stitutional amendment but not yet is
sued was passed to be enacted in
concurrence.
The report Of the committee on
conference on the gravel road bill
that each branch adhere to its for
mer action was accepted in the Sem
ate. The House had passed the bill
and the Senate had rejected it. so
that the measure Is now dead.
The Senate received the request
from the House for conference
committee upon the 100000 highway
bond issue, which had been adopted
by the House and rejected by the
Senate. Senator Bemis Of Somerset
moved that the Senate insist upon it's
former action of rejecting the resolve
and ask for a conference committee.
The motion was carried and Presi-
dent Harrington named on the COM
mittee Senators Carlton of Sagada-
hoe, Beihis Of Somerset and Cram OF
Cumberland.
The Senate rejected the House re-
quest for conference committee
upon the amended Camden and
Rockland Water Company bill and on
motion Of Senator Elliot of Knox the
Senate adhered in the indefinite post
ponement Of the bill and amendment.
Conference Report on Gas Tax Bill
The committee on Conference upon
the Leland gas tax bill reported in
favor OF the passage of the bill with
an amendment. which practically
makes a new bin. The amendment
provides a charge for gasoline used
in motor vehicles on the highway at
a one-cent rate, instead Of an excise
tax. The exemptions include motor
boats tractors. stationary engines and
gasoline vehicles on railroad tracks.
The division Of revenue is the same
as in the Leland bill. one-half for
third class highways and one-half
for general maintenance.
Senator Hinckley of Cumberland
declared that an excise tax was clear
ly unconstitutional read from the opin-
ion Of the New Hampshire supreme
court rendered to the Legislature or
that State, declaring that While an
excise tax was unconstitutional the
State had the power to levy what was
in effect charge or toll upon motor
vehicles using the highways. The
conference committee recommended
ton was adopted.
The amendment was adopted by a
rising vote. IA to 10.
Before a vote was taken upon the
motion of Senator Speirs to. indefin-
itely postpone the bill and the amend
ment Senator Hinckley explained
that the method of distribution in
the measure was the same as the Le-
land bill.
Senator Smith asked II the House
had not rejected the committee
amendment and was told that they
had done so.
Senator Speirs motion to indefin-
itely postpone was lost on a voice

Most Auto
Accidents Can
Be Avoided

Most automobile accidents can
be avoided" says H. II. Franklin.
president of the Franklin Automobile
Company. "Only small proportion
are caused by mechanical troubles,
the rest by conditions over which
motorists and pedestrians have con-
troll. One phase Of the problem calls
for the licensing of all drivers of
motor vehicles under strict require
ments covering a definite code of
driving and traffic rules. The other
phase calls for the assumption of the
proper share of responsibility on the
part of the pedestrian.
"City streets and country roads
have now come to be veritable rail-
ways filled with the engines of mod
ern traffic. If for no other reason
than this, the pedestrian cannot
safely ignore warning signals on the
highway nor traffic rules on city
streets. Busy streets can now be
crossed safely by the pedestrian at
street intersections only, and with
the traffic. The streets must be kept
clear for movement Of vehicles. In
preventing the play of children on the
streets, the responsibility of parents
is apparent.
safety Of traffic is not case of
pedestrians against motorist or vice
versa. Each has certain well-defined
rights and each is here to stay. All
that is required is the exercise OF
common sense and good judgment on
the part of BOTH"

delivery of the first American built
car to purchaser.
From the initial start the yearly
record of owner deliveries has grown
until during 1929 more than 100000
cars were placed in the hands of
owners.
This first car delivered was a
single cylinder Winton and was pur-
chased by Mr.. Robert Allison, a me-
chanical engineer, of Port Carbon,
Pa. He visited the small factory
then being operated by Alexander
Winton in Cleveland, Ohio, and after
being convinced that the horseless
carriage would run. placed the first
order by bonafide American pur-
chaser March "a. 1898. The delivery
was made a week later.
The first years output of the Win
ton factory was twenty-one cars and
one of the early purchasers was Mr..
j. w. Packard, an electrical manu-
facturer of Warren, Ohio. Two years
later Mr.. Packard organized the Ohio
Automobile Company. which was
afterwards moved to Detroit and be-
came the Packard Motor company.

the factories will reach the three
million mark, though motor car
manufacturing is more than ever be-
ing concentrated in the hands Of the
few.
"As for the Nash Motors Company,
though our orders would seem to
warrant a production OF 100000 and
our distributors are urging us
to increase it to that figure. we
will keep down our 1928 output to
10000. l have no idea of letting our
plants get into a jam. l propose
to build only as many cars as we can
build well. My idea is to build fewer
cars and to build them right.
"There is now a tremendous short
age of cars at the automobile fac
tories due to the long continued biz
Zard, which has made it impossible to
secure adequate railroad freight
transportation. In fact some facto7
ries have had to shut down through
being unable to get enough coal to
keep their workmen warm. This
would seem to point to a short
age of all cars of the popular makes
continuing all this spring"

that the railroad congestion Of the
past few months shall not rob them of
record spring business. Paige and
Jewctt dealers for the past few weeks
have been driving away big per cent
of the factory's output.
While trips to Chicago. Cleveland
and other neighboring cities are mat
tiers of daily routine. many cars have
been driven unusual distances for this
time of year. Paige and Jewett cars
have been driven to Keokuk. Iowa,
$3.50 miles). Washington. d. c. (602
miles), Canon City. Colo, G525 miles)
and to many points in Pennsylvania,
West Virginia. and in the Ohio Valley.
Such Journeys in the face Of severe
cold indicate the eagerness Of Paige
and Jewett dealers to have an adequate
number Of cars on hand for what
promises to be an unprecedented sell
ing season. The Paige factories have
been behind on orders since November.
although they are working to capacity
and the production schedule calls for a
big increase over last year.

, than an increase in the volume Of busi-
ness Of grocery and department store
sales.
Purchase Of musical Instruments
and goods represents the so-called lux
ury spending in comparison with pur-
chase Of food, clothing and other neces-
stiles. The desire for Injuries is salts
fed, business men know. only after the
need for necessities is taken care of by
the population. Increased spending
for Injuries, &herefore. indicates a
growing prosperity on the part Of the
general public.
Sales of tobacco. another commodity
in the luxury class, are not now in
creasing in the same proportion as the
sales of musical instruments. This is
an economic discrepancy which can not
be explained except perhaps by the fact
that tobacco sales increased some
months ago and may have reached a
prosperity peak before the increase
even began to develop in the demand
for other Injuries.
