Independent admitted certain great ben
e6ts from prohibition; but then proceeded
to make a noise like a wet, only to en-
phasize the fact that the vets have no
good argument on their side. It said
"Our conclusion is that prohibition has
accomplished material good and moral
injury"
But the material benefits you mention
have themselves resulted in moral bet
terment Money previously squandered
in the saloon now goes for more lasting
goods or into the savings bank. Capital
gets more for its money out of labor"
This means better homes, more of the
comforts of life, less squalor and degra-
daton, better physical and moral condi-
tons Take walk through the Bowery,
and you cannot but realize that, as surely
as night follows day, moral betterment
must follow the material improvement
there evident. Capital gets more out of
labor because labor is more efficient,
workmen do not lose so much time on ac-
count of sickness, accidents, ETC. This
is of even more advantage to labor than
to capital.
But in addition to the neral betterment
resulting from the material Improvement,
the editor admits: obviously, prohibit
ton has done the nation an outstanding
service in abolishing the saloon. Organ
lied liquor trades, with their vicious in
huence on government, their exploita-
ton of drunkenness and vice, have been
eliminated-by a process of crude surg
cry it is true-from our body polite"
Note that these remarkable achievements
are admitted to be obvious" And the
testimony of Salvation Army and other
welfare workers is of more value than the
rawlings of those whose appettes or greed
oblterates their sense of civic duty.
Continued Evasion is Right
But notwithstanding this remarkable
list of achievements, the editor tries to
argue against prohibition: Against this
practical accomplshm however,
must be set the injury to our national
morale by the continued fouting and
evasion of the law, by widespread boot
Logging and smuggling, the corruption of
officials, and the undermining of individ-
ual consciences."
Not one of these arguments % will
"hold water" CONTINUED fouting and
evasion of the law" "Continued' is
right! The liquor lawlessness is nothing

HOLDS BALLOON TIRES
PERMIT SAFER STOPS
Wills.Saint Claire Head Says That
They Provide Better
Traction.

There is one angle Of the balloon
tire situation that has not been en-
phasized," says c. II. Wills. president
of Wills -Sainte Claire, Inc, land that
is the better traction afforded when
brakes are applied"
There are two reasons for this"
he continued. TN the first place,
there is more contact surface with
the road because of the wider tread
on balloon tires. The braking effect
is spread over a larger area, which.
of course, increases the brakfng
efficiency.
THE other reason Is concerned
with the low air pressure in bal
looms" continued Mr.. Wills. 1T is a
well known fact among engineers
that when brakes are applied the
weight OF the car has a tendency to
move forward and downward. In the
case of ordinary tires the air pressure
Is SO high that the tire flattens only
slightly. But in the case of balloon
tires the low air pressure allows the
tire to fatten to an appreciable ex-
tent. This automatically increases
the contact surface of the tire with
the road and adds considerably to the
efficiency of the brakes.
ESPECIALLY on icy or wet pave
ments will these facts be appreciated.

Speed Traps Hit
BY La,v Removing
Fixed Rate Limit

Controversy that ragged for a. time
over California's new motor vehicle
act is dying out as a result OF test
cases in court indicating that the
present law had more teeth than
the old.
When the new law went into effect
few months ago claims were made
that it was not explicit in limiting
speed. While not placing an arbi-
trary limit on the motorist. the law
is strict relative to reckless driving.
Officials in small towns that had been
deriving revenue through the opera
tion Of speed traps" were outspoken
in opposition to the new legislation
which failed to recognize these de-
wees as legal and called for the pa
trolling of roads by uniformed Of
ficers.
Under the new act the speeder may
be arrested as a reckless driver at
any moment the car is being driven
faster than Is safe, whether the speed
fy fifteen miles an hour or fifty.

MOTOR ACCIDENTS
EXCUSE FOR AL|B|S
Hoosier State Auto Associa.
tion CausticaIIy Assigns
Other Causes.

Accidents In motoring are the pro-
life cause Of alibis. but there is funda-
mental cause for the alibis for acci-
dents. and that is carelessness, thought
lessness and foolhardiness," according
to a recent bulletin issued by the safety
department of the Heosier State Auto
Association.
"The word 'alibis' In this instance re-
fers to the excuses offered Immediately
following an automobile accident-and
asserts, and further declares most
alibis are born On the spur of the
moment and fail to live when exposed
to the white light of reason and cold,
hard horse sense"
The safety bureau asks: Are you
an alibier? Are you quick to find so
called excuses or alleged reasons why
such-and-such happened? Or are you
a cautious driver. capable of anticipat-
ing danger and being prepared for the
actions Of other motorists which are
frequent causes Of accidents on the
streets and highways? While it is true
that the chance-taker is an accident
makers in the twinkling Of an eye
they have 1t all figured out. and. right
or wrong. they stick to their alibi.
How perfectly senseless many alibis

citation declares THE driver who takes
snow covers the roadway is not only
risking his own car and his own life
but the lives or others and even IL he
has chains on he Is still taking the

wonder with the lack of attention to
the mechanical side Of motor vehicles
that accidents happen due to some poor
