THREATENS TO SUE
THE CITY
Attorney Generals Department In
strueted by State Treasurer TO
Collect License Fees.

Under date Of November % the
state attorney generals department
notified City Clerk John Emunson
that the state treasurer had in
structed the department to institute
proceedings against the city of Hur-
ley for the states portion of license
fees paid over to the city treasurer.
However, the letter stated that OF
portunity to make remittance would
be given before action IS started.
Ten per cent of local soft drink
license fees goes to the state. accord
ing to the statute covering the
matter. The fee in Hurley is 500.
For every license issued $40 should
so to the state. The city has
neglected to pay the states portion.
which now covers four years and
amounts to several thousands Of
dollars. Hence the threatened
action bv the state department.
With the city flat as a pancake ia
q financial way there is slim chance
Of the state getting this money for
some time. No doubt the reason for
holding back the states portion Of
license moneys has been the city's
straitened financial condition in the
last few years. And the prospects
for the immediate future are rot
very bright. The city is 81 far in
debt that all the tax money collected
for this year will not come anywheres
near cleaning the slate.

Zimmerman Warns Automobile
License Applicants


Madison-"The Secretary Of State
isn't responsible for all the troubles
the auto license applicant is heir
to" said Fred R. Zimmerman,
Secretary of State, in speaking of
complaints Zone Of our inspectors
found a garage which had accepted
fifteen applications for licenses
many months ago, but had never sent
them to this department Probably
each of the fifteen applicants berat-
ed the secretary of state for care
lessness or negligence"
Mr. Zimmerman also spoke of
other similar cases, one a county
clerk who had accepted applications
but had failed to send them to the
secretary of state. Several humid
red applicants paid their fee twice,
because the first payment was
made to some one who pocketed the
money and disappeared
"The right thing for an applicant
to do Is to send the application and
money order himself, direct to the
secretary Of state. In the case Of
loss or error this kind Of an applca-
ton can be much more easily traced
than when payment is made to a
third party We find in this office
that most delays are due to errors Of
the applicants They fail TO rom
plete their address, often emitting
the name Of the post office and Civ
ing us only the rural route or street
number. They fail to give proper
description Of the vehicle, so that we
are unable to verify the weight"
Mr.. Zimmerman also said that
complaint is made because the rates
on many cars are higher now than
they were for 1924 He explained
/ that this is due to the fact that last
year the rates were based on shipping
weight. while the law requires that
they shall be based on road weight.
/ Schedules Of road weights were not
available until they were compiled
I by the secretary Of state The
( difference between shipping weight
and road is the weight Of batteries,
water. gas, oil and accessories.
The new rate books, which contain
practically all the information re-
auired by the licensee, are being
distributed as fast as they are re-
ceived from the printer Every
auto owner should refer TO a rate
book before sending his application
in order that he NAV be certain he i-
enclosing the correct fee. Errors
always cause delays.

made it impossible for our opponents to conceive any effective remedy for the condition of agriculture or for | unemployment and the other evils to which the workers of the cities are subjected"
 With reference 10 the proposed constitutional amendment which would empower congress to make measure effective over a judicial veto by re-enacting it, Senator La Toilette declared the only question at issue was whether the people were entitled to hvve such proposition submitted to them.
 '"The federal courts, particularly the supreme court, have declared unconstitutional or otherwise nulli. fled the most important legislation enacted by congress within the last few years,' said the senator, citing a number of decisions.
 "The judicial veto in practically all these cases has been leveled at progressive measures which enun- ciated a rule contrary to the econ- omic or political beliefs of ma jority of the men who happen to make up the supreme court. It is not merely the number of cases which the courts have nulified the acts of congress that is important. It is the fact that each one of these decisions has closed the door to similar progressive legislation in the future.
 Always these decisions of the court are on the side of the wealthy and powerful and against the poor and the weak when it is the policy of the law-making branch of the government to assist by enlightened and humanitarian legislation"
 Tidal Wave of Democracy
 Senator La Toilette concluded his prepared address with a declaration that tidal wave of democracy that knows no national boundaries is sweeping the world"
 Tt is today sweeping over the United States" he said, land when the fourth day of November dawns Ii will break to pieces the rotting. water-logged wrecks of the demo- cratic and republican parties. What will this mean? It will mean freedom and prosperity for the common people here in the United States. It will mean that we pro- gressives will be in position to use our influence to bring about a revision of the treaty of Versailles which now rests its dead hand upon the body of Europe. It will mean that we cooperate whole -heartndlv with the liberal governments of the world to outlaw war, to abolish con- scription, to reduce to a purely de- fensive basis naval. aerial and land armsments and to place in the hands of the people of every country the decision upon the declaration of war. It will mean the end of war and the dawn of peace for all the world"

GULF OF MEXICO ID
 BE BRIDGED BY AIR
Passenger and Mail Service Be,
 tween Mainland and Cuba

New Orleans Sept 19,-Air-
 plane passenger and mall service be-
 tween New Orleans and Cuba and
 Mexican Gulf ports as private
 enterprise is a subject of discussion
 here. with many predictions that it
 Is likely to become an accomplished
 fact in the not distant future,
 Suggested terminals would be
 Tampico, Mexico City via Vera Cruz,
 Merida, Yucatan via Progreso, and
 Havana. The type of seaplane be-
 lieved suitable for the lines-are
 cruisers such as are used between Florida and Cuba and the Bahamas
 but equipped with at least two
 motors-could make the hop from
 New Orleans to Tampico, 710 miles,
 in about nine hours. The 900 mile
 jump to Mexico City via Vera Cruz
 would require about 14 hours. The Yucatan run of $40 miles would consume about eight hours while the $50 miles to Havana could be cov- cred in approximately the same length Of time. One of the sug- gestions in connection with the Tam plco and Vera Cruz service involves
 a relay at Brownsville. Texas, with planes operating between New Or leans and Brownsville and Browns vile and the South.
 Postal officials are authority for the statement that approximately l,500 pounds of first class mail dis patched from New Orleans 10 Mexi- | can ports each week for which the government pays S2 cents a pound. | Incoming mail from much of the territory is transported free of charge by the steamship companies but it Is believed the United States and Mexican Governments would agree 10 pay S1.50 a pound for all first class mail handled by the planes should such a service be esta ablished. | The revenue derived therefrom, 1t is estimated, virtually would support a tri-weekly service.
 Establishment of regular air serv- ice to Mexico recently was the sub ject of a conference between A. V. Dye, American commercial attache at Mexico City, and George E. Mo- Leod, District Manager of the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce. Subsequently MT. Mcleod conferred with A. E. Pradillo, For eign Trade Secretary of the New Or leans Association of Commerce While it is understood nothing tangible resulted, it is declared the subject is in abeyance for only a short time and that the plans will be discussed more fully in the near future.

BOTH PARTIES
 ARE THE SAME
(Continued on Page Eleren)

seeking to avert similar fate in the present campaign by attempting to shift all the responsibility from the system that controls that party to a man who is now dead. This is perhaps the vilest piece of politi- cal strategy that has ever been at- tempted in the history of politicians.
 What G. O. P. Vote Means
 ''The question of personal hon esty is entirely aside from the main issue. Vote the republican ticket and you vote to enthrone the system that controls it for another four years Vote the democratic ticket and you vote to enthrone the same system with a different representa- tive in the White House. In either case you vote for four more years of government by the private monopoly system"
 Senator La Toilette declared 1t had taken years of betrayal and long line of shameful abuses on the part of the democratic and re- publican parties to convince the people that they must organize for political action outside both old parties in order to find relief from intolerable political and economic conditions"
 "The differences between our selves and our opponents" he con- tinued, "are fundamental and ir- reconcilable. On the political side the primary difference is this:
 "We stand for the maximum con- trol of government by the entire electorate in the interest of all the people and with special privileges to none.
 Our opponents stand for the maximum control of government by the few in the interest of favored classes to which special privileges are extended.
 'The progressives believe that the machinery of government should be so completely in the hands of the electorate that the deliberate popu- lar will may he reflected alike in the making of the laws and in their administration and execution.
 "Our opponents, hostile to self government, declare that this doc Urine is dangerous and revolution ary, and that the machinery of gov ernment must be of such character or so far removed from the people as to yield. if at all to the popular will, very slowly and after long delay. This difference in principle forms the basis of the issues of this campaign.
 "On the economic side the differ ences between the progresstves and their opponents are equally clear cut. We held as fundamental the proposition that productive labor whether it is of the hand or the brain, whether it is on the farm or in the city-is entitled to receive as nearly as possible the full value of the service which is performed We also hold that the prime motive of every form of industry should be service, with just compensation for all those who contribute to it's pro- motion. financing, management and operation.
 stand Of Opponents
 ''The position of our opponents, on the other hand, is that the pro- ducers in industry and agriculture shall receive the least practical portion of the product of their toll, and that the prime purpose of in- dustry should be the smassing of fhs largest possible profits for those favored few who control i-,dustry.
 Tt Is this philosophy whioh has
