AUTOISTS WANT
ONLY One ELICENSE
National Association to Meet
in Washington to Work
For That Object

Uniformity in automobile laws is at

II deserves throughout the counry.
Scores OF state associations and clubs
have for some time recognized this
necessity and have been working for
its accomplishment in their respective
states. The Legislative Board Of the
American Automobile Association,

uniformity in automobile laws as a
subject deserving Of the same careful
attention, which for years has been
given to many other legal questions
widely recognized as urgently needing
uniform legislation, is about TO bring
tho matter more prominently before
the country at large by the first Ma
tional Legislative Convention, which
will be held in Washington, ID. G.,
February is. 16 and II.
At this February convention dele
gates from all the clubs in the national
organization have been requested TO
attend and invitations have been ex-
tended TO the Governors OF all the
States in the Union inviting them 20
be present in person or by one or
more officially accredited representa-
tives
The purpose of the convention Is
two-fold-first, TO secure the passage
IN Congress OF the Federal Motor
vehicle Registration bill, and second,
20 bring before the official delegates
Of the various States the necessity OF
