TIE SPEEDING URINE"

The suggestion was made in thes'
columns about Il year ago that th'
time would come when The reckless
automobile driver would he treated
with contempt by other drivers 81
cars Ridieule and seorn will cure
many evils that cannot be reached In
any other way. There Is nothing, IN
any sense praiseworthy about the man
who PUSHES his car along the road al
hfty miles an hour. Almost any car
will go at that speed. and when q
driver does this habitnally II proves
nothing except that the man or
woman wants TO show off.
There are occasions when speed is
necessary. These cases are not with
in the contemplation of this conf
ment. They are comparatively few.
But tho driver OF n car who speeds
Just for the sake of speeding, or TO
show how fast his car can travel, is
fast becoming known as the speed
ing rube." Old motorists stamp him
as person who has had car Just
long enough to have some confidence
in his ability to steer the machine and
who wants TO display his prcwess be-
fore those with him in the car or
those along the way. He must be
laughed out OF existence.
The speeding rube" is usually the
person who has no manners in other
activities In life. He is one who is apt
to talk boastingly in loud voice upon
any subject. He knows nothing of
decency or courtesy. He is almost
beyond the pale. AS interesting In
this connection 1t is worth while not
ing the attitude OF those who drive
cars In and about New York. Far be
It from US to laud New Workers and
New York at the expense of Connect
cut or Connecticut people--but the
speeding rube" Is not true Con-
necticut person. He may live here,
but we're not Boosting about him. A
drive to Coney Island, for instance, or
up the Grand Concourse and Pelham
New York, is popular with |
New Workers. The remarkable part |
Of their driving is that. on the fine
drive to Coney Island for instance, !
the cars travel along in an orderly |
way at the rate of about 20 miles an
hour. There is no attempt to speed,
to show off. So on the other drives
about New York. The speed laws are
obeyed, not, perhaps because it Is the
aw, but rather because the drivers
the decency and wisdom of
his procedure. The person who
zones from outside of the city, from
mother state, may be indeed
speeding rube." But few would care
o be stamped as such. If the law
an not scare him into proper driving
n Connecticut, perhaps he can be
into decency.

Scrap of Ransom Co.

The Ransom County Farmers
Press has carried to the supreme
court it's convention that the Lis
bon Free Press violated the cor
rupt practices act in the last cleo
ton for official newspaper by
promising to send every voter a
copy of the official publication of
the delinquent tax list.
The appeal on behalf Of the Ran
som County Farmers Press and
Chas. G. Bangert says that the
promise of the Free Press to put
copy Of the paper containing
the delinquent tax list before the
voters constituted the holding
out of a prize, reward or promise
and something of value to the vot-
ers of Ransom county as cordi-
ton and consideration for their
votes" and that it CONSTITUTES a
violation of the corrupt practice
act CT the state Of North Dakota"
A; The election was invalidated and
annulled by such action, it is con-
tended. Since the Ransom County

fetal paper previous to the last

Will he Ready 10 Act on Ap.
plicatiOns for Motor Line
Licenses Soon
RECEIVE APPLICATIONS

With rules drawn to govern the
operation Of motor vehicle inter-
city transportation under provi-
sions of the emergency law of the
1923 legislature, the state railroad
commission expects to take action
upon applications for certificates
for maintaining regular transpor-
tation service by the first of Ap"'
Commissioner Fay Harding, who
drafted the rules, said today. The
commission has been informed
that within the near future there
will be many applications for GER
tificates Of operation.
Rules and regulations CT Wash
ington, California and Utah were
used by the railroad commission
in drafting the rules Of the new
nhase of it's regulatory business,
it was said by Mr.. Harding. The
commission has tentatively adopt
ed a provision charging upon the
maximum and minimum liability
I insurance required under the law.
Liability Bond Rule
Under the proposed rule, liza
bility bond to guarantee a recov-
cry of up to $4,000 for personal in
jury to any passenger Of an inter-
city automobile line would be re-
uuired, the law providing a maxi
mum recovery of $4,000 for all
pelscAk injured on vehicles carry
ing twelve passengers or less. On
vehicles carrying from 13 to 20
passengers $4,000 of liability in
surance would be required; on We
hicles carrying 20 more passen-
gers $4,000 liability insurance
! In addition liability insurance to
cover up to $1,000 damage to pro-
perty Of any person other than
the insured would be required.
, Among the rules, definitely
adopted is one requiring every mo-
tor vehicle engaged in the trans
portation of passengers to stop
not less. than 20 nor more than SO
/ feet from railroad crossing, and
, after making. the stop the driver
ascertain that no railroad train is
approaching. This provision, it
. was SCdCeu, is cOHCalHeu Ill UHc Sttl-
| ifo1nia law. 1t had been urged by
the railroad commission for incor-
/ poration in law by the legislature
! Must Keep to Schedule
Each vehicle for which cel'tifi-
cate is obtained must have sign
81. inches in height showing the
route Of transportation, non-skitl
chains must be provided in rainy
weather or on slippery reads; time
! tables must be maintained show
ing the schedule and time of arri-
val and departure; any interrupt
tons of regular service likely to
continue "a hours must be report
ed to the railroad commission; and
Il style of emblem will be adopted
by the railroad commission to he
placed on the vehicles.
The rules also provide that no
company shall discontinue any
service without ten days notice ia

and provides that the commission
may order alterations in the sch
cdules on its own motion on that OF
person or persons affected.

By fair value is meant fair both
TO the ut l.ty and to the consumer
In its decision in the jamestown
case the commission also establish
ed rule that franchise value will not
be allowed in nxing the value of
utility for rate-mak.ng purposes.
The jamestown utility claimed q
valuat on os 100000 as franchise
value. In arriving at this, it figured
that under special contract with
he city of jamestown made when
the franchise was granted, it had
furnished the city with electric pow
er to pump water at an accumulated
loss of 100000 over cost. The COM
mission held that its analysis o. the
jamestown utility's earnings show
ed it had always earned fair re-
turn and that the money lost
through the special contract with
the city itself was paid by he con-
sumcrs in their rates.
Contract Discriminates
In fixing new rates for the West
crn Electric Company the commits
sion held the special contract was
discr.minato but that since the
legislature has restricted the power
of the city to increase its budget
the special rate would be continued
in effect for one year, but that the
city should prepare to answer why
the discrimination should not be re-
moved after that time. The commits
sion also allowed the utility to add
$4,000 to is operating expenses for
the money said to he lost through
, the favorable contract for the city
of jamestown.
The Western Electric Company
asked for a valuation of SCOT 1863 90
The valuation fixed by the commits
SION was S379.2s2.oO. The rates to
be charged by the company were re-
