Secretary of State Would Base Charge
on Horsepower and Aid Fund
for Roads.
fii.TMPIA. Wash. Dec. 84. (Spe
cial ) L M. Howell, Secretary of State,
ha completed his biennial report to
Governor Hay. covering the period
from October 1. 1908, to September 30,
1910. In which he shows that the busi
ness of the office has greaUy Increased
during the past two years, the net in
crease from all sources of revenue
amounting to 8M02.60. This is a
gain of virtually 25 per cent.
The greatest sain in any one leaiurtr
a In money derived from the licens
ing of motor vehicles. In that depart
ment the revenues increased 14,562,
or more than 260 per cent. The reve
nue derived from corporation In
creased 174.488.60. or more than ll
per cent.
The Secretary advocates the sliding
scale for corporation licenses. Like
wise he wants the fee based upon the
capital stock. Such a law, be be
lieves, would prevent -wiiacamng.
During his term of office Secretary
Howell has waged an active campaign
tor the collection of automobile li
cense but he says the system In this
state of charging a 12 flat rate Is de
cidedly Unfair and he suggest that a
minimum fee be fixed for small
vehicle and that all other pay upon
the horee power basis. He points out
that a large number of mach-nea are
escaping the assessment rolls, but that
if tha department is permitted to re
quire that all are - licensed then a
check will be had upon automobiles
and the owners will be compelled to
contribute their legsl share to the pub
llo revenues. He recommends that
after the expense of collection is paid
the money be apportioned to the road
funds of the various counties In pro
portion to the total horsepower oper
ated and on which licenses are paid
on each, and he would also put all
fine for the violation of automobile
liw Into the state highway fund.
The weights and measures act, he
aays, is a dead letter in Washington
and he recommends that It be repealed
and a new statute put on the books
which will meet all conditions.
STOCKYARDS STILL AFIRE
Relief Committee Plans to Raise
$330,000 for Bereaved. . .
CHICAGO. Dec 24. The stockyards
fire. In which 24 lives were lost. Including
that of Chief Marshal James Horan, was
still unsubdued today. Flames continued
to shoot upward through thick clouds of
smoke tn the ruins of Morris & Com
pany's beef warehouses, but no additional
spread of the fire baa occurred and none
was expected. Dozens or stream of
water were being poured on the smold-
ering mass, and prohably will be for
some days to come. v
The relief committee to collect money
for the families of the firemen, have
fixed 1260,000 as the goal.- -
The number of dependents resulting
from the disaster Is about 100. If the
funds suffice therefor, the arrangements
for financial aid will provide with $1000
to each widow to be invested so that she
may enjoy the Income therefrom during
her lifetime, after which it will go to
t!je children or other dependents of the
dead firemen. For every child left
fatherless, the same sum is to be invest
ed, the principal to be paid when the
beneficiary has reached the age of 21
years.
Money for present needs will be given
st once, debts will be paid, and if any
fireman's home has a mortgage it will
be lifted so that hi family may begin
life anew without Interest burdens.
