Stragglers Rush
To Pay Auto Tax

The stool OF repentance was occu-
pied to the limit in Secretary of State
Phil Cooks office over in the big
Capitol Tuesday, mostly by remorse-
full ones who had failed to pay their
automobile taxes for the current year.
Under the law enacted by the Leg
lslature last suHmer every machine
in the State, old or new, must have a
new number for this year, and said
number was required to be purchased
and attached not later than March I.
Despite repeated warnings, couple
with the information that those VINO
failed to pay up were subject to a
misdemeanor charge, involving a pos
sible fine Of 81 900 and Imprisonment
for twelve months, the woods still are
full--or, at least, the highways are
of automobilists who have not paid
said tax.
Police officers began getting after
these recreant ones, good and proper,
Monday and Tuesday, and the office of
the Secretary of State consequently
has bee packed and damned since
with parties begging off,
The Secretary has been lenient 50
far He says he will clamp the lid
down tight within the present wee<
however. and those who fail to come
across" with the special tax between
now and Saturday night may have the
pleasure thereafter of lighting the
