I Greensboro, Dec. 20. A uniform
traffic law, a title act to' protect au
j tomobile owners, the regulation of sal
I aries and fees of rural arresting off i-
cers licensing; of ail drivers and the
; regulation of motor busses and trucks
! are among the most important rneas
'. ures of the Carolina Motor Club's leis
i lative program,1 which now is being
j nepared for presentation to the gener
' al assemblies of Nort Carolina and
! South Carolina, it was announced here
members of the organization in the two
states with a request for expressions of
opinion so that the committee mav be
gin its 'campaign for the passage of
a definite program.
The fourteen suggested reforms are ,
as follows:
"First: North and South Carolina
should adopt a uniform traffic law
that will, so far as practical be uni
form with the uniform laws now bein
enacted in many other states. Such
a law would certainly add efficiency
to the enforcement of the traffic regu-
-atlon' anumake motoring more ot a
"Second: Urge a certificate; of Title
.eel to protect, tne title to motor ve
hicles in North and South Carolina; to
provide for the issuance of certifi
cates and of title and evidence of reg
istration thereof; to regulate the re
coveiy of motor vehicles stolen or oth
erwise unlawfully taken; to provide
for the regulation and licensing of
certain dealers in used and second hand
vehicles.
"Such a law is now in force in four
teen states. Its purpose is chicXlv to
'-prt'PtiK " thfa- -paltf uftsVich- ears.' It
seems reasonable that titles to motor
vehicles should be provided just as
provided for real estate. The cost of
the title would be about one dollar.
"Third: One of our prominent bank
er members recommends the enact
ment of a law to regulate salaries and
fees paid the rural officers in the mat
ter of arrest of people using the high
ways. The suggestion is made that
numerous arrests are made in order
to 'help business.'
"Fourth:' Membc-vs report there is
no differential on icrge tracks, equip
ped with to! id tires, ft is suggested
that h pneumatic equipment ' cer
tainly is much easier on the road, and
in moct Flat".; at the present time
there is a differential in their favor.
"Fifth: One member suggests some:
provision should he made where by the
county, when operating motor equip
ment wouid be liable for damages
caused by their equipment when oper
ated contrary to law, causing damage
to the individual, the same as any oth
er corporation. One member had the
experience in which n truck operated
by Iredell County Highway commis
sion, running without lights after
dark, ran into an automobile in which
he was driving, damaging same badly,
fortunately not hurting any of the
occupants. The member was unable
to recover anything on account of the
fact that there is no provision under
the law, whereby a county can be held
for damages in this case. This should,
be rectified. Id embers, give us your
exneriences so that all will he in the
1 bands of the legislative committee.
i "yivtir Tlio oiio-.TtistTfin ir.;:(!e of
the absolute necessity of having a lav
requiring all moving vehicles, whether
horsedrawn or- otherwise, to carry a
light after dark. It is not only funfair
to motorists to be subjected to. wagons
and buggies and horses on the road
without proper designation after dark,
but it is very dangerous to these people.
. "Seventh: Use of two state license
plates instead of one' is suggested be
cause the state loses so much adver
tising when the car is in other states,
and at times the motorist experience
trouble with small town officials who
are not acquainted with our law aJid
-
; ;o. f,V!1(irs of motor v
think two plates are required."
drivers, m-
vehfcles, ap-
pjcants being required to pass mental
iund nhvsifMi examinations and pay a
'fee of from $1.00 to $5.00 for drivers'
j license which may be revoked by a
! traffic court or the secretary of state,
i "Ninth: Regulation and restriction
of. the operation of motor busses and
! trucks in the state and inter-county
highways. It is suggested that all
commercial vehicles should be placed
under the jurisdiction of the state cor
poration commission and that commer
cial vehicles using highways should
be dealt with as common carriers: that
'he size, height and speed of the ve
hicles should be limited by law, and
' hat they should be taxed in direct pro
portion to the benefits they derive
from the use of the highways. Legisla
tion of this character should not be
for the purpose of crippling companies
engaged in the business of commer-
