WE ALWAYS FAVORED IT. At a meeting of the Ohio Good Roads Federation Council held in Col- nmbueit was decided to atk the legis­ lature to change the present auto license law fo r the horse power plan. The auto under this plan will not be iubjeot to the personal property tax but the lowest license fee will be $11 under the new plan instead of $5 a t present.' Motor trucks will b t sub­ ject to a tax or license of $15 a horse­ power. up to five, over five$11 a horse powsr. The new plan will work on a more equitable basis as our roads are being worn out as fast as officials can build them and the heavier-machine* must pay a heavier license fee than the lighter machines. There has never been a uniform rule for the valua­ tion of automobiles for taxation and the proposed plan will do away with the haphazard valuation. The old and the new machine will pay the tax as a license. We ha te always favored the horse­ power plan apd such a law was intro­ duced in t)$ legislature when Gov. 4$ox first. executive but the au­ ction* 'in the big eities fbught lR£$gan and it was dropped, now tiSs aisieriation* have taken up the plan to provide g r e e t s .revenue* for read purposes, all the license mon­ ey to be need for road improvement. Columbus, Dec. 14.—Mr. Charles C Marshall, speaking for the commis- sion, of which he la chairman, says; /'The public utility companies are facing a difficult proposition.

WIN E BUREAU Increased Cest Would Greatly Lessen the Present Wasteful Use of Natural Ga». The United States Bureau-of Mines, In Technical Paper No. %t, says; "A great many cities have tried to lower the gas rates when, as a mat­ ter of fact, they ' should have In­ creased them to insure the highest efficiency and prolong the Service for yeafs. Whatever may be th* opinion of the general public In the matter, It is a fact that the rates charged by public utility corporations for natural gas are, in most cases, too low rather than too high; and that th* most ef­ ficient regulation can'be Successfully accomplished only by raising rates to such a point that consumers will not waste gas.” .
