Ohio has a public utility law which would require these trucks to obtain Ohio licenses before entering the state. I In his telegram Governor Branch asked a return of the courtesy granted Ohio trucks, which are permitted

to pass through Indiana unmolested. Operators of long distance trucking companies were in conference with Governor Branch yesterday to present a vigorous protest against the practice of Ohio authorities in arresting their drivers. O. E. Armstrong, general manager of the P. & A. Dispatch Co., said eighteen drivers of his firm had been required to furnish bonds totaling $36,000 following their arrest. An effort was made by his company to obtain Ohio licenses, Armstrong Raid, but the applications were refused. He declared ware-house owners and inter-state drivers of trucks ' in Ohio were aiding authorities in making the arrests in en effort to stifle competition. The state of West Virginia demanded a return of courtesy from Ohio and was refused, according to Armstrong. Authorities of that state then retaliated by arresting more 300 Ohio truck drivers who attempted to enter West Virginia last week end. — —o 1

The increase is proposed in place of having the legislature enact a law providing for increased auto licenses similar to the one that was passed by the last legislature but later declared inconstlutional in the state supreme court because of the inheritance tax rider. An increase of one cent on a gallon of gasoline—making the two cents —with a tax of from five to ten cents on each gallon of oil used was spg gested. Others believe a smaller in- ' crease on the gas tax. coupled with 3 auto license fees not quite as high > as those proposed by the 1923 legisla s ture would be made equitable. The automobile license fee increase as provided by that legislature would . have added approximately $3,000,001) , annually to the funds of the state highway department. [ The gasoline tax is now bringing i in revenue To the extent of approxi- • mately $4,000,000 annually to the department’s funds. In addition, about $500,000 is being turned over to th< i various counties for road maintenance

and construction. The gas tax and higher license fees were provided by the legislature ol 1923 to yield revenues necessary t< keep the program of road construction and maintenance up with the de mantis placed upon the highway sys tern by the ever-growing volume of auto traffic. The problem of finding still greater revenues for the same purpose will confront the legislature next January.
