two letters on behalf of the veterans
of the World War.
He addressed the first communism

in which he said that members of the

licensed by the state. Mr.. La Guardia
wrote that several instances of this
interference by the police had been re-
ported to him, and he asked that steps
be taken to see tina. former soldiers
were treated more considerably.
The aldermanic president said he had
always felt that men who served their
country in the World War were en-
titled to more than a mere license to
peddle. but that "conditions being as

Hibbing is in St. Louis County,
northern Minnesota, in the Mesaba

more iron has been mined than from
any other iron region in America. In
1912 more than half Of the iron ore

THE LEGISLATURE.

By the time this is read by a good many of our readers the session of the legislature will have passed into history.
 It has not been very brilliant ses- sion. The legislators will not be able to point with any great degree of pride to their achievements during this session.
 They started out with florish of trumpets and bade fair to make an enviable record in the matter of legislation, but they became entangl- ed in mass of local bills and gave all their time to the consideration of these minor bills.
 There was great talk of retrench- ment when the body met. It was claimed that there were too many useless offices and many of them would be abolished. It looks now as if the retrenchment program would be one grand farce.
 The members of the legislature do not seem to be able to determine just what is the best interests of the state. They don't have time; local bills oc- cupy too much attention to give them much time for constructive legisla- tion.
 A bill is pending in the body now to give the several counties of the state 70 per cent of the automobile taxes which they collect. It ought to all go to the counties, but 70 per cent will be so much more than we have been getting that it's passage would be hailed with joy and would go a great way toward rehabilitating the legislature in the eyes of the peo- pie.
 Then, there is the proposed tax of one cent gallon on gasoline. If all of this tax is to be retained by the counties in which it is collected auto owners and other users of gasoline would not kick on its being imposed. But if it is to go to the highway de- partment to be squandered in sala- ries and other ways except on the road, then the people have right to and will kick.
 But this legislature is no worse than those of other years or other states. It is only in isolated cases that men of high caliber are attracted to the halls of the legislature. It costs more to run for the office and serve during the term than they get out of it, but there are always a large number who are willing to

NEW AUTO LICENSES BASED ON
 ENGINES
Weight of Cars Also Figures in Fee
 That Owners Will Pay

Little Rock, March 11.-A road building fundr of approximately $1,- 000,000 of which $700 900 will be re- turned to the various county treas uries and $300,000 to the State High way Department is provided by the motor vehicle registration bill ap- proved by Governor McRae Wednes- day. Fees for the registration and licensing of vehicles are based on horsepower for each horsepower vision that no vehicle of more than six tons shall operate over public highways. The distribution fees is made retroactive to January 1 1921.
 For all automobiles used for pas senger service a fee of 25 cents per horsepower for ecah horsepower Sgenerated," and 25 cents per hun dred pounds based on the gross weight of the vehicle load is provided.
 For motor trucks equipped with pnuematic tires, the following annu- al fees are provided: For one ton or less, $15; for one and one half tons, SEQ; for two tons, S25; for two and one half tons. $36; for three tons, $50; for three and one-half tons, $65; for four tons, $50; for four and one-half tons, $1OO; for five tons, $125.
 The fee for trailers and semi-trail- CTS with pnuematic tires follows One ton or less, $10; two tons, S15; three tons, $35; four tons, $40; five tons, $50.
 The minimum fee for all automo- piles, trucks and trailers is fixed at $10. Registration of motorcycles is $5, and registration fees for motor- cycle side cars is $2.50.
 The bill abolishes the office of at torney for the State Highway De- partment, and confers the authority of the attorney upon the attorney generals office. An assistant is au- thorized in the office of the attorney general to care for this work at salary of $2,400 per year.
 The bill also reduces the assessors fee from 25c to 15 cents, on the ground that this work is largely repetition of that done by the col lector and is compromise on the total elimination of assessors fees.
