OHIO TRUCK CLUB
6ETS INJUNCTION
TEMPORARY   ORDEv»  WILL   HALT
COLLECTION  SSOSUSSS   LICENSES.
Temporary injunction restraining
the collection of increased license
fees for trucks of more than 30 horsepower, was granted the Ohio Motor
Truck club, a branch of which was
recently organized in Lorain, by Judge
E. B. Klnkead In common pleas court
it Columbus Monday.
The restraining order was granted
when an amended petition was flled
alleging that there was a $2,000,000
surplus In the highway department
road fund and that the income from
licenses at the old rates would be
sufficient to keep the roads in repair.
Judge Klnkead last week granted a
similar injunction and later dissolved
it and sustained a demurrer flled by
Secretury of State, Thad Brown.
It ls estimated the injunction will
hold up collection of approximately
$800,000 in license fees. The decision,
lt is believed, will be appealed to tbe
supreme court,  whatever lt may  be.
a-, see what some of them are.
"Undobtedly one of the biggest single fat tors has been the universal con-
I servatlsm among those charged wttk

: quality which waa influenced neither
, by unfounded expectations ef a great
increase in bualness nor hy th* pee-
i simistlc opinions occasioned hy varl
| ous happenings throughout the world.
, Such conservation Inevitably teads te
I steady Industry and trade •• a wfeeie
1 and   to   Inspire  a   widespread   ceaS-
| dence in the future.
"Other decidedly Important Caeters
I are:
Tbe legitimate demand* ef a pro*
perous and well employed people.
Efficient transportation, t*g*t*et
with the rehakUiUtlea anjffm

The continuance ot seuad credit

Marked activity ta buUdlag-

The faith of the people la  tk*

"It Is not unreasonable to suppose
that th* above factors will govern 1SS4
business activities.
"In selecting only the favorable
features lt is not proposed to draw a
curtain of optimism over the aafaver-
able ones. Their handicap* are tatty
appreciated but they are overshadowed by those elements which keep bint I
ness ln this country moving ia tk*
