HIGH TIDE MOTORITS PAY UP THE EXTRA CAR TAX FOR '20 Many Delinquents Send in Their Fees the Past Week—ATl See Justice of Tax ■piE STAR has bpi informed that a great number of the delinquent motorists who hesitated to pay the additional tax under the new act to the Newfoundland Road Commission are now responding, and within the past few days quite a number of those whose attitude was somewhat hostile to the new act have sent in their tax. This is very commendable and shows good sound reasoning on the part of the motorists, as it would be useless to attempt to evade paying the adcKtional tax under the new act respecting the maintenance of our public highways. Even if the road commission were to refrain from taking legal proceedings, all motorists would be compelled to pay the 1920 addition tax next spring before receiving a license to operate their motor . car. With the funds derived from this source along with a contribution by ihe government, the road commission will now be in a position to do extensive road building when the spring opens and motor men will then realize that the amount exacted from them as a tax will only be a small proportion of what trjey will save in the wear and tear of their motor car -vhile operating on a smooth and well built road.

Paterson, NEW PROPOSALS OFFERED TO MINERS BY CABINET Hope of Settlement Improves as Both Sides Consider New Proposals. - Railwaymen Show Marked Hardening Against Intervention on Behalf of Miners.—Strike Notice Would Not Be Popular With Triple Alliance. COMMONS RUSHES EMERGENCY BILL THRU ALL STAGES LAST EVENING the country show a marked harden, ing against intervention on behalf of the miners and the opinion has been freely expressed by local officials that large bodies of railwaymen would not obey a union strike call if it were persisted in. f Majority by ballot would alter the detei mined attitude of men in many districts and it is now generally believed that the result of a ballot would be adverse to striking.
