these great weights cause unusual
wear and tear on our road surfaces

Enforcement of Motor Laws
The enforcement of our Highway
laws is of vital concern. It's i'm
portance cannot be over emphasized
1t is even more important for our
highways to be safe for travel than
it is to have them smooth and COM
Portable. Law abiding citizens who
go out for pleasure or business are
entitled to protection. We really
have but begun on the enforcement
problems. Experience teaches us
many things, and 7 believe we must
do mucn more in Highway enforce
mcnt than we yet have attempted.
Although | advocate economy in

does if we can really make our high
ways safe.
Every time I return to Augusta
after trip about the State ! am
grateful that no accident has oc-
CURED to me. Reckless drivers are
met everywhere. They pass one on
turns and on hills regardless of
consequences. and they drive with
binding lights that menace everyone
who is obliged TO drive after dark
Boys and girls who have not reach
ed the age where they are entitled
to a license may be met almost any
where driving everything from a
Ford to n Pierce Arrow. Moreover
in my opinion many adults who
operate cars are not at all competent
to do so.
In the first place I believe that
every operator of a motor vehicle
should be given a thorough eX-
animation. as is done in some states.
Our people should he made to realize
that whenever they drive a car on
the roads of Maine they must comply
with the Laws. or else their license
will be taken from them. What
astOnisheS me most is that there are
not more accidents than there are,
for with the driving that | encounter

pass in Maine without one or more
fatal accidents. There must be some

fore we rush into q project that
might cripple our financial condition.
Detcurs
The dctour situation is reasonably
satisfactory, although | believe we
should exercise more care in having
proper detour signs placed wherever
work is being done. The Governor
and Council passed an order some
what over Il year ago to help this sit
uation, and some progress has been
made. The plan is to have the local
engineer in charge of construction
take care of the signs. This has not
been done as thoroughly as might
have been, and | think the Commits

tised as n "No Dctour" State. but l
hardly think the facts warrant it.
Gasoline Tax
The gasoline tax OF the last Leg
islature is bringing in good reve-
nue.. on basis of actual receipts,
and estimating that these will fall
off % percent every three months,
we will average $l434 daily through
out the year, or Il total of $523, 1l1.?S

nue. that is not felt to any great eX
tent. and had it been anticipated that
the price of gasoline would have fall

ture would have made the tax two
cents instead of one cent per gallon.
Maine Massachusetts Road "War"
About 4 year ago the newspapers
boldly announced that Maine was at
war" with Massachusetts over the
truck question. / WAS Commander

wish all wars were as bloodless as
this one. a conference of state Of
ficiaIs settled the question, and |
have not heard from it since. 1t is
entirely reasonable for the state Of
Name TO TAX TRUCKS from OlllPt
states, and | want to see this law en-
forced with absolute impartiality. It
would pay our Highway Department
to continuously keep Il motor police
man at the Kittery bridge.
A Veto
At the last Legislature there was
bin. among the many that l vetoed,
that proposed to give New Hamp-
shire trucks domiciled within Is
miles of Names border the right to
use our roads without paying Maine
any license fees. The condition to be
observed was that Maine trucks in
a similar area on the Maine side
could use New Hampshire roads
without payment of New Hampshire
fees. This today is the law for pas
senger cars. 1t is most unjust to
other sections of the State to give
this concession to Maine people liv-
ing within Is miles of New Hamp-
shire. / do not know why Maine
trucks or cars within Is miles of
New Hampshire border should have
any privileges over the trucks with
in 20 miles or $50 miles of that
States border. The people of Cum

prominent citizen there was arrested
by the officers. The Municipal Court
fined and sentenced him to Jail. The
case was tried on appeal. Four
police officers testified the man was
intoxicated and that liquor was
found on his person. The County
Attorney made a strong appeal for
imprisonment The defendants at
torney argued that his client held
a high position in public life, and
that the bottle of liquor had been
obtained as a "relief for a tooth
ache" 1t was being taken to the
mans home to rinse out his mouth
at night and relieve his suffering.
The jury freed the man and once
again there was a travesty on
justice. Nightly toothaches soon
may become the most popular indoor
sport II this man had been some
poor citizen without money or
friends he promptly would have been
sent to Jail, One would think that
such a case as this could not hap
pen in Maine in the twentieth CEN
tury. No wonder many people think
that money and position will get
man out of any scrape.
Every Citizens Duty
Let every member of the Maine
Automobile Association himself obey
the law and help the officers en-
force ii. The Massachusetts Of
f!cers report that 500 of the motor
lists dsobeY the laws and no doubt
Names record is no better. Such a
state OF affairs is disSraceful. In
my travels around the State | often
stop the Highway policemen, and
obtain much helpful information
from them. Occasionally friends of
mine will pass and see a motor cycle
officer holding up" the Governor.
This furnishes much amusement for
they gain the impression that the
Governor has transgressed the laws
| he has sworn to enforce.
In the State of Maine the next ten
years Will see even more marked i'm
nrovements in our roads than has
been made in the past. Our road
policies are well established and we'll
matured. Our trunk lines no doubt
will be completed within that per-
iod and new trunk lines projected.
| marvel at the progress that has
been made. and congratulate the
Maine Automobile Association and
the State Highway Commission for

the fiscal year OF 1928 was s7G,9Ol.-
-. We have 30 inspectors VINO drive

can be strengthened. Changed con-

| but who could be called upon to en-
| force all laws and respond to any

The Massachusetts plan is an ex-
| cellent one. They have 140 motor
