WANT NEW LAWS
TO PROTECT TRADE
big Manufacturing Industry Is
Jeopardized by the Pres
emf Statutes.

Motorists are deeply Interested in thu
proposed changes to the present Ere
linghuyseh law governing the use anc
regulation of the motor car.
1t has long been an open secret thai
the great majority of New Jersey auto
motorists chafed under the stringent
provisions of the present motor vehicle
act, claiming that several clauses con-
tained therein were unreasonable and
unjust, and that some demand for re-
lief would be made at the coming ses-
sion Of the Legislature was a foregone
conclusion.
Motorists have told the Board of
Trade that vast business interests
would be jeopardized by the continu-
ance on the statute books of AT least
one clause of the present law, namely,
that denying to motorists who live in
other States the reciprocal privilege of
touring through New Jersey without
the payment of a full years registra-
ton and license fee.
The fact that a practical boycott has
been instituted by some manufacturers
against New Jersey-made goods, until
such embargo against visiting motorists
has been raised, and that Newark alone
supplies some fifty different parts that
go to make up an automobile, creating
a business demand amounting to
s 5000, 900 in a year. shows how serious
the need is of reestablishing cordial re-
lations with the automobile interests of

asked in no uncertain terms for the re-

1That motorists, uninf1uenced by per-
s6nal business considerations, heartily
favor a change in existing conditions
in this regard, is evidenced by the fol
lowing resolutions passed by the trus-
tees of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club, the largest motoring or
ganization in the State:
"Whereas, some ill-feeling has been
caused against New Jersey manufac-
turers. by reason of the unfair and un-
Just automobile laws, to the extent that
