Dr. George Potter president of Shurtleff College urged substituting a rule of reason for the 95 mile per hour speed limit in Illinois during a St Louis branch meeting of the Alton Automobile Club at St John church after dinner. He argued laws should be obeyed and that long straight highway stretches can be safely driven at 45 or 50 miles an hour, warning against defying law regardless of its merit and highlighting the car clubs role in fostering fellowship and national connectivity.
