AUTO LICENSES
NOW Due AGAIN
FEW APPLICATIONS FOR 1914 HAVE
BEEN FILED WITH SECRETARY
OF STATE.
Over 2000 Licenses Issued Last Year
Bringing to Idaho Golfers
approximately $4,000.

| BOISE, Jan. Licenses which own
ers of automobiles and motorcycles
must secure from the secretary OF state
before they can operate their machines
on the public highways OF this state ex-
pired January L and new ones are now
required. Up to yesterday but a few
applications had been made for the Ii
censes, but it is expected that before
the present month is over owners OF
machines will be waiting in line at the
secretary of states office to secure
them.
The auto license law went into effect
last May and owners OF machines,
which are exempted from taxation now,
were required to secure licenses and at
Many owners failed to secure their Ii
censes until late i'll the year, some OF
them applying for them late into the
fall. The 1913 licenses were only good
for that year no matter when the
owner of a machine took them out. 1t
makes no difference whether he secur-
ed the license in December of last year
or earlier, he will find that it does not
license his machine for a year from
the date of taking it out He is requir-
ed under the law to secure a new Ii |
cense for the year 1914.
Last year the secretary of state is
sued 2243 auto licenses to motor We
hicile owners, over 200 of them being |
purchased by motorcycle owners and |
the balance going either to individual
owners or to dealers in automobiles
who are required to take out dealers
license which covers the demonstra-
lion cars that he has for sale.
1t was expected when the law was
passed that more licenses than the
otal here given would be required to
supply the machines OF this state.
These licenses brought into the state
IN average of $15 each, which is also
,elow the average estimated when the
ill was passed. The total revenue
aised for the use of the state highway
through the licenses was
approximately $4,000.
