AUTO LICENSE LAW CHANCED Secretary Os State Explains (,'hanjje Made By Last Legislature Under the law enacted by the 1925 session of the legislature, a change In automobile license fees was made that is not generally known and is causing Considerable confusion among automobile owners, and that all may be advised, the attention of the public Is called to the new schedule that will be in force beginning .January 1. 1926. In the classification of license fees, the weight of. the automobile is now taken into consideration, as well as the horse power. Applications for 1926 1926 licenses are now being received licenses are now being received by the Secretary of State and local stations throughout the state and new plates will be issued beginning December 15. The 1926 license plates will have a green background with white figures, making a distinct color from the 1925 plates. In making application for licenses,' it is very important that you give the year in which the car was mad& as | well as the model, weight and horse 1 power. Without these, it is difficult to determine the fee that should be charged, causing a return of the application for correction. This makes additional work in the office of the automobile department as well as a delay in the delivery of the license plates. It is recommended that all automobile owners get their licenses at the stations of which there are 104 in the state. i The following are the new license fees: Bear in mind that the weight and model must be taken into consideration, as well as the horse power. Carefully read the following automobile license fees: ' Electric (except trucks) $ 509 Less than 25 H. P.; and less than 2500 lbs 5.00 Less than 25 H. P.; 2500 lbs. and 3000 lbs 6.00 Less than 25 H. P.; 3000 lbs. and less than 3500 lbs .... 7.00 Less than 25 H. P.; 3500 lbs or more 8.00 More than 25 H. P.; and less than 2500 lbs 8.00 More than 25 H. P.; 2500 lbs. and less than 4500 lbs. .... 9.00 More than 25 H. P.; and more than 3500 lbs 10.00 The following are the truck fees: % ton or less ..$ 600 More than % ton and not more than 1 ton 10.00 More than 1 ton and less than 2 ton 20.00 2 tons and less than 3% tons 35.00 3ls tons and less than 5 tons 60.00 5 tons and less than 7% tons 100.00 7% tons or more 200.00 Chaueffeurs license fees will be SI.OO per year instead of $2.00 as heretofore. The automobile law is now one of the most important and one of the most popular in the state of Indiana. Perhaps there is no tax whicih the people pay with as much cheerfulness as the automobile license fees. The public roads have brought thiis about and the more good roads we have, the more automobiles we will have. There are now quite one thousand miles of state roads in Indiana and six or eight miles of this solid cement, asphalt, brick, stone or gravel and it will only be a few years untill all the principal thoroughfares in the state will be hard surfaced or under state control. Indiana, unlike most other states, is paying for its roads as they are constructed, no bonds or debts of any character being left to burden the people in the future. During the present year nearly 200 miles of cement roads and many substantial bridges have been constructed and automobilists will travel miles out of their way to get onto one of these state roads. No state can boast of as many miles of hard surfaced roads as can Indiana and for this reason, the people willingly and cheerfully pay automobile license tees During the year 1925, there were 2,365 dealers licenses issued and 21,630 chauffeurs licenses issued. In 191)4. there were 10,403 motorcycle licenses issued while in 1924 there were only 4,562. People that formerly used motorcycyles now ride in automobiles owing to Che extension of the good road system. That you may have an idea of the' rapid growth of the automobile business. the following table will show the number of passenger and truck licenses issued each year since 1914 the first year that the present license system went into effect: | 1914 66,410 1915 96,615 1916 139,117 1917 192,195 1918 227,160 1919 277,255 1920 325,992

All this has been accomplished within the last ten years., | What may we expect during the next ten years. J, o More Children Leaving School To Go To W ork Washington, Dec. 10 — (United Press)—An increase in the number of children leaving school to go to jwork, was reported by the Children's , Bureau of the Labor Department in the annual report of Miss Grace Ab- , bott, director, today. Statistics, however, fail to give ! the number of children employed, because of the frequency of illegal ( employment of children below the , ages required in the state laws, the ( report stated. Repors from 35 cities on school ’ grades attended before going to work ) showed only 17 where a majority had 1 completed the Bth grade and 22 with a large proportion having attended ' the 6th grade or lower. The percentages in cities where work permits were obtained at 14 and 15 years were: Reading. Pa., 79 ! per cent; Baltimore, 79 per cent; New Orleans, 69 per cent; Pittsburgh, 63 per cent; New Britain, Conn., 61 per cent; Birmingham, 61 per cent; Harrisburg, Pa., 59 per cent; Louisville, 57 per cent; Waterbury, Conn, 55 per cent; New Haven, 45 per cent; Rochester, 41 per cent; Chicago, 39 per cent; Yonkers, 38 per cent; Bridgeport, 38 per cent; Hartford, 38 per cent; Los Angeles, 19 per cent and San Francisco, 14 per cent. o Indians Protected By Budget Bureau, Annual Report Says Washington, Dec. 10. — (United Press) —The budget system in the executive and legislative branches of tire government effectively blocks exploitation of the American Indiana through Congressional legislation, the Board of Indian Commissioners declared in their annual report to Secretary of the Interior Work today. ‘Tn former yedrs it was not so difficult for interested white men to get’ (he approval of the national legislature for special measures which were so skillfully phrased that the real purposes of the bills were concealed,’ 'the report declared. "Some of the Indian legislation which proved to be most harmful to the Indian people, was tacked upto Indian appropriation bills las amendments. » "Under the present system, however, every appropriation item must first have been authorized by law. Consequently any bill authorizing an appropriation now must stand on its own feet on the floor of the Senate and | House. It cannot be smuggled into an appropriation bill as an amendment.’’ The Commission emphasized its previous recommendations for legislation making reservation Indians amenable to state laws. The report pointed out that the rapid progress of the In-| dians and their increasing comming-j

Morgan (U. P. Staff Correspondent* Rome, Dec. 10.—Vatican circles to--day manifested their undisguised displeasure at the publicity given the recent letter of the united committee for prohibition enforcement, (U. S. A.) appealing for papal moral support for the organization's work. The fact that the letter was made public in Washington before it was in the hands of his holiness was disliked. especially as such appeals are deemed confidential until the proper time for public announcement comes. As a result of the Vatican displeasure. it is now practically certain that the letter will be answered, while courteously, only with a simple acknowledgment of receipt. o More Data Required On Employed Women Says Women’s Bureau Washington, Dec. 10. — (United Press)—Thera Is insufficient data available through government channels to make comprehensive studies of woman’s place in industry. Mair Anderson. Director of the Woman’s Bureau, declared today iu her report to Secretary of Labor Davis. It is of special Importance to learn something more about married women in gainful ocupations, Miss Anderson said. “The problem of employed married women and especially of the employed mother, linked so closely as it is with the welfare of the home and the family, is naturally one of the most vital as well as one of the most complex problems before the country today,” she declared. The census bureau reports show the number of married women employed at 2,000,000 in 1920, but only those married women with husbands living at home are given. "These figures fail to show the number of widowed or divorced mothers at work or the number of children affected by the employment of mothers,” she said. Occupational conditions affecting all women should be studied and funds made available tor this work, she urged. SHIRAS MOOSE DIFFER The Moose of the Yellowstone is called the Shiras M.oose and differs a little from the coomon moose of the East and the Alaska moose, the larger and darker form, of the North, says Nature Magazine. Horace M. Albright, superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, estimated from foulr to six hundred moose in the park, living principally in the southern half. — o Plenty of Fresh Oysters and Fresh Boneless Fish.—Mutschler’s Market. — O— Buy him a pair of house slippers for Christmas at Johu T.
