Drastic automobile legislation is a
thing of the past in Wisconsin. The
assembly killed the Thomas bill
which reduced The speed from Il TO
10 miles in cities and from % to 20
in the country, which required two
lamps in front and one back and an
additional number in front. The pen
aIty provisions of the bill were eX-
tceedingly harsh. prescribing fines of
from $40 to $25 for violating the speed
provisions for the first Offense and So
to SIS or 49, to 80 days in jail for the
IsecOpd. For a violation Of the sec
ttjOn compelling an autOist to stop
fWhen passing q team the bill provi'.-
led penalty Of from $1U to $50 for
1.-THE first Offense and Imprisonment Of
from 80 days to six months for sub
sequent offenses. Mr.. Turner of Co.
lumbia, Mr.. Sprague of Walworth
and Mr.. Thomas of Racine made an
earnest effort to save the measure,
fighting vigorously for it, but tie
! house seemed to feel that, as Mr.
Baker, Of Evansville put it, the ques-
ltiOn is solving itself. Mr., Baker,
familiar with autos, insisted that
in another two years probably 10
horses whatever would scare at autos
He said that material objection %
the bill was that many autos actully
could not negotiate hills at the
prescribed speed. The best method
Of passing teams was not, he said, to
stop but to give as wide a berth IS
possible and go straight ahead. Stop
ping, he declared, was usually the
worst sort of policy. Mr.. Thomas Of
Racine spoke Of the great trouble his
lpeOple had from outside autoistS--
those racing across the country from
,Chtcago. Mr.. Ainsworth, a Waukesha
county farmer, objected to the bill
land said that the people of his county
were satisfied with the present law
a county more travelled than any
other by autos Mr.. Glen came to tn :
fore as a fluent and fOrceful speaker.
declaring that most often the farmer
was scared when his horse wasn't
that this sort of bill, which COM
ipeled autos to stop on all sorts of
whimsical pretexts was finely caIcu-
lated to everlastingly keep horses
from getting used to machines.
The bill was killed, sc to 30, as
