Radical changes for the
perfection of the state motor vehicle

Legislature, according to Secretary Of
State Pearce, who is completing his
plans for the registrations for 1914,
which will start January /.
The law passed by the last Legisla.
ture which went into effect July Is is
considered big success for a new
measure. but there are many changes
which the secretary Of state and mo-
torists believe should be made as soon
as possible.
The most radical change to be
made Is the raising Of all registration
fees, Secretary Pearce would issLe
no license under s.. According to him
all motor vehicles up to twenty.horse-
power should pay registration fee
Of So. Cars rated between 20 and 40.
horsepower on this basis would pay
$40 instead OF S.. and cars above 40.
horsepower would be charged SIS. I'm
der the present law cars under 20.
horsepower are registered for $3.50.
1t Is said that the charge Of 81 for
chauffeur's license does not pay the
clerical expense Of issuing 1t, and it
Is suggested that the fee be raised
to IS.
Motorcycles which are charged 81
now will be raised to a license fee
of s. II the plans Of the secretary Of
state are carried out.
1t is planned to have u regular II.
cense for motorcycles under the re.
yised law. Under the present meas.
ure the riders OF these machines oh.
tain their numbers and paint them on
the mud.guard of their machine. This
method is considered unsatisfactory
and police officers have in many cases
Of speeding been unable to identify
these numbers.
The secretary Of state Is planning
to order $4,000 license tags for 1914.
The tags will be Of steel covered with
porcelain baked enamel and will have
a blue background with white nu.
Inerals.
