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."

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.

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.
"In Oregon, where many trips are
taken into the mountains and to
higher altitudes, it is wisest to wait

eliminating safe-guard* fur cold
weather. 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."
