Despite the fact that Chief Wander
luster Boyle has issued directions sev-

reiterated his former directons-nameiy:
Directions for Outing.

he said No one receives a special in
tation, nut every one in Washington

Is a Saver Of Time and Money

~ HERE can no longer be any question
as to where the motor truck STANDS
in the modern commercial world.
The truck in the past few years has
risen from a more or less venturesOme eX-
pertinent to the one real big and efficient
transportation means Where, 10 years ago.
there were not more than a dozen trucks in
the United States, today there are thousands
of every size ana type carrying on the
work of the business world.
The best illustration Of the rise OF the
motor truck is the report made a few
months ago by secretary Of state Mitchell
May, Of New York This report declared
that on October 1st, 1913, there were $4,000
licensed commercial motor vehicles regis
tered in New York state. This number, the
report further declared, was an increase Of
46 percent over the previous year.
While New York state, having within its
borders the largest city in the country has
always been an acknowledged leader in the
use Of motor vehicles, the report OF secre-
tary Nay can be taken as indicative OF the
standing Of the motor truck throughout the
country. While the figures are not avail
able. 1t is safe to say that at least 40 states
in the union have seen a like increase in
the use Of motor trucks. In every city town
and village, and in many country districts.
more and more trucks are being put into
The reason for the popularity of this
vehicle is obvious The truck has become
an economic necessity through a course Of
experience and demonstration that is natu-
raj and logical.
There are many cases on record where
one truck has taken place Of 10 horses and
five wagons in the transportation Of mer-
chandise. Cases where six horses and three
wagons have been substituted are more than
numerous and 1t is safe to say that there
is hardly a truck in operation today that
has not done away with at least four horses
and two wagons. These figures apply to
the heavy motor truck the vehicle of two.
four or even six ton capacity. The lighter
truck, with capacity Of 1000 pounds to
one ton. while operating in another sphere,
has been and is just as efficient. While
the number of horses and wagons dis
carded is not as great per truck. it is not
at all unusual to find business firms whose
commodity is comparatively light, which
have done away with three TO five one
horse wagons since installing the power
vehicle
Not only can a power vehicle be oper-
ated for less money than would be required
for horses and wagons to do the same
amount of work. but it adds to the profits
Of its owner in another way. It brings him

MICHIGAN LAW IS
DECLARED UNJUST
Taxation Measure, Passed as a Registry
Law is Thrown Gut BIZ the Courts
When Appealed.


They have discovered in Michigan that It
costs no more to register a high powered
automobile than one Of low power. The
state legislature passed an act extracting
SO cents q horse power from the motor car
owners They tried to call tax law a IL
cense law and the court could not under
stand it that way.
The state win now have to return to the
motorists s226sO00, collected under this un-
constitutional act.
The clear purpose Of the legislature IN
exacting so large an amount under the guise
OF regulation" said the court. makes it
tax measure, which clearly is not covered
by the title Of the act
THE obvious purpose Of the new law. IN
ereasing the fees according to horse power.
was to increase the highway fund. There
can be no more labor or expense in register
ing a vehicle Of high horse power than In
registering one Of low horse power and the
only reasonable purpose in the graduated
fee is the increased revenue
rms graduated fee according to horse
power must be held to be a mere guise or
subterfuge to obtain the increased revenue
In our opinion, the act clearly is a tax
measure when stripped Of its guise. and a.
a tax measure the object is not embraced in
the title and for that reason alone is un-
constitutional"
