NEW AUTO LICENSE
TO Be MORE COSTLY

All owners of motor vehicles in the
state are receiving application blanks
from the secretary OF state for their
1920 registration and license. Cars
carrying 1919 licenses are required by
law to display the new years Incense
plates on and after January Z. 1890,
and vehicle owners are being urged
by both county and state officers to
file their applications early to avoid
congestion and possible difficulty to
themselves.
A new scale of charges is placed in
effect for 1920, which makes the au-
toist's license considerably more cost
ly. The Legislature, in setting this new
schedule, had in mind the diversion
of more money to the state road fund
and it is to that end that the excess
over the present year will go.
The l.w requires that licenses
bought between January l and July
l. 1920, shall pay the license for one
full year. After July l, the license
fee is one-half. and after October 1,
one-fourth. that for the year.
Should Have Blanks.
Persons having cars with 1919 IL
censes are supposed to have received
application blanks by this time. Those
who have received none are advised
10 request blanks from the automobile
department., secretary of state, at
once.
The new registration fees are as
