Three Days Left
To Pay Auto Fees

SACRAMENTO-Failure to pay
vehicle license fees by January
80 means double levies for Cali
fornias motorists, was the warn
ing issued today by department of
motor vehicles.
This means double payment of
the fee that is being charged at
the rate of SITS per $lOO valua-
ton of an automobile" says How
ard E. Deems, registrar of vehi-
cleS. And motorists must realize
that in many cases the 100 percent
penalty will amount tC heavy and
unnecessary expense on their
part"
California's new vehicle code
definitely sets January 80 as the
last day on which vehicle license
fees can be paid without 100 per
cent penalty. This means there
can be no period of grace this
year, warns Registrar Deems.

new DEALERS
MAKE REPLY
TO AL SMITH
Charges of Happy
Warrior Start
Battle

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.
UP)-New Dealers brought
out "the record" today, quot
ing former President Hoov-
er and Alfred e. Smith, in
reply to the latter's charges
Cf Socialism. Hoover was quoted
as accusing Smith of state Social
ist" in the 1928 presidential cam
paign, and the happy warrior as
telling a senate committee in 1893
that he favored a public works
dictator and shelving the consti-
tuition"
Smiths speech, one of the most
caustic assaults yet made on the
New Deal, rocked the capital as no
other political speech has in years.
He was wildly applauded by the $500
persons at the Liberty League dim
ner Saturday night.
First to reply-and point to the
records"-were Secretary of the IN
terror Harold L. Ickes, Sen. Alben
W. Barkley, D., KY. and Donald R.
Richberg, former head of NRA. They
accused Smith of repudiating the
policies he advocated in 1928.
To Make Reply
Sen. Joseph T. Robinson, D., Ark,
Smiths running mate in the 1923
presidential campaign, will make the
administration formal reply to
Smith in a On ,,1i,,i1to oJ1racc o,,ar

Reaction to Smiths speech was
mixed in the capital New Deal
Democrats generally were critical.
Republicans applauded. Both were
puzzled as to his campaign inten-
tionS.
His much-heralded speech was
more caustin than had been expect
ed, and his reputation of the New
Deal more emphatic than political
observers had anticipated. But he
left his future course in doubt.
Political Washington speculated
whether Smith intends actively to
campaign against the New Deal or
sanction a Jeffersonian or constitu-
tionai Democratic national conven-
ton to nominate an opposition
ticket.
His statement that he was born
in the Democratic party and expect
ed to die in it appeared to dispose of

probably next June in baby" bonds.
Fight Certain
A congressional light ior initiation
to pay the huge sum now due 3,518.-

ed States was believed certain. Ad-
ministration sources, however, have
indicated that additional taxation
would be necessary to meet the
bonus payments.
In this connection, it was pointed
out that this is a campaign year and
that political leaders hesitate to
offer proposals for new taxation at
present. At the same time, the ad-
ministration experts were known TO
be working on new tax proposals
necessitated by various readjust-
ments in the 1886 budget since the
