The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-01-07

Tallahassee, Jan. 7.-Twenty-four
thousand applications for automobile
license tags were properly made to
the comptroller and that many tags
mailed out before midnight of the last
day of 1917. One hundred and ninety
thousand dollars was the approximate
amount received for these tags. This
was deposited by the comptroller in
various local banks, being about
equally divided among them. Comp.
troller Amos now has on hand about
So, 900 for tags which were not deliv-
cred before the first Of the year, but
these will 60 out as fast as his force
can mail them. At the outset $4,000
tags were ordered by the comptroller
and his contract called for their de-
livery in the state house by the LIST
of December, but the first car did not
arrive till the 9Th, the second on the
10th and the third carload has never
shown up. In the year 1917 the va
rious tax assessors of the state locat-
ed 24,1S2 automobiles in the, state and
the state. The comptroller figured
this included but little over so per
cent of the cars in Florida, so he or.
dered $4,000 tags, and he believes he
will have use for practically all of
them.
After the expenses of the comp.
troller are subtracted from the total
amount of moneys collected for auto.
mobile licenses, IS per cent of the re.
mainder goes back to the various
counties, the amount they receive be-
ing based upon the assessed valuation
of each county and the other Is per
cent goes for the maintenance of the
state road department The IS pei
cent, however, does not actually &c
back to the counties, but is spent or
their roads under the direction of the
state road department. The comp
troller's expenses will be heavy;
large force had to be employed to gel
tags out on time; the tags themselves

Give the Owner Time

The comptroller says that because
the law is a new one and the mails
have been unusually heavy during the
holidays and many people did not un-
derstand the law, / hope the prosecut-
ing officers and sheriffs will give ev-
eryone ample time to get his tag. In
most states the comptroller is permit
ted to grant such an extension OF
time. The governors favors 1t here.
Many did not know that they were
required to swear to the description
of their cars and simply sent a IS bill
in letter. That caused delay, be.
cause he had to be written to and
asked to do the job over again. Some
of the tags have gone astray because
the addresses given were not plain
or sufficient. Some did not accom-
/ pany their applications with certified
cashiers checks, and these had to be
returned. We have $4,000 on hand
from persons who have made bona
fide effort to secure their tags and
they will receive them in due time
These people should not suffer, be
cause in every instance the fault has
not been theirs. | suggest that the
sheriffs and prosecuting officers al
low few days for the automobile
owners to get their tags, so that ne
one will be punished unjustly.. These
people are only technically guilty ant
no doubt the officers will use theil
own judgment in arresting the owners
of tagless cars. 1t should be remem
bered that for two weeks tags have
been carried from my Office to thu
! postoffice in two-horse wagon loads
two or three times each day, and II
that volume Of business some errors
are certain to be made.

FEM BOND SLACKERS
IN THIS COMM NIFTY

Since the second letter was sent
out by the Liberty Loan committee,
reminding those who had not already
subscribed for their quota of bonds
that the end of the campaign is draw
ing near, both banks have received
numerous bond subscriptions.
1t looks now as if there would be
few, if any, financial slackers to re-
port to the governm ent from this
community. All seem to appreciate
the necessity of backing up the war
program with their dollars and of
each one assuming his or her fair
share of the burden.
Out of about 1900 persons to whom
notices were sent by the Colfax com
mittee, all but 35 have taken their
quota of bonds and this number will
doubtless be further reduced. The
Pullman committee hope to be able to
report that this community is 100
per cent loyal in the purchase of
bonds

PADDLE FOR FROSH
WHETHER OR NO
Conflicting Edicts Issued by Fresh
men and Upperclassmen Make First
Year Men Goats in Padding Bee

A free-for-all padding bee, in
which the Freshmen who appeared
without the green caps were padded
by the upperclassmen and those who
wore the verdant headgear were pun
ished by their holder classmates, was
quieted by President Holland Tuesday
morning after it had assumed pro-
portions that threatened to involve
the entire student body. The edict of
the Freshmen that they would no
longer bow to the dictates of the up
perclassmen was adopted Monday
night, and few minutes later the
upperclassmen had met and taken ac.
ton that caused the upperclass stu
dents to appear in chapel armed with
paddles to be used on the first year
men who failed to wear the Fresh
men insignia. The direct conflict
of the two edicts made life a misery
for the Freshmen, whether or not he
wore the green cap, and the conflict
Of the forces started at the opening
of the chapel period. After half a
hundred of the first year men had
been padded for one or the other of
the ,offenses," and few upperclass-
men had been famed for interference,
President Holland appeared on the
scene and caused a scattering of The
cOmbatants.

athletes thought that they had
cinched down to the relay as thew
knew they could beat Lewis and
Clark in that event. Pullman entered
into the race for the siX-man CUB

the relay which they did from North

JAPAN URGED
To INTERVENE
Diplomatic Corps Recommends
That Japanese Nation Take
Note OF German Menace.

HARDIN. Manchuria June IL
Although it has been reported that
Gen. Seminof. commander of the
forces operating against the bolshe-
Wiki i'm Siberia, is hourly in eXpec-
tation of Japanese troops TO support
him there is no confirmation that
these troops actually are on the
way.
1t has been learned. however, that
strong recommendation have been
made by the diplomatic corps for
the immediate Intervention of the
japanese in the face of the grow
ing German menace. These recon-
mendations have been forwa rded to
the governments of the respective
diplomats. including the Washing
ton government.
The friction between Lieut.. Gen.
HorIath, military commander at
Hardin, and Gen. Seminon has sub
sided Seminoff has agreed 10 rec
ognize Horvath's authority. Semi
noff. however. will have free
hand militarily in Trans Baikalia.
Admiral Kolchak has relinquish-
ed his post in the Chinese eastern
railway directorate and accepted
command of the troops operating in
the Amur region. The fourth train
load of Gen Orloff's contingent de-
parted today TO support Gen. Kol-
makoff's expedition against Nikolsk.
What seemingly lends color TO
Gen. Seminoffs announcement of
expected Japanese support is an
order issued BY the railway authori-
ties prohi biting freight shipments
between Hardin and Chans-Chung
for eight days There also are ru-
n. ors that the railway has received
instructions TO prepare for the early
transportation OF a large force from
Chang Chung. Reports of Japa-
reese military movements are Ofti-
cially denied. but it is admitted that
definite operations by China and
Japan with allied cooperation are
imminent.
Public opinion generally well
comes the idea of Intervention, rec
ognizinc the necessity which throws
the burden upon Japan. Expressions
of regret have been heard, however,
that American troops will not take
part in the Intervention, as the
greatest confidence is reposed in
them.
