DSMA ADVISES
WET WEATHER
CHECK OF CAR
Recent rainfall should nerve
aa remlndor to motorists that
this la a time when It Is wise to
check tha condition of the car
for the approaching spason of
more frequent wet wetithor, it
Is pointed out by the public
safety department of the Ore
gon Stat Motor association.
Emphasized by the motorists
organization was the fact that
rise In traffic accidents occurs
regularly every fall and winter,
indicating a need not only for
careful driving but for making
certain that various safety fea
tures of the car are in depend
able shape.
The importance of good
brakes, tires and 1 1 g h t a was
stressed In a series of sugges
tions, as follows:
"Check the lights regularly
and carry extra light bulbs. Ef
ficient lights, free from glare,
are moro necessary as the days
shorten and the amount of night
driving increases. Incidentally,
remember thot the law now re
quires use of the lower beams
when other cars approach.
"Have brakes in good order,
but keep speed down to a point
which will permit normal and
safa use of brakes. In other
words, avoid the necessity of
sudden and excessive braking
because of the danger of skid
ding on wet surfaces.
'Tires worn smooth are an
added hazard In wet weather
and should be replaced with well
treaded ones.
"Keep the windshield wiper
In proper working condition.
"Take time to bo safe in wet
weather," the automobile club
statement added. "Allowing
little extra time for reaching a
destination Is one of the things
which help avoid accidents dur
ing tha winter months."

With the approaching holi
days, highway safety and law
enforcement circles ore alarmed
by the Increase In traffic deaths
and are urging motorists to use
extra caution.
According to D. E. Pearce, lo
col representative of the Farm
ers Automobile and Truck Insur
ance exchanges, there was a re
duction In the number of motor
vehicle deaths in 1938 and 1939
for the first time in six years.
In 1938 there were 32,982
deaths, and in 1939 the death
toll Increased only 18 to a to
tal of 32.600.
The fnct that deaths did not
increase materially in 1939 is an
achievement in view of a six
per cent increase in motor ve
hicle usage.
Unfortunately, a recent sur
vey in 148 major cities shows
a total of 6399 motor vehicle fa
talities during the first 43 weeks
of 1940 as compared to 6108 for
the same period in 1939, an in
crease of five per cent.
. Unless Mr. and Mrs. American
Motorist uso extra care during
the rest of the year, motor ve
hicle deaths will again show an
increase.
Pearce appeals to tha citizens
ot Klamath Falls to do their
part in making streets and
highways safer. He suggests the
slogan, "Give a Thought to Save
a Life."

AIUXPRESS
RICHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 13
Ult Frank E. Tripp, general
manager of the Gannett news
papers, believes "If ever a last
word must be spoken for the
freedom and independence of
the American people that word
will come from the last gasping
issue of a newspaper.
Accepting the invitation of
Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickcs to comment on the cabinet
member's assertion that "the
press is not free," Tripp In a
lengthy open letter read Mon
day night before Gannett execu
tives declared:
"You observe that about 80
per cent of the press opposed
Mr. Roosevelt and that still he
was elected. That very fact
defeats your argument that the
press is not free. Can it be that
your idea of a free press, one
that you should like, is a press
that the government could con
trol as it does your pal the
radio?
"Now you know that radio Is
licensed by the government . . .
You know it is restricted by
rules from expressing any opin
ion. Newspapers can have opin
ions, so far anyway; can express
them, and do.
"What you mean is that you
don't like the kind of opinions
they express. That's ok. They
don't like yours either and they
are independent enough to say
so."
AGED TAX STATUTE
PORTLAND, Nov. 13 VP)
A forgotten law brought con
sternation to several Oregon
athletic and social clubs today
as the federal internal revenue
department presented a bill for
delinquent taxes.
Collector J. W. Maloney said
life members, active or honor
ary, must pay a 10 Der cent tax
on all dues or assessments paid
to the club plus a 100 per cent
penalty for delinquency.
Plowden Stott, former mem
ber of the Portland Multnomah
Athletic club's board of trustees,
estimated the tax on 290 mem
bers would range up to $112.90
each and would be doubled by
the penalty.
Verne Perry, Columbla-Edge-water

expressed belief the law, passed
in 1919 but nevjr enforced
hereabouts, would affect all
