GALL BALLED UP"

The secretary of state asserts that
the state is out nearly $332,O00 OF
it's auto license money because auto
owners haven't paid the license on
their cars The reason the state is
short is that the secretary hasn't col
lected it, He AYERS that 1t is hard to
collect because of the new law which
makes one license number good for
three years instead OF one, as was
the case previous to the passage OF
the new law which he explains is
easy Of evasion. The shortage. he
admits, is not because of any de-
crease in the number of cars. That is
evident enough to the common OBJ
server who can not walk block
without seeing from one to dozen
cars carrying paper legends license
applied for.
When we begin to talk OF short
ages of more than quarter million
dollars in license fees the situation
takes on mighty serious aspect.
No doubt it argues weakness OF the
| law but it also suggests weakness
elsewhere.
The auto plate business. has been
''all balled up from the beginning.
Long delays have obtained before
One thing and another has interven-
ed in one way and another to general
annoyance and disgust. and now
Ossa in the form of huge Loss is pill
| ed upon the Pelion OF annoyance and
delay.
The fact is that if the auto plates
were distributed and the license
money received in the counties by
the county auditor there would be
neither loss nor annoyance. Neither
would there be occasion for the en-
ployment of big force to care for
needless congestion. Collections
would be easy because evasion would
be hard. And there we'd be.
However, the collections are now
being made from the office of the sec
rotary of state 1t is up to. him to
make them. And neither the state
nor he can afford to tamely watch
,S19.25 fade away without spec
ial effort.-Marshallto Times-Re-

vision being east Tennessee, North

issued from the division headquarters
and called RED Cross Briefs. Later
it will become a regular newspaper.
An extra force has been employed to
send out pamphlets and literature
bearing nothe campaign, and there is
every indication that the Southern Di-

The dispatch of the German govern
