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.
