1888 AUTOS
REGISTERED
Treasurer Louie Evers Has Issued 1888
Licenses to Auto Owners and Has
Collected $65, 4O6. 10 in Fees
ESTIMATED 1900 CARS IN COUNTY
All Money Collected is Sent to State
and All But Small Per Cent Returned
for Road and Bridge Work

Up until Friday morning of last week
Treasurer Louie Evers had issues 1888
automobile licenses to owners residing
in Crawford county, and had collected
in fees the sum of S65, 406.10. Each day
since then he has been issuing licenses
to the stragglers who are forced to pay
a penalty for not having attended to
the license before the first of the year.
1t was estimated that there were 1000
motor vehicles in Crawford county and
no doubt this figure will be reached,
and probably exceeded materially by
summer when people will be purchasing
the new cars.
Treasurer Evers 2eaved sigh of re-
lief on. the first day 1Gf the new year. at
ter the most strenuous period he has
ever put in at the court house. For
more than two weeks he was kept on
the Jump issuing new licenses and the
work assumed such proportions that
his Office force made up Of his deputy
and two young lady clerks were not
able to handle it so Auditor Portz, Re-
corder Cramer and Sheriff Greene We're
drafted into service and gave the Office
valuable assistance. Even then it was
necessary to work, nights until IL and
IL o'clock making out the reports to be
sent down to the auditor of state.
!, All Of the money collected is sent to
the auditor of state and all but very
small per cent of it is returned to the
county to be expended on road and
bridge work.

Party Allegiance

Springfield, Mass, Republican,: Mr..
Taft may not please Senators Borah,

others by saying that they do not rec.
ognize party allegiance at all, except
for purposes of Organization" But he
speaks close to the truth for the SEN
ators referred to cannot now be de-
pend upon to follow the regular party
leadership in congress in legislative
matters any more than in the days of
Mr.. Taft's own administration when
the party went to pieces. There never
was time when political principles so
little determined ones party affiliations.
Men like LaFollette, who is the best
living example, recognize the practical
necessity for personal Identification with
a party organization in order to stay in
high public office, but their, regularity"
stops right there. LaFollette and Taft
have no more in common after the
party label Is removed than Debs and

Can You Read and Writer"

The above is one of the most import
ant questions the census taker must
ask. There is much to make one think
that illiteracy has increased since the
last census was taken, when something
over per cent of illiterates was shown.
The number Of soldiers who could not
pass reading and writing tests must
have been much more than that,
IN Probably many foreigners claim to
the census taker to be able to read and
write when they can do SO only very
poorly. ~ St1 SCI sot32 10 tf,y. g.-,..
The real test of literacy is not wheth-
erya man can barely manage to, write
his name or read English in a stumbling
way. 1t is whether he can read and I'M
derstand English so easily that he can
assimilate American ideas. The census
takers could hardly have time to inves-
tigate the situation in this thorough
way. Hence the figures of illiteracy
that they collect should be regarded as
greatly undertaking the amount of this
kind of ignorance.

old settlers at Charlton, Lucas county,
tell about one that was lynched in that
town, his body being suspended from
a window in the old court house. But
a different crime has come to the sur
ACE in that section. Henry Gittinger,
of Charlton, says that Willis Adams
captured any number OF skunks and
'possums and had them locked in the
coal house, and was feeding them to
get them in prime condition for their
fur and oil. These cats became as do
cile as house cats and domesticate cas-
lily, and there is no danger of becoming
contaminated under these circurn-
stances. But what was his surprise and
chagrin to find one morning that some
culprit had broken the lock and made
off with all of these animals. and up to
this time he has not been able to trace
them. At present prices the hides of
the animals stolen would have brought
several hundred dollars. In days agone
it was regarded as Il gross insult to be
called skunk but in these latter days
it is a distinct compliment.

Runling Arranges for Refund to Own

Before Higher Manufacturers Price
THE OWNER MAY FILE A CLAIM
County Treasurer Required to Charge
State Schedule Fee, but Owner May
File Claim for Lower Rate

| A new ruling made by Secretary Of
State w. c. Ramsey this week, accord
! ing to information furnished by the
Iowa motor trades bureau, arranges for
a refund to persons whose automobiles
were purchased before the higher man
ufacturers' price listed in the state
book of schedules went into effect.
The motor vehicle law provides that
the registration fee be based upon the
manufacturers list price fixed at the
next even 500 and 40 cents per 100
pounds at the next even 100 pounds of
the vehicle fully equipped.
II has been necessary, however, FOR
the county treasurer to charge the zee
given in the book of schedules furnished
him by the state.
Many persons taking out licenses have
complained about this for the price CIV

price on their car at the time of its pur-
chase. The discrepancy is accounted
FOR by the fact that the prices and
weights in the book are based upon fig
ures furnished by the manufacturers

many Of the cars We're purchased 'earli-
er in the year before the prices went up.
Holding to the schedule has meant
the early purchaser was required TO pay
q higher registration fee than called for
by law.
Numerous complaints reaching the
state automobile department resulted in
the new arrangement for refund.
The county treasurer is still required
to charge the fee given in the state
schedule, but after paying the fee the
car owner may file claims for a lower
rate. He can make affidavit before
notary public that his machine was list
