CAR FEE SYSTEM IS
QUITE COMPLICATED
Amount Collected for Various
Vehicles Is Not Uniform.
Confusion Caused by Widely Varying
Requirements for Registration or

ers and Dealers.

The amount of fees collected per
car for either pleasure or commercial
vehicles is as yet far from uniform and
is still further complicated by the
widely varying requirements for the
registration or licensing of chaffeurs,
owners, operators, dealers, etc. Thus,
if the total gross registration and
license revenues be used as basis Of
revenue, and the total automobile
trucks and vehicles as basis for
motorcars, it is found that for the
entire United States the average fee.
per car was $S.37. On the same basis.
the state of New Hampshire received
in 1918 a gross revenue of $20.52 for,
each motorcar, while Minnesota re-
ceived only about SITE annually for
each car, as the registration in that.
state is for three-year period.
In most states motorcars are taxed
as personal property in addition to.
the required registration fees. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New
York, North Dakota. Oklahoma, South.
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont
registration fees are in lieu of all other
taxes. Therefore, in making any COM
parsons in fees as between the several
states, this fact should be borne in
mind.

ELIMINATING BODY sQuEAKs
Thick Leather Straps or Washers,
Held in Position by Bolts, VIII
Stop Noise.

Motorcar frames are not at all rigid
under the distorting influences Of an ir~
regular road surface, whereas the body
work is very much less free to bend
and give. This gives rise to slight rub
bing at various places where the frame
is in contact with the body stills. and
since these points Of free contact are
not fabricated squeaks result. The
remedy is to insulate the body from
the frame with thick leather straps or
washers, so placed as to be held in POI
sition by the bolts securing the two.
In like manner the filler board used
with some types Of windshield to
make it conform with the outline Of
the car dash can be prevented from
squeaking by the insertion Of strip
Of leather or felt.

Isle could hide for any length of

an automobile in effecting the escape
is thoroughly in accord with the ac-
cepted bandit technique.
Carlisle must know all the cow
boy tricks and is undoubtedly first
class gunman. My acquaintance with
bandits has been extremely limited,
but my opinion is that bandit is
much safer in city like Chicago
than in Wyoming. Carlisle naturally
knows this as is indicated by the fact
that he went to Denver between
robberies in the earlier part of his
career.
"The fact that he Is known in
Denver might keep him away from
there now, however, and for a man
of his caliber, nothing would prob
ably appeal to his sense or humor so
much as to escape on a fast trans
continental train While sheriff's

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - The
Lodge concurrent resolution which
declares the war at an end, can and
will be vetoed by President Wilson
In case 1t is passed by both house and
senate, in the opinion OF high admin.
istration officials today. They cited
the constitution to prove that the
president has this power.
This came as an evident surprise
to supporters Of the Lodge resolution,
which was introduced in congress
just before adjournment. They be-
lieved the executive had no authority
to interfere with a concurrent reso-
luton and that the Lodge measure
could be passed by both houses, thus
ending the war without adoption of
the peace treaty. Discovery Of the
constitutional authority, which hith-
erto has seldom, II ever, been exer-
blow to their plans.
The administration supporters cited
article one, section seven, paragraph
three of the constitution, as their au-
thority. 1t reads as follows:
Every order, resolution or vote to
which the concurrence Of the senate
and house of representatives may be
necessary Except on question Of
adjournment) shall be presented to
the president OF the United States,
and before the same shall take effect
shall be approved by him or, being
disapproved by him, shall be re-
passed by two-thirds Of the senate
and the house Of representatives, ac-
cording to the rules and limitations
prescribed in case OF bill"
This, the administration contends,
gives Wilson authority
to veto the Lodge measure.
The president APPARENTLY is deter
mined to veto Lodges proposal, con-
fident that two-thirds vote cannot
be marshaled in congress to pass 1t
over his head. Thus he plans to pre-
vent the war being officially ended
until the peace treaty has been
adopted.
At Speaker Gillett's ONCE it was
stated that 1t was not customary to
send concurrent resolutions to the
president, but that in this case 1t un-
1oubtedly would be necessary under
he constitution. This opinion was
expressed after the constitutional
provision had been scanned. Before
hat, the impression was that 1t was
lot necessary to send such rest'lu-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Ratifica'
tion of the peace treaty appeared to-
day to be shaping itself into the big
issue of the 1920 presidential cleo
tion. Many prominent men Of both
parties here look for finish fight
before the country with the voters
deciding whether the United States
shall enter the league of nations and
if so with what reservarrons In this
struggle party lines may be broken
down.
Should the senate fail to ratify be-
fore the 1920 fight gets under way
there will be clear cut issue with
President Wilson possibly again
forced to take the stump in support
of the treaty, it was predicted.
President Wilson threw down the
gauntlet when he wrote to Senator
Hitchcock on the eve of the vote that
the Lodge reservations would nullify
the treaty. This change, according
to republican senators today, forced
the entire majority party to rally
around Lodge. This is the explana-
ton of the unbroken front which
Lodge put up during the battle in
the final hours of the extra session.
1t was known that mild reservation
ists'' on the republican side were
ready to support Hitchcock in certain
compromise proposals, but when the
president attacked Lo0ge all the re-
publicans resolved to stick with their
leader, although in some previous
stages of the fight they had opposed
him.
Indications today were that a bit
ter contest will start when the treaty
comes up again next session. BY It's
action in refusing to ratify, the SEN
ate wiped the slate clean and will
have to begin all over again. The
treaty will go to the foreign relations
committee first.
The crucial struggle will come
within the committee this time, ac
cording to present plans. The treaty
will not be reported out until reser-
vations have been agreed upon which
will meet the approval OF two-thirds
of the senate. Proceedings on the
senate floor will be cut and dried, it
is explained Within the committee
of the Johnson-Borah-
Moses Knox group will try to shelve
the pact. The real issue at the polls,
according to the outlook today will
be whether the treaty IS to be re-
ported out of the committee or per-
mitted to lie there forever. Candi-
dates will stand for one or the other
of these courses it was predicted and
the people must decide. Meanwhile
the nation faces months or tech

While coal miners and operators
debated in Washington on wage
scale, several sections of the country
particularly the middle west anG
southwest were facing an increasing
ly serious situation today as result
OF the fuel shortage.
Curtailment Of train service, aban.
donment of non-essential Industries,
rationing Of reserve supplies and re
establishment of ''lightless nights
were being reported in an effort to
conserve the diminishing coal supply.
In many places only few days re
serve remained. Above all was danger.
of a nationwide freight embargo, adj
mitted by Rail Director Hines to be
possibility. should the situation
slow no improvement within month.
Meanwhile, the proposal OF Cover
nor Harding, of Iowa. that the chief
executives of bituminous producing
states seize and operate the mines in
an effort to bring about normal pro-
duction was meeting with varied re-
sponses. Governor Cox. of Ohio, in a
message to the United Press, sup
ported Harding's plan, while Cover
nor Cornwell, of West Virginia, be-
lieved it would be playing into the
hands of the radicals and Governor
Sproul, of Pennsylvania, regarded
such action as unconstitutional.
IF the dispute affecting the min
ing industry is not settled soon it will
be necessary Tor governmental inter
ference, to take the shape of opera
tion of the mines," wired Harding.
1T would be far better for the fed
eral government to do it. but if it
does not, the responsibility falls to
the states"
Sproul merely declared Hardings
plan would be illegal and unconsti-
tuticnal."
Cornwell wired the United Press:
Il have wired Governor Harding
that in as much as comparatively few
mines in this state are Idle and pro-
duction is more than seventy-fye per
cent normal, no drastic action is
necessary here.
AS to my attitude regarding Cover
nor Harding's proposal the strike
should be declared unlawful by the
president and the federal court. A
vast majority of the miners of this
state accepted that decision in good
faith. Those who have refused to re
turn, if induced to do so by the states
seizing the mines and giving them a
sixty per cent increase, will strike
again IL the Washington conference
lails to make a similar award.
1T would be a step calculated to
encourage further direct action to
bring about naturalization of mines
demanded at the Cleveland confer
ence.
1 would favor closing non-essential
industries. conserving the coal sup
ply and fighting it out If 1t takes all
winter, rather than usurp authority
not rightly vested in the state.
Governor Harding's proposal would
probably be welcomed by the radical
leaders who planned the steel and
coal strikes and expected a general
