the highest court 1 nthe land, writ
ten B., Justice McReynolds and con-
CURED in by all the justices, 1t Is
held that in the absence OF a ma
tlonal law a state has perfect right
TO enact whatever laws II may see
tit IN relation to the automobile.
Furthermore Justice McReynolds
holds that "the movement OF motor
vehicles over the highways is at
tended by constant and serious dan
ger TO the public and is also alb
normally destructive to the highway
Itself Further on the justice states:
"In the absence of national legisla-
ton covering the subject, state
may rightfully prescribe uniform
regulations necessary for public
safety and order in respect to the
operation upon its highways of all
motor Yehicles-those moving in in
terstate commerce as well as others"
President Wilson OF the A. A. A.,
commenting upon the situation, says:
The inference of the highest court
that there should be a national law
covering the subject should prompt
our immediate attention to the mat
ter, for II is certainly most unusual
situation when O. citizen OF the United
states is not tfee TO trHNel III any
section OF the country after he has
provided himself with an Identified
ton number from his home state.
The European countries, with diff
ferent languages and different Gus
toms, have agreed upon an interna-
tlonal plate of identity, and also an
international triptyque relating to
customs duties. For instance, a mo-
torist OF France after having OBJ
tanned home number-which Incl
dentally allows him to operate car
in any part of France-then obtains
In his own country an international
plate, which is acceptable in practi-
cally every other country In Europe,

Georgia, chairman OF the committee
on Interstate and foreign commerce,
and the author OF common

that the several states of the Union
