Oklahoma Finds Careless Drivers

Repairing Highway.

OKLAHOMA CITY.-In Oklohona
the reckless motorist Is adding thou
sands of dollars q year to the taxpay-

Damage to highway repair equip

gineer, has become excessive. Graders
and tar heaters frequently have been
overturned or demolished beyond re-

Sometimes horses belonging to re-
pairmen have been killed. One high

bile, and its driver became indignant
when the injured mans fellow work.

HOLIDAY MOTORING
fl. HAS BIG SEASON
Extra Dividends Shown by
A. A. A. Survey in Health
and Pleasure.

The holiday dividends from car own
ership reached a new high-water mark
during the 1929 touring season, accord
ing to preliminary survey made by the
National Touring Board Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association and made
public yesterday
The preliminary report Is based on
hundreds of thousands of tours handled
by affiliated A. A. A. motor clubs
throughout the United States and Can
ada during May, June, July and Au-
gust.
Thomas p. Henry, president of the
A. A. A., asserted that an analysis or
reports to date clearly demonstrates that
the family car was used for touring
purposes this year to a greater extent
that ever before.
I'm market terms" said the A. A. A.
executive. ''our returns to date disclose
a boom season, during which extra divi-
dends in holidays and health were de-
clared on car ownership" He contin-
ued:
Family Car for Touring.
"Never before has the family car been
used so much for touring purposes, and
particularly for long distance touring.
The increase of some per cent in tour
list business that we predicted at the
opening of the touring season will, IN all
probability, be borne out"
Many factors. according to Mr. Henry
entered into the declaration of larger
holiday dividends from car ownership
this year. Among these he cited: Good
touring weather, growing confidence In
the comfort and the dependability Of
the automobile as an instrument OF
long-distance transportation. the max
ing of new touring detectives available
through highway construction and the
competitive bidding of communities for
the tourist dollar through advertising
and the general selling of their scenic
historical, recreational and climatic as
sets.
"The increase in long-distance tour
ing is particularly important, because 1t
means wider distribution of the tourist
dollar, which is coming to be recog-
nized as an important factor in-n not
an index of-national prosperity.
Mobility in Vacation.
motorists are no longer content to
20 to one place and stay there Tor their
entire vacation. Mobility in tranSporta-
ton means mobility in vacation. This
is particularly true as regards the
younger generation.
This holiday mobility has two i'm
portant aspects. It means that COM
munities are not primarily regarded as
resorts but are zen route'-get much
more of the motorists dollar than they
got even a few years back. 1t also
means that the old-established resorts,
and the new resorts, for that matter,
can keep the motorist holiday maker
only as long as they succeed IN meeting
the constantly increasing standards
that he demands in comfort and recre-
alton"
Mr.. Henry pointed out in conclusion
that. in so far as the reports indicate,
all the we'll known Summer resort areas
got a share of what he termed "a good
tourist crop" with perhaps New Eng
land, the Northwest and the inter-
mountain sections, including COLORADO
and Utah, showing a rather ngner
average gain.

lines OF cars move in both directions.
It Is to relieve the congestion caused
by the motorist who drives rs or 40

ENGINEERS SOCIETY
MEMBERSHIP INCREASES
From Far West Show
Growing Interest in Autos
and Aviation.

OF 90 applications for membership
received between July Is and August IS
by the Society Of Automotive Engineers,
20 were from applicants living in the
Far West, 80 Of whom live in Spokane,
Wash. Other Western States repre-
scented are California, Oregon, Utah and
wyoming. The large percentage Of ap-
plications from the Far West during the
last II months reflects the growing in
terest Of automotive engineers in the
activities of the society in aeronautic
engineering and in the fields of motor
coach and motor truck operation and
maintenance.
Foreign membership in the society
also is growing in way that shows the
increasing interest throughout the world
in American design and engineering and
production progress in the motor vehicle
and aeronautic fields. During the 81
day period mentioned, three member
ship applications were received from
England, two each from Canada and
Japan, and one each from Scotland,
italy, South Africa, Australia and New

THE REVOLT AGAINST CIVILIZATION

look upon laws and institutions in a
new land in the spirit that should
characterize a citizen of free gov
eminent. 1t is not accidental, there
fore, that vast majority of those
who have become identified in this
country with organized crime, are
newcomers to the United States. They
constitute but a. small percentage of
our total foreign population, but
their activity constitutes a growing
menace to public order and safety.
But after all, so long as a certain
section of the American metropolitan
press persists in clarifying the Grim
inal, and attacking rather than de-
Tending the officers of the law who
are constantly called upon to risk
their lives in the battle with the I'M
derworld, we cannot flatter ourselves
with the thought that the causes of
this revolt against law and order are
of foreign origin. So long as many
newspapers, some of them of vast
circulation and influence, persist in
sneering at and attacking certain of
our criminal laws, and in surrounding
thecommercialized activities of law
breakers with the halo Of resistance to
oppression, what wonder that crime
has increased to the point that in cities
like Chicago there is some doubt as
to whether the government or the
racketeer is supreme?
Some years ago notable book "The
Revolt Against Civilization called at
tention to the fact that as civilization
advances it develops within itself sub
versive forces which tend to weaken
and then destroy it, and that human
history is a succession of cycles in
which progress is succeeded by retro
gression. There are signs that our civ
ilization is revolving against itself.
There is an identity of. effect, if not
of purpose, in the commercialized ac-
tivities Of the rum-rings, the racke-
teers, the radical agitators Of armed
revolution against the United States
and the highly organized and financed
movements to disarm the United
States in the face of the peril created
by the growth of elements which VIC.

many we'll intentioned people with
drawn while on the part of the gener-
al public there is an ominous indif-
ference to the results which, if the
teaching of history is worth anything,
must bring the most serious conse-
quencesa
In view of those conditions, these
words of President Hoover should be
read and re-read by every editor re-
sponsible for the policy of his publ
cation, and by every citizen as we'll:
Il am wondering whether the time
has not come, however, to realize that
we are confronted with a national ne
cessity of the first degree, that we
are not suffering from an ephemeral
crime wave, but subsistence of our
foundations.
Possibly the time is at hand for
the press to Systematically <demand
and support the reorganization of our
law-enforcement machinery-federal
state and local--so that crime may
be reduced, and ON the other hand
to demand that our citizens shall
awake to the fundamental conscious
ness of democracy which is that the
the laws are theirs and that every
responsible member of a democracy
has the primary duty to obey the
law.

dom is obedience to law; that liberty
itself has but one foundation and that
is in the law"

No more notable utterance has been
made by president in years than
that of President Hoover at the meet
mg of the Associated Press in New
York. 1t is a message which the
American people must take to heart
if their civilization is to be preserved.
Strong as the utterance is, much was
left unsaid which Thoughtful men and
women can easily read between the
lines.
President Hoover called attention to
the fact that in individual lawlessness
America leads the world. He declared
that it is evident that the national
A&bit of law breaking did not begin
with the enactment of the Eighteenth
Amendment, but that the violation of
the prohibition amendment and laws
WIS only the continuance of ten
dency alarmingly apparent before
this change occurred. Those whose
memories run back to pre-prohibi-
ton days will easily recall that
lAwlessness in connection with the
liquor traffic was rampant before the
prohibition policy was seriously con-
sidered, and indeed accounted for
the development of public sentiment
which made this drastic legislation
possible.
Such lawlessness is not hard to ex-
plain. The greater political freedom
achieved by a people, the greater the
relaxation of arbitrary authority, the
greater the danger of lack Of ODE
dience to law. Yet that obedience to
law is an essential accompaniment OF
greater freedom; otherwise the ex-
pertinent of popular government will
fail. The citizen owes more implicit
obedience to law under representa-
tive republican government than I'M
der an autocracy: for laws under a
popular form Of government are nee
essarily an expression of majority
rule. In liberty is the seed Of anarchy,
unless it be guarded by eternal vigil
lance.
