Thoee states that have passed
laws prior TO 1929 requiring motor
veh ole drivers to establish their
financial responsibility to satisfy
iudnment. or lose their right to
drive III case they are found TO nave
been responsible for accidents Ill
VIII ch persons were killed or injured,
or personal property damaged, are:
Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Minnesota. Their
statutes provide for the security
type Of financial responsibility, while
Massachusetts, which passed COM
pulsory Insurance law in 1926, Is
the only state having that type OF
law.
What is known as the A. A. A.
bin, drafted by the American Auto
mobile association, the provisions OF
which are practically the same as
the laws IN force in New York
state and several other states, is
said to have been introduced in
about 20 state legislatures last Win
ter by automobile clubs and state
automobile associations.
The New York state law provides
that its requirements may be met
by filing with the commissioner or
motor vehicles Il certificate from
some reliable insurance company
showing that it has issued policy
providing liability insurance, or GER
tificate from some surety company
showing that it has issued bond COW
ering liability for automobile accl-
dents: by furnishing bond signed
by two responsible persons, or by
depositing $11 600 with the state
treasurer to satisfy any judgment
that might be found against the au-
tomobile driver, arising from an
automobile accident. This law was
prepared by the New York State
Automobile association, and it was
enacted as recommended, showing
conclusively, that auto club officials
and members are heartily in accord
for an equitable solution Of this
proposition.
A meeting was held in Canton re-
Gently by "a committee headed by
Judge Robert S. Marx, of Cincinnati.
who advocated the payment of 500
annually by every Ohio automobile
owner into the state treasury, thus
creating a fund of $30,00O,0OO to
be used in the payment for injuries
received by individuals. and for
property damage up to $1,000.
The committee did not agree to
this plan. however, as it made no at
tempt to penalize negligence on the
pa1t Of the driver. and under the
law. as proposed by Judge Marx, it
would be impossible for the injured
party to 0rng suit against the driver
l.eu If he was guilty OF negligent
operation ,of his ear The majority
of those present at the meeting con-
tended that there should be some
angement Whereby the careless
driver should be pcnali4ed for his
own negligence.

Financial Responsibility Of Drivers

While the number of irresponsible
drivers of automobiles has been in
creasing each year, that type which
has no financial responsibility in
case Of automobile accidents result
ing in personal injury or property
damage OF which they may be the
cause, there are SO far only eleven
states which have laws requiring
some responsibility of this character,
if such drivers are to be permitted
10 operate motor vehicles.
This condition. according to Chas.
C. James. secretary OF the Ohio state
Automobile assoc alton, is one that
is attracting more attention each
wear. and the time is not far dis
tant when many states, if not all,
will have to enact some Legislation
that will at least provide mea-
sure of protection to the public IN
case Of motor vehicle accidents.
Such legislation will have to pro-
vide that some financial RESPONSE
b lity by these operating automo-
biles will have to be shown il drivers
are to continue to have a right to
drive.
The Ohio State Automobile asso-
citation stands opposed to com
pulsory insurance, but during the
last session of the legislature did IN
troduce security bill providing
that automobile drivers, who have
been convicted of violation OF the
motor vehicle laws, would be re-
auired to prove sufficiently their
financial responsibility to protect
the public. 1t provided that drivers
must he able to show their ability
to pay a judgment, III case OF INJURY
or death to one person to the amount
OF $5,000.00, injury or death TO
more than one person up to Slo,-
10000. and for personal property
damage up to 81, 100000.
While this bill did not become q
law in Ohio, such a law was enact
ed in New York, and similar laws
were cnacted by tho New Jersey
Ncw mpshira. California, Iowa
and " orsin legislatures.

1850, 900 Christmas Trees Used

The use of the Christmas tree is
custom many centuries old This
year more than 1,250,O00 trees were
used in Ohio alone. Well decorated
trees in the home, the church, the
clubs, the halls of group gatherings
and on the streets and plazas of vii.
lages and cities are harbingers of
good cheer and joy at the Christmas
season.
Formerly most Of the trees used
in Ohio for the purpose were ship
ped from the spruce and balsam for
ests of the north woods. Many are
still received from this source. OF
late years, however, the business OF
growing spruce trees has developed
among some landowners so that ac-
cording to Edmund Secrest, state
forester, there are now numbers OF
small plantations in various parts Of
Ohio which in the near future will
be able to supply the people of the
state with a better quality of home
grown trees. Plantations set five
or six years ago are now proving
profitable sources of revenue to the
owners.

woods are cut in October, the leaves
drop soon after contact with a

annually, and the number is increas-
