Caulfleld will no doubt sign it. The bill create a epartnient of not more than 115 patrolmen at a salary of not ex- ceedmg $1M)0 a year, ten capiain at salaries not to exceed $2400 a year and a superintendent at a D t tie Governor and the captains und patrolmen by the superintendent, who will maintain offices and headquarters In Jefferson City. Variolic estimates of the cost of maintaining the department have been made. These have ranged from $:t.ri0,ooo to as high as $700,000 a year. The costs are to be paid out of the highway funds. The principal duties of the patrolmen will be the policing of the state nllla'!'. the regulation of tralllc. the enforcement of laws relatinir to the size. Weight aiul speed of Colll- iiiei.ial motor vehicles and to co-opeiate with the Secietaty of State In the collection of motor vehicle regUiiatlon fees and with the State Oil Inspector In the collection of the gasoline tax. On Ihe sit lay the S.iiate passed the House Hill pulling trucks used as cnmincoi r acrid . II ll'IcT tin' Slipel isl'ill of I lie I'lildn Sei v Ice Commission The bill, nliirli Is regarded as one of the most Important measurescon--l.leie.l by the Legislature, now goes o Gov. Caiillleld, who recoin-mended such legislation in his message to the Genet at Assembly. The re Is little doubt ol' bis approval. Common cairieis that is. (rucks pointing ovel Ihe highways and hauling freight tor hiie- must pay a license lee in a. Mill. m to the usual registration lee. These range from $25 lor trucks of a capacity between 1'a and 2 tons to $500 for trucks of more than 9 tmi capacity. Following is the sc lie. clule: More than 1 unci not mote than 2 tons. $25; exceeding 2 and not mine than 3 tons. $65; our 3 and not mine than 4 tons. $100; in excess of 4 and not mole than 5 tons. $l:'i."i; more than 5 ami not more than 6 tons. $175: over IS and not more than 7 Ions. $225; more than 7 and not more than 8 tons. $275: more than S and not more than 9 tons. $350; over 9 tons. $500 Both these bills, con sidered by many among the most .important legislation before the Legislature, seemed destined to die with the adjournment of the Legislature, hut sonic how were revived at the last moment and enacted Into law. With these, together with the Income tax bill and the educational measures, the Legislature has not done so badly except in the Congressional redistricting measure, which Is so manifestly partisan and unfair thai scarcely anyone expects the Governor to sign It.

Caulfleld will no doubt sign it. The bill create a epartnient of not more than 115 patrolmen at a salary of not ex- ceedmg $1M)0 a year, ten capiain at salaries not to exceed $2400 a year and a superintendent at a D t tie Governor and the captains und patrolmen by the superintendent, who will maintain offices and headquarters In Jefferson City. Variolic estimates of the cost of maintaining the department have been made. These have ranged from $:t.ri0,ooo to as high as $700,000 a year. The costs are to be paid out of the highway funds. The principal duties of the patrolmen will be the policing of the state nllla'!'. the regulation of tralllc. the enforcement of laws relatinir to the size. Weight aiul speed of Colll- iiiei.ial motor vehicles and to co-opeiate with the Secietaty of State In the collection of motor vehicle regUiiatlon fees and with the State Oil Inspector In the collection of the gasoline tax. On Ihe sit lay the S.iiate passed the House Hill pulling trucks used as cnmincoi r acrid . II ll'IcT tin' Slipel isl'ill of I lie I'lildn Sei v Ice Commission The bill, nliirli Is regarded as one of the most Important measurescon--l.leie.l by the Legislature, now goes o Gov. Caiillleld, who recoin-mended such legislation in his message to the Genet at Assembly. The re Is little doubt ol' bis approval. Common cairieis that is. (rucks pointing ovel Ihe highways and hauling freight tor hiie- must pay a license lee in a. Mill. m to the usual registration lee. These range from $25 lor trucks of a capacity between 1'a and 2 tons to $500 for trucks of more than 9 tmi capacity. Following is the sc lie. clule: More than 1 unci not mote than 2 tons. $25; exceeding 2 and not mine than 3 tons. $65; our 3 and not mine than 4 tons. $100; in excess of 4 and not mole than 5 tons. $l:'i."i; more than 5 ami not more than 6 tons. $175: over IS and not more than 7 Ions. $225; more than 7 and not more than 8 tons. $275: more than S and not more than 9 tons. $350; over 9 tons. $500 Both these bills, con sidered by many among the most .important legislation before the Legislature, seemed destined to die with the adjournment of the Legislature, hut sonic how were revived at the last moment and enacted Into law. With these, together with the Income tax bill and the educational measures, the Legislature has not done so badly except in the Congressional redistricting measure, which Is so manifestly partisan and unfair thai scarcely anyone expects the Governor to sign It.
