Auto Licensing
Revenue Drops

Registrations Larger
A material falling off in motor ve
hicle license revenues under the re
vised scale as fixed by . the last leg
islature, which went into effect last
July 25, is revealed in the records of
etitu rno-iatrntinn hlire.Hl for
h p'timp elnr.sed since then. The
decrease will be more in evidence
after januarv 1, when licenses are
to j,e paid for the year 1930
in the period that has elapsed
since the reduced rate schedule came
into force the total income from mat
source has declined $42,242. or io.
per cent, in comparison with a year
ago: and this notwithstanding that
the number of registrations increas
ed by 15,258. or 22.3 per cent, above

ihp pnlpndnr ve.ir of 1929 are well
ahead of the like period in 192S, but
this is due to the fact that the great
bulk of automobile and truck licenses
Kvere renewed in the early part or tne
year at the same rates as in the pre-
ceding annum. Ihus tne enect 01
the lowered fees has been felt up to
the present time in only a minor de
gree. .
This number of licenses or all
kinds issued up to date for the cur-
rent year is 4G4.S74 as against 459,
S32 in the- same portion of 1928.
Revenue collected upon them was
$4,094,401 this year, compared with
$3,862,76.5 last year, in the corres-

more money will come ln,.miring tne
rest of the year to boost the aggre
knte to $4,200,000
But when motor
vehicle owner's pay their 19 30 fees
to county treasurers, tney win con
tribute a great deal less than before.
Even after allowing for the usual
increase per year in number of regis
trations it is altogether likely that
the fees for 1930 will fall a million
dollars below those for the present
year.
Should this expectation be realized
the state will be deprived of $30,000
for maintenance of its highways
while the various counties will lose
$700,000, taken altogether. The law
allots 30-per cent of such fees to
the state, and.. 70 per cent to the
counties.

RUSSIAN FLIERS ARE FETED
Chicago The four Russian fliers
circling the world in their dual-mo-
tored plane, Land of the Soviets,
made final prepartions Sunday to take
off Monday for Dearborn, Mich.,
where they will be feted by Henry
and Edsel Ford. Five hundred gal
lons of gasoline, one-third of the ca
pacity of the plate's. fuel tanks, were
put on boardf,iW he' afternoon and
the four soviet aviators intend to
leave Curtiss field between 6 and 7
o'clock in the morning.
They concluded a week-end of fes
tivities in Chicago, featured by a
mass meeting of more than 10,000
members of the friends of the soviet
union Sunday afternoon. There is a
possibility, according to L. G. Ger
shevich, of the aviation department
of the Antorg Trading corporation of
New York who has acted as spokes
man for the fliers since they left
Seattle, that the four S. A
Shet-
akov, Philip Bol6tov, Boris Sterligov
and Dmity Fufaev may ship their
plane to Moscom from, New York and
make the ocean crossing by steamer.
"It is as yet undecided whether
the men will attempt the trans-At-
lajitic flight." Gershevich said Sun
day.

in the wept had to walk home, but
we do not believe it. True they did
have some trouble with the work

driving and had to leave it at Kear

not have to walk home for they had
plenty of kale for their ride.

Washington As Wall street sus
tained Monday its second shock from
renewed price droppings in stock,
Washington officials, importuned for
expressions, confined themselves to
reiterating that underlying business
is sound. It was said that there was
no reason to vary President Hoo

subject and that nothing had changed
in the interim to give any different
view.
Performance in the security mar
ket was declared to be illustrating
again the length to which specula
tive panic can go. It was suggested
in a government quarter best inform
ed that the great sharpness of tha
price decline in the last few days va:
of iselt something of an indication
that the depression wcuid not be pro
longed even with reference to stock
maiket prices only.
The federal reserve board held a
routine meeting Monday, but. in so
far as could be learned, was not in
touch with New York, and there were
no indications that appeals of any
kind were made to Washington for
support of credit.
