HAITIAN ELECTION
BLOCKED BY BORNO
Council Adjourned, President
Says, to Prevent ThWarting
of U. S. Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORT-AU-PRINCE Haiti, April IL
ELECTION of new Haitian President
which the Hoover investigating commit
tee, leaving a few weeks ago, arranged
to take place today, was, through the
action of the incumbent chief executive,
President Borno, postponed indefinitely
Pleading that his action was to pre-
vent election of some one else rather
than Eugene Roy, whom the Hoover
committee arranged would succeed M
Borno, the President adjourned the
council of state, In which the elective
power is vested.
But If the adjournment prevented
election of an opponent, probably Gen.
Emanuel TheZan, who has powerful
peasant following, it also prevented
election of Roy. President Borno was
warned Friday by the American State
Department that no one other than Roy
would be recognized as temporary PreSl-
dent.
In Government quarters 1t was indl-
Gated that the action was taken as q
result of reliable reports that majority
of the council of 81 planned to go back
on their agreement to support the new
government plan given Haiti by the
Hoover commission. 1t was SAID the
President preferred to put of the cleo
ton Of Roy rather than to force the
issue in the 1uncil, which recently has
become FESTIVE under his control.
AS the situation now stands, President
Borno constitutionally will be out OF
office May Is, when his term ends, and
his successor must be elected before that
je+a II the rresent council continues
recalcitrant, he can appoint enough
new members to assure Roy's election.

FEB. 10 LAST DAY
To GET AUTO TAGS

If you have not already applied fcr
your 1880 auto license plates, you hao
better do so soon. A highway bui-
letin reminds us that February Is is
the last date upon which application
may be made without penalty. TIE
penalty Is 25 cents per day for Ten
days, and $1.00 per mouth thereafter.
To some the tax may seem high.
But the bulletin points out that in
Minnesota the license fee is in lieu of
the personal property tax. In thirty
five other states car owners pay per-
sonal property tax in addition 10 the
license tax Besides this, car owners
in many cities pay wheelage tax
In Chicago the wheelage tax is ap-
proximately equal to the state license
tax.
Furthermore, the bulletin says, the
license fee, or good roads tax" is noc
nearly as large as the bad roads tax"
Before Minnesota had the trunk high
way system with its good roads tax"
the annual bad roals tax was mucn
larger than at present. Usually every
dollar paid for good roads tax" cuts
off about three dollars of the "bac
roads tax"
But the bad roads tax" has not yet
been done away with. Some motor
car owners pay this tax in big chunks
when they get stuck in DOGGY road
Turing the spring breakup. Very often
the cost of being pulled out of bac
stretch of road, or the damage done
the car in trying to negotiate such
road, is several times as great as the
good roads tax.
Those who escape the heavy toll
levied by impossible roads, however,
do not escape the bad roads tax"
They pay it in small driblets every.
time they go over an earth or gravei
road which, due to heavy traffic, is
rough, rutty, washboardy or covered
with loose material or dust. They pay
it in the form of gasoline bills, tire
bills, repair bills, lost time, laundry
bills and in various other ways.
Your license tax is not spent on the
local roads, you may say. The bull
letin points out, however that the
trunk highway plan, by relieving the
counties AMI townships of the upkeep
of the main roads, has made it pos
sible for them to spend all their funds
on secondary routes More miles OF
county and town roads have been
graveled or otherwise improved in the
last nine years than in the whole pre-
vious history of the state.
So, by paying your auto tax before
February Is. you are not only avoid
ing the penalty, but you are helping
to take big slice of the annual "bad
road tax"
