277 N.W. 535 | Minn. | 1938
The court concluded that this proceeding was solely under L. 1933, c. 352, and that a license could be granted without proof of petitioner's financial responsibility. There is much in Halverson's present situation that appeals to the sympathy of the court. But we are persuaded that the two acts passed, approved, and effective the same day are to stand together and be harmonized. True, there is a repealing clause in c. 352, but that cannot possibly intend to repeal anything contained in c. 351, passed concurrently. We think the one supplements the other. There can be nothing legally objectionable in putting drivers convicted of serious violations of the motor vehicle statutes in a class separate from drivers who have not been so convicted, and require of the former security or conditions not required of the latter in order to receive a license to operate on the state highways. Petitioner does not question the constitutionality of any provision in either act. And it could not well be done in view of such decisions as Watson v. State Division of Motor Vehicles,
The order is reversed.
