WHY NOT SAvE2

A Nebraska motor car was In town
today. 1t had Nebraska tag which
was an old tag with small add
tional piece placed over the year
showing that 1t Is good for 1920
II saves three fOurths Of the cost OF
the tag. Also the tags and yearly
sections are sent to the county treas
urers by freight or express mt a
trifiing cost and Nebraska saves tens
Of thousands Of dollars.
Kansas buys 275,OO0 or more tags
every year; 1t sends each out by mail
and letter with 1t, postage alone
$4,000, not to mention the cost OF
the tags and an army Of clerks at
Topeka to handle the immense bus
mess. Kansas wastes probably $780,
900 a year just on this one piece Of
poor business management. &c.,
1t all comes out Of the people and
might go to help build good roads II
nothing else. DO not the Topeka
politicians think It worth saving?
The State Journal says that the
present and past state printers have
taken summer trips to California
at state expense "tO look over the
printing plants" though 1t Is not easy
to see why they could not look near
err home. The last trip cost $17S.15.
