During this year the state expended
just S9,0S950 Under the law the
state reimburses the counties one-half
although the state VIII not settle for
any bounty higher than S25.
Provided all counties paid the same
bounty the total sum spent for the
killing would be $1S,O79. But some
counties pay as high as $40 hide,
which would increase the total money
spent considerably. although it would
not fix the states payment any high

HEAVY AUTO TAX

The new automobile tax law which
goes into effect January 1 next, will
bring a lot more money into the state
and county treasures, but will be bad
news to auto owners when they buy
their 1916 licenses. instead of the
present three dollar license fee they
viii have to pay at the rate of 25
cents per horsepower plus rs cents
per 100 pounds weight OF the car. The
secretary Of state mas figured out
that the average pricve Of a license
will be about S13. The ordinary Ford
car will cost about 81 license fee and
larger cars much more.
1t is figured that next year about
$4,000 licenses will be issued, as 1O2,
600 have been issued already this year
as against about 10000 for the whole
year 1914. The total sum paid for
these licenses, it is estimated, will be
about S1,75O0OO, half Of which will

Yesterday word came from this

MUST BE SHOT and that the owners
are liable to SO fines and ten-day i'm

AUTO BUSINESS GETTING
BIGGER
Alma Among The Leaders, Says Free
Press


For years the motor car business
has been written in big figures. daz-
cling dividends, enormous building
operations and other things have run
into hundreds of thousands and mill
lions. But among all Of these moth
ing quite classes with the plan of the
Ford company to hand back to pur-
chasers more than S15,000,000, start
ing next week.
When the 1915 Ford announcement
was made last August it was accom-
panied by the promise to rebate $50
on each car purchased within the
twelve month providing 300, 900 cars
were built and sold. 1t was so unusu-
al that the people did not know how to
take it at first, but they were not long
in wheeling into line.
The refund money has been set a
side and now the millions are in the
bank, and the checks are being made
and soon will be on their way. The
100000 mark was passed on the six
teenth and it is estimated that $4,000
buyers will have rebates coming.
At the time OF writing this nothing
definite had been announced Of the
Ford policy for 1916 but that it will
contain somewhat of surprise there
is little question.
But Ford activities do not rest who'll
~ in the production of automobiles
and light delivery cars. Just now a
most elaborate plan is being worked
out whereby there will be a number
of Ford plants on the River Rouge
which will be greater in floor space
than the Highland park factory. This
scheme includes the plant for the
building of light farm tractors, fur
naces for the converting of ore into
iron and possibly a factory at which
| tires will be made.
1t is most elaborate scheme, one
that it will greatly necessitate such
great expenditure that few other
corporations could finance it. Howa
ever, there it no question about it
eventuating and when it does it will
give employment to 10000 men.
Detroit and the nearby cities Of
Flint Pontiac, Jackson, Lansing and
Alma, lead in the production Of auto
mobiles and motor trucks of al
grades. or course the Ford domi-
nence puts this city far ahead in the
field of cars selling for $500 or less
The Buick Sudebaker, Maxwell Oak
land Saxon, and some others viii sell
more cars in the division between $500
and 81 zoe than any other state. The
Cadillac, Chalmers, Hudson, Buick
King. Studebaker, Paige, Hupp, Old
and others will have the greatest ag
gregate Of cars between $1,000 anC
$4,000 The Packard will lead all il
the production of the high priced car!
between $4,000 and $4,000.
So the future of the industry il
Michigan, is safe and very bright
There is no inclination on the part O
the successful companies to abandon
the city where they have made thei
great strides for Chicago or any othe
place. Michigan will continue to b'
the motor state Of the Union, and onl.
unforeseen calamity can prevent TIL
output of 1916 models from being tn
greatest in the history of this country
