NEAR FIVE BILLION
AUTO PASSENGERS
Four Times the Traffic OF
Steam Roads Carried by
Motor Vehicles.

Automobile passenger travel neared
che 5000, 100000 mark in 1920. Fully
t.ss2,ooo,ooo persons were carried by
motor chr during this period. as com
pared with the 1.234.222Ysss revenue
passengers OF the railroads.
Motor trucks hauled 1900. ooo. 900 tons
OF freight. or nsariy half the amount
carried by rail- lines. which totalled
2,5ol.oOo.o 900 tons.
The growth OF the automobile business
has not been competitive with the rail-
roads, however. Much OF II Is directly
tributary, as I'm bringing both passen-
gers and freight from farm to train, and
In suburban service to cities. Another
large field for highways transport when
not directly tributary 20 railroad is the
travel from point TO point over short
haul distances where there Is no other
means of communication.
The motor car passenger figures In
creased 40o, 900. 900 during 1920, duo 70
the gain In motor vehicle registration.
At the Same time the railroads showed
n gain of 0.000, 900 revenue passengers.
The motor car passenger figures are
based on the United States Bureau OF
Public Roads registration OF approxi-
nateiy 100000 passenger cars tdeduc-
ton allowed for State not registering
trucks separately. From this as a
basis the passengers are estimated az
two a car per day, with an average use
OF 500 days q year. The railroad figures
nre from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

MANY CHANGES IN
MOTOR LAWS
Fire ExtinguisherS Compulsory
on 0mnibuses Carrying
More Than Ten.

New York State has about dozen
new laws Of interest to its automobilists
as a result Of the last session Of the
Legislature. during which perhaps fifty
motor vehicle bills were introduced.
ranging all the way from a Statewide
operators bill down to some meausre Of
local interst Only three motor vehicle
bills remain in the batch OF thirty day
bills on which Gov. Miller must act be-
fore Monday night
During the past week the Governor
has approved motor vehicle measure
which makes the use OF fire extinguishers
Immediately compulsory as a part of the
eqipment on all omnibuses with a ca
pacity Of ten or more persons.
Another measure signed this week ex-
empts from a chauffeur's license those
who drive a truck owned by a town and
employed on road work
Another measure of interest to dealers
and users OF trailers places these We
hicles In the same class as automobiles
in so far as the use Of dealers plates
and the sale is concerned. Another bill
just signed and effective July ! amends
the highway law relative to the dispo-
sition of motor vehicle registration fees
for the construction and Improvement
of town and county highways
BY far the most important bill from
an automobile standpoint signed by the
Governor is the one transferring the
automobile bureau from the Secretary
of States office to the new Tax Conn
mission on July /. Aside from the mere
transfer, there are many important
changes affecting motorists generally.
such as the distribution of plates by
county clerks. except in New York and
Albany, the changing of the automobile
year to January l, and the chauffeur's
year to July / giving magistrates In
first, second and third class cities as
well as county judges, the power of re-
vocation and suspension. The Tax Com
mission is now busy in making its plans
for conducting the automobile bureau,
the head of which is yet to be named.
Some little time ago the Governor
signed three other motor vehicle bills,
one relating to the sale Of car. the
second to local ordinances governing
speeding and the third to suspension and
revocation of licenses.

Proper fabrication.

The term proper fabrication has no
very exact meaning for the average
car owner. and yet II can be defined
exactly. 1t means the quality of oil
needed by the Individual part, supplied
in the proper quantity, neither too
little nor too much, and changed with
sufficient frequency to keep Il in con-
dition to function properly. This latter
condition carries with It the implica.
tion that the crank case or other part
shall be flushed out with kerosene be-
fore new oil is put in. From all this
Il will be seen that the car owner must
devote some study TO the particular
needs of his particular vehicle in order
to master the fabrication needs OF the
car.

the bookmaker that no such betting
slip could be found. Therefore he
(the bookie) certainly couldn't pay out
$4,000. A pop-eyed row followed.
Most Are Honest.
This, fortunately for the public. is a
rare case. The vast bulk of the book
makers are honest. They don't WEIGH
as a permanent proposition. Once in
a while some of them get an awful
smash from the public, go broke and
owe money to their patrons. But in a
few weeks they are usually back again
with a new bankroll and pay off every
dollar they owe
But in case of an argument as to
whether or not the patron made bet
the bookmaker has the best of 1t.
The group Of bookmakers are bene-
fitted by the law which prohibits bet
ting-and yet permits it. In the old
days when so or 100 different book
makers operated in competition they
sought the publics trade by offering
juicy and still jucier odds. Very fire.
quently one bookmaker, in an effort to
attract patrons, would offer six to one
against horse that was quoted at
three TO one in other books.
But now, bookmakers seem banded
together: there is no competition and
as result, the public gets the worst
of it. The gamblers fix the prices tc
suit themselves-and they fix them sc
it is an absolute cinch that the public
gets the worst of it as far as odds are
concerned.
The only remedy as far as the pro
lection of the public is concerned, i:
the legalizing of betting in New Yorl
state-which would be mere form o.
action anyway-so that Rookie" com

the public would be given receipts fol

BY FRANK G. MENKE

Nothing is more farcical than the
law in New York state which pro-
hibits race track betting-and then
permits it with reckless abandon.
You're told that betting isn't legal
in New York-and yet you can go to
any of the race tracks and bet a mil
lion dollars a day If you care to
plunge to such an extent
Years ago during the gubernatorial
regime of Charles Hughes a reform"
wave swept over the commonwealth.
1t engulfed the horses, and washed
them right out of existence. And
there was no racing in New York for
many years.
Those who loved the horses and
had the breeding industry of the thor
oughbred at heart, worked unceasing-
ly to restore racing in the Empire
state. Realizing that where there is
no betting, there is no interest in turf
clashes-and remembering the law
they conceived the idea of the oral
betting which was put into vogue
when the horses came back some sea-
sons ago.
Whispered Bets
The original scheme of oral betting
probably intended that no money at
all was TO be exchanged within the
race course. If you went out to the
track and knew man who would
take your bets. you were privileged
! to whisper or write those bets to him
and the next day there would be a set
| Element. If you had a losing day, you
| paid him; if the lost, he kicked in to
| you
| It's difficult now. Money is passed
openly on all the tracks, before racing
and after racing Betting is almost as
open as it used to be in the olden
days.
/ Prior to the running of the first race
the public steps forth, hunts up its
favorite bookmaker and implants with
in his palm a certain sum of money
That's the stake put up for the days
wagering. After the last race, the
public locates the bookmaker or his
cashier, under the stands or probably
right out on the lawn and the settling
tup process takes place.
If your credit is good you don't have
to put up money. If you lose, yot
mail check that night or pay in casl
the next day. If you win you get {
check.
Must Trust Eookie.
The system, therefore, is public
wagering without the former conven
fence of backing stalls. The book
maker has all the best of it unde
present day betting. The public mus
trust implicitly in the honesty ant
! non-welching possibilities for, whel
? you bet, you write out the slip which
records the wager. You hand it to tn
hookmaker. You get no receipt; yor
. get nothing to show that you eve
t made the bet Sometimes men max
: bets, get wildly enthusiastic owe
their winnings-only to learn, the mex
day, that the bookmaker lost" the sli
/ and therefore there was no bet.
