Stat lama Frews Fael Deere Issaed
by Adaalalatrallaa.
Positive recognition of tha automo
bile aa a public utility has come from
the Federal tiovernrnent In an official
bulletin Issued by the fuel administra
tion. This waa the order specifically ex
empting garages and service stations
from the ruling of January 17 requiring
the observance of what were generally
ailed the heatleas Mondays." It up
held the view that the automobile Is a
form of transportation of great value
to the country la war time and as such
snest be kept in running order.
In response to inquiries from motor
ists and automobile dealers all over the
country the fuel administration issued
the following bulletin:
"There Is nothing In the order of
January 17 to prevent the operation of
automobiles, motor vehicles of all
classes being considered aa coming un
der the head of public utilities. "
-This Is exactly the status which
enlightened manufacturers, dealers and
owners have been claiming for the mo
tor car for some time." said C. R. Nor
ton, general sales manager of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company, commenting
on the bulletin. -A contrary view ob
tained right up to the time when In
creased freights and Winter's severity
tied up the railway transportation sys
tem Into a hard knot. Then the gen
eral public discovered how necessary
motor transportation is.

NEW EMBERS SOUGH
OREGO.V STATE MOTOR ASSOCIA
TION STARTS CAMPAIGN.
Organisation Planning- Vailed Actio:
to Obtaia Better Laws
for Motorists.
The Oregon State Motor Association
has instituted a campaign for new
members. For the next few weeks, by
special action of the board of directors,
initiation fees will be remitted and
new members will be accepted upon
payment of f 11 for all dues to January
1. 1919. This -Includes a membership
In the American Automobile Assocla
tlon.
This alone la a valuable asset for
any person who does mucn touring.
for merely by presentation ot nts mem
bership card the tourist Is K'ven all
information the club may have where
he happens to Inquire.
The Oregon State Motor Association
is adopting a far more liberal policy
than Is in vogue in most automobile
clubs In furnishing road information to
non-members. President Frank K.
Watklns and the directors of the club
agree with the directors of the Auto
Club 3f Los Angeles that it Is a better
policy to give the non-member the in
formation sought, and at the same time
explain to him that the only way this
Information can be compiled and the
service continued is by tha support
of the members.
Members of, the Oregon State Motor
Association have a distinct advantage
over non-members. In that the member
ship card is accepted by the police in
ieu of bail in case tha bolder is ar
rested for any violation of the traffic
regulations.
'The police officer within the city of
Portland making arrest of holder of
this card for violation of the automobile
speed and traffic regulations," reads a
notice on the back of the card, signed
by Chief of Police Johnson, "will re
tain this card and immediately release
the party. The arrested party will not
be brought to the station.
Two principal reasons for tha new
membership campaign by the Oregon
State Motor Association are, first, to
obtain funds to cover the cost of fur
nishing' road maps, touring data and
the placing of road signs, and second,
to bring the membership up to a point
whereby, through concerted effort, the
next Legislature will have to listen to
the demand of the motorist for fairer
treatment. The legislative committee
f the club is already working on
programme for laws to protect the mo
torist that will be introduced at the
next Legislature, ... ( .,
