({ , V , * i y 3 g HEWS LETTS! FROMSTATE DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS, O.—Ohio wifi be the gainer by more then, a million dollars through, the effectiveness of the "weigh slip method" introduced into the system of selling truck license plpte# in Ohip hy Secretary of State Clarence J, Brown, A check up on the sale of 1928 truck license plates shows that there has been a gain in revenue from truck licenses of from 15 to 20 percent through,the, efficiency of, this new system. In Cleveland a check was made of the first 4,000 trucks licensed in 1,928 which had also been licensed at the beginning of 1927, A comparison of the weights given and fees received in 1927 and 1928 an increase of 18,7 percent *or better than $29,500, addi lioha! revenue over that paid '■last year.,- With more than 200,000 trucks In Ohio and the gain averaging ffbout the same on the sale of all trucks,, it can readily be seen that the stab' apd local sub-divisions would gab .approximately one and one-half mil , lion, dollars revenue which has- here tofore been lost. However, it is thought that the average may pot b quite so high'in the rural countie:' where lighter trucks are - general}, used. That Secretary of State Clarenc J. Brown is a business man first ha, been plainly demonstrated by. ,th manner in which the Bureau of Motor Vehicles has been re-organized an by the way in,"whir-h proper busines methods have increased the State’; revenues so'amazingly. The saving- made through business-like adminis­ tration and the addition revenues col lected through efficient managemen will he near the million and one-rha! mark while at least another millio of new revenue is expected from the regular and usual increase in- tk- number of motor vehicles licensed. ■ - • * ,. ■*- * ■ .

Lowden for President? Dawes for President? The preliminary campaign' is noW: an for the Republican nomination for President. There will be candidates and favorite-son candidates. Ohio now ;ias one in the ^favorite-son class, ’’rank B. Willis. However all the Republicans do not 3eem to be for Willis, This week a new organization broke out-and are asking Herbert Hoover; Secretary of Interior, to allow the use of his name before the Republican Presidential primary. One o f the leading educators and ministers not only of the state but of the nation was first to sign the Hoov­ er petition in Ohio, Dr, W. O. Thomp­ son, former president of Ohio State! University and former Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, Thad H. Brown, former secretary of state, is the nominal head o f the Hoover movement, Next in line is kmgresgman Theodore Burton of Cleveland, Robert Taft, Cincinnati former speaker of the Chip House of Representatives is also one of the leading Hoover boosters iri Hamilton county, Meantime the Willis-DaUgherty Ohio crowd is throwing one fit after another. Open warfare is to be noted in Republican ranks for the next few Weeks. The Willis old-line politicians thought they had Ohio sawed Up and the Ohio delegation could be deliver­ ed to who ever tile bosses directed, Congressman Burtoh was one slated for the Wiilis “Big Four” but refused to stand by and be sold or traded, Burton did not like the chain gang method of making nominations and announced boldly that he would not support Willis but was for Hoover. Time only can forecast what the de­ velopment* will be in the next 80 days. reports as, to how' the men‘?escaped and the kind -of a car they drove. One report was that ft ted car was headed - north towards ' Jamestown hound 'for Dayton or Springfield. 1 Another was that ft green oar with ii- ports say a car of this ^ame inscrip­ tion was seen in Marion, 0 „ later in the day ana a hundred dollar bill wa* offered, a filling .station agent foi* gasoline. • The third report wae that the car the men escaped in was cream colored 'and left after circulating over,Wash­ ington streets for Cincinnati. How­ ever heavy roofing nailq were spread over the Columbus pike out of Wash­ ington. This may have.been done to mislead the authorities. > - The 'holdup is one of fhe boldest ever fulled in Ohio, and the bandits were able to get awaywith more than $50,000 in cash. , Late reports from detectives oper­ atingrfor hanks indicate dues have been >established that wifi lead to landing the guilty bandits.
