VETS PLAN IN
 LOCAL OPTION

PHOENJX. March 2l-The second meeting of the soc alled imitation committee" appointed al ths first meeting of those interested in the re peal or modification of t.e prohibition law, was held yesterday in this city
 There was an attendance of seventy five. every county being represented Just what happened was aot made public but il was reported that form of bill substituting local option for pro- hibition was ordered drafted.
 It is also reported that it was made known at the meeting that no help need be expected this year from the great brewing and distilling interests which will be drawn upon for sinews of war in the titantic struggle which will take place in California between the 'wets" and The 'drys''
 IL is said that if the question of local option were submitted alone the "wets" would not have strong hope that il would carry. But il is thought that the temperance federation will attempt to tighten the grip Of prohibi bitiOn on the state by a provision de- clar.ng specihcall yag.inst the importa- ton of intoxicating liquor for person al use. That it is assumed. would not nearly carry this year and in the confusion that would result from it's submission. there might be chance the "wets" think. that local option proposition might be adopted.

PHOENIX. March I4-Thlt the offic- of Secretary of State Sidney Osborn is not on ly sell supporting but is bringing in the ns.ghburhood oi thirty thou sand dollars each year 10 the state. is ampl, explained by Osborn's report to the for the year 1915.
 The total receipts for the oficr for the year were SIS. 42g 22. Of which si5.579 OO wa furnished by moor vehicles The totai for The year is an advance of about sIO 100000 owe. the year I9ll. whil. the mo1-, obtained rr motor vehicles advanced from ..sGI.
 The expenditures for ;he office amounted to SlG.G7 3S making ne, earnings for the year s%I.765S4. In king of changes 10 be made 10 'he motor laws. the secretary advocates that all foreign macAines. that is autos from other states. be made to register their machines. here. in the same time as The state laws of the state from which they came. require Arizona machines to be registered therr.
 
 That licenses issued to chaufTers are mere farces is the opinion of he sec retsry. Under the present law. he points out that anyonr. without the slightest wlcdg. of a machine, can apply for and obtain license. On rhe other | nd it takes man three years 10 obtain a license 10 run a loco motive. H. advocates that his office be given power to revoke all chauffer's licenses. in case driver is proven in- competant
 r is also recommended iu the re port that all autos be required to be equipped wi h good and efficient brakes and that all electric lights on machines he frosted over the upper half

 Under the present law the license fee is based on tn" horse power of machines. computed under the 4. L. A. NJ rating. which is the square of the bore multiplied by the number of the cylinders and divided by % Be cause of this. owners of cars five. eight and ten years old are required to pay as much and in some instances more than the owners of the latest models
 This seems unfair and provision should be made for sliding scale of reductions on cars after they have words a fixed amount should be de- duci-d from the required fee after car has been in service for two years. a greater reduc ton on a car four years old and so on.
 Also. the present fee of s2 O0 pre- scribed by law to he charged for the transfer Of ownership of automobiles and SlOG for motorcycles is entirely out of proportion to the cost of per forming the service, and should be materially reduced A fee of fifty cents for the transfer of ownership of automobiles and twenty-five cents for mot orcycles is ample and i reccomend that these reductions be male %
