to carry a gun and now and then he will
have to use it or be worse than useless at

done better than the license bureau has been
doing. But vast number Of applicants
are still waiting for their plates. and they
may have to wait for n good many days. SO
it Is altogether idle to annoy and harass
drivers with 1920 plates as local authorities
here and there have been doing, apparently
under instructions from Harrisburg. The
work of issuing motor licenses ought to be
decentralizcd and the burden which annually
falls upon the State Highway Department
ought to be distributed through local ottices

MOTOR TAGS: AN OLD STORY

VJ'HERE was a hope in the State Highway
l. Department that all motor tags for 1927
could be issued by the first day of the year.
1t vanished partly because of an imperfect
organization and lack Of emergency faciri-
ties at Harrisburg and partly because of an
ancient weakness of human nature Most
motor owners waited till the last day Of
the old year and then overwhelmed the
Highway Department offices with money and
applications More than 100000 applica
tions were filed during the last few days Of
December.
