Move On"

Controlled speed and safety are rap
idly becoming synonymous in this
country, according to survey by the
American Automobile Association,
which shows that within the last three
years twenty-three States have abol-
ished obsolete speed regulations, with
the result that these States have con-
tributed less to the accident list than
those which adhere to the theory that
mere speed is responsible for mishaps
In two States, Connecticut and Mich
igan, the speed limit has been abol-
iShed altogether and proper and care
full operation at all times" substituted.
while in others the limit has been
raised from twenty-five and thirty to
forty and forty-five miles an hour.
1t has long been an accepted traffic
theory that congestion breeds acci-
dents, Speed dissipates congestion.
That Is the reason that legislators in
every State in the country are realiz-
ing that the modern automobile with
balloon tires. four-wheel brakes and
sturdy steering gear possesses the requi-
sites of safety with controlled speed.
Fifteen years ago forty-five miles an
hour on the open road would have
been regarded as a suicidal pace. To-
day, with broad. wide, well-surfaced
highways and fine. modern vehicles,
forty-five miles an hour is as safe as
was twenty-five miles an hour in those
days. Acceleration is quicker and de-
celeration is more rapid. These two
factors alone have boosted the safe
speed of cars at least twenty miles An
hour.
It is we'll within the bounds of rea-
son that eventually the majority OF
States will follow the lead of Con-
necticut and Michigan and do away
with limits. The reckless-driving charge
provides far more of weapon for the
authorities than fast driving" ever did.
A motorist may be just as reckless
at fifteen miles an hour as he is at
forty-five. yet at fifteen he may not be
violating the speed limit. Circum-
stances should control In all cases. On
Sunday or holiday on the crowded
open road forty-five miles an hour
might well be claSsed as reckless driv-
ing, but on a dry day, with no other
traffic on the highway, forty-flve miles
an hour would be safe speed.
With the general speeding up of traf-
fic throughout the country a demand
for a minimum limit as well as max
imum, has arisen. Too often conges-
ton is bred by slow-moving motor
ist, who refuses TO give way for others
to oyertake him. Every motorist who
has toured in the United States has
had this experience, and doubtless rec
ognizes that the slow-moving middle
of-the-road. open-highway driver is al
most as much Of menace to safety
as the reckiessly inclined operator.
This is the era Of speed. BY steam
ship. by train, by airplane and by auto
mobile the world is stepping on It,"
With all the mechanical facilities for
speed being improved. 1t is up to the
human to adapt himself TO the new or
der of things. No patience can be
wasted on the iaggard. If he cannot
keep up the pace he must confine him.

ton. Move on" is the slogan. and
