WOULD REGULATE UNSAFE MAGHINES “Legislative Action on Autos Being Comsidered public sentiment may a proposal may be introduced in the next sion of the legislature which provides for the regulation of the sale or use of au tomobiles which by reason of exten- sive become unsafe for traffie participa- tion. This proposal is in no way a revenue measure. The subject is covered in the monthly bulletin of the state motor vehicle department in & discussion of the “junk" c and of the problem which it cre 1t is thercin claimed that the state might well establish a principle for standardization of the condition of miotor vehicles on the highways and that this can be done through the setting up of a time period called in dealers’ language, the “turn- over,” with the end in view that all cars older than the time set will come under the jurisdiction of the state for supervision. In order that there may he no discrimination against old cars that are kept in good repair the pro- posal is advanced that the state provide for an examination and sets forth further that without sive organization pense such an examination if passed would allow a person intending to keep an old car to get certificates as to its fitness to run for the reg- istration period. Such regulation, in the opinion of the department “would compel rigid scrutiny by po- Because now favor it, lice and it would happen that the | second hand cars which dealers put on the market would need to pass esamination.” It would give the person who owns the car and who has had it examined-a certificate of condition at slight expense. It Wwéuld mean also a much closer and stricter supervision of the whole second hand car problem and might mean that the problem could he worked out so that there would | be no improper and imperfect cars on the highways of the state. In discussing a possible charge of paternalism, Commissioner Stoeckel says that “the whole participation of the state in motor vehicle mat- tefs is based upon the theory of li- cense by government. The state de- términes who may have a car and Whe may operate it and under what restrictions,” he adds. “It would wear and tear have possibly | expen- | and at slight ex-| |seem to be no mére patersalistic to | determine what car is fit to be on | the pighway. 80 far as satety is con- cerned, than it is to determine who | may be _the highway as an | Uusightly automobile “cemeterie: |along the highways, and junk deal- lers who sell unsafe cars are aiso | disculsed by Commissioner Stoeckel lin advocating measures of control. | “It 1s possible,” he says “under ex- ‘mlmg law, for anyone to buy such {a car of a junk dealer for practi-| !cally nothing.

The size, extent and -ral ugliness of these junk piles, s attest the popularity and ble profit of this kind of busi- |ness. “While there does not appear to be any method at the present time whereby the defacement of seenery and loss of attractiveness Of‘ the side of highways caused by such sphetacles can be met, there should be some way devised by which own- ers of land are prevented from mak- ing it a public nuisance, “The argument in favor of this 1s perhaps idealstic but neverthe- less it is practical.
