President E. G. Peterson of the Utah State Agricultural College, nt the annual meeting of the lt~arm Bureau at the Newhouse Hotel December 18, gave the following address under the title or "Agricultut·e in the American System." American agriculture is under· the continuous necesslly of or·ganlzlng itself in order to compote successfully with other branches of industry which are highly organized. Tht:r·e cnn he no doubt of this aA long as we maintain a system of economics based upon individual initiative profit. And let us not be discouraged 1f many organization attempts fall.

Henry H. Blood, elminnan of the state road commission, pre.sided. Also in attendance were M. H. 'Welling, secretary of state, designated In the new Jaw a.s commissioner, and G~Wrge A Seaman, his chief deputy; nll members of the public utilities commission of Utah, which has been designated by the state tax commission ns the agency to collect and enforce the taxes on n.utomoblles for hire; aud M. Logan Rich, representing Attorney General George P. Parker, law enforcement officer ot the state. Further conferences aro planned with regard to traffic regulations within to\\'D.S and cities, at which locill authorities wW be present, ft Is said. The new law specifies that all territory within the limits of dUes or towns arc "residence districts" except such as have been designated as business districts, and the latter must be clearly defined by stgns. The new law also permits local.autborities to raise, but not to lower speed limits within residence and business districts. Unless local officials take action the maximum speed shall be 20 mllcs nn hour in a business district and 25 miles an hour 1n a residence district. Elsewhere 45 m.lles an hour it permitted for passenger cars. buses and fur trucks weighing with load, up to five tons, when equipped with pneumatic tires. All speeds are subject to the "basic rule," which reads in part: "On all publ1c highways outside of the limits of incorporated cities and towns, It shall be unlawfuL for any person to drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent, ha'-·ing due regard to the traffic, safety and width of the highway, and the haznrd at intersections and any othe1· conditions then eJOstlng." The basic rule also requires the driver to have proper control of his machine, nnd to be able to decrease speed or to stop so as to avoid colllston. The secretary of state will promulgate regulations dcfinftely fixing standards for brakes. (l'hese may be, for ro.-runple, that the brakes must be able to stop within 75 feet any vehicle operated at the maximum legal speed and load. Regulations will be tssued covering load limits on all types of lrucks and traller11, so tl1at these legal limitations can be adequately enforced. The new law raises the load limits from a flat 20,000 pound.~ to 26,000 on two axlcJ;, anu 34,000 on three axles, with a maximum of 18,000 pounds on any onl' aXle. Tbc nltorney general will pass on the details of all regulations betore the) are issued. Purchase or stationary or portable scales or boU1 for use in determining whether loads earned on tnJCks arc \vithin the legal limit is under consideration by the state road commls· slon. Some of Ute bridges of the state on tmportant highways are designed to bear a ten-ton load weight. What would happen if two 17-ton trucks should meet on one of these bridges is a matter of guesswork, as yet. Any peace officer who has reason tD suspect tbnt a loaded truck does not comply with the weight limits of the law has authority to require it to tie driven to the nearest scales, within two miles. to be weighed. In addition to the maximum weight limits the law set up limits to the load proportioned to the width as well ns the kind of tire. The secretary of state has bad the new uniform traff1c law, effective January 1, .synopsized, and the followIng nre the maximum speed limits for any vehicle In Utah, as .set out In the pamphlet: 1. Fifteen Miles Per Hour: (n) When passing a school building or Its grounds, during a school recess or while children are going to or from schOQI dunng opening or clo!!lng hours.
