Road Patrol Is
Cracking Down
On Bad Drivers
License Directors Report
Explodes Myth of Woman
Being Worst Driver.

In a report handed in to N. w.
Elsberg, state highway commissioner,
by Gil Carmichael, license division
director, recently it is seen that
November was the second highest
month in total revocations in the his
tory of the department. One hun
dred sixty-three drivers licenses
were taken away.
Interesting details of the report
were that of the 1853 revocations, 157
were for drunken driving, and that
only three women lost their licenses.
Suspensions also favored the women,
and showed that only two were or
dered out of total of 70 for the
month. Total suspensions for the
month of November, 1886, were So.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
were the leading counties in revoca-
tons, with "a in Hennepin county,
26 in st. Louis and Is in Ramsey.
The next highest was Ottertail, with
five. One foreign license was re-
voked. The same counties also lead
in the totals for the year 1887, to
November 80, with Hennepin having
292, Ramsey 203 and st. Louis, 178;
Mower was next with 80. Of the
remaining counties, there were only
four that had no revocations at all.
They were Clearwater, Hubbard,
Murray and Red Lake.
Only IL Women at Fault.
Comparatively, the largest group to
have their licenses taken away were
motorists between the ages of Is and
80, in which group 211 drivers lost
their permits. But the largest, figur-
atively speaking, were those between
40 and So, with 293 licenses revoked.
And, although the total was not large,
taking into consideration the small
percentage of drivers in the class
between Is and 20, the SIS revoca-
tons in this class indicate a high
percentage of carelessness in drivers
of that age.
Revelations for the year to Novem-
Der 80, totaled 1905, and of this, 1880
were for drunken driving. And here
figures explode the myth which con-
tends that women are less capable
drivers than men, for during the
same period this year, only IL women
have lost their licenses.
Suspensions for the year, to date,
totaled GIG. Of these, 389 were for
reckless driving, IS for unsatisfied
judgment, 70 for financial response
bility and 40 for incompetency. The
rest were for minor violations. Again
the class between Is and 20 ran high,
being second with 1873. First were
those between 20 and Is, with 1856
of their licenses suspended.

POPLARVILLE, Miss, May 20
United States Senator Theo G. Bilbos
contested suit for divorce from his ex-
school teacher wife came before the
State Supreme Court today for rul-
ing on where the case should be tried.
The volatile Mississippian brought
suit here in the District Court en-
bracing Pearl River County. His
dream house"-with that legend
woven prominently in the doormat-
was offered by Bilbo before Chancellor
Ben Stevens as concrete evidence Of
his legal residence here
Mrs. Linda Bilbo, through counsel,
contended her husband established
residence in jackson, Kinds County,
In 1923. She argued the suit properly
should have been brought in that
Jurisdiction.
Asserting the legal point involved
was a close one, Chancellor Stevens
ruled he had jurisdiction to try the
action here, then Immediately granted
defense counsel an appeal to the
Supreme Court for final decision.
Opposing counsel have told in pre-
liminary forays long story of
domestic turbulence.
Senator Bilbo, former Governor
often in the limelight charged that
he had undergone "habitual, cruel and
inhuman" treatment by his estranged
wife. They were married "a years
ago.

officials announced that the pro-
posed sales tax would be applied at
the source and that there was no in
tention of making use of tokens as a
means of collecting the tax since such
a plan involves too much nuisance"
Seal announced it would be necessary
for the Commissioners to adopt de-
tailed regulations for the sales tax
operation if the program is adopted
by Congress.
Seal, Keech and West set to work
today to draft the proposed sales tax
bill. 1t is to be presented to the
Commissioners, along with the earlier
elements Of the program, as soon as
possible, for final official recommends
ton to Congress from the city heads.
Hazen said the Commissioners had
not finally dropped the idea of
business franchise tax for the District,
but that this was to be laid aside for
the time being, if Congress approved
the proposed emergency" program.
He said it was likely the Commits
sioners would employ tax experts to
draft permanent tax program after
a survey of the entire existing revenue
laws, If Congress agreed to the pro-
posal. He stated that such a survey
would involve an appraisal of the
present real estate tax assessments
and levies.
Weight Tax Submitted.
The proposed weight tax on auto
mobiles already has been laid before
the House District Subcommittee
which is headed by Representative
Kennedy, Democrat, of Maryland
This bill proposes lower rates than
those in the weight tax bill offered by
Representative Collins of Mississippi,
the chairman of the District Sobcom-
mlttee of the House Appropriations
Committee. The Commissioners, how
ever, propose that the Districts per-

sonal property levy on automobiles be
retained.
Under the Commissioners weight tax
bill the levy on passenger automobiles
weighing less than $500 pounds would
be IS. Officials say IS per cent OF the
private passenger cars are in this
class. Cars weighing between $500
and $500 pounds would be assessed
So, and cars weighing more than
4,500 pounds would be assessed $l2.
On commercial vehicles the Com
missioners' weight tax bill would place
a levy of SIS on vehicles weighing
1000 pounds or less, $40 on cars
weighing between 1000 and 1000
pounds, S35 on vehicles from 1000
to 5000 pounds, $50 on vehicles
weighing from 5000 to 5000; SOS
on vehicles from 5000 to 10000
pounds. SIS on vehicles from 10000

posal for 1-cent increase in the
gasoline tax, from 2 to 3 cents a
gallon, to produce an additional ST.
100000 in revenue, this to go into the
gasoline tax fund and be spent for
highway Improvements. Just what
would be meant by highway improve
ments, however, is dependent on &C
ton on the 1888 District budget for
the bill now contains proposals for
transferring some of the expenses of
the Traffic Department and all Of the
expense of the Department of Trees
and Parkings to the gasoline tax
fund.
If the plans of the Commissioners
are approved by Congress, therefore,
it is calculated that s8,60O,000 in ad-
ditional revenues would be collected
during the next fiscal year.
Only a rough outline of their five
point program was released yesterday
by the Commissioners, following
conference of nearly three hours with
their Tax Committee, headed by Dis
trict Auditor Daniel J. Donovan.
The emergency" program was
adopted because Of the short time re-
naming between now and the end of
the present fiscal year, June 80.
Fears were voiced that unless agree
ment was reached soon on the new
tax program the Commissioners might
be forced to make a heavy boost in the
realty tax rate in order to prevent
deficit in the budget before the end of
the next fiscal year.
recommendations for adoption of a
2 per cent sales tax. as ma jor portion
OF the emergency program, were laid
before the Commissioners by members
of their Tax Committee, which in

FRENCH PROTEST
ITALIAN ATTACKS
Objections Are Voiced to
Bitter Criticism in Con.
troIed Press.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Nov. 27.-France protested
to Italy today against Italian press
attacks.
Alexis Leger, secretary-ge general OF the
foreign Office, called Renato Pranas,
Italian charge d'affaires, to the Quai
d'Orsay and objected to bitter criti-
cisms Of France by the government
controlled press in Italy.
The incident arose over a supposed
speech by Cesar Campinchi, French
minister OF the navy, in which he was
alleged to have declared that Corsica
was bound firmly to France and would
be ready to defend itself against Italy.
Campinchi denied making the speech.
A foreign office spokesman said
Pranas promised he would refer the
matter to his home government and
bring reply in two or three days.
The spokesman called the Italian
press outburst IAN evil quarrel" which
injected a new element Of discord at
a moment when France and Great
Britain were making a new effort for
European reconciliation.
