Idaho Auto Licenses.

Boise Idaho will license 10000
automobiles this year, Ia the opinion
OF George West, highway clerk ln the
secretary OF states Office, who an-
nounced that he had sent out $4,000
automobile plaLes siuce the first OF
January. and has applications on
md for 1000 more
Some weeks ago West estimated
that $4,000 licenses would be sold,
but he says now that those figures are
too low.
The state and the several cGanties
will receive nearly $400, 900 from au,
tomobile owners and dealers and
cbauffeurs. Seventy five per cent OF
money will revert to the counties / ii
which the automobiles are owned, to
be used on the roads, while the state
will get % per cent. Last year only
l3, 900 licenses were sold.
The state highway commission has
purchased 10000 plates for next year,
bat he indications are that more
must be ordered later, West says
UUdfr terms Of the new law, cars
must have plates in front as well as
on the rear.
This year the state is paying a
fraction over II cents each for plates,
or nearly $4,000 for those that will
be used next year. Last year, plates
cost 81 cents each.
An average Of six cents each is be.
ing spent for stamps. 10 some states
the plates are shipped by freight TO
the county commissioners and distrib
uted, but 10 Idaho the plates must
be sent direct from the capitol tu

rights and privileges Of citizenship
60 the duties, responsibilities and
obligations OF citizenship. Our
government, he said, had been
forced into the war in defense of
the great cause Of humanity and
freedom; the time forsargument as
to whether armies should be raised
by the volunteer system or by con-
scription was past; the government
had decided for conscription, and
now he said every citizen, whether
native born or naturalized, whether
he voted for the president and the
majority in congress or not, is in
duty bound by his allegiance as
citizen to support his government
III the task it has undertaken. Dis
loyalty, he declared, cannot be
tolerated. Men, he said, real
men-do not pause to count the
cost when someone is in peril and
in need OF immediate help; and so,
a real, red blooded nation, stand
ing for liberty and humanity, when
the time comes to act defends
those principles regardless of cost
in men and money. America, he
said, must help to win this war if

10 administering its great responsible.
tiles, the President of the United
States has created a Red Cross War
Council. We of the Council know
now only what the minimum REQUIRE.
inents are. But we know already
That the needs which our Red Grass
can alone supply are at present be.
yond computation.
Indeed the duties and the opnor.
tunities which confront our Red
Cross have no precedent in history
and are not within human estimate
today. The War Council, however
can make defiute plans aud budgets
only to the extent to which it is sup
ported by the generosity of the Amer.
lcan people.
At the moment, the real question
is not SO much how much money we
need but rather how much can lie
spent wisely and made effective in
the immediate future. The War
Council, therefore, after carefully
considering the matter is certain that
even TO approach compliance with
the most pressing needs will require
at least 500, 900, 900.
1t is an enormous problem; it must
be handled with big heart, with a
broad vision and with the highes
business ability. The War Council
regards Its task as very sacred trust
aud il will give to this labor tf
humanity the best ability at it,
command.
If each individual American now
contributes his "bit," there can be no
failure. America will, We feel sure. in
this again demonstrate her ability to
handle big task 10 big way. That
we may be able to perform this grear
task, we shall appeal To the gener-
oSity aud for the hearty CD operation
