WNDNEHDDAY, Mllllll «I, l»UN. THE DAYTON TKIHl NK PAGE TWO Dayton tribune Motor Quips JOHN E. BLACK, Editor and Publisher. Two aspects of the prophecy that 1928 will mark the greatest ad vance in street and highway safety in their full importance are those relating to the improvement in both automobiles aud highways, in the opinion or Frank Reusswig, direc tor ot Public Safely of the Oregon State Motor Association. The year, now new. already has seen the re markable advance recorded In mak ing automobile Inherently safer, and the end of the Winter period will mark the start of equally great pro gross in street and highway construc tion. Mr. Rueaawig believes "There is no question that the In tensive concentration ot the Nation'« intelligent thought on the subject of safety, reflected In what will be a nation - wide, year-round campaign toward the end of reducing traffic accidents, will bear desirable fruit,'' he says. "Bulwarking this greater Interest and broader educational campaign are the changes to be wrought In the two main physical causes of accidents the automobile and the street or highway. "In the auto's realm, we have marked the passing of the two- wheel brake on passenger cars. Now. almost every make from the cheapest to the most expensive, has four-wheel brakes and. equally im portant. the best four-wheel brakes ever produced Greater flexibility, marvelous ease of steering, generally easier operation throughout its whole range ot action - these are features of the 1928 car that will contribute immeasurably to the cause of safety. "As the echanges in street and highway construction, the current year will witness widening and straightening operations of obvious ly vital consequence. It will also see the improvement of secondary roads which will divert a part of the traf fic burdens from main arteries of tra vel. "The result of these changes in evitably will be greater safety."

SUBSCRIPTION - $1.50 PER YEAR STRICTLY IN ADVANCE ONLY THREE HAYS The state of Oregon has several reform organizations that are actively <ng:ige,l in fighting further exploitation of the taxpayer, and by reducing taxation thev seek to promote the development of the state. I his is to be accomplished by the Greater Oregon Association and State I axpayer s Association. The state faces a two-million-dollar deficit this year in rev- tnues, and the Greater Oregon Association helped defeat $1 5,000,00 of initiatives on the special election ballot in 1927. There are three ways open to any organization tor the reduction ot taxes on property, real or personal, and to reduce taxes on the homes, home-owning, land-cultivation and industries with payrolls. I hey are: First—Reduce numerous boards, commissions, regents, etc., and adopt the direct cabinet system where the Governor appoints heads of cabinets, (subject to removal for failure in economical or constructive policies). The sixty-odd boards and commissions are nearly all engaged in swelling demands for revenues and join in increasing taxes and appropriations, and cannot reduce the fixed charges of government. Second—Increase the volume of state revenues by license taxes on dance halls, pool halls and all forms of nonproductive sports, amuse ments, luxuries, not necessary to support of family lite, that do not em ploy labor, but collect money every day, including Sundays. Third—vote down all devices for new forms of taxation on lands, im provement on same, homes, legitimate business or industries employing la bor, and proposed state income taxes. The new Commission to reduce property taxes, taxes in counties, cities and minor subdivisions is composed of a board of 35 created by the legis lature. They are sincere in wanting reduction of taxes and overhead ex penses, but agree that it cannot be done by inventing new forms ot taxa tion in addition to all we have now. Revenue conditions in Oregon are such that ownership of property is becoming less desirable, and development of the State will be almost im possible, wi'hout a material reduction in the general tax rates. COUNTRY VS. BIG CITY IDEALS Without discussing party politics in the least, there is a deeply under lying issue involved in selection of a president for Our Country for the next four years. Considering the so-called political machines which strive for national control and domination, is there not bound up in the issue the distinction arising between the city-bred and the country-bred political ideals V In other words, has not Our Country found its highest expression in men of the Washington, Jefferson. Jackson, Lincoln, Coolidge country community type of leaders'? Has not our nation turned toward the country-bred type for its highest manifestations of political leeadership—men produced by the smaller communities, rather than those trained in the political life and demands of big cities ? From the congested centers of great cities has been produced a differ ent type of statesmanship, not understood by the masses of citizens, who might be called country-bred. Is not this a real and vital issue on which the American people will divide in 1928? Halbert Elden Hoss is making a strong cry for secretary of state. He may not be obligated to any political dictators but he cannot overlook the favors he is asking of his newspaper friends. Such a coupe on the news papers makes it pretty hard for a private citizen to get a word in edgewise. Spring is rapidly arriving in all its glory. March 21 marks officially the opening but the flowers and green of spring have been here for some time. We saw several kids running around over the week-end barefooted. It won’t be long till they will be rigging up the old spring-board. Grand Island — $4.000 warehouse McMinnville will build a $35.000 high school gymnasium.. being built for local cannery.

Winter’s declining days provide many a pitfall for the motor car own er and. in their turn, thesee are re sponsible for numerous car maladiees which might be prevented by taking a little thought of past experience, according to George O. Brandenburg, secretary of the Oregon State Motor Association. who warns that the first warm day should not arouse thoughts of getting rid of the ear's anti-freeze or.of substituting heavier lubricant in the crankcase, transmis sion or differential. "The first robin may be a sure sign of Spring—eventually." says Mr. Brandenburg. This club and others of the 958 that make up the nation wide chain of the American Automo bile Association have found, how ever. that many motor car owners assume Spring to have arrived coin cidentally with the first warm day or the first robin. Acting upon this assumption, they regard the time as ripe for getting rid of many of the essentials of safe cold-weather mot oring. Anti-freeze solutions are drained from radiators and cooling systems. Heavier lubricants are sub stituted in the engine, in the crank case and in the differential.

The service records of the Oregon dub and oilier» of the A A. A. are filled with items ot fro sen radiators and cars that cannot be started due to the changed form of car-care. "The only safe procedure to fol low la that of knowing that Spring does not come In with a rush but that a warm balmy period la often followed by a bitter cold one. The cur, accordingly, must be kept on a Winter diet until It la clear, beyoud a doubt, that Winter la past." There has been a total of 1065 3 in I lek of Federul-Ald Highways com pleted In Oregon as of June 30, 1927. of a total of 2814 miles approved to the date, according to Hr. E. H Mc Daniel. president of the Oregon State Motor Association, one of the 958 motor clubs affiliated under the em blem of the American Automobile Association. Dr McDaniel said there was a to tal of 93 6 miles completed during the fiscal year ended June 30. 1927. The Federal-Aid highway system now Includes 185,772.3 miles of roads selected by the constituted stale and federal highway officials us of primary importance for the ac comodation of Interstate highway traffic. Dr McDaniel continued: "Compared with the three mil lion miles of other highways in the 1’nltod States, they are the most im- rortant of the nation's highways and their Improvement as expedi tiously as possible is an economic necessity of the highest Importance. The A. A. A Is solidly behind the Fvderal-Ald program, having spon sored it from the time It was first brought before Congress, and only recently made a determined stand for the continuation of the program on an undiminiahed scale "Approximately a third of the system has already been Improved with federal assistance, and. with the exception of 7.469 miles, the 64.- 209.7 miles now reported as com pleted have been built since 1931. To this mileage the roads at pre sent under construction and definite ly planned will add nearly 12.500 miles." -------------- g-------------- STATE MARKET AGENT By Seymour Jones.

The booklet, composed of 24 pages, contains quotation* from lend ers such us Dr. Frank M Surface, economist of th« United States Grain corporation, and Dante Pierre, editor of the Iowa Homestead In addition to this there are many quotations from correspondence between Mr. Hoover and President Wilson and other prominent figures of those days.
