Draft Model Bill.

Albany. Feb The Assembly Com
nittee on Internal Affairs to-day began
in earnest the task ef producing some sort
Of consistent and suitable automobile leg
islation Five OF six bills already sub
nitted 90 II were taken UP at hearing
this afternoon The committee viii take
the best features from them and incorpo-
rate them in a measure resembling the
Allds-Hamn bill of last year. with some
improvements
The principal speaker this afternoon
was Charles Thaddeus Terry, represent
ing the American Automobile Association,
licensed manufacturers and several other
smaller manufacturers. He spoke in favor
of legislation along the lines Of the Aids
Hanan bill. This measure, which was
vetoed hv the Governor, removed the
epeed limit altogether. placing the burden
Of evidence of reasonable driving on the
chauffeur. He did not favor any of the
bills that are now before the committee.
Many questions were asked by upstate AS
semblyn1en
To questions about the taxation of
auton7ohiIes to pay for the wear and tear
,yro1 the state roads hv the machines, he
said that anv tax would be agreeable so
long as 1t did not discriminate against the
automohilfsts He lodged the question as
to who should pay the most the owner of
$4,000 automobile Or the owner of
$4,000 farm.
Speaking Of the merits of removing the
speed limit and providing only that the
speed shall be reasonable, Mr.. Terry SAID
that he did not believe that there was an
autoist who did not unintentionally break
the speed limit law every time he went
out He argued that a law which contains
A speed limit gives a license to reckless
driving As an illustration, he said that
if the limit were fifteen miles hour
and II an automobiist should go at
that rate past a schoolhouse where chill
dren were coming out he would be reck-
less, although he would be violating no
law.
The bills on which the hearing was
given were introduced by Assemhlymen
Bates and Dana. of New York. and Callan,
Of Columbia Mr.. Bates said that his bill
WAS drawn along the line Of the Aids
Han7u measure. but that two defects were
ohviated One Of these was the tax of last
years measure. which was inadequate.
and the other that it took away from
municipalities their police powers in ref
erence to speed regulation. The Callan
bill IS based on the Massachusetts law.

NEW PUBLIC SERVICE BILL.
Powers of the Commissions Increased
by Measure

Albany, Feb. f-Assefnbiyman Parker,
chairman of the Railroads Committee. to
day amended his bill designed TO increase
the powers of the Public Service commits
sicns, and which failed of passage in the
Senate last year.
The amendments were drafted by the
Public Service commissions. They include
several changes in the law to perfect the
control or the commissions over stock
watering In regard to these provisions
the Public Service Commission In the 1st
District declared in its annual report that
the law had been devitalized by the Court
of Appeals decisions.
The amendments also seek to establish
control of the business of express COM
panfes in New York City. These COM
panies have escaped supervision through
a technical error in the drafting of the
original law.

TO PLEASE RADICALS.

First the bill recognizes as cardinal
principle the right of the state to regulate
rolfticaI parties, which right some of the
Bourbon Republicans are contesting hotly.
Second. it declares for the statewide per-
sonal enrolment a matter of much i'm
portance in some of the Republican rural
counties. where allegations are rife that
the county leaders maintain their control
only by manipulated enrolment lists. which
give them the right to decide who may
vote at the party primaries.
Third it's provision that there shall be
no official ballot but any sort Of pri-
mary ballot voted in an official envelope y
is regarded as a direct though specious
bid for the radical vote which wants the
most direct and independent kind OF direct
primaries
The fact that this or similar provision
in the laws Of some Of the Western states
has resulted in almost chaotic conditions
out of which the well organized machine
forces victory al the primaries, probably
will not destroy its usefulness as campaign
material in the least.
This measure requires the Secretary of
State to make up the Temporary rolls of con-
ventions from the returns of the primary
elections certified TO him. It has inter
estins provision that a member Of a party
committee may he deposed for "disloyalty
to partv" or corruption in office.
Of course. this bill takes care" Of
Charles F Murphy Of Tammany, who is
not keen for direct primaries in his own
bailiwiCk and Of the Kings County Demo-
cratic members Of the league. The attitude
toward Murphy of leaders Of the Demo
cratic League who are fighting "Fingey'
Corners is very interesting.
''The entire Democracy of the State suf-
fers under the curse of Conners,' declared
one of these leaders. HE is the state
chairman; we as Democrats are all tarred
with that stick. Murphy, powerful as he
may he in New York City. and obnoxious
as he may be in his political practices there
after all is only a county boss, or city
boss If the Democratic leaders in the
rest Of the state having deposed the IN
speaka BILE Conners. unite against Murphy
he could not control the party or swing the
action of a state convention. Therefore,
while he may not be a paragon Of virtue,
we feel that he is not impossible, Ike Con-
ners"
