The one feature of the new state automobile tear which jgat at present Is creating the most vigorous protest, it Is ,reportet by II. IE. Crockett, secretary of state. Is that which requires a fee of $2 for the filing of a sworn bill of sale and certificate of ownership for. each automobile. Somewhat strenuous objection is being raised to this feature of the new tew, and ambng the most vigorous Protestants is said to be one august member of the I'tah state senate. "Did 1 vote for any such provision ss thatr be asked the deputy, who waited on him, when the tew on tho subject was if I had realiaed .out "Weii, pointed what It meant, you can bet, i would not - have" However, Investigation shows that the what seemed provision was put there forreason to the to be good end sufficient framers, of the bill, and It would seem members of most the by the vote that In t of the legislature at least acquiesce is Provi"the arguments --in$2 favor-is- now matter a fee sion; so that the of tew It turns out that the framers of the bill, which la aimed at automobile theft, . a trade which' was nourishing especially for a few months before the legislature n held Its session, thought that the provl-,iVnr the filing of bill of sale and - certificate of ownership would apply to all automobtle owners.

One of the principal activities of auto mobile clubs and automobile trade in their legislative work tlTTrLug to the laat two or three years has been use every effort possible to have motor unistates In various tews the vehicle been form, and to that end there has have a committee, whose headquartersuniform been in New Yoi k, studying motor vehicle legislation. As the result of this exhaustive study, there has been brought forth a national uniform vehicle law. A great many parts of this national law were placed upon the Utah statute books test year through the activity of the Utah motor vehicle conference committee. This committee was composed of representatives of the Utah State Automobile association and insurance agencies Splendid advice and cooperation were given them by the legal departCltv, as well ss Salt ments of Salt N 1. Hansen, a director I .she county. of the Utah State Automobile associacommittee and tion, was chairman of the of the C. C. Barkes, sdcretary-manage- r Intermountain Automotive Trades asso, ciation, was secretary. Mrs. Bsckea S explanation of ths reason for this law is contained In the following statement: "Among the first recommendations which passed the commlttee after s series of. meetings lasting over two months was a clsuse requiring the owner of each motor vehicle to file with the secretary of state an affidavit of ownership signed by the firm or Individual selling the mo- a tor vehicle. The committee ieltlhat, of personal property worth from - piece to $0000 should be surrounded with $200 soma protection in having Its title registered.

" This does not Interfere In any way with any person buying motor veh'cies on the time- payment plan, as the dealer or other individual simply makes a notation on the affidavit of ownership fHht ths car ls being sold under contract.

Three eastern states also have taken up a movement similar to that now Irt force in Utah It Is predicted that 'within two yeara law every elate in the Union will have similar lo the Utah statute requiring registration of title.

"There has been some little criticism with reference to the section requiring that all cars be Inspected before license numbers, "As originally Introduced in the senate, the bill providing for fees in connection with the filing of affidavits set $1 as the fee for filing both affidavits, la some unexplainable manner this bill as finally shows an ersigDilbyGovernorhIabey ror and requires a filing fee ot $2. Th thought back of the inspection- fee and the filing fee was to provide a sufficient revenue to take care of all expenses of the motor vehicle department, which is under the Jurisdiction of tjecretary of State H. EX Crockett. These fees give the secretary of state an opportunity to establish aome cross files for statistical purposes and else provide him with some funds for the salaries and expense In connection with checking up violations Of the motor vehicle act throughout the state. It Is surprising that In aome communities local officials do not attempt te carry out any enforcement ofjhe motor vehicle act, not even as to requiring proper license plates. A number of Utah olttsens were very rudely awakened last year by these inspectors and compelled to take out proper license plates for thoir cars "Under the new plan, as now in force, all of the money received from motor vehicle licensee now goes to pay interest and sinking fund on road bonds of the state of Utah. If it should happen that there are any excess amounts received over those necessary to pay interest and sinking-fun- d the edttxene of Utah may he assured that they will be applied to the bulldlnf ef good roade. The growth of thif state depends to a very large extent upon its transportation facilities. There are a Dumber of communities which cannot reasonably expect an electric or steam railroad branch line for many years to oome. Their economic welfare, therefore, depends upon the cost of transportation over highways, and it Is out duty to aaslst and aid in the development of these highways bv every legitimatenowmeans.

It is now pretty generally known by motorists that the car approaching from tho right has the right of ,way. The rule ia a fundamental in motor traffic and when sensibly and mutually observed makes for the safety and convenience r of all concerned. But it should be understood that there la both physical peril and legal liability for a motorist to always insist o using his right of way, regardless. Old Sbylock insisted on his pound of flesh, it will be recalled, and came to serious griefs H e had tho right, but found himself In difficult straits by insisting on a strict compliance. Well, Shakespehre aside, here is tfie law, reduced to a simple statement: "The law will even permit a recovery by the party who does not have the right of way, although he may have been negligent, if, .by the exercise of ordinary care,ho the party who had the right of way could have avoided injury to the party a did not have the right of way, after the party who hadSne right not have the right of way-i-n a position of ' peril or danger. ' Motorists must act reasoaably in connection with the traffic laws. ' There are two sides to traffic laws protection and privilege. Ones privilege does not go to the length of warranting him to precipitate a smash-up- , if he holds in his power the "last chance" of avoiding it. Jofcn V. Lyle in Bcenlo Motorist.
