THE TAG SHOW GOES ON The question of purchasing' autorno^ bile license tags as provided 'by law has converted itself into somewhat of a comic show, marching first up the hill and then down, with new orders emulating out of the capitol where the governor’s civil office has been turned by force into a military office. he and others will introduce a $3 tag bill at the next session of the legis lature complying with Governor John ston’s wishes. He has stated that the bill will duplicate that of last year as passed by the house. That bill was introduce jointly by three mem bers, Representative Phil D. Huff (xf this county being one of the au thors, and provided for a flat ratejof three dollars* for all licenses for prU vate cars, a proposal that is both un- faicjand unsound."i-Why did Mr. Huff and those who sponsored the bill with him, land on a three dollar fee ? Were they imitating Talmadge of Georgia? Why didn’t they show some originali ty and make it two dollars, or one? Or better still, reecind all tag licenses and make ’em free as champions of Joe Calus (the Belgian boss) under ***<1 oppressed?
