CALIFORNIA; MOTOR
LAW TO STAND TEST
Enacted at Last Legislative
Session Must Prove Con-
stitutionaIity.

San, FRANCISCO. December 10
There is little doubt that the state auto
mobile law enacted at the last session
or the legislature. and which becomes
eHective January 1, 1914, must stand
court test to prove its constitutionality.
Most OF the provisions OF the law were
Endorsed by the California State Auto
mobile Association and the Automobile
Club of Southern CALIFORNIAN fact
many of the clauses were framed by the
legal staff Of the latter organization.
The bill as originally presented to the
legislature provided for an annual regis
tration fee of So. but when IT was passed
this clause was amended so as to read
that the state treasurer collect fees as
follows:
For the registration of every automobile
of twenty horsepower and above. but less
than thirty horsepower, SO. For the
registration Of every automobile Of thir-
ty horsepower and above, but less than
forty horsepower, SIS. For the registra-
ton OF every automobile of forty horse
power and above but less than fifty
horsepower. so. For the registration of
every automobile of fifty horsepower and
above. but less than sixty horsepower.
SO For the registration of every auto
mobile of sixty horsepower and above
$50.
Further on in the provisions of the
law the distribution of the fees col
lected is provided for as follows:

ecutiye committee. Mr.. Harrison &C
cepted the position and stated that no
intended to carry on the work Tor I'M
proving highways In the south through
the association as his predecessor had
done 1t is likely that the executive COM
mittee will elect Mr.. Harrison chairman
of that body.
Logan Waller Page, director or the
office of public roads. who Is president
of the association, presided at the meet
ing and appointed committee or three
to draw up resolutions expressing the
regrets of the association over the death
of Mr. Finley. 1t was announced that
the House committee on roads had IN
vited representatives Of the association
to appear and make suggestions with re-
gard to federal aid. The policy or the
Highway Association was described &c
the congressional committee as being In
favor OF federal cooperation In highway
construction and maintenance.
The selection of Atlanta by the COM
mittee was due to the fact that the
committee considered the south entitled
to the annual congress in 1914 as the east
was recognized at the 1912 meeting, the
northwest at the 1913 meeting and the far
west will receive the 1915 meeting. The
unique experiment by Georgia In work
ing the entire state convict force on the
roads will afford an interesting study &c
the delegates. while the stimulation at
forded by the great good roads assem-
blage will probably hasten the establish
ment of state highway departments
throughout the southern states.
