Saturday Ones Sale Prices DISCRETIOIJ ' USED AUT07.I0BILIST DECLARES To the Editor of The Chronicle: : v As viewed from the standpoint, of a business man, the owners of ; automo biles are at the present time ' being subjected to many hardships as a re sult of the rigid application of, certain laws, some of which are, foolish and others good, but applied without dis cretion and judgment. ; ' . Reckless , driving ' is . unwarranted and 'should r be prohibited ; under the penalty of heavy fines for the protec tion of the ' motorist-: as well "as the 1 public at lrge, DWt, reckless ; driving is not necessarily confined to a speed greater , than eight miles an hour. The driver of an automobile can display a - far greater degree of recklessness going at this speed on a street crowd ed with people, than , by driving. 30 miles per hour on an other S-treet free from traffic . and the same ' distance from our center of population, j What we need and should' have ;ls a law against reckless driving, regardless of the speeed, and not a law defining the speed - an automobile , can be driven, regardless of surrounding 1 conditions. There is no doubt but that the au- tomobilista of Charlotte are ' among our best citizen, and as a rule- are' men who. are recognized as law-abid ing citizens, all of -whom feel It an honor to ' have a part ih the enforce-: ment of our laws, but under the pres ent law, it is practically impossible tb start an automobile and dhange to- high gear if you should happen to be within half a block of the square and headed in that direction without breaking the law, Perhaps someone will say, don't change to high ' gear until after you i have passed the square.7 The answer to this is that if you do; not in all probability you will be; arrested .- for permitting smoke- to emit from the exhaust pipe of your engine, a condition that ' usually fol lows running, in low gear, particular ly if you have put sufficient oil In your car to properly lubricate the machin ery., it is proper . and -Tight to have a law . prohibiting . the ' fellow : ' who thinks' of .no one but himself rrom racing his engine, while . his car is standing and thereby filling nh ;air with .offensive odors," but In the name of justice, let us ; have erased from our books a law that is "so absurd as to make it possible for a - big police man carrying a big- stick to , alinost snatch from - his seat a man who al ready trembling with fear,:; thinking thathe may , -.be - arrested, for exceed ing the speed limit, .was running his car in low gear across ' the square and because" It was new ' and - had an over-supply of oil JnJ the engine, it discharged a 'small volume of. smoke from the exhaust pipe- A foolish ap plication of a good law, . you t say,; but is this the only instance ? Just ' a - few nights ago, one - of our best citizens decided to take a . ride in his : motor car and desiring to . be . classed, with those who loye the laws of his coun try, as well as for his own protection. he lighted . his lamps and started; for the fatal square, but unfortunately for him,- a cruel gusf of wind blew out his lamp on the rear of . his car, thus en abling the man of prey : to claim his victim and the city a fine of $10. i An other instance is that of "a well knowji real estate , man, who on returning to the city from a trip . In the . country, discovered that he - had 1 lost his rear number plate,, and while" on his way to the store to buy another, was ar rested and fined; $10.. for having lost his . numbeiy - . . There are ' other cases which could be given, ' but these are sufficient to demonsfrate the foolish, application of good, laws.; As all 'laws are. supposed to be founded n reason, it would ap pear that in each case given,:- a , sug gestion, from the officer to the offend ing 'party that he was not living up to the law, would have satisfied ; ws amDiuon to enrorce me law. xn noi a single instance--. would 4 either : of these people willingly violate , the law, but for reasons unavoidable and be yond their controlrfhey did break the letter of the. law and were all required to appear before the recorder. . The sensible application of the law pertaining to the, lighting of . lamps and the displaying of numbers, would result in the punishment ot the .wil ful offender! The law "is for the law less.
