organization has reached the decision
to broaden Its consideration Of sub
iect that concerns every man, woman
and child in the United States. I'm
questionably, there Is public agitation
for some method to care for innocent
victims Of the reckless motor car driver,
and the American Automobile Associa-
ton, concerned as 1t Is solely with the
best interests of millions of motorists,
is the logical body to lead the way In
the solving of complicated problenfs
Some form of insurance or financial
liability is bound to come In the vari-
GUS States. The increase In the num-
Der OF motor cars and the consequent
increase in the vast army Of drivers
naturally multiply the accident toll.
and as more people are injured and
killed the agitation grows In force.
While, as the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION contends, the Bay State auto
mobile compulsory insurance law may
not necessarily be the solution Of the
problem, some way must be found to
protect the millions of pedestrians and
motorists whose lives are daily placed
in jeopardy by the activities of the In
reckless and financially I'M
responsible motor car operator.
Members OF the special investigating
therefore, have a grave re-
sponsibility on their shoulders. They
should go at the matter In broad and
manner and should let
no selfish interests sway them In their
Anal Judgment. The American Auto
mobile Association is to be congrat-
nlated on the appointment of the COM
mittee and its desire to sift the wheat
from the chaff to the end that whole
some and beneficial measure may be
urged for the entire country.

formal welcome to the city, will come
banquet as concluding testimonial
to Chattanooga famous SON.
The tribute is the more striking be-
cause Of the fact that for thirty-twc Of
the nifty years Of Mr. ochs' journalistic
work he. has been engaged chiefiy in
another city than Chattanooga. There
he began his career, as publisher of
the Chattanooga Times. From there
he went to New York to undertake the
larger venture OF rehabilitating the
New York Times, which had fallen
through various misfortunes from its
once high estate. It was In New York
that Mr.. Ochs demonstrated his great
ability as journalist, winning success
against heavy odds and finally becoming
the exponent Of the finest and best in
American Journalism.
Chattanooga celebrates Mr. Ochs be-
cause 1t feels that 1t was there that
he developed the qualities that subse-
quently won for him Nation wide APP
prsisal and esteem. It regards him as
still one of It's citizens, because he re-
tains the direction OF the Times of that
city. The honors that 1t is now pay
ing him. on the occasion of his semi
of journalism, are. however,
OF broader significance. They are
tribute to demonstration of the high
est concept Of journalistic responsible
ity and capacity as we'll as to a material
achievement that Is only part Of the
great reward of public services rendered
