FIVE MINERS
ENIOMBED 8
DAYS, LIVING

HAZELTON, Pa, Nov.
"a (AP) - Five Of the six
men entombed behind a
rush of water in the Tom
hicken mine November 16,
were found alive tonight.
A bulletin from Tomhick-
en- at 10 p. m. said:
Give Of the entombed
men were found alive in a
breast in No. 8 slope, 112
miles inside the tunnel that
was flooded. The living
men are still inside the
mine and are being cared
for by physician $ and
nurses. They will be brought
out as soon as the doctors
decide their physical condi
tiOn warrants"
Rescuers had been working in three
shifts day since, the siN men were
trapped in the flooded workings when
the Black creek broke through It's
banks week ago last Tuesday after
noon. Hope Of finding any of the
men alive had been abandoned long
since by nearly everyone except the
relatives of the imprisoned workmen.
Sieadfastly maintaining that their
husbands and fathers would be re.
turned to them, the families of the
men refused to give up hope. The
wife of one 70 the men was so
confident he would come home that
she kept a dish of hot soup consiantN
iy in readiness for him.
The general belief that the victims
all were dead did not in any way
deter the rescue work, mine officials
declaring that they would leave moth
ing undone in their effurSs 20 reacn

made sure this creek would not break
again from its course, greatN electric
and steam pumps were set TO worK
to clear the water from the floodeo
workings 1900 feet underground. Th;s'
was kig job and had not been
completed tonight. Whole section

lapsed from the sweep of the waters
and blocked most of the passages.
Debris was piled high ard obstacles
of all sorts were encountered.
Officials Of the Lehigh Valley Coas
company estimated that the cost o.
the rescue work would exceed $780,

Discrimination In The Licensing OF Automobiles

larger machine or truck than is i'm
posed upon a small pleasure car.
Legislators may also place dealers
and manufacturers of automobiles in
a separate class and impose upon
them a higher license fee than that
charged private owners, on the basis
that such a class of persons are en-
gagged in the automobile business for
profit.
Most systems of this character also
contain exceptions in favor of non
residents, although it is quite within
the power of the legislature to exact
a license fee from residents of other
states who use its highways, and ad-
joining states have, in some cases,
adopted legislation eXempting the
residents of the adjoining state pro-
vided the same privilege is, in re-
turn, granted to it's own residents.
Legislation of this character may
be objected to with considerable
force, however, on the ground that
such reciprocity violates that clause
of the Federal Constitution which
prohibits state from discriminating
against nOn-residents merely because
the state in which they reside does
not grant a like privilege. 1t may be
argued that while the state can un-
doubtedly require all nonresident
automobilists to take out automobile
licenses, it cannot discriminate
against motorists living in state
which does not grant exemption
privileges to non-residents.
Every citizen of the United States
has an undoubted right to travel in
to and through any state he wishes,
and any law discriminating against
him would seem to be uncOnstitu-
tiOnal so long as the motorist has
secured a license from the state in
which he resides. AS a practical
matter, however, there is little in
reference by local authorities with
travellers from other states using the
highways unless they remain for an
unreasonable length of time, and this
has come to be so well understood
by the motoring public that they not
only display the licenses of their
own state, but also flaunt pennants
and other emblems indicating from
what portion of the country they
come.

Milford chronicle., 1926-08-27

When legislatures originally took
it upon themselves to establish sys-
TENS of licensing for automobiles,
one of the principal objections with
which they had to deal was that such
a system discriminatory in that it
imposes a tax on automobiles which
is not imposed on travellers who use
other methods of transportation, and
consequently, was in violation of
that provision of the Federal Con-
stitution which fOrbids the states to
enact laws denying to every class of
citizens the equal protection of such
laws.
Licensing regulations were alleged
to arbitrarily pick out one class of
persons and to legislate adversely
against them. The courts, however,
in constituting statutes of this char
acter held that to be in violation of
the Federal Constitution, the dis
elimination must be arbitrary and
not based upon any logical distinct
ion.
Thus legislation which merely af-
fected one class Of travellers, but
treated all in that class alike, was
held not to be illegal if the classifi-
cation was founded upon a reason
able basis, even though exact equal
ity could not be attained. 1t is sutti-
cient if the statutes effect impartial
ity within given class,
Obviously, automobiles as a whole
are a distinct class, and as to them
it was thus proper to enact regqla-
tions having no application to other
kinds of vehicles. Thus the classifi-
cation may be said to rest upon an
obvious and sound distinction. The
legislatures, however, have gone
much further than this in requiring
registration of automobiles and have
further subdivided automobiles as a
class according to their weight,
horsepower and the use to which
they are intended to be put.
This further classification is based
upon the damage each class of ma
chine is likely to infict upon the
highways, and this again gives
sound constitutional basis for such
classification. 1t has been held that
it is not unjust discrimination to
charge a larger license fee for a
