TRUCK REFUNDS IN 000 TANGLE
Beamer Limits Payments to Funds Not Turned Over To State Treasury.
A new, complex legal jam had developed today for the state motor vehicle license department.
Attorney General George N. Beamer yesterday ruled the department could refund to truckers the difference between license fees established by the 1941 legislature and fees which went into effect Feb. 27 when the Supreme court invalidated the 1941 license law.
Early Payers Suffer
The ruling limited the cases where refunds are possible to those in which the fees have not been turned over to the state treasury. In this event it would be illegal to withdraw funds for rebates without specific 1943 - legislative approprias tion. This limitation left the motor vehicle department in the embarrassing position of being able to make refunds to some truckers but not to others. Ironically, it will be the licensees who bought their plates early who will suffer sinee fees paid before Jan. 24 already have been turned into the treasury. Fees paid since that date still are on hand and the truckers can have refunds for the asking. How It Would Work
The 1941 law thrown out by the supreme court established rates from 20 to 25 per cent higher than the 1037 law which now is in effect. For example, the owner of a 1s-ton truck will get back $2 on plates which originally cost him $8 and the owner of a 1ls-ton truck will get back $7 on a $27 license. Assistant Motor Vehicle Administrator Harry A. Sharp expressed belief that those who bought truck licenses under the 1041 law will have to depend on the general assembly to get rebates.

Divorce Rate in
‘40 Set Record
WASHINGTON, March 27 (U. P).—It may have been uncertain world conditions and it may not. But love sure went out the window in these United States in 1940. The census bureau reported to= day that the 1940 divorce rate was the highest in history—264,000 divorce decrees, or better than one for every six marriages performed. That figure represented a 250 per cent increase over the 60,934 decrees granted in 1001, the bureau noted. It said the previous high year for divorces was 1938, when 251,000 decrees were granted. The bureau ceased gathering exact divorce statistics after 1932, when the number of decrees fell to 160,338—"as a result of the de pression,” according to the bureau.
