vehicle only in terms of speed. The
substantial qualifications of endur
ance, reliability and utility were
secondary.
Ten years later, or in 1914, the
laws-permitted greater speed in the
open districts, but provided more
restrictions. Six miles an hour was
permitted in congested districts;
eight miles was the limit on detours;
10 miles over crossings; II miles
in the business district and past
schools; 20 miles in the residence
district; and % miles on the open
road,
Today there are less restrictions
on the motorist and greater speed
permitted, but the driver is expect
ed at all times to refrain from
recklessness. Thirty five miles an
hour is allowed on the open road,
20 miles in residence districts; and
Is miles in business districts, but
with the passing of time the tend
encv has come to make the penal
ties for speed violation greater. 1t
has been shown that only Il very
small percentage wilfullv violate the
law. so that motorists in general
approve of severe penalties.
Imperial Valley press., 1924-06-21

The automobile driver of today
has little reason to kick against
speed regulations, compared to the
restrictions placed on motorists 20
years ago when the motor vehicle
was in its infancy. This is demon
strated by glancing through early
day ordinances and activities of
the motorists, that form a part of
the archives of the Automobile Club
of Southern California.
In 1904 authorities were protest
ing raising the speed limit to more
than eight miles an hour for cities.
1t was pointed out that autos were
frightening horses and were I, men
ace to lives and property. Motor
lists wanted to speed limit raised,
and finally compromise was eff
fected whereby ears were permitted
the exhilirating pace of II miles an
hour. This limit applied, however,
Culv 30 the outlying districts.
1t was about this time that the
Automobile Club of Southern Cali

growing practice of turning every
highway a race course. This was
about the time that the average
automobile owner thought Of his

TAHPAYERS .SLITS

As the government prepares to pay bonus money
to service in accordance with the law recently
acted by Congress, taxpayers suit is brought in
Washington to restrain the Treasury Department from
such action 1t is said to be inspired by the ExSeryice
Mems Anti Bonus League.
This will hardly do any good for anybody 1t will
arouse hard feelings and keep alive feud among the
bonus and antibonus factions after the long conrover
sy is settled and when the feud ought to be allowed to
die out.
There is discussing whether the bon
law enacted is good bad law or whether or not
there ought to have been any bonus. Bonus egisIa-
ton Is fact, accomplished by an overwhelming vote
lie No taxpayers suit is likely to change that fact
The trying to change it, to make trouble about
Ill, might spend their time more profitably by ac-
knowedgng the bonus issue as settled and insisting
that 1t Is settled for all opposing any reopening

COURAGE AND CONSERVATISM

Our here on the western rim of the continent It
looks though the Republicans handed Coolidge the
nomination platter because the average person of
Republican leanings is extremely conservative and
cautious this year The memory of the distress in 20
we'll grown, gentle horse for fractions and uncei-
tain progressive colt. The mild spring decline in bus
mess attributed by them in part to the exposures
of corruption made by the Senate Democrats and Pro
gressives. These revelations were considered 'un-
settling" Therefore the Republican voters desiring
business stability above everything else focked to the
conservative Coolidge banner by the million.
An important factor in the Presidents favor was
the political courage imputed to him in his defense of
the Mellon tax rates. his cearcut opposition to the
bonus and in his message asking the senatorial nvesti
gators to keep within the constitution and the orderly
prcess of the law
Taking into consideration the psychology of the
business community it becomes clear why courageous
conservatism made the nomination of Coolidge practi-
caily unanimous-SUNSET for July.

A BOOM IN BONDS

Bonds have been rising lately There is a veritabe
boom in federal and state bonds Municipal bonds are
snapped up, at good prices the moment they are of
fered All such securities are in especially strong de-
mand in the metropolitan markets.
"This unusual spectacle" comments financial
writer, reveals growing rather than diminishing
demand for taXexempt securities
1t is largely reaction to the government
revenue law. And it is wholly natural reaction.
Congress- while making drastic cut on the tax rate
small incomes, made little reduction on the rate for
large incomes. So large investors at time when they
bit uncertain anyway about industrial securities
invest in bonds more heavily than ever.
Thus still more wealth escapes taxation, and while
the government loses income from big fortunes pro-
ductive Enterprise loses capital.

UNUSED MONEY

An officer of the United States Treasury says there
is than 100000 900 boarded in this country by
people who disrust banks Indifferent to the ben
efits Of bank deposits.
Many of them, he says, plain misefs who love
to gloat their gold silver and banknotes About
$O000OG00 is stored in cupboards and mattresses OF
foregn-born residents who unaccustomed to banks
Farmers are boarding perhaps $125,00G000.
All of this is understandable. Coins have
pleasant jingle in ones pocket, and to many eyes en-
graved greenback yeowback is more beautiful than
any other work of art The foreign-boTn have more
for acting their own bankers than the native
born, because it is often new thing for them to have
money and often their experiences with petty bankers
of their nationality have been unfortunate Farm
have poorer banking facilities than other classes
Yet in nearly all cases, this Withholding of money
from the bank vaults where it naturally belongs is
bad Mony is the chief tool of economic system.
Like any other tool it is made to And unlike other
tools, it does not out, but grows with
1t is foolish for the owner of any sum larger than
pocket cash to forego the interest it will bear But
there is stronger for banking it. Putting the
money into the bank is putting it into circulation and
stimulating business. 1t is using the same money,
and again. for wages, salaries and the dis
tributon of the necessares of life. The banks cannot
lend money to carry business, to build houses and
develop farms, unless pepe first deposit it with them.

JAPANESE BOYCOTT

boycott movement against American goods has
been started in Japan, result of the exclusion act
So far, however it does not appear to be organized
official 1t represents merely the sporadic efforts of
shopkeepers and consumers here and there, who be-
ieve the action of the United States calls for reaa
ton.
1t is not likely that the movement will go very far,
in spite of the of injury undenabiy felt by the
japanese nation. For general japanese boycott on
American goods would naturally invite an American
boycott on japanese goods and the sober Japan
ese doubtless realize that the American market is
important to them than the Japanese market is to
America. Their sense of injury will soften, too, in
time, the jingoes in both countries subside.
There is some opposition in-Japan to all foreign
goods, purely economic grounds The balance of
trade is against Japan and the Japs want to Give at
home, as own southerners sometimes express it,
to encourage home industry. They cannot be blamed
for that.

NEW HUDSON
COACH ONE OF
FINEST BUILT

The new Hudson coach is cOnsid-
cred one of the handsomest Hudsons
ever built. 1T is due to Hudson s po-
siti0n as an enclosed car specialist
that so fine and beautiful an auto
mobile may be purchased at price
not far above the level of many
open ears. All details of upholstery,
finish and cushioning are of quail
ity standard.
All Hudson ears are finished in a
characteristic Hudson blue. In the
open ears, the upholstery is of fine
hand-buffed leather. The enclos-
ed types have textiles of fine, long
wearing qualities and the most ap-
propriate patterns.
The satisfying results which Hud-
son super-six owners obtain from
its use are assured because an exact
ing system of manufacture and in
spection has been applied to each
unit, and because the various units
have been designed and fabricated
to single, high grade standard of
value.
