INQUIRIES ABOUT MOTOR LAW.

The new motor license law is the
source of u great deal of inquiry this
spring on the part of auto owners. The
provisions of the law are for the pay
ment Of a tax of three dollars on the
part of each auto owner in the state, for
license from July first to January first,
and after that an annual license fee OF
six dollars for each owner. Applicants
for registration under the present law
with d fee of one dollar are only seCur-
ing registration, and the three dollar tee
follows. The administration of the law
is in the hands of the Secretary of State,
and Secretary Glasner thinks that he
will be able to get the supplies to the
county treasurers by the fifteenth OF
May when the number tags can be se-
cured by auto owners for the six months
period. Individual owners pay at the
rate of six dollars year, while dealers
pay ten dollars year for two numbers
for demonstration cars, with the privi-
lege of securing additional numbers for
their demonstration cars at one dollar
each, in case they desire to use more
than two numbers for that purpose. The
fund raised from these licenses go into
the county roads funds of the counties
in which the license is paid, with the
exception of twelve and one half per
cent of the receipts which are sent to the
Secretary of State to bear the expense OF
supplying the number tags and the clerk
hire and other expenses Incidental to
carrying on that part of the work in his
department.

CATCHING.

We are infected with the disease called
Progression" and we are stimulated
/ chiefly by the close perusal of the pro-
found wisdom and quaint sayings OF
your esteemed correspondent of the
Civic Federation. Ye scribe for one is
inspired to shake off the dust of the last
and dead century and wake up" and
at least look around enough to see that
pile of refuse mica if nothing more. But
seriously, see something more. Me-
thinks l see in the near future the busi-
ness man land woman alsol working in
such close harmony with the ruralist
that the commodities of life may always
he obtained of each other at fair re-
numeration that social life among us
may be equally enjoyed. That any i'm
portant factor or enterprise that bids
fir to aid or develop the interests OF
he citizens Of the city may also work to
the uplifting of the rnralist. am look
ing, and hope to see in the near future a
practical progressive man or woman
who will erect steam grist mill, an
oatmeal factory, grain elevator and a
creamery, and that water from Rapid
creek, or some other everflowing stream
may not only be conducted through our
metropolis, but may be so utilized that
power may be cheaply obtained to run
any enterprise that might be desired for
our welfare and convenience. / see
also the toiliDg husbandman studying
with profou nd interest the character and
possibilities of his rich virgin soil, and
deciding as he works it when and where
he can best apply his disc and harrow,
his planter and roller, when and at what
depth and what time of the year he can
with the greatest efficiency use his sub
soiler and plow, how best to rotate his
crops, and whether sugar beets, winter
wheat, and alfalfa might not well have
place in the rotation. ] am wonder
ing if the majority of our people in Gus.
ter county realize the enormous devel-
opment and resources that might be Sc
cured from the proper conservation OF
what moisture We have, and just how to
hold it and use it to our own profit.
When once the people of our county get
a vision of what little expenditure OF
money and effort will do, when we get
fully aroused to the opportunities that
are scattered about our door yards, the
results will be 80 gratifying that home
seekers will be attracted from other
states by the splendid possibilities OBJ
tainable here. The Architect of the
Universe has treated our county with
lavish generosity when He gave her its
soil, climate, streams, prairies, hills and
valleys, and it is high time we come to
know something of their real beauty
and richness. We have the material to
work on. What We need is more work
ers, with cheap power, better farming
methods and the necessary environ
ments. The rest will be easy. Then
when we make long pull, strong pull
and pull altogether, nothing can stoE

my best bow, and my hand to their fall
and genial representative, the quill
pusher. Hoping their banner will loni
wave, and the quill push on and on un
til success and victory is assured and al

THE SALOON LAW.

The question has been put up to the
Attorney Generals department as to
one construction of the new six hundred
to one saloon license law which was not
made plain. The law allows two saloons
to small towns, but on a population ba-
sis, one to each six hundred or major
fraction. In some instances it was held
that where a town contained popula-
ton of more than six hundred, the pop
ulation basis alone ruled, and only one
saloon could be established: The At
torney General holds that the two sa-
loon provision applies to any town
which desires to take that method OF
providing for saloons, and if there is a
desire for a greater number they must
come under the population provision.
