Motor Accessibility
Accessibility is a prime requisite for the"
successful maintenance of a motor truck at
minimum expense. .
You will find MACK trucks incorporate
more advanced principles of development
toward the accomplishment of accessibility
than can be" claimed for other makes of
trucks. This is the result of MACK engin
eering aftd twenty-four years of building
and perfecting motor trucks. '
MACK "trucks are built in two types. ,
The models under 3 tons capacity are known
as All; those over as AC. The motors are
identical except as to size. v
.Examine ttiese features of accessibility:
Ports in the side of the crankcase, removed
by a thumbscrew, permit inspection of the
shafts; Pistons and Connecting rods may be
drawn through the bottom without disturb
ing either shaft; the Camshaft may be with- y
drawn throngh the front; the Magneto and
Pump are located in front of the engine..
The AB power plant, including engine,
clutch, transmission and instrument board
may be removed as a unit. The AC engine
may be slid out the front by removing the
bumper. '

tors solely for the purpose of enforc
ing the provisions of. this few," said
Mr. Koter's letter. "It Is not In
tended that these field deputies or
inspectors shall in any way sup
plant the regular peace officers of
the various political subdivisions of
the state, the purpose being merely
to appoint additional officers to fur
ther aid in carrying Into effect the
requirements of the law providing
lor the registration of motor ve
hicles and the licensing of oper
ators and chauffeurs.
"Section 11 of said chapter 3
authorizes the secretary of state to
appoint three field deputies or in
spectors solely for the purpose of
enforcing the provisions of this law"
says Mr. Kozer's letter. It Is not
Intended that these field deputies
r Inspectors shall in any way sup
plant the regular peace officers of
the various political subdivisions of
the state, the purpose being merely
to appoint ' additional officers to
further aid In carrying into effect
the requirements of the law provid
ing for the registration of motor
vehicles and the licensing of oper
ators and chauffeurs. It being the
desire of the secretary of state that
such field deputies or inspectors as
may be appointed by him shall co
operate to the fullest extent with
the regular peace officers, and in
order that there may be a uniform
understanding of the provisions of
Go
Ti.rt ?w
the law, there has been prepared a
compendium of the Oregon motor
vehicle law. (chapter 29S. general
laws of Oregon. 1919). and the mo
tor vehicle operator' law, (chapter
3. general laws of Oregon, special
session. 1920). a copy of which, to
gether with complete copies of both
laws. Is being enclosed herewith.
By carefully reading these, it Is be
lieved that the various officers con
cerned will be enabled to fully ef
fectuate the purpose of the law.
"Within three or four weeks this
department will have completed the
issuing of operator's or driver's
licenses for all applications received
up to that time, and there should
be no further delay in enforcing
that provision of the law requiring
that such a license be In the posses
sion of every operator of a motor
vehicle within the state. In due
time the field deputies or Inspectors
appointed by the secretary of state
will visit the various communities
with the view of co-operating fully
with the local officers and aiding
and assisting them In enforcing the
provisions of the law. The secre
tary of state desires that the fullest
publicity be Riven the different pro
visions of the law in order that the
tesidents of every section of the state
may be familiarized therewith and
their co-operation enlisted in the ob
servance of the same.. If there are
sections ' of the law wherein the
language Is apparently not clear, or
where a doubt arises as to the proper
construction thereof, this office will
be pleased to aid you In any possible
way. and if there should be a differ
ence of opinion as to the meaning
of any provision, we will, upon re
quest, secure an official Interpreta
tion thereof from the attorney gen
eral.
"The belief has developed in some
sections of the state that persons
under the age of It years may. un
der circumstances, obtain licenses
or permits to operate motor ve
hicles. Such - Is not the case. The
operator's law (section 4. chapter 3.
laws special session. 1920) specifi
cally prohibiu the Issuance of a
license or permit to any person un
der the age of IS years, whether or
not such person be the owner of a
motor vehicle, and the same section
further enacts that no person, who
Is the owner, or custodian of any
motor vehicle, shall permit any per
son who Is less than 16 years of
age to operate or drive anl such
motor vehicle or employ any person
to operate or drive any such motor
vehicle who Is less than 18 years of
age and a licensed operator or
chauffeur.
"Section S of this lay provides for
the issuance by the secretary of state
of special licenses or permits to per
sons who are physically incapacitated
and the term 'phsically Incapacitat
ed' is defined to Include 'any person
who has lost the use of one hand
or one foot, or yno has lost the use
of both feet, or whose eyesight or
nearing.are greatly impaired.' The
impression seems to exist among
some that under the terms of sec
tion 5. a special license or permit
may be issued to a person under 16
years of age. but the attorney gen
eral nas neia that such a conclusion
is erroneous. In no part of the
law is there any authority riven to
the secretary of state or any other
oincer to issue to a person less than
is years oi age a license or nermit
to operate a motor vehicle, .under
any circumstances whatever.
"gome doubt has also arisen with
reference to the status under thl
lay of a non-resident motor vehicle
operator. Upon this point the at
torney general has ruled that while
the operator's law is silent in this
lespect. yet by reason of the, tm'rt
that the motor vehicle law. of yhlch
the operator's lay Is a Dart, do
specifically exempt non-resident
owners from registering their cars,
by a logical reasoning it must b
assumed that the legislature Intend-
ea to exempt non-resident operators
irom oDtatning operators' licenses or
permits. .. This fact, together with
the fact that there Is some Question
as to the authority of the state to
enforce the operator's regulation
against residents of other states,
makes it advisable, in the opinion
of the attorney general, to withhold
the enforcement of th Aiwntn,',
iw against non-resident operators
who have complied with the lava
of their own state regulating the
uperauon oi motor vehicles, nntil
