excess of forty miles
per hour is presumptive evidence of
guilt in case of accident. Compared
with most states the legislators Of
Kansas are speed merchants.
In Florida excess of twenty-five
miles per hour for one eighth Of a
mile is prima facie evidence of
speed greater than reasonable and
proper.
In Tennessee, the maximum legal
speed is twenty miles per hour, lib
orally construed" Sounds like a
joker was hidden there.
In many states local regulations
are prohibited while in others, as in
New York, cities of the first class
as New York City, Rochester and
Buffalo are permitted to adopt To-
cal speed laws.
Other municipalities in New York
state may establish a minimum
speed law of fifteen miles per hour
but the local authorities are bound
to erect signs for the information
of motorists.
There are various regulations for
headlights and spotlights. In New
Jersey, the use of spotlights is con-
fined to reading sign and house num-
bers. Mirrors are also required by
the New Jersey law so that the mo-
torist may view traffic in the rear.
The majority of the states do not
require lights on horse-drawn We
hicles. Such lights are required in
Ohio, Vermont, Washington and
Rhode Island.
The A. A. A. touring board has &C
wonders in the last few
years in the matter of uniform leg
Islation. There remains, however,
much for every motorist to do to
1efp establish uniform laws where
Up to the present they have not been
passed. If we all, each and every
'ne of us, use such influence as we
possess in the needed quarters, the
eventual result will be a uniform set
If laws.

The People Said

But people passing that way claim
to have seen men waiting with teams
or shovels idle while repairs were
being brought to the front or while
nothing was doing. Some of them
wired The Republican office that
men were wasting time and we had
better get out and attend to our du-
ty, for what were we here for, any
how?
The road people finally settled
matters by starting at the crusher
plant and travelling eastward and
hauling clay the long haul first, and
the short haul last, while they hauled
the gravel the short haul first and
the long haul last, finally arriving at
the Snake river bridge in triumph
with the finished road covered all
over with clay and gravel.
What the Record Says
From now on we copy verbatim
from the official record:
This was hauled with trucks. Cost
of screening and drawing and laying
and grading of gravel on Riverside
road from city limits to Riverside,
distance four miles, $36,437.42.
This is made up of a gravel road
consisting of three courses, the first
course or base gravel is a Ax-inch
course thoroly filled with clay we'll
mixed and wet and rolled into place.
The second course consisting of
two AND one-half inches Of fine grav-
ell wet and rolled till the clay from
the first course comes to the sur
face.

Save Your Engine

Speeding the engine till it vibrates
rapidly does great damage to it.
When you are starting your car and
getting it under Roadway, throw ii
into intermediate and into high as
soon as it gathers speed enough, or
else shut down the gasoline. Racing
the engine with the machine on low
or intermediate is one of the ways
in which machines are hurried along
toward the scrap pile. Then there
is another condition that is the re-
verse of this. When you are going
over a hill and are nearing the top
and your engine shows signs of
checking down, you let it churn
along thinking it will make it, and
so it does, but at high cost, for while
1t was chugging along trying to get
over it was straining itself and TAX
ing much damage. You should
throw it into intermediate or low to
avoid that strain. Anything that vi
brates your machine like high engine
speed or hard Struggle for the en-
glne, shortens the life Of your ma
chine.
