MOTOR L|CENCE FEE
JUST AND EQUITABLE

The Iowa legislature did an ex-
cellent piece of work in chang
ing the law with relation to the Ii
cense fees of motor vehicles of all
sorts. 1t is estimated that under
the new law the annual income from
these motor vehicle license fees will
amount to between five and six mil
lion dollars a year.
Under the new law, which will
go into effect January /, 1920, own
ers of motor vehicles will pay Ii
cense fee based on the cost of the
vehicle and its weight. The rate
will be one percent of the original
cost, plus 40 cents for each 100
pounds the vehicle weighs. To illus
trate: Taking present prices, the
license fee for a Ford car will be Sc
one percent of the price, plus Sc
for weight, making a total OF S12.
The fee for Hudson will be $22,
plus $13.20 for weight, or a total
of $3.50. The fee for Cadillac
will be $33, plus $f6.40, a total of
$49.4O. The fee for a Pierce-Ar-
row will be $64, qlus $1S.40, total
OF sS2.40.
The fees on motor trucks are
graded according to ihe carrying
capacity A truck of one ton or
less capacity will pay fee of $15
whether equipped with pneumatic
tires, or solid rubber tires; but if
equipped with steel or hard tires
the fee will be $40 A truck of five
tons capacity equipped with pneu-
matte tires will pay $135; and if
equipped with solid rubber tires will
pay $145. There is a license fee for
trailers also, of $40 for one ton or
less capacity, running up to $500
for six ton capacity when equipped
with pneumatic tires and $40 when
equipped with solid rubber tires.
This is very sensible change in
the law, distributing the tax bur-
den as it does at least somewhat in
proportion to the degree in which
the vehicle wears out the road

LIGHTS OUT TO CON
SERVE THE FUEL

For the present the light plant is
closing down at midnight and re-
sumes operations at six o'clock in
the morning. This gives the con-
sumers light and power during the
day and early evening. The con-
dition is not pleasing to the man
agement but is done in order to
conserve coal. Unless we receive a
shipment Of freight in a few days
the company will be compelled to
make further reductions in service.
However with the present outlook
we may expect freight the last Of
the week and then we will all be
getting down to our regular rou-
tine of work with less nervousness.

THE Y. N. c. A. SPENT
ON WAR ACTIVITIES

The books of the Y. M. G. A. are
balanced and it was found they had
spent $97,S17,005 and still had for
future use $27,465,S54.
They say the Y M. c. A. distrib-
uted overseas $36,S32,449 worth Of
merchandise. OF this merchandise
$1,794,771 worth or approximately
5 percent, was given free to the
soldiers. Great Scott! what else
was this vast amount collected for
but for the boys at the front ahd for
their comfort?
Millions of us gave to this COM
fort fund for the boys, and now to
know that the Y. NJ. c.. A. had sold
their goods to the boys where the
soldiers had money to pay for them
and if the poor soldier did not have
the money to buy he would not get
the goods-even a cigarette
raises satan in our breast. Espe-
cially when we read their report
and see they have left S27,465,S54.

FARMERS RESPONSIBLE

The U. S. Senate passed the
house measure over the Presidents S
veto 81 to 10.
The repeal Of the law which now
takes it's place among the very few
which have been passed over a
presidential veto becomes effective
after the clocks are turned back to
Normal in October. 1t will go
down in history as one Of the very
few measures that have twice been
vetoed by a president and became
a law after all by a vote of more
than two thirds in both houses of
Congress. This shows what the
farmers can do if they will.

STOCKING THE STREAM
WITH LITTLE FISH

The Journal with the assistance
of representative Hon. Hal Mantz
of Audubon and Congressman Hon.
w. r. Green of Council Bluffs Sc
cured a consignment of thirty gall
Ions of small fish with which to
stock up the Nishna Botna river at
this point. They were delivered
here off the fish hatchery car, last
Friday and were placed in the deep
est water to be found this side of
that damnable dam at Lewis.
It is to be hoped that anglers
will do their best to protect these
fish for two years when there ought
to be pretty good fishing once
more i'm the Nishna. Throw back
the small ones and give them a
chance to grow.
1t will not be necessary then to
nail up notices that read. "This
is a government preserve; persons
found trespassing will be prosecut-
led according to law"

BOAR SELLS FOR TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS

A worlds record price for a hog
was made last Friday when William
E. Green, a Poland China breeder
of Algona, sold his herd boar, Evol-
ution, at his semi-annual sale for
$25, 200. The buyers were Harry
Uttenbogaad, R. G. Henry and
John Wegter Of Sheldon, Iowa.
The thirty one head sold for a
total of $40, ,955, making an average
Of over Sl,6ll. Breeders from all
over the swine growing region made
this the greatest sale that has been
held this year.
Evolution is one of the most
wonderful boars the growing world
has ever seen. Although not yet
two years old he has already re-
cord of sows bred to him selling at
an average Of $l,4l6. This, to-
gether with his extreme quality
and snowy type was instrumental
in causing him to bring the worlds
record price, Josephine l, last
year worlds grand champion SOW
and bred to Evolution, sold for
$4,000 to Dish and Oakland, of
Blairsburg, Iowa.
The Congregational Missionary
meeting was held at the Watterson
home Tuesday.
Bertha Minerman treated her
Sunday School class to picnic,
Monday.
Rapidly rising prices, over a long
| period, are most powerful revol-
utionary force. Their cumulative
effect is producing most startling
and dangerous results. They eff
feet favorably or unfavorably all
classes Of society. They make
some rich and others poor. They
make interest rates high, and the
price of bonds low, They breed
speculation and extravaganza and
class hatred that result in strikes,
riots, rebellions and wars.

ARE YOU ONE OF Them?

To Our Subscribers:
1t is some time since we have sent
out statements of subscription due
but so much is being said about the
high cost of living that we wonder
how much longer we can hold out
contribution. We thought when
the war was over that we would not
be called on to pay such exhorbitant
prices for clothing, groceries, mate
rial and labor and what we could
save over the then existing prices
we might be able to buy farm?
We trust that all who are indebt-
ed to the Journal will call at the
office or send in a check for which
we shall be grateful.

JOHN HE|KEN AND WIFE
SEEKING LOST SON

John r. Heiken and wife of
Gates, were in the city Saturday
consulting Congressman w. R.
Green who was here on a short Wis
it. They are asking Mr.. Green to
investigate the records in the war
department concerning their son,
John P. Heiken, who was reported
missing in action on July Is, 1918,
and the department has sent them
no further notice. They are of
course greatly concerned, and Mr..
Green has given them his assurance
that he will do whatever is in>his
power to do.
Private Heiken left Audubon in
the first contingent that left the
county, September 10, 1917.
After a short time at Camp Dodge
he was sent to Camp Pike, thence
to Camp Merritt and from there
overseas.
He was in Company B, 9th In
fantry, Second Division. John
SEWERS was in the same company
and saw him overseas. Sgt. Chris
Christensen of Brayton returned
home last Saturday and he re-
ports that another private told him
Heiken was wounded on July 18th
at the battle of Scissors and that
he died from his wounds while
being taken to the hospital. This
report is probably CORE ct, but the
war department has not given Mr.
and Mrs. Heiken the official notice
Private Heiken was about &c
years Of age and was we'll known to
many of our people. The parents
have the sympathy of the people o.

You needen't slip your clothes in a

And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-

For there's nothing that's really

It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men

Lest somebody else get ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the

Your neighbors can make one, too, ],
Your town will be what you want to
see,
