MARYLAND MOVES TO AMEND
AND LIBERALIZE MOTOR LAWS
General Assembly Is Considered Favorable
to RAISING Speed to 40 Miles Per
Hour on His ghways

Maryland's S motor vehicle law. long
regarded as a model statute of its
kind, stands IN excellent chance of be.
ing made stronger and more liberal at
the present session of the General
Assembly. Amendments proposed and
favorably reported involve basic fea-
lures Of the motor vehicle act and
eliminate from ii certain of the pro-
visions that have been regarded by
some as unnecessarily restrictive upon
the motor car owner.
Chief among the proposed cha nges
in the act in the matter of interest to
car owners is that which would raise
the speed limit on State highways from
35 to 40 miles an hour. In submitting
this proposal TO the Legislature for
action Maryland motor vehicle author
tiles are declared to he setting IN eX-
ample that the rest of the States might
follow in recognizing the automobile as
a medium of transportation that is
limited in usefulness by too severe
curtailment Of its potential speed.
Less Restricted Travel.
Advocates of higher speed limits on
the open highways maintain that the
modern automobile travelling at 40
miles an hour is far safer than it's
predecessor proceeding at a pace 10
or Is miles slower. Many farsighted
Maryland officials concur in this be
lief and have given their assent to
this proposed amendment to the States
traffic code.
Another proposed change that is
expected to meet with general approx
al because it permits of less restricted
travel on the main roads of the State
is that which would give the State
roads commissioner authority to des-
ignate right Ofway thoroughfares. In
thee past John y. Mackall, chairman
of the commission. has expressed the
view that traffic on all main routes

that vehicles travelling on roads inter
secting the State highways would be
forced to stop upon approaching the
important thoroughfare and wait for
an opportunity to cross or enter with
out impeding the heavier traffic
stream.
Earlier License Tags.
Maryland motorists are expected to
find cause to emphatically approve n
proposal contained in the new meas
ure which provides that new license
plates may be attached to the car on
December - or after. instead of
waiting until after midnight on De.
cember 81. This provision of the
present statute has met with consider
able objection for years, and the
liberalizing amendment is generally
favored by car owners in every sec
tion. of the State.
In addition. it is proposed to extend
the period of grace for expiring tags
to January 5. At present the mOtoriSt
who does not have his new tags on
New Year day is not permitted to
operate his car. While the experience
of the motor vehicle commissioner s
office reveals that inability to get tags
before the end of the year is due pri-
maily to the motorist himself. it is
felt that some owners are unneces-
sarily penalized by this provision of
the present motor vehicle act.
Reduction I'm Fine.
Still another change includes a re-
duction of the minimum fine for
speeding offense from SIS to S..
Others proposed are:
Reduction of truck license fees from
20 to 80 cents a horsepower.
Increasing the maximum allowable
width of trucks from 80 to % inches
Reducing the license fees for hack
ing cars to 32 cents horsepower. the
rate that prevails in the case Of the
ordinary passenger automobile.

Motorists in A States paid S1S7,603,-

ing to data compiled by the Bureau
Of Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture. The rate Of taxes on
motor fuel ranged from l to cents
a gallon and the average was 2.38

Nearly 5000, ,0O0,o gallons of gas

gasoline taxes are collected and it is
Estimated that two billion gallons

ments Jon road bonds and S9,3l3,363

Fewer changes were made in the
rate of tax than in other recent years
In Kentucky the rate was increased
from 3 to cents. in Mississippi from
tC cents. in North Dakota from l
to 2 cents, and in Virginia for 3 to Az
cents. Other increases which became
effective after the close of the year
were an increase in Alabama from 2

Not a Cause for Worry.

Motorists who find less distance be-
tween the front Of the wheels than
between the rear need not be afraid
of excessive tire wear. In some cars
this condition is deliberate on the part
of the manufacturer, and is created to
compensate for the tendency OF the
wheels to spread when running. The
difference may run from !. to Is OF an

AUTO|STS FAVOR
TAXESFOR ROADS
Opposed, However, to Foot
ing Bills for Numerous
Other Benefits.

No group is more willing than
American motordom to foot the
bills for the especial benefits con-
ferred upon 1t, and the disposition of
motoring agencies to resist certain
levies that are being imposed upon or
proposed for car owners is a manifes-
tation of perfectly sound economic
logic.
Thus may be expressed the attitude
Of the American Automobile Associa-
ton and its $50 affiliated clubs toward
higher gasoline taxes. compulsory in
suranCe and other similar proposals,
according to Ernest y. Smith. gen
eral manager of the American Auto
mobile Association. Special taxation.
he says. should be reflected in eSpe-
cial benefits. and so long as this is
true the motorist reveals a marked
inclination to let legislative matters
take their course.
Want Roads to Benefit
Property owners expect schools
when they pay school taxes says
Mr.. Smith. When they are taxed for
water, they get water supply. II a
community wants. for instance. a new
fire department, it votes to tax itself
for this Improvement, and the revenue
so derived goes toward the creation
of a new and better protection from
fire.
If the money paid as school tax
was to be used for road building, the
community would voice it's objections
very quickly and definitely. Motor
dom is doing the same thing when it
objects to an increase in gasoline
taxes that does not produce more,
better and safer roads and streets
Many Proposals Opposed.
"All over the country. during the
meeting of AZ State Legislatures this
Winter. orga nized motoring has been
