The coast league Is largely a California

comes to visiting major league clubs, the
owners of teams In tho coast league have
found that the Invaders do more to harm
Una to boost their business.
It Is a matter'of self-preservntlon," said
Stum at the New Orleann meeting.
"We do not mean to be Inhospitable, but

When major league teams visited our section
of the country to train and play exhibition
gsmes In our cities, we found that much of

'The fans flocked to tho ball parks to see

"As you know, we play a longer schcdtilo

This opinion seems to be gaining a foot

and In this period of reconstruction among
the minora It Is only natural that they
leave no stone unturned to help them recoup
(heir losses of the last three or four years.

SUto Motor Vehicle CommJftelonar
Elnted Over Result of Kano Case
In Supreme Court
TnnNTON', Dec. 7 The recent decision
pr the United States Supreme Cottr't sus
taining as constitutional New Jersey' au
tomobllo license law requiring nonreildent
ai well as resident atttolsts to take out li
censes In New Jersey for driving cars with
in this State doea not affect the touring
tnolorlat who takes advantage of Hid au
'.omobllo reciprocity act, but owing to
ahues vhlch hao grown out of this taw
there I. ,in Increasing demand throughout
tho State which It U snld. will ba presented
to the coming Legislature to considerably
curtail the reciprocity privilege. This privi
lege which Is In no way Involved In the liti
gation Just determined allows nonresident
outomoblllsts to operate their cars to fifteen
Hays each year in this State without having
to take out a SUto license.
.t.yi1!!' In n fovv '"stances It Is recorded
that the time limit of tho reciprocity prlvl
lege has ln enforced, tho reverse Is gen
erally the case. It in dimcult to keep rec
ord'' of cars using thh privilege and tha
tlmo limit Is pretty generally disregarded.
In speaking today of tho decision State
.Motor ehlclo Commissioner 'William L. Dill
said.
tii"',.'?'1 h,Knl ln,ed over the result of
thia litigation and I am particularly pleased
with the unanimous concuncnco In Justice
Drandels opinion. It nssuri-i) the ytate tho
right to eiact reiuunablo provision to In
sure safely It rxtcndi thn llrrno foe to
the nonresident an well as to tho resident.
Tho court holds that the power of a State
to regulate tho use of motor vehicles on iti
highways is proprrly exorclsod In Imposing
a license fee graded according to tho horse
power of the engine.
'The provision compelling nonresident
autolstn to designate tho Secretary of State
as their attorney In fact wss to enable resi
dents who had suffered Injury at the hands
of nonresldont autolsts to prosecute their
claims for redress In this Stnto Inste.vt of
being compelled to follow the nonresident
to his home State. The upholding of this
provision Is a very good thing for the mo
toring as well as the nonmotorlng publlo
of the State."
l.Vr IS THN TEARS OLD
Tho statute tested In tho United Stntoi
Supremo Court is tho law of 1908 as
nmended In 1908 nnd known no tho Krellng
huysen law Iteglntratlon and the pay
ment of tax by nonresidents wai defended
by tho advocates of tho Uw on thn ground
that residents of tho Ktato vrere obliged to
register and pay n license and It was but
fair that nonrcsldentx enjoying tho same
privileges In the use of the Improved roads
should be subject to tho i.vme obligations.
Registration was held to bo necessary
In order to afford a check on reckless or
criminal drivers and n meann of Identifica
tion of law hrenkers. whllo tho license fea
was compensation for wear nnd tear of thn
roads
Tho reciprocity provision wns adopted In
1913. In effect. It permits the resident of
any Stnto who has complied with the motor
la-vs of hln Slate tho right to drlvo In this
Stnto for fifteen days In any year without
complying with the requirements of tho law
of 1006 ns to registration, paying of llconsa
and filing n power of attorney with thn
Secretary of Stale, providing that tho laws
of.hlH homo Ktato extend tho same privilege
to New Jersey motorists For caino. how
over, the State Commissioner of Motor
enicies may suspend this privilege
Tho suit testing the Now Jersey net of
190G nnd its ninendmnnt In 1908 wan
brought by Frank J. Kane against tho
Stnto of New Jersey, nnrt although of In
terest primarily to .now jersey, the decision
sustains the automobile, tax laws of sev
oral other commonwealths.
AiiauED Fi:n was unreasonable
The case hinged on three points In tho
New Jersey stntuto: First. tha,t Kane lwd
failed to register his nutomobtlo In New
Jersey . (second that ho had failed to pay
the tax Imposed on nonresidents, and thirl
that he failed to flic with tho secretary of
State a power of attorney.
In their argument beforo tho court,
counsel for tho motorljta emphasised six
points summarized a3 follow.1 : That tho
New Jersey charge on automobile:! was not
In conformity with proper tax laws; that
the license feo was unreasonable and void;
that expenditures for Improved ro.ids
should be paid out of the general Ux fund;
that the law was discriminatory and class
legislation; that provision for power of
attorney ousted n user of the highways
from lila domicile, and that tho Uw was a
burden on Interstato commerce.
It was argued that the tax was not Imi
posed equally on tho users of tho roads
In that horse-drawn vehicles used the roada
and damaged them and that therefore tho
tax should have been Imposed upon thesa
vehicles as well upon automobiles.

SIXTEEN VALVE "FOUR"
A NEfT TYPE OF MOTOR
Combining Utmost Performance IPiih . ,.
TEADY concentration by Wfiite
possibilities of
new type of Four'' with power and flexibility beyond
anything, we believe, so far produced in any type of engine
Performance exceeds all expectation. Power, speed,
pickup, flexibility, easy hill climbing, silent operation,
have all been developed to the highest degree by increas
ing the number of valves without multiplying cylinders.
Maximum performance has been combined with the
manifest advantages of a simple, rugged engine.
The new motor establishes the fact, long foreseen 6y FF7i7te
engineers, that the secret of superior performance lies in valve
capacity adequate to piston displacement
This accomplishment was foreshadowed by The" White Com
pany two years ago when announcing its determination to adhere
permanently to the four-cylinder motor, and is backed by a
manufacturing record whose conservatism has never deviated
from a consistent
Scven-passengcr touring car, $4600.
