But this is not so. Really, one should carry with
him a leaned lawyer, one especially gifted in the
matter Of statutes duly passed, approved and finally
interpreted by the higher court.
This legal addition to automobile accessories is
something the automobile driver of the future must take
into consideration. And every tool-box should be
equipped with all the latest municipal ordinances and
state laws of the territory traVersed. This will help
wonderfully in keeping out of jail.
For there are more automobile laws in existence to-
day than the average mOtorist could read in a month
Of Sundays.
But that isn't the worst. The Nations Business
says 5000 hew automobile measures will be introduce
cd in the AZ state Legislatures meeting in January.
And no doubt when the legislators get into action
they'll think up a lot more laws to hurl at the motorist.
They always do.
David Jameson, president of the American Auto
mobile association, makes an earnest and much needed
plea for uniform traffic laws which will permit the
man from California to travel anywhere else in the
United States without a covert feeling that somehow
he is breaking a law of some sort.
Uniform laws, and better law enforcement, are Of
greater Importance than another hatful Of new laws.
This should impress itself upon upon AZ state leSi'-
~letures this winter.

This is. a distinct step backward, for in the days
before the Civil war and in some parts of the country
since that war lies, calumnies and the tactics of the
gutter were prominent features of our political cam

politics mounted steadily to a better plane. and if the

Man, Alive and
Kicking, Reads His
Own Death Notice

Anity, Ore. Nov. 9.-Professor
NJ. S. Taylor, who for two years was
the principal Of the Amity schools,
completing his last term here last
summer, and who since has been in
charge of the Fail Festival Chau-
tauqua for the Ellison White peo-
pie, had the experience Of reading
his own obituary recently.
While pursuing his work a few
weeks ago in San Francisco he,
with ten other men, took lunch at
a terminal station in that city and
Immediately after they were all
stricken with ptomaine poisoning
and rushed to hospital.
OF the number stricken one died
on one side of Mr.. Taylor and an
other died on the other side of him
during the night. Mr.. Taylor was SO
near gone that when newspaper
reporter called he heard the doc
tor tell Mr.. Taylor that he would
also be dead before long. Mr.. Tay-
lor tried to tell them different but
could not utter a sound. However,
it nerved him up and he fought for
his life so hard that fnr was still
alive the next morning when the
doctor noticed him and gave him
some medicine and managed to pull
him through.
Thus it happenedi that he read
| his own death notice as the reporter
took him as good as dead when he
called. Mr.. Taylor is home at pres
, ent in Newberg visiting with his
family,

Silyerton Mill
Reduces Wages

Silyerton Nov. 19.-Feeling that
employees should have a voice In
affairs which concern them, the
Silverton Lumber company, it IS
said, left it for their employees to
decide whether the mill would
suspend operation indefinitely or
the men submit to reduction in
wages. According to reports on the
street last evening the question
was put to a vote and it was al
most the unanimous choice of la
borers that wages be reduced. In
the future pay checks from that
concern will be 20 per cent less
than in former weeks since the
war. For some time the mill has
been in operation only five days
in each week. 1t was expected that
the company would continue in
this manner most Of the winter,
but conditions made 1t necessary.
It is said, to make a reduction in
wages or shut down the mill. For
the present the mill will continue
five days in the week, 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the mill
will shut down sometime during
the winter pending a general over
hauling. H3lxa
The Silver Falls Timber COM
pany mill has been shut down for
some time, but small crew has
been worked in the planer de-
partment and other parts of the
mill. There has been no reduction
in the scale of wages here, but it
g reported that a cut will be
made soon.
