MoToRTRUcK FEES DIFFER
No General Understanding Through
out the Country as to Rate
to Be Paid.

At the beginning of 1910 there were
still % states in which motortrucks
were registered at the same rate as
pleasure cars. Recent years, however,
have shown quite a general tendency
to increase the fees required for heavy
motortrucks. This increase usually is
based on the weight of the truck, its
carrying capacity, or a combination Of
its carrying capacity and its horse
power. However, there is as yet no
evidence Of any well-defined general
goal toward which this movement is
tending. Some states are placing a
definite maximum weight which may
not be exceeded except in very special
cases; others are evidently relying on
discouraging or limiting the use of
very heavy trucks by making the regis
tration fees sc large as to practically
prevent the realization of any profit
while still other states are making no
serious efforts except to limit the
weight of the wheel loads per inch
width Of tire. The terms motortruck
and commercial vehicle, moreover, are
very definite. In some states the term
commercial vehicle as used includes
all trucks, while in others only those
vehicles used for hire are classed as
commercial.

considerably more than is the cost
of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer
castings of tires have been made up
of a combination of woven canvas fab
ric and hard rubber. During the
past five years there has come onto
the market a new type of casing
known as the cord" tire, which is
rapidly gaining favor with motorists,
as they claim 1t is longer lived than
is the canvas fabric casing. In this
new tire, instead of using a woven
canvas fabric as a foundation, there
is used a series of strong cotton cords
or string. The claim Is that these
cords will not break as readily under
the varying strains of country road
usage as will the woven fabric. If
