Many automobile owners are of the opinion that the law increasing the Jlcense on motor vehicles is included and made a part of the 16.000.000 road bond bilL In this they are wrong. The automobile license was doubled in the motor vehicle law which was euacted by the last Legislature. It is now a law. lhe increased automobile license will be in effect and will be collected regardless of whether or not tbe road bond bill is approved by the voters at tbe June election. Kurt lu r mu re, the motor vehicle law contaitia a provision that the money raised from automobile licenses shall be available for road construction uu- der tbe plan outlined in the $6,000,000 road bond bill if tbe bond bill carries, In other words, if the road bond bill la defeated, the automobile license money may be used for other purposes, I f the road bonds are approved, the automobile owner bus the positive as surance that the money derived from tbe increased automobile licenses will he expended in building good roads. Remember this: The automobile owner will have to pay the increased license any way, regardless of the fate ut the $6,000,000 road bond bill. A vote for the road bond bill by the automobile owner is a vote for the expenditure of tfie automobile license money, which has to be paid anyway, in building u system of state-wide per manent highways as outlined in the road bond bill. In voting for the road bond bill, the automobile owner will simply pave the way for the expenditure of license money that he will be required to pay, in building serviceable hard-surfui ■ d roads in all sections of the state. Every automobile owner Is directly and personally Interested In the road bond bill. In voting for that measure be will merely be asking that the money he will be required to pay any way shall be spent in building roads. The uutomoblle owner has everything to gain and nothing to lost' by voting for the road bonds. PROFESSIONAL CARDS H* Was Grateful.
