One reasmi why the admin istration was ^luctant to advocate that policy was U-cause of very tiefi- nijte mformaliim that most of the stall's don't want to harrow money for such purpo.'ses. It was just one of those things lione. in a presidential year for jiolitical effect, like a great many of the rest of the things done by thi.s eongres.s. A lot of the things that special in terests were demanding of congress, some of which might have got through if it hKl not Wen for the political con-j part is within (20) feet ■ of the center | of'.said roadway, or when parktHl ori stopi'ed within a busine.ss or residen tial district having street lights. These rules and regulations (ex-j cept the requirements as to lights) : shall not apply in the ease of any motor vehicle or other vehicle which is disabUni in^uch manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily) leav ing such vehicle in such position on a state highway.

Some of them will die in the meantime, but there are some pro- or leaving their vehicle at any place or in any position on or along state highways that may result in undue poaals which wiU make headway and, immnvenience to other u,- probably become law before thia time highway, and all auch op- next year. One of these is the general manufacturers’ sales tax. It is the be lief not only of its friends, but its op ponents, that the public, lt|a^ l^rd much and shown so much approval 80+ of , this proposal that it is certajn to be put into the laws next winter. A good many of the taxes in the revenue hill that got through are limited to terms of one or two years. Keep an eye out for the national sales tax as a fixed permanent government policy, after the election is all over, no matter which party wtwns. There is little likelihood, those clos- ei^ators or drivers are further re quired to cooperate with police au thorities in every reasonadile way to promote the safety and convenience of the travelling public. These regulations shall not serve: to repeal any regulations of any! municipality through which state' highways may pass, but are to be! considered and construed as cumu lative to any such regulations. Any person who violates these rules and regulations shall he deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor, punish able by a fine of not less than Ten ($10.00) Dollars nor more than One _ .. est in touclTwith such things say, of.
