UNIFORM AUTO
LAW GAINING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. U.P) =
The movement for uniform basic
regulations governing automobile
traffic is rapidly gaining headway
according to statistics. compiled by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
The AAA summary shows that
much legislation toward this end
was enacted in the legislature
meetings in II states, all of which
met this year.
With regard to registration" the
report says, lit can be said that as
a general rule, q motoTist who has
complied with the registration and
license laws of his own state will
have few difficulties. This applies
even to the visitor in states requir-
ing an operators license Of their
own residents.
IN six states-namely Califor-
MIA, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
Washington, and West Virginia, a
nonresident must secure a dri-
ver's license. A visitor in the lat
ter three states, however, need not
secure a license to drive his own
car if he resides in state where all
operators are licensed after an ex-
animation"
Speaking of speed laws, the as
sociation points out that the regula-
tions vary from 25 miles per hour
limit in Missouri to so miles in
North Dakota. Nineteen states have
discarded the idea of set speed
limit, substituting a reasonable and

PENNZOIL NOW
FEATURED BY
LOCAL FIRM

Motor Hardware and Equipment
company long has been the head
quarters for the purchase of needs
for automobiles and trucks, and the
345 State streeL office Is well
known among Imperial Valley mo-
tor car owners.
The company this fall is featur-
ing Pennzoil for which this con-
Germ Is the valley distributor. This
popular fabrication, according to
company management, is available
at all leading service stations.
Each motor is as different from
every other motor as are individ-
uals and it is imperative that the
oil be fitted to the particular mo-
tor. Pennzoil makers have this fact
in mind when preparing their
products.
Pennzoil lasts longer, lubricates
better, and costs less per mile, ac-
cording to Leslie C. Harrington.
manager of the Motor Hardware
and Equipment company.
"Savings as high as IL per cent
on gasoline mileage are possible
when using the proper grade OF
Pennzoil,'' Harrington said

without exception.

'The issues that determine the adherence of the
South to the Democratic party so transcend the
prohibition question in Importance that it is regret
able that Democratic leaders have seen fit to make
repeal test of party loyalty. The repeal amend
ment represents the contamination of great social
movement instituted by people of every conceva-
bile political faith against experiment noble in
purpose but injurious in practice. The Democratic
marty should neither claim credit for repeal nor
assume responsibility for the problems it may
public is more fundamental than that of the party;
and in regard to the individual, his vote should be
guided by conscience rather than coercion"
The Times-News cannot refrain from d.
recting attention to the warning given by
Dale Miller in the concluding paragraph of
the foregoing article. He says the Demo-
cratic party should not claim credit for re-
peal or assume responsibility for the prob
lens it may create. The last part of this
warning is something for Democrats to re-
member. If they make repeal a party is
sue and try to claim the credit for taking
the Amendment out of the Constitution,
and are successful, they will be compelled
to accept the responsibility for whatever
happens in connection with the liquor traf-
fic in the future. That a great number of
very disagreeable and vexing things are
going to happen if the country repudiates
prohibition is as certain as death and taxes.
Is the Democratic party willing to accept
the responsibility?

SOMETHING BESIDES INVESTIGATION

Senator Royal S. Copeland, chairman of the
URited States senate committee investigating rae
keteering estimates that We contribute ten to ff-
teen billion dollars annually to the various sorts of
racketeers in this country
We don't know whether Senator Copeland has
any real statistics this subject, but if he
gerates only ten or fifteen times the amount of
our loss by this modern business" it is billion
dollars too much
The Senator takes note particularly of the kid
mapping racket, of which there are two or three
startling cases before the country right now, and
says "some way must be found to deal with this
hideous racket"
Which is the point to the whole business
We don't really need any senate investigations
or any other kind.
What we need is to do something about it
the whole business of racketeering, kidnapping and
every other sort
We know what is going on. The police know 8
good many of the criminals who are responsible
| for it.
We don't even need some 'way to dear' with
them as much as some more practical and persis
tent use of the means we already have.
New ways" will be likely to develop fast enough
If some real activity along the present ways
proves ineffective
Let's try starting something besides an investiga-
tIon.
And right now seems like mighty good time
to get that something under way-Rock Hill. s. C.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
FREEDOM, GOOD BYE!

A list of all cotton growers who did not take
part in the government plan has been asked by
government headquarters at Washington.
To put this in the best light, you might say that
the purpose may be to extend campaign OF edu-
cation in preparation for future attempts of gov
erament to work with the farmers. You might
guess this purpose because the listing is to include
when possible the farmers did not take part
in the plan.
But to US this looks like an attempt to dragon,
to Sut pressure on the American farmer
In wartime we saw that individual freedom
which we had always considered the outstanding
feature of the American political system put into
pawn on excuse that the cause of victory would
thereby be helped.w
Now, engaged as we are told in war of eco
Monies, it appears more and more that the freedom
of the individual is light thing to be tossed about
in the hands of the administrations departments as
la few choose.
There can be no excuse, in the request for this
listing, that the government wants to help in the
future those who help its plans now. For the list
asked is of those who do not help. We are forced
TO believe that the list is wanted for purposes of
different kind.
Like the industries, the farmers must be got
ten into line" it would seem. Those who do not
jump into step with the government, whether in
agriculture or business, are "peacetime slackers."
See how the old terms of wartime are being used
for this peacetime "war?'
We had "war for democracy" Now we have
an economic war in which this nation of "democ-
racy" is set apart from the rest of the world.
Both times, that freedom of the individual which
we thought the foundation and the keystone and
the capstone of true democracy is taken from US.
We never received back as much had before
the World war; shackles of laws and taxes re-
manned upon
Win there have to be, some future age, "war'
to win again the freedom for the individual and to
reform new democracy within the geographic
borders of our present United States.-GoldsborC

of See-Off mountain on top OF
the Blue Ridge. Grapes are also
sensitive to local influence. Near
ly every farm may have one or a
few areas specially adapted to
some particular crop. This is
notably the case with strawber-
ries.
1t need hardly be pointed out
that these Typographical varia-
tions are splendidly promotive of
local water-pOwers and easy use
Of local water-systems, for gray
ity flow Of pure water for pur-
poses of domestic use, for fish
ponds, or for general farm sup
ply OF irrigation if desirable.
Many farms have such gravity
systems.
The topography also promotes
scenic beauty and lends itself to
landscape architecture. The homes
on the hill-tOps or slopes COM
handing noble panoramic views
of mountains, wales, and rivers
are a typical characteristic of
valley life.
The Typographical features also
lend themselves admirably for de-
veloping a system of fire protec-
ton when their advantages shall
be fully utilized. There can be
a lake in every cove; and the
coves average a mile, more or
less, apart. Little streams issue
from the smaller coves nearly
every few hundred yards. These
rivulets nearly always have water
falls in their courses and they
lend a peculiar aesthetic charm to
the countryside. There are prob
ably no fewer than a thousand of
these small streams running di-
rectly into the French Broad
from the mountains on each side !;
and at least as many more into
the larger tributaries. One might
say that there is hardly a square
mile in our valley, except on the
very SUBMITS Of the mountains,
in which there are fewer than
half-a-dozen Of watercourses,
large or small. Needless to say
there are also innumerable
springs of pure and abundant
water.

WILMINGTON, Del. January T.
Suit was filed in Chancery Court yes
terday by United. States Senator DAN
iel o. Hastings, as receiver Of General
Theatres Equipment, Inc, against VIII
liam Fox and All Continent Corpora
ton, seeking cancellation of assoc, 900
Of notes Of General Theatres held by
All Continent.
The bill of complaint stated that in
April, 1880, General Theatres agreed to
give Fox a participation to the extent
of 10 per cent in any purchase by Gen.
eral Theatres of stock of Fox Film Cor
poration, and that the concern would
use its best efforts to increase FoxS in
terest up to an additional 10 per cent.
The same month, the bill stated,
General Theatres acquired 900 600
shares of Fox Film Glass A stock. Fox,
it was explained in the bill, claimed to
be entitled to 20 per cent of this block
OF stock at $50, the price paid by Gen.
eral Theatres.
After the suit was filed an order was
issued by Chancellor Wolcott restrain
ing All Continent from diSposing of the
notes of General Theatres, the stock
formerly held by All Continent as COL
lateral for the notes and also from at
tempting to enforce the notes.
An application was made on behalf
OF the receiver for a temporary injunc-
ton and the chancellor ordered that
this application be heard on February 3.
