RAISE FEES FOR
 GAR REGISTRATION

Hartford, May 9-An average in crease of 50 per cent in automobile registration fees has been agreed upon by the legislative committee on finance and roads, bridges and rivers it was learned yesterday.
 Decision has been made to report bill changing the method Of com putting the fees by making a charge of s cents for each cubic inch of piS- ton displacement instead of the pres ent horsepower, and it is estimated that this will increase the annual revenue from motor vehicle reg1stra- SSon from S1,S00,0 900 to S3.OOO,OO
 The same bill will increase the reg t&ration fee for all motor trucks with solid rubber tires up to four tons, 100 per cent, trucks over" four tons, 15O per cent, and one-ton trucks and un- der with pneumatic tires, 50 per cent.
 Under another bill ito be reported by the finance committee, the proper ty tax on all motor vehicles would be paid to the state in the future in stead of to the several towns, to be taxed at a uniform rate of 25 mills. The state would then return 75 per cent of the proceeds to the towns and retain 25 per cent
 The primary purpose of the plan is to prevent evasion of the property tax, for figures on file in the motor vehicle department show that 33,000 cars escaped local taxation last year.
 The assessed valuation of motor ve- hicles upon which property taxes were paid last year was approximately $43, 100000 and the average value of each car was SASS. The average was as low as $6S a car in Norwalk. By applying uniform values fixed by the m otor vehicle department and tight ening the net, 1t Gs estimated that the valuation of assessed motor vehicles could be increased to about S66, ,000,- 900, which, at 25 mills, would bring in over $1, 1,500,0OO. The states DOT ton would amount to about $350, 0,00O after defraying the expenses of col lection.
 The 50 per cent. increase in regis tratfon fees was advanced as com promise at a public hearing held by the committees on finance and roads, bridges and rivers on bill which provided for an increase of about 100 per cent.
 The bill for a tax of 1 per cent. a gallon on gasoline provides that the revenue be collected from the whole sale gasoline dealers rather than from the retailers, thus eliminating consid- erable collection expense. There are about eighteen wholesale gasoline dealers doing business in Connecticut and they would be required to pay to the state direct l cent TOT every gallon sold by them. The returns would have to be made to the treas urer's office and so per cent. of it. approximately SS00,000 a year would be turned over to the highway department for road reconstruction and 20 per cent-about the proportion paid for gasoline for motor boats would be retained by the state.

IN THE WORLDS COUNCILS

Step by step the United States is resuming its rightful relation to other nations, and by accepting the invita- ton of the Allies to join in their con- ferences the Administration has taken long step toward ending the sense less and unsafe policy of isolation we have for some time pursued. It is es- sentia1 to the protection of our own interests, it is imposed upon us as duty, that we bear our part in planning the adjustments that nec- essariIy follow the war. President Harding pointed out both our duty and our interest in his address to Congress "Our obligations in effect ing European tranquility because of wars dnvolvements are no less i'm polling than our part in the war it. self. Moreover, these reparations must be wrought before the human procession can go onward again." Our participation was necessary, it was in evitable-
