But the persons and communities served by these railroads are not yet convinced they would not suffer from such abandonment. Understanding of the part the motor truck and bus are to play in distribution of freight and express and transportation of passengers is essential in shaping the attitude of communities toward them, and in settling the use and the responsibilities of The farmer's prosperity depends upon the demand for food. #Even though food is a fundamental need, the farmer as a general thing overproduces, and untiil he can find a satisfactory market for his overproduction his condition cannot be bettered. Polit-- ical farm relief realizes this fact but has no plan for disposing of surplus farm products. TEhe Eake County Register WILL MOTORS REPLACE RAILSI An analysis of the cost of operation of the motor truck as a freight carrier'is of interest, as indicating the extent to which this service is likely to prove a disastrous competitor of rail roads. No room is left for doubt as to the effect of the freight-- hauling truck upon short--line roads. Many of them have been put out of business. * In this state such a development has taken place to the serious concern of towns served by short--line railroads. Many of these lines ceased:to be self--supporting many years ago, and now that the motor truck has proved itself an economical trans-- portation agency on hauls up to forty--five miles railroad owners We often wonder why the Dept, of Agriculture is always trying to ex-- terminate every kind of bug but the be MA E20 T _ The oldest w'mmr in the coun-- try is 96. onder if he. regrets having formed the habit of reading postcards in early life.

The nation is indeed fortunate that this man will be its next president. 4 : Men and women who accomplish great things in this life always make enemies. Secretary Hoover has made enemies, but considering his achievements his critics are surprisingly few in number. His was always the "dirty work".to do. In a decade he has weathered several jobs that would have spelled political suicide for a man of average powers. # HOOVER: THE NEXT PRESIDENT In nominating Herbert Hoover for president the republican party has endorsed the Coolidge administration and its policies, achieved that which had long seemed inevitable, picked a man pre-- eminently fitted for the highest office in the land and found a man with an unblemished record both in private and public life. America has produced few Herbert Hoovers. He is a states-- man, not a politician. He is a public servant, not an office-- seeker. He is a republican, yet was indispensable to a decidedly democratic administration. And more than a decade in Wash-- ington has left no blot on his escutcheon. " Last year 10 per cent of the corn crop was converted in butyl alcohol, the basis for the production of lacquer. This is but one of hundreds of non--food products that are manufac-- tured from farm products, and there are hundreds of other uses The name of Herbert Hoover is synonymous with business efficiency and good government.

This deduction m§y be made irrespective as to whether the automobile was being operated by himself or an agent, at the time of the collision, and may be taken al-- though such damage resulted from faulty driving, but not where it re-- sulted from a willful act or: negli-- The decision was rendered in a case where an automobile was dam-- aged while in unauthorized posses-- sion of the taxpayer's chauffeur, who had taken the car for his own use without the owner's knowledge and against his orders.-- The auto-- mobile was overturned on an ity roadway. ; & The' Circuit Court . of *Appeals, which sustained the: taxpayer's con--. tention that he was entitled to the deduction, held that an automobile used for recreation and convenience would seem to be most closely ana-- logous to a pleasure yacht, and as Congress has made damages due to the latter, a deductible loss, the Act should be constructed to show an in-- tent to cover a wreck to an automo-- bile, similarly caused, inasmuch as such a construction can fairly and reasonably be given thereto." § The car, according to the fac'ts, was wrecked when it skidded on an icy street while being driven by the chauffeur, the Court finding --that while it was attributable to "faulty" driving, it was not done willfully or in such a way as to amont to neg-- ligence. -- C3 auffs 5 A total of 7,206 deaths attributed to automobile accidents were report-- ed during the 52--week period ending May 19, 1928,. in the 77 largest cities of the country, according to figures compiled by The Automobile Club of Illinois®: During the corres-- ponding period ending May 25, 1927, the total deaths, due to automobiles in the same 77 cities, aggregated 6,-- "The two decisions taken together mean that if a taxpaying motorist operates his car for business or pleasure and destroys it even though he is guilty of faulty driving, he may deduct from his next year's in-- come the damages sustained," it is pointed out by Si. Mayor Vice Presi-- dent of the Association and: Presi-- dent of "The Automobile Club of lilinois. "The difficulty is drawing the distinction> between _ 'faulty' driving and 'negligence.' The deci-- sions, however, clarify the law in that it makes no difference whether the car was being used for business or pleasure and also makes plain that should a motorist be struck by another car, he may claim and be allowed a deduction for his loss,"} Vice President Mayer explains. The decision closely follows a for-- mer decision rendered last.
