EVERY 20 MILES
OF
Aviation will not attain its maxi
mum possibilities until the country
Is dotted with adequately marked
landing fields spaced ten or twenty
miles apart.
This Is the view of Albert B
Jacobs, executive vice-president and
chief engineer of the Jacobs Air
craft Engine company of Fottstown.
Pa., who took off for Los Angeles
from municipal airport yesterday
forenoon, after being held here sev
eral days because of adverse weather
conditions In California.
Mr. Jacobs was returning "from
Seattle whither he flew from Los
Angeles, where he attended the na
tional aircraft show. He wag accom
panied by Mrs. Marty Bowman,
prominent racing pilot and wife 01
Les Bowman, Waco factory repre
sentative In southern California
Mrs. Bowman has several friends
here and last summer spent three
months at the Ollllland ranch In
Prospect. She has several trophies
for her speed flying.
Mr. Jacobs was flying his Waco
four-place cabin ship which haa a
cruising speed of 140 miles an hour.
It Is powered by a 385 horsepower
radial engine, latest product of the
Jacobs factory.
"With a system of landing fields
spaced1 about ten or twenty miles
apart flying would become so safe
as to encourage the purchase of
airplanes for private use," Mr. Jacobs
said.
"A person wou.3 tnen is?!
In golng'aloft." no reiaiea,
lng that he would never be more
than ten miles or so from an ade
quate landing field. If weather be
came bad, he could turn back to
.... n.M At. an altitude of
2000 feet he could always glide to
a field In case of engine or ...j
other trouble.
"As It Is now If BOme minor en
gine trouble develops the pilot must
keep going, searching for a landing
place and aggravating the defect
until It becomes serious. Then the
pilot Is liable to become panicky
and that Invariably means a crack-
UPMr. Jacobs spoke highly of the
municipal airport and was pleased
to know that modernization plans
are being carried forward.
That Is what the country needs
for aviation," he said. "Medford has
an excellent layout, with plenty or
room for expansion, and I hope the
plsn for Improvements will be ap
proved." Mr. Jacobs said he had enjoyed his
stay here and was especially grati
fied by the excellence of the weather
and ground service available at the
municipal, airport.

Austin-Western Road Machinery com
pany and the Loggers & Contractors
Machinery company, agents for the
Elgin sweeper. - '
The two bids were found to be
Identical, whereupon the council men,
the two company agents present and

laugh. The matter was referred to
the streets and roads committee con
sisting of Larry Schade, 0. F. Fllegel

In the history of (the two aweepers,
their accomplishments, their records
for efficiency and durability and their
distinctive features. But I don't think
the letters have made any impression
on me one way or the other. The
question will be decided solely on Its
merits."

FRIENDLY SUIT TO
TEST $10 FEE FOR
UPS' FILED
SALEM, Peb. 15. (API Initial aU
tack upon the new state law requiring
a $10 tee for vehicles of the pickup
and light delivery types, with a com
blned weight and load limit of 4.000
pounds or less, was nude in the Ma
rlon comity circuit court here today
before Judge L. H. McMillan.
The ittack was Instigated by W. 8.
Boatman, farmer of Tillamook county.
In i friendly complaint against the
secretary of atate. whoa office has
charge of collecting the feea. The
act was passed by the 1934 session of
the legislature.
Attorneys for the plMntlff argued
that the act was discriminatory
against the farmer and against own
ers of light pick-up trucks In that It
assessed them higher for license plates
than farmers operating motor trucks
of more than 4.000 pounds.
The law previously permitted farm
era operating motor trucks for their
own uso to obtain license rates at
half the cost regularly assessed. The
new law deflnea motor trucks aa care
having i combined weight of 4.000
pounda or more, and those weighing
less than 4,000 pounds must pay the
flat 110 fee with no portion reduced
to the farmers.
Attorjveye declared that in many
Insancea the heavier trucks paying on
l weight basis received license plates
for less than 10, while those operat
ing the lighter cars were not entitled
to a reduotlon.
The ict iflecta ibout 18.000 truck
operators and the case here was
watched with considerable Interest.
It was this law to which William
U. Carle, former Preabyterlan minis
ter, residing on Lake creek, protested
when arrested and haled Into Justice
