SAFETY FIRST
IS SLOGAN
Mack Truck Bus Drivers Start
Safty Campaign, Signing Agree
men Before They Drive
There is an ole saying that “Char

it is learnec chat the Irtrenational
Motor Co., manufacturers of Mack
buses has taken the first steps to
wards inaugurating an extensive
safety campaign among its own driv
ers in the hope that the idea will
spread to drivers and operators of
thousands of buses on our city streets
and national highways.
The agreement, which Mack bus
drivers in the Long Island plant of I
the company are signing, is as foi- '
lows;
“In accepting this assignment, I am
determined that my first considera-:
tion will be the safety of my passen- |
gers and other occupants of the high- 1
ways.
“I will not operate this vehicle,
unless the brakes are in first class
condition and I will test personally
the brakes to rpake sure they will,
act properly in the case of emerg-,
ency. I
“I will take every precaution
against the hazard of fire and will
stop my engine before replenishing
my gasoline supply.
"I have authority from the state
to operate a motor vehicle of the
above class and know motor vehicle ]
laws and ordinances of the states in
which it is to bo operated, and will
obey them.
“I am familiar with tne rules pf
the road and my constant endeavor
will be to make my passengers com
fortable and to show courtesy to oth
er occupants of the highways.
“I will always sacrifice speed for
safety. I will always drive, first with
care, comfort and courtesy, last with
speed.”

ON TAX QUESTION

Mellon.
The lower bracket of the income
tax reduced normal income taxes
one per cent, and increased exemp
tion from SI,OOO to $1,500 for sin
gle men, and from $2,000 to $2,500
for married men. A man with a
wife and no children who draws an
income of $5,000 would only have to
pay SB.OO under this revised scale of
taxes, said Mr. Crisp.
“The highest bracket of surtax
was reduced from 40 to 20 percent
and .this applies on incomes of $lO,-
000.000 and over.
