"ANTI-AUTO SOCIETIES" i FORMED BY FARMERS Look on Automobile as Real Menace and Will Ask Legislative Regulation. ^ ^ C'/k/.I At 5 AC 1 w- "t"Vl / ruju*auiuiui;uiir ovvicuvo 10 IXIN Iriest in Tennessee. laa many parts of the country, it i: . -ssiti, farmers are regarding u i!T?. 5?Ies as a real mem.ce, and will brini ^pressure to bear in legislatures tc yt^rulate them. Not only <lo the au Scssobiles monopolize tin* highways af itir tiiey have been improved at enor tiaous expense to the farmers, bat thcity owners of cars make forages int< she country, helping themselves to mel ?ms, fruit, chickens and almost any <3i?ng on uie larui nuu is xuuvuuie. To overcome "speeding" it is pro .pos-ed in some quarters to have laws enacted prohibiting the operation oi any power-driven vehicles on the high ways that can travel more than tb< mmiiber of miles per hour prescribec && the limit. In other words, if thf *tate law provides that no vehicle shal Avar hiHiTTAVS fit fl mte O] speed greater than eighteen miles at &our, no automobile that is geared t< jrtm at a greater rate of speed shall be JBeensed in fcfee state. Not a few citj residents are said to be ready to joit "witii their country cousins in their ef fart to curb the "ruthlessness" of th? automobile owners. It is contended that "speed limits" prescribed by law cannot be enforced generally and thai isire only way that automobiles can bt 'Stopped from racing through the coun try roads and city streets at dangerom rates of sj>oed is to limit their capacity for rapid travel. ? <> ?0?ee? ? ? ?
