Regulation OF Automobiles

to require such a license.
Under these circumstances, the
license, when secured, gives the
holder the right to operate his auto
mobile upon all highways, and no
municipality in the state can refuse
him such a right. This, however,
would not prevent the municipality
from enacting an ordinance prOhib-
iting all automobiles from parking
within certain designated limits.
In the earlier days of the autOmO-
bile, many numerous and foolish
regulations with regard to the run
ming of motor vehicles upon the
highways were enacted by the var
ious municipalities, each of which
had it's own code of regulations,
which differed in many particulars
and which were, in many respects,
unreasonable.
The operator, therefore, could form
no idea from reading the rules of
one municipality what requirements
he might have to observe when he
crossed the line into the jurisdic-
ton of some municipal neighbor.
This was the condition of affairs
when the legislatures of the states
assumed the duty, in the exercise
of their supreme police power, to
establish uniform regulations with
regard to automobiles and limit the
power of local authorities to such
ordinances as were not inconsistent
with a uniform code.
No municipal ordinance may now
be enforced, even though not incon-
sistent with the action of the legisla-
ture, unless found by the courts to
be reasonable. 1t is frequently OBJ
iected that motor vehicle require
ments revoking the owners license
or prohibiting him from exercising
control over it as he sees fit, are un-
constitutional on the ground that
they take property without due pro-
cess of law, but where they are bas-
ed on the police power of the state
this objection is not valid.

Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

1t is the purpose of this article to
discuss those things which pertain
to the regulation of automobiles in
general. The application, construc-
ton and effect of particular regula-
tory measures, such as speed, light
ing, road law, etc, will be discussed
in subsequent articles.
It has been stated in the discus
sion of rights in the highways that
automobiles have the right TO use the
highways for purposes Of travel.
This right is, however, subject to the
control of states and municipalities,
under what is known in the law as
the police power" All states have
constitutions guaranteeing various
rights to their citizens, and statutes
regulating automobiles must, like
other regulations, not infringe upon
the constitutional rights thust gual-
anteed
While Congress has the right to
regulate certain highways and has,
therefore, a rather broad power over
automobiles, the control of the large
majority OF lue ulSuN dgS III d S''t'S
repOses in its legislature, which may
reserve to itself all power to regu-
late all highways or may delegate
certain subdivisions of the states
such as counties, cities, boroughs,
townships, etc, and give them the
power to make certain local regula-
tions which do not conflict with
those which the legislature reserves
to itself.
Thus, practically all highways in
municipalities are subject to two
sets of regulations, those made by
the state and those additional regu-
lations which the municipality may
see fit to impose, the latter having,
of course, only such authority as has
been given it by the state legisla-
ture. To illustrate, the state may re-
quire the operator of every automo-
bile to secure a state license and re-
serve to itself the exclusive power

THEORY
 STRONGLY BACKED
Scientist Explains Theories Be
 fore Ithaca Plant Congress

Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. IS Ps- Charles Darwin was right in his theory as to the origin of the species insofaraas the intrinsic variability of plants is concerned in their evolu- tion, the international congress of plant sciences here was informed today.
 Reasons For Species.
 Prof. E. c. Jeffrey, of Harvard University, speaking before the sec tion for morphology of evidence from australasis in regard to the origin of species" declared investi- gations at the university laborator- ies give evidence that hybrization is largely responsible flor the numer- ous species of plants.
 The Darwinian theory that evolu- tion progresses through the capacity of living things to adapt themselves to invironment in the course of gen. erations has been under fire in scientific as well as fundamentalist circles. Mutationists claim that var Iiations occur suddenly and without apparent cause, rather than as a response to invironmental conditions. Hybridization Observed.
 Equalization, Prof. Jeffrey said today has been found to be at work not only among Towering plants. but also in numerous species of ferns. Observations in New Zealand and elsewhere, he said, indicate a simi- lar prevalence of hybridism in the southern hemisphere.
 Sugar cane mosaic, which F. S.. Earle, of the tropical plant research foundation at Washington, told the section for pathology causes tonnage losses ranging from 10 to 50 per cent and the premature running out of fields, can be curbed, he said, by careful seed selection and freduent clearing of Tields if diseased plants.
 Plant Diseases
 A further study of the relation of plant virus diseases to their insect carriers may aid in understanding and controlling the diseases, L. o. kunkel, of the Boyce Thompson in- stitute for plant research, at Yonk- CTS, N. Y, told the pathology sec tion in speaking on "aster yellows," an infectious disease prevalent on the China aster. The disease is pe- culiar to America, he said, and is found to be transmitted by a leaf hopper in which the virus multi plies.
 A warning that unless the study of virus diseases affecting the po-, tato is standardized and extended to all varieties the number of diseases will increase. was sounded before the pathology section by D. Atanas- off, of the University of Sophia. Bull garia. No variety of potato so far has been found, he said, which is not susceptible to all virus diseases of the potato plant.
 Members of the forestry section were told by Tor Johnson of the Skogshokskolan, Stockholm, of. new system for judging standing trees and calculating volume, yield and growth.
 s. Illichevsky, of the. Agrocooper- attechnicum, Poltavia, Russia. bas- ing his belief on observation of more than 450,000 species of flower ing plants during nine years told the taxonomy section that more re- gently evolved plants have more complex structures and consequent ly resuire for towering, a longer time and greater quantity of heat than the simpled and lower order forms.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE
 HEAD VISITS PRES.
Sears Roebuck Co. President Discusses Economic Conditions

Paul Smiths N. r.. Aug. IS Pl- In the absence of Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg. who is a guest at White Pine camp, today to make an address at Plattsburgh at the dedication of the Marlborough mon- ument, President Coolidge arranged to receive Julius Rosenwald, head of Sears Roebuck & Co.,. of Chicago. MT. Rosenwald was invited to the summer white house to report to MT. Coolidge on business conditions as he had fund othem and to make any suggestions he might have for improving the economic situation.
 The president has conferred with several business leaders since he came to the Adirondacks, and it has been indicated that he would re- ceive others before his return to Washington, In order to keep in close touch with the economic life | of the country.
 Secretary Kellogg planned to re- turn from Plattsburgh. a distance of between 60 and 70 miles, after the dedication ceremonies, as he had not completed his report to Mir. Coolidge on various departmental matters, and desires to do so be- fore his departure for Washington Thursday or Friday with Mrs. Kel- logg.
 MT. Kellogg's report to the chief executive of the Mexican situation has not changed the governments policy of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of the republic. It was stated at the executive of fee yesterday, on behalf of the president, that neither diplomatic usage, treaty rights nor internation- al law authorized the United States to intervene in foreign situations that did not involve the personal safety or property rights of Aperi- can citizens.
 The subject of commercial avia- tion, which has long interested Pres ident Coolidge. continues to receive his attention as the details of the national airways which are ultl- mately to cover the country are be- ing worked out by the assistant sec retaries of aviation in the com merce, navy and war departments.
 Although the government is to own the landing fields, license the pilots and supervise other details of the operation of the airways, it does not intend to take a permanent place in private aviation. The air mail lines now being run by the post office department are to be let out to private companies as~soon as the latter can guarantee a service equal to that now being rendered by the department.
 Even the transmission of mail by plane, which in the opinion ot President Coolidge has reached high state of efficiency, was in stalled by the government partly as an aid to the expansion of aviation. The success which has attended it's pioneering efforts, however, does not mean that it has taken a permanent nlace in the business of flying any more than in the railroad business, which received federal assistance in it's early days.
