NO SPEED LIMIT

Many of the states have laws es-
tablishing a maximum speed for au-
tomobiles, or at least stating that
operation at a certain speed is evil
dence of an excessive rate. Michi-
gan is one of the states that has no
sreed limit on automobiles on state
highways outside of incorporated
villages and cities. But the require
ment is made that the car must be
under control at all times.
Apparently this law seems likely
to be permanent. The people of the
state have seemingly reached the
conclusion that laws for fixed speed
limits can not be enforced.
If half the motorists in the state
are driving 40 miles an hour and no
effort is made to stop it, the law
might as well be repealed, and re-
placed by one that can be enforced.
But while public sentiment allows
anyone to drive at high speed on the
open road out in the country, it is
becoming very strong against the
person who speeds a car unduly
through cities and towns.
Milford chronicle., 1929-02-15
SeS
ERIENnSHIPS LUST GROW

1t is true that an attempt to COM
pei friendship between individuals
seldom produces the desired result
The man or woman who brings two
good friends together with the idea
of making them like each other as
well as he likes them has little
chance of success. 1t may not be
the essential contrary-mindedness
of human nature which causes the
intended boon companions to recoil
from each other, but it must be
something like that.
Everyone must have been aware
of a sensation of prejudice against
the person whose praises have been
sung too much. People who are
told they are certain to like a per-
son they have never met usually
begin with a stubborn determina-
ton not to like him.
To a recent British visitor to the
United States this peculiar twist in
human nature explains the misun-
derstandings between Americans
and Britons. There are too many
individuals and organizations in
both countries telling the two ma
tions they are bound to like each
other. He has Joined in singing the
national anthems of both nations at
meetings of a society whose pur-
pose is the encouragement of Anglo
American friendship, and on each
occasion has felt that neither song
was quite in tune or went we'll"
His solution is that both peoples
cease trying to like each other and
stop organizing for friendship. In
his opinion, international friendship
will come naturally and spontan-
between nations which enjoy,
rather than worry about, their mis-
understandings.
Milford chronicle., 1929-02-15
IT'S THE SERVICE THAT PAYS

1t isn't the accidents that make an
owner dissatisfied with his car. 1t
isn't the punctures; it isn't the fail
ure of parts. 1t isn't even the
amount of gas the car consumes
nor the amount of oil that it re-
quires. A great deal can go wrong
with car, but if the owner is used
to the machine and knows it's little
idiosyncrasies, he will make allow
ance for them and still maintain
in debate that the car he drives is
the best of it's class on the market,
and his particular bus the finest
product of it's particular vintage.
The thing that turns an owners
stomach against his car is to go to
the authorized" garage of the COM
pany that makes the machine and
ask for the replacement of some
part that has gone, and be told
by the manager of the station that
he hasn't that particular part; that
he has been trying to get one for
days; that the factory hasn't at
tended to his order; that he cannot
tell when the car can be fixed. That
is what makes the owners gorge
rise; that is what makes him swear
he will never buy another car of
that particular make.
The cars that become popular and
stay popular are those whose manu-
facturers insist that service stations
keep up their stock of parts, and
that their orders receive immediate
attention at the factory. The COM
panies that watch their service sta
tions, keep constantly checking
them up to see that they really are
equipped to service cars expedi-
tiously, are building up good will
that is their chief asset. A car
may be the best of it's kind at the
price, but if it's owner loses its use
for days, or even hours, because of
some failure in service, it is bound
to lose out in the long run. That
stands to reason, and the manufac-
turer who cannot grasp that point
might as we'll go into some other
business.

THE COST OF GOOD ROADS

Alarm is expressed by many tax
payers, when states and municipali-
ties borrow money for new road
construction. Some of these bor-
rowings in the past have been in
judicious. Many cases could be
found where bonds were issued for
roads and streets the surface of
which wore out long before the
bonds were paid off.
An expenditure for good roads is
different from many kinds of out
lay. A costly public building is a
good advertisement for a commun-
ity, but it does not usually save any
expense in running that city. Or
dinarily it costs more, because of
all the work necessary to keep up
that structure.
But when state or municipality
builds a fine road, there is a direct
saving of money to the citizens. 1t
takes less gas to run their cars over
that road, the tires do not wear out
so fast, cars will stand up longer
and with less repairs. Also a great
deal of time is saved to every farm
er, truckman, or business man who
uses that highway. These savings
are something enormous, and they
will often wipe out the cost of a
road in a relatively few years.
How far it pays to issue bonds for
such good roads is question.
Such loans may be necessary for
some states and municipalities.
But when you pay for an improve
ment by bonds, the thing in the
end costs a lot more, counting in
all the interest charges. Taxation
of gasoline is now provided in
nearly every state, and it is the
easiest way to raise big sum of
The people pay it few
cents at a time, and feel it less
than they will to get the bill in their
taxes. Also it forces people who
impose a special strain on the
roads, to come nearer paying their
share of the bill.
Letting any important road re-
main in poor condition imposes
heavy tax on the people dependent
on that road, and it is not good
policy.
