Governor Fort Urges a Bigger
License Fee.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Trenton. n. j., Jan. 11.-Governor Fort
in his message to the Legislature to-day
urges that the automobile license fees be
increased one-third above what is now
paid. lie says:
The automobile fees. which during the
last fiscal year under the present law
amounted to S245, 1e6 So can be utilized for
maintenance. With this system of high
ways our automobile fees should be in
creased about one-third above that which
is now paid, and the recommendation of
the Highway Commission on this subject
is heartily approved by the Executive.
If We wish to build permanently for
the future OF the state, nothing that we
can do will be of more benefit to it than
the establishment of the highway sys-
tenn proposed. It should not and will not
interfere with the present annual ap-
propriations made for road Improvement
The great burden upon the counties
in the matter of public roads is the
maintenance problem, and IL the counties
can be relieved of the annual maintenance
of $50 miles of highways 1t will mean
much in the matter of the reduction of
local taxation.

that no increase in rates shall go into effect

was debated at length to-day, being ad-
vocated by Senators Cummins, Clapp,
Borah and Dolliver- The friends of this
amendment felt confident of its passage a
few days ago. for they expected it would
have the united support of the Democrats.
Developments to-day made it clear, how
ever. that the Democrats are far rom
united on this question. Senator Martin
suggested an amendment requiring the In

the reasonableness of proposed increases Of
rates within six months While this
amendment was not formally offered. the

should be imposed. so that the commission
could not indefinitely suspend the right OF

and Sze-Chuen Railroad Only the final
approval of China is now required and
there is doubt here that it will be
promptly given The negotiations for this
loan have extended over year. First in
stituted by the American Ambassador TO
Great Britain, they were pressed by Secre-
tary Knox and even by the President him
self who sent a personal communication
on the subject to the Prince Regent of
China. China's approval of the particlpa-
tion of this country on equal terms with
the other powers was easily obtained, but
the several financial groups interested
found 1t more difficult to reach an agree
ment, and long delay has resulted. This
loan Is of unusual Importance. as it marks
the entry of American interests on a foot
ing equal to that of the other powers into
the work of developing China. The agree
ment reached provides that the fnanciers
Of each of the four powers shall share
equally in the loan of s30000,000. and this
country will so far as practicable, furnish
materials and engineers in proportion to
its fourth interest
BATTLESHIP LIMITS.-The approval by
both the Senate and the House of the Navy
Departments plans for enlarging the dry
docks at Brooklyn. Norfolk, Bremerton and
Pearl Harbor practically establishes a limit
for the size of battieshfps. This limitation
will be approximately $50 feet length, 100
feet beam and 80 feet draft. 1t is assumed
that 3O,0OO-ton ships will be built in the
not distant future, but it is expected that
that size will hardly be exceeded. The new
drydocks will have q beam of 40 feet. as
will also the locks of the Panama Canal.
The latter are 1000 feet long, but the ex-
treme limit of the drydocks is 75C-odd feet.
OF course, there are even now compare
lively few harbors with a depth of 30 feet,
and practically none, except Puget Sound,
with a greater depth.
