of amendments to the present
motor vehicle act.
The platform is summarized by
Mott as follows:
A uniform State vehicle law con-
trolling weight, tire and other or
Grating conditions, as well as uni
existing highways throughout the
State.
Extension of police powers to en-
force such a law to the California
State highway commission and to
all those charged with the
maintenance OF roads.
That the weight limit of truck
and load for four-wheeled vehicles
be $4,000 pounds; for siX-wheeled
vehicles with three axles, $4,000
pounds; and for truck, four wheeled
trailer and loads, total gross
weight of $4,000 pounds.
That the license, or tax. on
motor trucks be increased not to
exceed 100 per cent of the present
amount, in lieu of any other motor
vehicle tax, and that those operating
as common carriers and enjoying
a special privilege, should pay an
increased tax of not to exceed 100
per cent over and above this
amount, together with an increased
tax on passenger motor vehicles Of
not to exceed 100 per cent.
That measures for public safety,
such as proper lighting signaling
devices and connections for trailers
be incorporated in this law.
That the penalty include a clause
making a Jail sentence obligatory, in
the case of a habitual offender.

by RAY MCNAMARA.

A few weeks ago we discoursed
at length what constitutes good
braking efficiency. We all should
ne familiar with the fact that brakes
must be in good condition to make
a dead stop from twenty miles per
hour in twenty feet. At thirty-five
miles per hour 1t requires approx.
mately three feet per mile hour Of
speed or 1O5 feet to make a dead
stop, and at fifty miles per hour 200
feet or four feet per mile of speed.
This, OF course, varies according to
weight OF cars, tread Of tires and
surface of roads. However, famil-
iariZe yourself with your braking
efficiency and learn to Judge dis.
tanCe. A good driver should be able
to drive safely with poor brakes, for
If he knows how to judge distance,
he will start to slow up quicker for
obstacles in traffic. II brakes are
very poor, OF course, he will drive
at reduced speeds and take no
chances.
Ninety.nine per cent of automobile
accidents can be avoided by careful
driving. This Is positive fact.
Perhaps the, only real eXcusable &C.
Cident Is the one that happens when
some vital part breaks in connection
with the steering gear, wheels or
axles, and most breakage Of this
nature results from careless driving.
A large majority OF accidents hap
pen at high speed. High speed does
not always mean forty or fifty miles
per hour. Twenty miles per hour Is
considered high speed under certain
traffic conditions. For instance, the
majority of intersecting streets in
any average city usually run from
thirty-six to fifty feet OF pavement.
To approach intersections at twenty
miles per hour Is not so dangerous
providing the buildings set back
from thirty to fifty feet from the
curb. but in the case of buildings cx-
tending up to the sidewalk, you can
readily see the dangers OF accident
when a car approaches suddenly
from right when we know II takes
forty feet to make a stop II brakes
are in good condition. Therefore,
twenty miles per hour can be con.
sidered high speed in this case.

COUNTER WITH BAYONET
OR FEAR THEREOF-POST
WAR ANALYSIS

Washington, Feb. 14.-The
"doughboy' with a bayonet is still
the basic comJbatant unit in battles,
is the virtually unanimous judg-
ment Of the American army, Off
cially rendered in a cold, postwar
analysis. Aircraft, tanks, bombs,
machine guns and cannon merely
are valuable auxiliaries for the in
fantrymen Gin the bulk" armed
with rifle and bayonet, each foot
soldier aided only by "his own
ability and a steel helmet"
For 'tbattle is normally deter
mined by physical encounter with
the bayonet or the fear thereof"
the official conclusion of the army
made public today asserts. It is
based on answers. to a widespread
QUESTIONABLE sent recently thru
the war department bureaus and
out through corps and divisional
areas, even down to the command
ers of regiments to lay the ground
work for the rdoctrines of tactics
and Of training" on which postwar
building of the army shall proceed.
The answers were unmistakable.
There has been no change, SOL
diers who fought in France be-
heve, in the age old gospel of "cold
steel" in war. AS it was with Crom-
wells grim host bidding for vic
tory with "push or pike" with
Napoleon's Old Guard that "dies
but never surrenders," with Pick
ett's Flower of the South" at Get
tysburg, so it was with Pershing's
"Buddies" in France. Cold steel
was the ultimate arbiter of battle.
The conclusion follows: can ex-

modern scientific developments will
have upon the technique Of war

alton, motor transport and tanks, "
chiefs of all combat branches, had
their say on the QUESTIONABLE de-
signed "to bring out the best pres
ent military thought both on basic

MAY TAKE STAND
ON BONUS TAXES
DIVISION AMONG REPUBLl:
CANS AS TO BEST MEANS
FOR RAISING MONEY NEED
EXPOSITION OF ADMINI-
STRATION IN DOUBT

Washington, Feb. 14.-The posi-
tion of the administration as to
how the funds for the soldiers
bonus should he raised may be
made known to congress tomorrow.
President Harding and Secretary
Mellon had a conference today and
were understood to have discussed
the question.
Two plans have been suggested
by members of congress charged
with the reporting of bonus legisla'
ton. One by Republican members
of the house ways and means COM
mittee contemplates special taxes,
while under the other put forward
by Chairman McCumber and Sena-
tor Smoot Of Utah, ranking Repub.
lican on the finance committee,
short time treasury notes or bonds
would be issued during the time
that the cash payments we're made
to the former service men.
After the White House confer
ence today it was indicated in some
administration quartera that the
treasury secretary held the same
views with regard to issues of notes
or bonds that he expressed in his
recent letter to Chairman Fordney
of the ways and means committee.
On the other hand, congressional
leaders said opposition to the levy
ing of additional taxes at this time
was increasing.
1t was understood that the tax
program drawn by the house sub
committee met with instant oppo-
sition when it was presented to ma
jority members of the senate f.
nance committee. Subcommittees
were named to thresh the matter
out and after conference with
Secretary Weeks, they were under
stood to have presented the two
proposals to the president.
While the president was consid-
ering the matter, the subcommittee
marked time today. Senator Nc
Cumber said he expected to get the
presidents views tomorrow but add
ed that he was not advised as to
how they would be communicated.

WAGE REDUCTIONS
CAUSE Of WALK0UTS
IN MAINE TOWNS
VOTED AGAINST STRIKE,
AND NO VOTE TAKEN AT
OTHER COTTON MILL CEN
TIERS.

Boston, Feb. 14.-Half of the
100000 cotton mill operatives of
New England were on reduced
wage schedules today and nearly
one-quarter Of them, or between
10000 and $4,000 were on strike
in protest. AS a result many plants
were forced to shut down.
In New Hampshire, where the
wage cut and increase in hours
from 48 to 81 weekly was state
wide, the strikes were almost
equally general. The big plant of
the Amoskeag mills at Manchester
the largest cotton mill in the world
and the Nashua were among the
several that had to shut down.
There, as at other plants, the
strike orders were carried out by
all but few workers. Some 10000
pesons are employed in the cotton
mills Of New Hampshire, Of whom
only a few hundreds remained at
looms and benches today.
Lowell, Mass, was the other
principal center. Of the fresh
strikes, with the Hamilton mills

IRISH SITUATION
HAS BECOME ACUTE
SINCE THE ENGLISH HAVE
LEFT THE COUNTRY THE
IRISH START A LITTLE WAR
OF THEIR OWN KILLED; 8
WOUNDED

London, Feb. 14.-The situation
in Ireland, which had seemed to be
improving under the apparent af-.
forts of Arthur Griffith, and
Michael Collins to obtain the re.
lease of the kidnapped Ulsterinen,
has become acutely dangerous as
the result of the Clones affrsy on
Saturday. -
- The Times Dublin correspondent
says dismay followed the news OF
the clash, in which four special
Ulster constables were killed,
eight wounded and six made pris-
oners, and the leader Of the Sim
Feiners, Matthew Fitzpatrick, shot
dead, The provisional government
was perturbed, as the affair dashed
the high hopes based up on its am
nesty proclamation and the British
decision to release all prisoners
held for offenses committed in Eng
land from Irish political motives
prior to the truce in Ireland. De-
velopment are awaited with the ut
most anxiety,
There is some conflict in the ac-
counts of how the shooting was
precipitated. Irish republican army
men at Clones and their syn1pathiz-
ers take the stand that armed and
uniformed Ulstermen had no right
to enter free state territory and
subjected themselves to arrest by so
doing. It is pointd that the Gaelic
football playes now in the Derry
Jail were arrested for a similar rea-
son by the Ulsterites.
The account of the shooting
from the same Source is that Fitz-
patrick approached the Ulster con-
stabularies and ordered them to
raise their hands promising no vio-
lence if they surrendered. The only
reply to this demand, it is said,
was the shooting and killing Of
Fitzpatrick, and then the republi-
can army men fired.
In Belfast, on the other hand it
is contended that the rights of SOU
thern Ireland were not infringed
by sending the police from Belfast
to Enniskillen by train, although
the line passes for few miles
through free state territory. Nor
thern police are declared to have
travelled that route on Thursday
and Friday without molestation or
protest either locally or from the
prvisional government.
