MEMORIAL-MINDED

The legion and other civic minded
clubs in the county should combine
to arrange to erect memorials Of
some sort for the lives or the deeds
of those Of our people in this county
who have distinguished themselves in
outstanding ways.
We are thinking particularly of our
World War boys. So far, the Blum's
Almanac is the only place we know
that is easily available for us to learn
that Ashe county has the distinction
and honor of being the birthplace of
Edgar Parsons, the first North Caro-
linian to fall in the World War. It is
a duty we owe to ourselves to see
that some sort Of recognition is given
to this man other than the cross that
marks his grave in France.
We have long begged the public to
plant trees for beauty to our roads
and streets, but it might behoove us
to beg that a memorial avenue of
trees to our soldiers be planted at
some suitable spot in the county.
Bronze tablets could be placed on the
trees at intervals giving something
of the history of the dead. Or, those
who distinguished themselves and are
yet living might claim a placard.
We learn from the Western N. c.
Heroes of the World War column in
the Asheville Times that Emory L.
Butler, of this county, was awarded

A man has recently explained an
automobile accident that happened
while he was at the wheel by saying
that he lost control Of the car when
he made a quick turn to dodge a
ghost that jumped out Of grave
yard. Maybe so, but we will warrant
if it was a ghost it was the ghost Of
the spirit of moderate speed, long
dead. Various origins may be assign
ed specifically to motor car misahps,
but back of them all lies one funda-
mental cause. It is safe to say that
ninetJ-nine automobile accidents out
of hundred could have been avoided
if someone had not been stepping on
the gas with too great pressure.

A few days ago the Treasury plac-
ed hundred million dollars worth of
three percent thirteen year bonds on
the market under unusual conditions.
The public was asked to bid on the
securities, no bid less than par to be
considered. Primarily, the govern
ment sought to play winning game,
since the bonds could not be parted
with at less than face value, and all
that was derived over and above face
value was so much velvet. The plan
was an announcement that the treas
ury considered it's paper to be worth
par at least, and if the buying public
expressed willingness to pay a little
more than par, the total effect would
be to stabilize the value of the issue.
If the bidding system can be put into
operation on a larger scale, govern
ment securities will stand on a pc
culiarly firm foundation. The value of
a thing is what someone is willing
to pay for it voluntarily.

Germany does not think, as many
have predicted, that future wars will
be fought entirely in the air. She pro-
poses to be able to move troops,
artillery, supplies, etc., over the solid
ground in automobiles at a speed
better than sixty miles per hour with
one car for every four infantrymen
in case of emergency. In 1862, Stone
wall Jackson bred fear in the hearts
of his opponents by a move on Wash
ington through the Shenandoah
Valley. Just as he seemed certain of
being pinched to destruction by
armies which were but twenty miles
apart, he slipped away to safety
through the narrowing gap of his
foes. Military annals embody many
other instances in which the outcome
of a campaign: has been decided by
speed Of travel or lack of it. Germany
is not only studying about another
war but she is reading history to
further perfect her methods.

AUTO DRIVERS
TO RE-REGISTER
IN SEPTEMBER

BISBEE, Aug. l6.-Plans of the
motor vehicle division of the Ari-
zona highway department to force
the re-registration of all automobile
drivers in Arizona, starting Sept.
1, as a move to make drivers
safety conscious, were outlined
here yesterday by D. B. Hutchins,
vehicle superintendent of the de-
partment.
Hutchins is completing tour of
the state in behalf of the plan,
during which he has obtained the
cooperation of law enforcement
agencies in every locality in which
he has visited. He was assured the
cooperation of both Sheriff I. v.
Pruit, Of Cochise county, and Chief
of Police Jake Ramsower of Bisbee,
both officers expressing their ap-
proval of the campaign.
"We have found through statis-
tics, commented HutchinS, that
in the states which have adopted
q similar re-registration plan the
deaths through traffic accidents
have decreased, at least slightly,
since 1926 while in states which
have no such safety conscious plan
the death rate has increased. Ari-
zona, for example, which has never
before tried such a plan is facing
a constant increase in auto fatali-
ties each year."
Special examiners will be appoint
ed to re-register all automobile
drivers. It is estimated that IT'S, 900
drivers will ne registered, giving an
idea Of the tremendous task ahead
of HutchinS and his staff.
An effective feature of the new
registration plan is that one por-
ton Of the card issued drivers will
be reserved for citations and con-
victions by judges, municipal and

Hutchins, will be most effective in
making the motoring public safety
minded The driver will be made
to familiarize with traffic laws Of
which he is probably ignorant in
many cases now. For example many
drivers perhaps do not know now
that it is a misdemeanor to pass
another car on curve, practice
which has resulted in hundreds Of
accidents in the state the Last few
years. Does the average driver
know that it is against the law to
pass a car as it goes over a rise

seen at safe distance. These and
other hazards will be brought to
the attention of the driver and will,
I am sure, materially reduce the

the commission owned $3.50, 900

is of great Importance in the work.

Mr.. Babbitt also said that he felt
that some provision should be made
for the bonds in the budget.
He was told by Bettwy that no
increase could be made by the city
in budget at this time. II can not
increase the budget at this meet

Gil levy for interest and IS per cent

He, too, was told by Bettwy that
the budget could not be increased.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Speaking on behalf Of the cham
Der of commerce, Attorney James v.
Robins asked that budget items be
reduced so that the $3.50 appro-
priated to the publicity fund,
(Cha1nber of Commerce), would fall
within the ten per cent check re-
quired by law.
Harry Karns added that every
one knew the budget was Illegal un-
less some action were taken to place
the publicity fund within the check.
"Lets cut it out altogether and
stop this argument" Bettwy said
angrily.
E. K. Cumming then spoke In
favor Of the appropriation, stating
that all benefited by the Chamber
of Commerce.
Upon motion by E. S. Edmonson
the fund set aside for q new truck
was cut to allow the chambers
money to go into the regular bud
get.
The tentative budget as amended
was then adopted by a unanimous
vote Of those present.
"Let the record show that my
bank takes exception" Zepeda said.
Shortly afterward the council ad-
journed at 1918 a. m.
TO TAX GAMES
Shortly after the close of Mon
days meeting, the council inform
ally instructed City Attorney Cor

This action follows a similar move
by Tucson where the city attorn-

The new ordinance is to be pre-
