THE TAG SHOW GOES ON
The question of purchasing' autorno^

a comic show, marching first up the
hill and then down, with new orders

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
