NO CARS EXEMPTED
FROM AUTO TAXES
Attorney General Explains
New Law at Request
of Sheriff.
That it is the duty of owners
of automobiles to obtain li-j
cense for their cars, regardless'
of whether they are in opera
tion, was the opinion rendered'
yesterday by Attorney Gener-j
al Utley in response to a ques-i
tion asked by D. B. Bartlett, <
sheriff of Johnson county,1
through the Commissioner of
the Highway Department.
Under the new law the car
must be registered and license
applied for within 10 days
after the first of January 1921,
or within 10 days after the
purchase of the car. The pen
alty is $3 for each 10 days
after the expiration of the 10
days of grace. Provision is
made however, that the penal
ty cannot exceed the cost of the
license.
Operation Not Considered.
In his official opinion the at
torney general said:

! tion 10 of Act No. 494 of 1921,
| which is the law that your in
. quirer desires interpreted,
specifically refers to the owner
of a car and is the opinion of
this office that as soon as one
becomes the owner of a car
intended for use on the high
ways of the state as provided
in Section 1 of the act, he has
only 10 days in which to pro
cure his license without penal
ty, or if he owns the car on
January 1, then he has only un
til January 10 to procure his
license without penalty.
“If an owner applies for li
cense after the expiration of
his 10 days of grace, then the
sheriff is required to collect
the penalty provided by law,
whether the owner has elected
to run his car in the meantime
or not.”
Mr. Utley said yesterday
that in his opinion the penalty
and requirements for license
would obtain as long as the
car was capable of being run,
and that there could be no
evasion. If a car owner
should remove the engine from
his car simply for the purpose
of making it incapable of lo
comotion, he still would be
, liable under the law for the
penalties and license fees. If
he should sell the engine from
the car, however, it would not
then be an automobile in the ;
meaning of the law and
would not have to be licensed.
The entire amount of the pen
alties will go to the counties
in which they are collected.
First Dealer’s Report.
The first monthly report by
an automobile dealer of cars
sold during the month was re
ceived in the automobile sec
tion of the Highway Depart
ment yesterday from the St.
Francis Motor Co. of Marianna.
The company reported 11
Ford cars sold during April;1
I seven touring cars, a sedan, a
coupe and two roadsters, nine
of them being sold in Marian
na. The new auto law re
quires each dealer to make a
monthly report of his sales.
However, as the act was not
signed until March 29, no re
ports were required for months
prior to April.—Arkansas Ga
zette, May, 5.

POWER FARMING WITH THE FORDSON
The Fordson TractoT is taking care of every job; it is taking the
drudgery out of farm work and solving the labor problem. Power
farming with the Fordson reduces the cost of preparing land to almost
one half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to a half of
the farmer’s time. What machinery does for the factory, the Ford
son Tractor is accomplishing on the farm—it is increasing production
at lower costs and making farm life attractive.
Apply this power farming
idea in your threshing. More
and more farmers are making
themselves independent of un
favorable conditions by*-using
the Fordson tractor linked up
with a light thresher. By
seizing the right moment and
being able to do the job with
out waiting and in quick time,
crop lossess are avoided and
profits increased.
The Fordson operates with
kerosene. When used on belt
work, running at full power at
1,000 R. P. M., the fuel con
sumption does not exceed 2%
gallons per hour. It will run
the electric light plant, operte
the milking machines and
straw baler—will take care of
every care of every kind of
belt work.
The Fordson plows 6 to 8
acres in a 10-hour day, hand
ling two plows with ease in
the average soil. It requires
an average of only IV2 to 2
gallons of kerosene to the
acre.
It is the ideal year-round
tractor. It will pay for its
fall and winter keep in many
ways such as road work, haul
ing grain to the elevator
pumping water and moving ,
granaries.
