A federal law on automobiles wnorc-( wnorc-( by a system of registration may bo iu- aiigiirated that "will permit o interstate inter-state truvcl is oao of the crying nceils of tlic fourin-i public: uccorilincr to X 1). .Anderson, general salc3 agent for tho United States Tire company -who is in Salt Xalio this week. Mr. An-KH An-KH dcrson travels a groat many miles B ovorv vcar in his car and says tlio Kfli failure of ono slato to recognize an- otlior's license number, except for a short snaco o a few days, is tlio MM canso or considerable annoyanco to tno M public, as well as expense. BflH "Take my word," said Mt. Andor- H son. "t livo in Connecticut, but my I business takes mo to Massachusetts about threo months out of tho year. The Massachusetts law gives mo ten davg in that elalo on my licenso and then 1 have to take out a Massachusetts Massachu-setts number. Here I get it again be-cause be-cause I am taxed for my car on the Massachusetts number and am compelled compell-ed to pay taxes on my car in both states, or a doublo tax. This is not right, and I don't thinlc it is constitutional, con-stitutional, but many motor car owners own-ers arc now compelled to pay up. "This automobile travel has become a wonderful thing," continued Mr. Anderson, An-derson, "and the federal govcrnrnont will have to tako charge of the interstate inter-state travel sooner or later. This of uoursc brings up federal aid. for those ,highwavs and I am glad to fico t automobile clubs of tho country working work-ing toward this end."
