Of not less than sss or ;" more s than than

as low as 81; This section also pro-
vides minimum Of not less than
800 or more than $1,000 for any per-
son exceeding speed OF sixty miles
an hour on the road. To my mind, no
one driving at such a speed on our
public roads. Yet even in this case
the Joseph bill cuts out the minimum
nne OF 800 and again leaves 1t to
the magistrate to impose a 81 fine

no such alternative under the present
law, and the court or magistrate is
obliged to impose term in prison OF

the Joseph bill cuts out the minimum

BALTIMORE. March S1.-The Auto
mobile Club of Maryland is strongly
opposed to letting down any OF tho
bars of the automobile laws or les
sening the penalties fer any VIOLA
tions. aud to that end is vigorously
protecting the passage of the Joseph
bill, which has already passed the
house and is now before the judiciary
committee In the senate. The eppo-
sition Is based chiefly on the fact that
the bill eliminates from previous acts
governing automobile traffic all the
minimum fines imposed by them. 1t
Is also claimed that 1t takes from the
motor vehicle commissioner the right
to revoke the license OF man or
woman who repeatedly violates the
motor vehicle laws or who proves
himself or herself q danger to the
rest Of the population.
One OF the last acts OF Osborne !.
Yellott. counsel to the Automobile
Club. who was killed in an auto
accident last Sunday, was to write
Senator frick. chairman Of the COM
mittee. to set forth the objections to
the bill expressed by members Of
the automobile club.
In this letter MIR, Yellott wrote:
View Of Clubs Counsel.
$50 far as the Joseph bill in its
entirety is concerned. we feel. and l
confidently say. that we might just
as we'll wipe off the statute books all
the laws which have been passed
during the last sixteen years for the
protection of the public against mo-
torists who willfully violate the laws
as to pass this bill.
"Yeu may think 1t strange that the
representatives of the Automobile
Club of Maryland should come to the
general assembly and object to any
proposed legislation which would
make>it easier on motorists who vio-
late the motor vehicle laws. But
this action on our part is entirely
consistent with the action that we
have taken with respect to all motor
vehicle legislation ever since the club
has been in existence.
"As a club we are firmly of the
opinion that the best interests of the
motorists of the state lie in demand
ing reasonable treatment to the law
abiding motorists. and according to
the public, the right to use the high
ways free from the menace of those
motorists who are not inclined to be
law-abiding."

Chief among Mr.. Yellott's critici SIMS
Of the bill are the following:

MANY TOURISTS

Cities Believe Maintenance

Profit.

WATERLOO. Iowa. April 1,-one Of
the mootsd questions in many cities
and towns Is, DO camping grounds
for automobile tourists benefit the

viding comforts for tourists well OK

information bureau, Waterloo, Iowa,
set out to fnd the answer. and the
following extracts from letters re-
ceived from chambers OF commerce
and motoring publications tell the
story:

cars night-parked at the camping
ground and in addition many parked
for few hours during the day. No
charge is made, except in event the
tourists want to stay six days or
longer whan q small fee Is collected.
The camp Is located within . few
blocks of stores, bathing beach and
shows. 1t is a valuable asset to the
town, and the money is well invested
1t Is considered by merchants as q
real business getter. Eighty per cent
of the tourists using the North Platte
grounds are of good class"

From Clinton. Iowa. comes the fol-
lowing: Free public camping ground

Business men of town consider camp

in grocery stores, ice cream parlors
moving picture houses, telegraph
offices, oil stations, fruit stores. dry
goods houses and garages. The CON-
munity in general feels that the
grounds are a valuable asset to the
city and that without the grounds
few tourists would stop overnight"
