way: 81 have boy Is years old who
is a good driver. Can't you make an
exception in his case" The secretary
of state, in following the law can only
reply that there are no exceptions
made and no child under 16 years Of
age can obtain an operators license
and legally drive after the law be-
comes effective.
Another misrepresentation seems to
be that only men will be licensed. No
distinction is made in the law, the
women being elibible the same as the
men.
There are now 74,189 motor vehicles
registered in the state department
from Detroit and Wayne. county.
The total number for the state is 262,-
start, more than onefourth of which,
125. 1t is estimated that there will! be
| probably 100000 licenses issued at the
on the basis of the number of cars,
must be handled through the Detroit
Office.
A new department will have to be
created in the secretary of states
Office to take care of this new license
requirement. This will be COMPARE
lively small, however, as more efficien-
cy and the greatest economy will be
inaugurated. The state department
thinks the initial licenses will net the
state about $25O,00O, after payment
of all expenses, including the added
force, for one year. \
The applicant must first secure an
application blank and fill it out COM
plete, signing it before a notary pub
lie. 1t is then presented to the chief
of police in cities and to the sheriff or
one of his deputies in rural commune
ties.
That officer examines the applicant
and if he "passes" the application is
approved in writing.
The applicant then forwards it with
the fee of so cents to the state depart
ment and he will promptly receive the
license by return mail. These licenses
are good as long as they are not re-
voked for violations of the law.
The application blanks provide for
personal description of the applicant
for Identification purposes and requires
direct answer to few questions re-
lative to the drivers asst record and
experience in operating car.
Persons registered as chauffeurs are
not required to have an operators IL
cense and cannot drive for hire under
one. They will continue to be licensed
as heretofore.
Persons having physical defects may
be licensed to drive certain cars with
which they are familiar and can han
die with cafety, that limitation to ap-
pear on the application and license
issued under it.

Chairman FOrdney Exposes Free.
Trade Methods

Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee recently exposed
the methods by which the railroad ad-
ministration has gone about it to null
lily, or modify the Tariff duties on
freight rates on imported merchan-
disc in transit from Pacific to Allan
tic coast points. The rates have been
lowered on many different imported
articles the most important of which
are china and glassware. No CORES
ponding reduction on similar articles
of domestic manufacture has been
made. AS most of the importations
are from Japan, it shows willing
ness, to use mild term to discrimi-
nate against domestic products as
against Japanese products.
When Mr.. Fordney applied to the
Director General of Railroads for IN
formation and explanation on the subj
iect he received an excuse. as old as
the ,human race. Adam excused him
self to the Almighty by saying: "The
woman which Thou gavest me temp
ted me and l did eat" Director
Hines, in effect, said: "The Japanese
importers tempted me and l did yield"
Had he said: "Get thee behind me,
Satan," he would better have shown
his patriotism and keener apprecia-
ton of sound economic policy.
The affair simply emphasizes the
fact that the sooner the railroads are
turned over to the management of the
owners, where they have belonged all
the while, the better it will he, not only
for the railroads but for the business
interests of the country. 1t is time
for the railroads to be managed by
those amenable to the law and respon-
sive as well as responsible to the pub
lie, instead of being responsible to an
individual now in voluntary exile. The
people of the country will breathe
easier when the administrative, as
we'll as the legislative, branch of sthe
Government is no longer in the hands
of theorists and amateurs and when
great enterprises upon which the pros
perity and perpetuity of the nation
depend are no longer managed by up
start Office clerks and wild-eyed WIS.,
ionaries, or the even less dangerous
ward politicians.-American Econo-
mist.

ALL AUTO DRIVERS MUST BE
LICENSED

1t is estimated by the state depart
ment that within year from August
IA, when the law requires every per-
son who drives an automobile to Sc
cure an operators license, there will
be approximately million such Ii
censes issued, says the st. Johns Re-
publican. Application blanks will be
ready for local officials by June Is.
Application forms may be obtained
from the chiefs of police in cities, or
from the sheriff, or county clerk. Many
inquiries are being received by the
state department daily about the re-
quirements of this law. One of the
most common questions is: ado owners
Of cars have to obtain operators icen-
ses for driving their own automo-
biles? ?" and the prompt reply is given
that every person, regardless of ow-
nership, who drives an automobile,
must have a license to do so after Aug.
ii.
Another common query is about the
age restriction. Some put It this

After having been in Jail several
days, held on a charge for which the
statute provides no penalty, three b.
hemian beet workers, from Durano,
were discharged at the order Of Judge
Collins Tuesday afternoon. The men
were sent over from Justice Patchell's
court in Durand, charged with tres
passing on a railroad right of way.
They had been bound over to the cir
cult court and committed to Jail in de-
fault of bonds. When the men arrived
at the Jail the officers there looked up
the statute and found that no penalty
was provided.

Hon. VIM. F. Smith, of st. Johns
more commonly and better known by
the majority of the residents of Cen
trail Michigan as plain "Bill," and Geo
G. Hunter, of Ovid, have formed a
law partnership under the firm name
of Smith & Hunter, with Offices at St.
Johns and Ovid. AS a member and
chairman of the newly created Public
Utilities Commission, Mr.. Smiths
time will be largely devoted to public
duties at Lansing, but will occupy
himself in his spare moments in con-
sultation and trial of cases in cour,.
Mr.. Hunter will devote two days a
week to his business at Ovid, spending
the balance Of the week in st. Johns.
This is a strong firm and doubtless
will command fair share of the law
practice in Clinton county.
