Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

A state supreme court decision which
will interest motorists everywhere was
rendered at Trenton recently by JUS
tice Reed in the case of Richard H.
Johnston, who courted arrest about
two years ago by going through New
Jersey without a license tag, carrying
some tools to his firms Philadelphia
branch. This, the attorney of Mr..
Johnston claimed absolved his client
from the necessity of paying special
license to cross New Jersey, as he was
carrying the tools of his trade and
therefore was under the protection or
the interstate commerce law.
Justice Reed decided differently and
advanced some rather startling ideas
as to the rights of non-residents on the
roads of the state. This is in direct
opposition to the decision rendered by
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

the learned Judge Cooley of the
supreme court of Michigan some years
ago. 1t would seem also that Justice
Reed believes that II is necessary to
license a man in order to cause his
return to the state for any misde-
meanor This is also contrary to
general application of the common law:
Charles T. Terry, national counsel OF
the Automobile Manufacturers as
sociation, an eminent legal authority
on automobile law, In conversation with
The Herald recently, and In answer to
an invitation for an expression OF
opinion, said: 81 have not yet seen
the decision by Justice Reed, but II 1t
is as you state, l do not believe 1t
will be hard to have 1t reviewed. and
very possibly reversed. The next move
will be an appeal to the court of errors

is regarded as a dangerous engine, II
used otherwise than under the control
provided for by the legislature. 1t Is
apparent that these restrictions upon
the manner in which highways shall
be used by automobiles can only be
made effective by penalties and the
penalties can only be enforced by
reaching the owners of such machines.
"a provision for impounding the ma
chine itself would be valid, but while
valid. would be inefflcacious, because
the speed of the automobile is such
that in most instances the machine it.
self would escape arrest. Resident
owners can be reached by service of
process within this state, while nom
voluntary appearance, are immune
from service. Thus, while legal pro-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

ceedings to enforce the penalties for
violating the automobile law can be
taken in the courts of this state as
against residents, yet as to nom
residents, in the absence of provision
like the one in question, such enforce
ment would mean numerous suits In
other states In the Union from New
York to California. or perhaps In other
continents.
"In view of the present need Of a
vigorous enforcement of these laws for
the protection of all other users of the
highways, am of the opinion that the
condition imposed that man who pro-
poses to use our highways for motor
ing shall agree to submit himself to the
courts of the state into which he
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

comes, so far as concerns matters
growing out of such use, is neither un-
constitutional nor unreasonable.
"In respect to the point that this
burden is imposed upon non-residents
and not upon residents, and so uncon-
stitutional inequality is created, 1t is
sufficient to say that both residents
and non-residents are placed upon the
same footing. Both are made amen
able to the laws Of the state whose
highways they are using"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

and appeals, and If unfavorable action
is taken there, we will go to the
supreme court of the United States"
When the case comes before the court
of errors and appeals, among the
judges who will review the case will be
the great lawyer and automobilist
James B. Dill. Judge Dill is pioneer
motorist, and 1t is the hope of the
fraternity that he will be goal keeper
when the final skirmish in the state OF
New Jersey takes place, and that he
will prevent the opposition from scor-
ing.
Judge Reeds decision is as follows:
Assuming that the right to use the
highways belongs to such nonresident
owner, yet 1t is obviously not an alb
selute right. The stringent legislative
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

restrictions upon the use of the high
ways by automobiles, which restric-
tions have received judicial approval,
exhibit the fact that the automobile
