For 11 months he has| watched the working of the law and | hile he concedes the necessity for il. he lone | | | ties and injuries for which the motor car is responsible, As Mr. Goodwin sees compulsory liability insurance, it has one purpose —to provide financial relief for the | dependents of those kilied in high- way mishaps and compensation for those who are hopelessly maimed and rendered socially and economically unfit. Many Have Yet to Learn. Compulsory liability insurance is do- ing that, more and more effectively, he declares, and if it does not do it so well as it will later, that is because it been a tremendous undertaking in which nearly a million persons have | had new roles to lay and all have not ver learned their lines. The Star's representative came to Massachusetts to make a first-hand study of the most sensational and radical departure in the history of automobile legislation. He started, registrar of motor vehicles. There, he found the man who bears a_burden of administrative difficulty that ex- ceeds that of any comparable public official in the country. ready to talk | not only the virtues of the law but its every deficiency—where it has suc- ceeded with no more fairness than where it has failed. Compulsory liability insurance is no | new thing 10 the Massachusetts regis- trar of motor vehicles. Shortly after he took his present office, in April, 1920, he foresaw the need for such a statute as the only possible relief for a situation which was resulting in the death ¢f hundreds and the injury of thousands of persons annually, and through no fault of their own. fle could see no fairness or justice in that individual full financial responsi- st at that time, he began to work for the statute that hus brought his State into the limelight not only na- tionally but internationally as well. Today, under the blinding glare 6 this far-reaching interest, he works tire- lessly and intellizently to prove the wisdom of a principle of legal compul- sion in a State that always has stood for the ultimate in liberty. And the liberty-lovers of Massachusetts, save for minority whose special interesis are restricted. are working with him. Safety Alone Is Not Goal. Previous to coming to Boston writer had heard as the chief cism of the law that it was essential} unsound in its tendency to create a th because he knew that the insu ance companies would have to foot the bills. As a result. the question of the law's safety aspects was one of the first put to the motor vehicle exccu- tive, This law does not have safety as its purpose,” said Mr. Goodwin. “But just the same, it is the great- est piece of safety legislation ever b he added with emphasis.
