evidence and operation.
Business Basis.
These indeed are strenuous times
in the postal service. More has been
actually accomplished, think, during
the past two or three years, due to
the untiring energy and devotion OF
the present postmaster general, Hon.
Frank H. Hitchcock, and his able CO.
workers, than in any past period of
eight or ten years. need not recite
these accomplishments in detail here,
they are familiar to all. The aim has
been to place the service on a busi-
ness basis; to operate 1t on the same
principle as you do your stores. your
factories, and your farms; and this 10
now practically being done. The serv-
ice is self-sustaining, q condition
never before known in the history Of
the department. While do not think
1t is the intention or that 1t would
be wise, to attempt to effect any con-
siderable profit, still there appears 70
! be no good reason why the service
1 should be operated at loss to the
public revenue.

able to accomplish this, not only With

THE PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT
Provisions of State Automobile Law
Not Well Understood, Says
Secretary of State.

The main business of the secretary
Of states office last month has been
the issuance of motor vehicle regis
tration tags, for from now on the car
that travels the highways without the
golden lettered, black japaned metal
tags provided by the state for So the
pair is likely to get it's owner in trou-
BILE" says Secretary of State P. D.
Norton in communication concerning
the work Of that department.
$50 far, about $500 tags have been
issued to automobiles and about 200
to motor cycles. But the last minute
rush Of the neglectful or forgetful is
on and applications are coming in at
such rate that 1t is easy to forecast
a total of 1000 automobile registra-
tions.
"The provisions of this registration
law seem either to be imperfectly
known or understood by great many
and there has been some little diff
Guilty in getting the information con-
veyed to the public. The great stumbl-
ing block seems to be inability to un-
derstand that it Is the vehicle that is
registered-not the owner. Thus,
many write saying: 4 have sold by
old car and bought new one. Can
l keep the tags had for my old carr"
or 1--WE have traded cars-can we trade
tags, so We can have our old num-
bers" Once the tag is placed on the
cart is there to stay until, in 1912,
it is assigned new one. The old tags
go with the old car and the man who
buys a new car must buy new tags for
it; also the man who has bought the
old car must report his purchase with
! 81 fee to the secretary Of state. An
other difficulty seems to be that the
law requires eachs car to be supplied
with two tags of the same number and
does not specify where the tags shall
be worn. The department has been
advising automobile owners to wear
one tag on the front end of the vehicle
and the other tag on the rear. Other
minor difficulties seem to come ovel
a misunderstanding that the price o1
the motor cycle tag is only 81, while
that of automobiles is 49, The price
on either is SO. But some motor
cyclists feel that they are being stung
having been led to think by some ru
NOR that the price should be 81. Othel
difficulties were in making out appli
cations Some forget to sign, or for
get to send the SO, or forget to maxi
, application and sent the money ant
asked for the tags without other for
mality, or forget to have the notar.
attest to the verification, or forget t.
have him put the seal on, or forge
to fill in the name or model or factor
number. All these matters are re
Quired to be recorded by the secre
tary of state, and while 1t may hav
seemed picayunish to send back tn
applications for correction-there wa
nothing else to do, If the law were t
be complied with. Next year tn
motor vehicle owners will know NOR
about the law and the registration vii
20 much smoother.

These questions covered almost
every feature of the postal service.
The explanation Of. the different prob

proved very instructive. The con-
