The emperor has pledged protec-

qarded as Boon in Bill.
board Fight.

A prediction that a new impetus
would be given to wide enactment of
highway Identification programs was
voiced YESTERDAY by the American
Automobile Association. The predic-
ton was based upon reactions to a
recent decision of the Massachusetts,
Supreme Court in upholding the right
of a State to regulate outdoor adver-
Using.
The Massachusetts case, understood
to be headed for the United States
Supreme Court, arose out of State
constitutional amendment which de-
clares advertising on public ways
and on private property within pub
lie view may be regulated and re-
stricted by law" On the basis of this
amendment, the State Department Of
Public Works drafted set of regu-
lations. These were attacked in IS
suits in equity, the Supreme Court
decision being in answer to the suits.
Owners Right Defined.
On the principal contention of the
suits, namely whether a State may
prescribe the use to which a man may
put his own land, the Bay State tri-
bunal said:
1.-THE right to own land and to use
according to the owners conception
of profit is in the main a part of the
liberty secured to the individual un-
der the Constitution, but that right
Is subject to legislative regulation in
the public interest"
The court also goes so far as to
point out that advertising companies
are exercising more than q natural
right" in their commercial utilization
OF highways and highway traffic.
Such a practice, the court said. con-
stitutes ''seizing for private benefit an
opportunity created for quite differ
ent purpose by the expenditure of
public money in the construction of
public ways" The court also drew a
distinction between highway adver-
tiSing and other forms, remarking:
In the case of newspapers and
magazines there must be some seeking
by the one who is to see and read the
advertisement. The radio can be
turned off, but no so the billboard"
Safety Is Considered.
Other grounds on which the court
upheld the State regulations were
those of traffic safety, preservation Of
scenic grandeur, pleasurable travel,
maintenance of property value in
residential areas and the securing of
maximum benefits from public parks.
IF the Massachusetts, decision is
sustained by the Supreme Court of
the United States, to which it is now
headed, it cannot fail to have far
reaching effects on the future of
American highways" Thomas P.
Henry, president of the A. A. A., said.
