Aviation, Like Necessity,
AnoUs No Lasu

Aeronautlcs to-day finds itself wholly with
oa' the law Aviation, the operating end of
tue aeroplane industry, holds the unprecedent-
eo record of engaging in a multiplicity of
sommercial undertakings without the shadow Of
g" or statute to regulate its activities. An
aeroplane lands in the outskirts Of town.
An aviator craws out of the cockpit and an
Aounces that he has come to carry passen-
se's. inose who wish to fly come forward
No one asks the aviator for his credentials,
~ one questions his ability to handle his ma
shiSle. They have watched him descend from
!. ss.' heavens, and they innocently assume that
nc Is capable pilot. The aviator NAV or
ss .@s not vouchsafe any information ON his
xxsihg experience. If he is an ex-army pilot
Z. usually Informs the public of that fact.
a. -.eh ne Is civilian-trained pilot, with little
lying time to his credit, in which case he
says very little He can safely depend upon
sas ignorance of the public and the absence
:. sas law He need show no license, for no
ssA~ae exists requiring him to carry a IL
~e''se. The bare truth is that no licenses
~ 80 issued for ayiators. Flying apparently
= .css hazardous than motoring. At any rate,
-asomoolie chauffeurs are licensed, while avi-
Sso1s are permitted to carry on without super
1a'on or regulation. The aeroplane may be
-. sI..airworthy, the pilot may be grossly incon-
pesehe' but IN the absence of statutes the law

~. case now before the courts of North Da-
ss'a ~ pognantly demonstrates the criminal
ssehce OF aerial regulation. A father is su-
sa ,,,s pilot for the death of his son. 1t seems

It. They often have the
false impression that an
aeroplane stops as soon as
its wheels hit the ground.
AS a matter Of fact, the
plane rolla forward for ap-
proximately two hundred
feet before coming to a
stop. In cases like the one
just quoted the authorities
in charge Of the aero
drome, not the pilot, are
responsible for all injuries
and losses sustained.
The general public is
fully entitled to security
from aircraft. To insure
the utmost caution on the
part of the pilot is not suf-
ficient. It cannot be too
often repeated that there
is great danger of both
unwise and overdrastic
legislation. A good exam
pie of the extreme type Of
legislation is a bill which
was introduced into the
Legislature of a Middle
Western state. The bill
prohibited ascensions to q
greater height than one
thousand feet, with five
year prison sentences at
tached to violations Of the
law.
An excellent means of
protecting the public is the
licensing and inspection of
all pilots. This should be
demanded by the public.
The qualifications should
include health, age limit
and technical ability, as
prescribed by statute. No
aircraft shoui.. he per-
mitted to take the air
without a licensed pilot
aboard. The pilots quail
.acations can be judged by
authorized aeronautical
societies which have here
tofore issued licenses.
There should also
be instituted an in
spection service g
similar to our .SAA

inspection of air. wa

popular theory still partly exists that every
owner of land owns the column of air above
his land and that piece of land may be
thought OF as solid and Of indefinite extent
upward and downward. Modern interpreta-
tions give full freedom of the air space to the
aeronaut.
II we take the modern view that there can
be no ownership Of the air space over mans
land, then the passage of aircraft over the
land cannot amount to trespass If any legal
wrong be committed it must be merely ques-
a decision in which the claimant, farmer,
asked for damages on the ground that an
aeroplane flying over his land on several oc-
caslons had scared his cows, causing them to
diminish their milk output. The court de-
clded that since railroad trains and automo-
biies were permitted to operate unmolested it
saw no reason why aircraft should not be per-
precautions were taken by the aeronauts. The
opinion is generally held that the air space
is open to all traffic, provided that such traffic
does not interfere with the proper use of the
underlying land. In other words the air
space medium Of traffic is unlimited so
long as the aviator uses discretion and ordi-
nary Judgment. 1t may be said here that a
pilot should keep above 500 feet in flying over
rural districts. A thousand-foot level would
prove still safer. At this height the pilot
could rest assured that he was not violating
the rights of the landowner and the landowner
could have cause for camplaint
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27

Noehlng was done about the matter The
aead man had been a friend of the pilot, and
certainly no charge of negligence could be
brought against the latter. The flvinp huoa-
boo was again dragged forth from it's casket
and the general public shook it's head woe
fully at the dangers of the air and the inevi-
table fate of the flyer
The facts of the case however, told diff
ferent story. The motor had died lust at the
critical moment-certainy but not from
natural causes. The pilot unwittingly had
stalled his motor. Misjudging his landing
the pilot had zooned to avoid tree. but in
50 dong he became excited and jerked little
100 hard on his controls, with the result that
the machine shot upward until it lost Avinc
speed stalled and crashed to the ground. In
sestlgatlon showed that the pilot was former
cadet IN the Royal Flying Corps with his
nylng training cut short by the armistice. He
had neither commission nor pilots license. The
pitlful part of the case was that this mex
perlenced flyer, with less than twenty f1ving
hours to his credit, was permitted to ENGAGE
u commercial aviation as a pilot No one
had questioned his right to engage in such
work, no one asked for his credentials. His
quailhcataons apparently were taken as a mat
YER OF course. There he was dressed neatly
IN Khaki with helmet and goggles ON his head

NEW MEXICO ID
 BUILD ARIZONA
 ROAD STRETCH
Citizens of Neighboring State to Turn Out Sunday to I'm prove 20 Miles of Old Trails Highway in Arizona
Gournal-Miner Capital Bureau)


 PHOENIX, March 2S.-It isn't often that residents of one state turn out to build roads in another state, but that is what IS going to happen next Sunday, according to word which has been received here from GalluR, N. NJ.
 Disappointed at the failure of Ari- zona to provide an appropriation for the improvement of the Old Trails highway along the line of the Santa Fe in Apache county the residents of Gallup, N. M., are planning to turn out en masse to improve the worst spots OH 20 miles of road in Arizona. Men and teams will be prvided until this stretch is ill proper shape for travel
 i' The omnibus bill carried all appro- priation of $500O0 for the improve men of the road between Holbrook and Lupton, but this item was vc- toed by the governor. The bill also carried $25,000 appropriation for the improvement of a rival route into New Mexico via St. Johns, which item was also vetoed.
 ne question HOW dT1SeS, what II anything will the residents along the St. Johns route do about the road construction to the north being undertaken by the Gallupitcs. Will they try to offset these activities by building their own road, or will they seek to enjoin the road builders from the neighboring state from inn proving the northern route? Thus far no court proceedings of this na- ture have been recorded, neither has the adjutant general been requested to supply troops to stay the in vasion.
 However, the consummation of this overt act is not without the pos sibility of reprisal. Greenlce county has an excellent road to the New Mexico line connecting with long, long trail winding from Lordsburg. So If worse comes to worst 1t is believed that the people of Green lee county will turn out en massc to improve the Lordsburg road in New Mexico. Before the passage Of the Volstead act, this was one of the most important roads i'll the state, but the great drouth has great ly interfered with its upkeep.
