PaUic Disapproves of Compulsory Insurance
The Los Angeles Times says: "Public disapproval of the MDiPUlsory Insurance law In Ma.ssachusetts has reached tho mint where people and press are clamoring for Its repeal. Dfciaring that 'a major operation Is needed' with respect to ihij statute, the Boston Transcript says that 'for each sem- blsnce of merit which existing law mav be said to possess, experience has shown that It has a dozen defects'
"In Massachusetts the fact has been definitely established that compulsory insurance is neither feasible nor consistent atth accident prevention. The psychological effect of coin- pelllni motorists to take insurance Is the reverse of making tbem rareful.
"Fa'ial accidents have Increased at a frightful rate in tlio Bay State since January 1, 1927, when trfe law took effect.."
A year or two ago there was agitation In many other lUtes for similar legislation. Now, however. It seems that the mod Is the other wav. Compulsory Insurance, largely be¬ cause of the experience in Massachusetts, It is opposed by the aineral public. At present principal efforts are being given toievislnff and modernizing trafBc ordinances, and educating the motorist to his responsibility. Stringent automobile in- lonnce laws not only defeat their own purpose—accident urevenUon—but result Inevitably In higher rates, and gen- ersUy chaotic and unsatisfactory conditions.
Modem Road Tolls
Not so many years ago the country was honeycombed with toll roads. The motorist. In the course of a day's travel, eould pay out a good many dollars for the privilege of using them. 0
Now toll roads are few and far between. But the motor¬ ist still pavs a toll, and a far greater one than he paid iu the M days. The modem toll is gasoline tax, *" According to Webster's Dictionary, a toll is a tax or due paid for some liberty or privileg-'. particularly for the privi¬ lege of pa.ssm? over a highway. In states where a three-cent tax is in effect, tlie averaa ? driver must pay a cent every time be goes four miles. Under a si^-cent tax he pays a cent every two miles. In tl'.e latter instance, he drives 400 miles a day. he must pay two dollars in tolls.
These tols now aggregate more than $,50O.O00,om a y^ar. and they are constanty Increasing. Rumbles of sexen. ei?ht and ten-cent tax rates are heard, and even at present the gas tax almost eouals the price of fuel in many places. The dri¬ ven of the old days did a lot of complaining alxiut toll roads, but compared to the drivers of the present, they didut know vbat a toll really could bei
