TOWN AUTO LICENSE TAX
Lumberton Levies an Excessive Tax
Statewide Law Amended

Lumberton Levies an Excessive Tax
-State-Wide Law Amended
To the Editor Of The Robesonlan::
I note with regret what l consid-
er an excessive auto license tax
charged by our town. Only fe"
towns in North Carolina make any
charge. Some of the larger towns
charge from $1.00 to $3.50. l think
it lust as reasonable to charge IL
cense for a horse and buggy as fol
an automobile kept for pleasure.
Kindly tell the folks 1 have had the
new Statewide law controlling auto.
mobiles amended and the following
is now a law, having passed the en-.
rolling office today, the last clause
of Sec. 6: "Provided further, that ne
county, city or town may require :
total Registration fee in an amount
greater than one-half the fee re-
ouired by the State" =.
This applies to autos kept 10 10
pleasure only, not to those kept 10
hire, iitneys, trucks, etc.. -, 9.
I do not know how this Will SUI
the folks, neither do l care. thlni

ACTION AGAINST SUBMARINE
MENACE EXPECTED SOON

Washington Dispatch, March Z.
New action by President Wilson in
the next few days in the situation
resulting from the German unre-
setricted submarine campaign was
forecast today in administration quar-
tiers. If the form of the action has
been determined upon it was not re-
vealed. The possibilities fare the
arming of American merchantmen
by the govtrnment in spite OF the old
ials to phobiit such action; the con-
voying of the vessels by warships;
the immediate calling of an extra
session of Congress, and the placing
of American ships desiring to pass
through the danger zone under gov
eminent control.
