NEW VEHICLE LAW IS PROPOSED IN
 FELL IN SENATE
Measure Offered Is Framed After One Adopted At Convention Of Traffic Officers = Other New Bills

Gradually the legislature is settling Into the collar. Three bills were final ly passed by the house yesterday and sent to the senate: several new bills were introduced. a phase Of the session in which the senate. contrary to GUS tom, has taken the lead of the house with 2S, against 24 for the house.
 The most important of the new measures brought in yesterday was presented by Senator Stoddard, the proposed vehicle law. adopted by the executive committee Of the Interna- tional Traffic Officers association atI the convention of the association at Cleveland, Ohio. on Dec. of last year. The law covering every possible problem that may arise in vehicular traffic, is a most voluminous one and has engaged the attention of the lead ing lawyers of the country and jurists. as well as chiefs Of police and traffic officers of the principal cities and towns of the country for some years.
 A copy of the law was brought back by Traffic officer Anderson of Phoe- nix from the convention, and having been subjected to certain minor changes intended to meet local condi- tions. was offered to the legislature. An important provision of it is found in the scope of application of the act: "The provis ons of this act shall apply in general throughout the state and no 4 political subdivision of the state shall \ make or enforce any ordinance or reg ulation that shall impose fees, fines and penalties other than those herein prescribed or decrease the speed limits or the gross weights or dimensions of vehicles as prescribed by this act"
 Another measure wrought into the senate appears to be an attack upon the county highway commission law and especially upon the highway com mission of this county. Though the bill was introduced by Mir. Schleimer of Santa Cruz. it is suspected of being of nearer origin and of having hid den handspring. The bill changes the manner of the constitution of the com mission and their rate of compensa- ton. It provides that there shall be a member of the commission from each 9gislative district. If there are four L0districts or less, there shall be two i. Appointed from each district. And il V there is an even number of districts in county or if there is only one district in order to break a possible tie, there shall be appointed a member at large
 The compensation shall be $5 a day for each day served, but the total re- muneration of a member shall not ex- ceed $25 a month.
 The bills introduced in @ short morn ing session or the house were.
