League will be held at Richlands,

organized and are diligently looking
after their own interests and unless
the law abiding citizens and those
who are interested in the proper OBJ
servance Of law, take hand and
work together to establish law and
order, we shall soon have no decent
regard for any law. And this ia not
idle talk. One Of the most prominent

about these things, said a few days

THE AUTOMOBILE AND THE
RAILROAD.
(Cincinnati Times-Starl

: tCinclnnatl I1mes-Star.)
1t Is hard to appraise anything
while it is happening, particularly
when it is happening everywhere.
The automobile il in point. The fact
tnat IN 1920 there were 9,2ll 1886
cars registered in this country
sounds impressive, but you need to
compare it to something else in or.
der TO glimpse It's meaning.
The automobiles have passed the
railroads in total seating capacity
in annual expenditure for upkeep, in
the toll of life they take. The Amer.
lean people spent $6,000,000,0 1000 for
operation, maintenance and deprecin.
ton charges for their cars in 1920
according to the Railway Age. This
IS nearly twice what they spent In
1919 fos railroad Freight, nearly six
tlmes what they spent for passenge,
fares. 1t Is eight times what it cosl
to run our Government before wt
entered the World War and NOR,
than it costs now. There are no ma
tional figures for automobile casual
ties, but those from New York cit,
support the inference that for ever,
.ifu taken by n railroad train, a
:east two are taken by motor car
in Cincinnati in 1918 there were a.
deaths in railroad accidents and s.
in auto accidents. In one item tn
railroads still lead. They pay twioo
tho amount in taxes, exclusive o
war taxes, that the automobiles pa,
IN registration and license fees
this because they run on prlvat
rights Of way, not on public high
ways.
Other significances can not be ex
pressed in figures, such us the crea
tion Of national and local roads; tn
use of automobiles for highway rob
berry, smuggling and bootleggine
the cumulative stimulation of no
madic tendencies. Whittier the ae
as going it does not know, but tn
tires are firm beneath, it and tn
road invites. 1t is on the way.
