On Federal Motor Vehicle

The legislative board OF the American
Automobile Association has done very
effective work II modifying harsh and
unreasonable laws, but greater results
are looked for during the first legisle-
tive convention TO be held In this city

iCct Of this measure is to permit inter
state travel of automobiles by the sim
pie method OF one registration through q
national bureau in Washington. The
proposed regulation will be effective in
all States, and will permit touring in
any section without the necessity Of Sc
curing a special license in a dozen or
more States, as Is now often necessary.
