Vast Amount Paid In License Fees
 By U. 5. Motorisf.

Passenger car and motor truck own CTS of the United States last year paid out the huge sum of S9S,720,S52 in H.. cense fees to the various states, ac- cording to compilations made by the B. k. Goodrich Rubber company.
 Approximately 90 per cent of this amount, or about sSS,S50.000, goes into the construction of good roads, high way authorities say. In other w0r-.e about 5000 miles of high grade hard surfaced highways could be built with the amount paid by the country's mo- torists.
 The 1920 total exceeds that of 1919 by more than B 1-3 per cent, the total in 1919 having been only $65,522, ,259. This large difference is accounted for by the larger number of machines now in use and also by the fact that many states have laid a heavier burden on the car owner by increasing the yearly fees.
 Striking an average for the entire country, each motorist paid in license fees about $10.50, the total number of machines as shown by the 1920 regis trations having been 9,295,252. In 1913, when 7,604.016 cars were registered, the average was less than $9.
 The largest amount paid to any one state was paid by New York motorists. the otal being ss.s1s1Os. Iowa had the second largest total, S7,4S7,S30. Penn sylvania was third with, s6,634,941; Ohio fourth with $6.500,00 and Cali fornia fifth with s5,520d19.
 Twentyfour states, or just half the total number, showed totals of $1,000,- 900 more. Nevada received from her 10,464 motorists only s103,307, hardly enough to pay for more than three miles of improved highway. Delawore, which ranks second from the bottom in the number. of cars owned, received S329,697.
 It is interesting to note that prac- tically all the southern sts tes showed large increases in the amount of fees received. This forecasts extensive progress in good road work in that sec tion during tho next few years. Many states in the South are supplementing the money received from license fees with substantial bond issues, thereby making even greater progress possible.

Says Most or Us Are Like Johnny And
 His Hobby Horse

A story told by Wallace D. Simmons, president of Simmons Hardware com pany, at a recent convention of hard ware leaders in Kansas City, is being repeated in many parts of the country because 1t so aptly illustrates one of the obstacles to revival of trade and prosperity. He was speaking of the question of a general rearransement of market values, as necessary to a revival of trade in normal volume He said:
 One trouble is that too many of us are like little Johnny on his, hobby horse.
 Two small s-brothers-receiye as Christmas present given to them Jointly. fine, large rocking horse, the saddle of which accommodated but one. While the novelty of the toy lasted both wanted to ride all the time and there was quite a constant dispute as to which should do so. The mother settled the matter by putting them both on together, one behind the other. and they rocked along in apparent peace and harmony while she stayed by and watched them. As soon however, as she went about her household duties after warning them that there should be no more arguments, Johnny, who was in the saddle while Willie sat be- hind with his arms around Johhny's neck, was heard to remark to Willie in what was intended to be persuasive and convincing tone, Willie, it seems to me that if one of us should get off I could ride better
 There are too many Johnnys today suggesting that everybody else should get down to earth while they are per mitted to ride on undisturbed upon a high horse"

tered shows lack of uniformity in the license laws. Iowa, for instance, which ranked second in the amount of license fees, ranks sixth in the number of cars owned. It has only two-thirds the number of cars of Ohio or Pennsylva- mia and 100000 less than California Florida received only half as much as Alabama although it has 4,000 more machines, the totals being s554.695 and $1,041,225 respectively.

She Says

The boy decided he would raise n
pig as his share in the agricultural
club. SO he got the pig. That was
the first step. All summer long he
cared for the pig. 1t was loads of
fun. 1t seemed just as if he could
see the pig growing bigger and fatter
each day. OF course it took more
than the Prescribed amount of fodder
for the pig to get that way but in due
season he was the pride of the neigh
borhood. Then the boy wrote a COM
position on the pig. And his COM
position ended thusly: Found that l

Freedom Of Speech
public Ledger

During the war many things were
done in this country in violation of
the constitutional guarantee of the
freedom of speech and of the press
and of the right of the people peace
ably to assemble" under the pretext
that the national safety required it.
Now that we are at peace, the police
power is being exercised in many in
stances in an arbitrary and unlawful
manner, to the deprivation of the
people of one of their fundamental
rights.
In New York City on Sunday eve
ming the police stopped a meeting
called to discuss the subject of birth
control and arrested two of the
speakers who attempted to address
the audience in spite of a prohibition
by the police. Whatever opinion may
be. held as to the morals or the ex-
pediency Of birth control, it is the in
contestable right of citizens to speak
for and agitate for the repeal or
amendment of laws directed against
the disseminat alton of information
bearing on that subject, or indeed
against any law. provided they do so
in an orderly manner, and provided
their agitation does not provoke
breach of the peace.
II the police are permitted at their
will % determine what subjects shall
be discussed in public there is no pro-
lection for any one in this most fun
damental liberty. If in the advocacy
of new laws or in the denunciation of
existing law the advocate transcends
a law there is a legal remedy; but it
will be a sorry day for America when
free speech is made subject to the
whim of a police official, or when the
right of assembly is to be denied on
any mere pretext that the subject for
discussion is unpopular.

1.-THE Great First Step"

The time was nearing / o'clock in
the afternoon Of yesterday. The place
was Washington. The scene, the
Conference on the Limitation of
Armament. The scholarly Balfour
had finished and the Unconditional and
impressive Baron kato had risen in
his place and said his brief say The
magic of Brands spoken word had
broken through it's cloak of alien
speech. Schanzer of Italy, had spok-
en-.
The grave and statesmanlike
Hughes rose and summed up the first
two days of the Conference.-The
American proposals, the reaction
from those proposals and the formal
replies that had just been given by
Balfour, Kato, BRAND and Schanzer.
The great first step has been TAKEN"
said Mr.. Hughes.
On Saturday the breath taking
reaching American proposals
were made. On Tuesday they were
accepted in spirit and in principle.
Taken together, these days and the
things that have come out of these
days constitute the great first step"
Spirit and principle" il not the
exact letter. 1t is the spirit, after ALL
that giveth life.
1t ayails not to sneer in the cynical
Washington manner, that these ac-
ceptances were lin principle" only. 1t
is great step forward that they
have been accepted in principle and
also in spirit. 1t avails greatly that
Baron kato should stand up before
the world in that white light that
beats upon the Conference and an
nounce that Japan is ready to pro-
coed with determination to a sweep
ing reduction in her naval arma-
ment." 1t is something to know that
Japan had never in view prepara-
tons for an offensive naval war"
1t greatly avails also that the tall,
white Balfour should have laid before
the bar of public the utter nakedness
and defenselessness of Great Britain
without the fleet that has been her
sure shield and buckler. 1T was vi
tai thing for world that wishes to
disarm that Great Britain should in
her turn urge that the submarine
duccd far more than. even America
| had proposed and that the U-boat
ought of right to be outlawed by ell
mankind.
And-it was a great step toward
| the SUNRISE when Balfour, hands
grasping his lapels. body bent for
| ward in his House Of Commons man
ner, stood at the head of the hollow
green square of the Conference table
and, facing the massed Asiatics at
| the rear. half cautiously, half -entbu-
siastically. wiped away those I'M
launched British fleets of the future.
1t was history when the calm. gray
Englishman and the diminutive kato
were pledging their acceptances in
principle and spirit" and were half
apologizing to the Conference and.
through the Conference. to the wide
world for the powerful navics of
Britain and Japan. The impression
deepens that the navies of the world
| are being tried for their very lives in

The Perfect Nurse

ATLANTA Constitution
Take an oceanful of energy,
A tablespoon of guile;
About a quart of innocence,
A little less of vile;
A pinch or two of naivete.
And a touch or so of verve;
A hamperful of courage.
And just twice as much of nerve;
A large amount of sweetness.
And a sprinkling of deceit:
And as much of human frailty
AS will make both ends just meet;
A brooklct of passion.
And riverful of love;
Tho wisdom of serpent
And the weakness of dove:
Take good big chunk of thoughtfui
ness,
The same amount of care;
And as large sense of humcr
AS the doctor says you dare;
A tiny bit of cussedness.
A good deal more of spice;
And just enough of goodness
SO as not to be too nice:
Now mix these all together,
For better or for worse:
Take a bucketful at bedtime
And you'll be perfect nurse.
