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 rs to 90
in the country, which required two
lamps in front and one back and an
additional number in front. The pen
atty provisions of the bill were ex-
|ceedingiy harsh, prescribing fines OF
from $40 to SIS for violating the spec
provisions for the first offense and s25
to $75 or to 30 days in jail for the
second. For a violation Of the eac-
ton compelling an autoist to stop.
when passing team the bill provi..-
ed penalty of from $1U to $50 fer
the first offense and Imprisonment of
from 30 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-
ton is solving itself. Mr.. Baker,
familiar with autos, insisted that
in another two years probably no
horses whatever would scare at autos
He said that a material objection 70
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 rs
possible and go straight ahead Stop
ping, he declared, was usually the
worst sort Of po'icy. Mr.. Thomas Of
Racine spoke of the great trouble his
people had from outside autest.;--.
those racing across the country from
Chicago. Mr.. Ainsworth, Waukesha
county farmer, objected to the bin
and said that the people of his county
were satisfied with the present law

other by autos. MIR. Glen came to tb !
fore as fluent and forcefu speaker.
declaring that most often the farmer
was scared when his horse wasn't

whimsical pretexts was finely calc,I-
lated to everlastingly keep horses
from getting used TO machines.
