is somewhat different And yet it is natural, too.

to Congress today a strong national
defense message; with bills for
strengthening the land and naval
forces being introduced and prepared
by many members, William jennings
Bryan is working tooth and nail to
head off the Administrations defense
measures and to block, II possible, the
passage of adequate bills for the en-
largement of army and navy.
Mr.. Bryan not only Is getting all

in opposition to defense. but he is
bestirring himself, to organize the anti
preparedness elements in House and
Senate. "v

His purpose is to thwart the Admins

Automobile Licenses
Make Big Income

The amount of money received by
the State from the registration and
licensing of automobiles and drivers
in 1915 will be three times the total
amount received from the same source
in 1912.
The receipts of the Automobile Di-
vision of the State Highway Depart
ment for the first six months in 1915,
the books for which were closed last
night, show that S1,4S3, ,2010O had
been received. During the last few
weeks the receipts of the Autom obile
Division have been averaging about
81, 900 a day.
abel when it is considered that on
the first of July 1912 the total re-
ceipts of the Automobile Division were
$4,000. On the first of July 1919.
these receipts were S749, 900; on the
first of July, 1914, the 81, 100000 mark
had been passed, the receipts show
ing S1,069,000. This figure for july
l last year was passed early in Aprii
of the present year.
Naturally the receipts during the
first two months of the year are the
heaviest. but from February l to July
l the tendency is steadily upwards in
all the years. In 1912, $4,000 were
received. In January of the present
year the figures were s742, 900, an in
in a single months figures.
Officials of the State Highway De-
partment said to-day that there was
little likelihood of any let up in the
receipts of the Automobile Division
for the next two months. Under the
Registration Law the one-half rate
fees go into effect to-day and as "A
result of this there will be probably a
sharp increase in the number of
registrations and licenses granted dur
ing the next month or six weeks. 1t
is likely that the $780, 900 mark will
be passed within the next fortnight
and according to information given at
the department to-day, it would seem
probable that the total receipts for
1915 would approximate s1.750, 900.
The total receipts for 1914 were ST.
184,646.50; the total receipts for 1918
were $841.012; the total receipts for
1912 were $597,70S.
