OHIO IN AUTO
LICENSE WAR
Interstate Trucking Cause
of Fresh Dispute.

The interstate automobile license
war has broken out on new front,
Mark Rhoads, head of the Indiana
license bureau, reported today.
Last year hostilities were on the
Indiana-Kentucky border. This time
II is over on the Ohio line and the
fight is being launched by Ohio au-
thorities against Dearborn County
truckmen.
The 1927 Legislature passed a re-
ciprocity act which would require
double licenses only for trucks en-
gagged in interstate common carrier
business.
But what is common carrier?"
is the question.
The truckmen who have fallen IN
disfavor with the Ohioans deliver
milk to Cincinnati from Dearborn
and other Indiana counties. On the
return trip they transport lnerchan-
disc out of the city into thee county.
Having no regular routes, they
contend they are not in the COM
mon carrier class and refuse to pur-
chase Ohio licenses.

unite with you ia the celebration of that
great event in your history which not on.

which was spread abroad throughout

Your great historic revival began 10
prayer. This should cause all our Church

Throne of Grace That the same spiritual

Born in prayer, q great faith was de-
veloped which He Who said According

to answer. Therefore, the Holy Spirit
was nightly poured cut among you. Not
