 During the conference, officials of the motor vehicle department will demonstrate the methods the depart ment has for identifying drivers and cars about which information is sought on short notice, including the novel sorting machine which enables the department invariably to put its finger on car or driver when, in the confusion of an accident or other wise, only meager information is available, even if it lacks the regis tration number of the car in question: The local police will be told what in- formation is most essential in order to get quick rseultS.

Registrars
 Expect Last
 Minute Rush

Today is the last day on which people can enter their names on the Democratic or Republican primary lists Registrars White and Louns- berry expected a big last minute rush of men and women to enroll before the office tonight. So far they have been kept too busy to count up on the numbers who have enrolled, but it is expected that about an even number of men and women filed their names at the office and that primary lists will be larger than ever before.
 Both parties seem to be satisfied with the numbers that have enrolled this year. Because of the anticipated sharp fight within the Republican party there has been somewhat more registering than among the Demo- cratS.
 The dates of the primaries will not be announced for some time vet as they are set by the town chairman of each party.

 But behind this smile there may be rnrcI, significance Significance pos sibly because Haynes, just getting a toe-hold on his job, has begun to re- alize the immensity of the problems set before him for solution.
 It is but fair to Haynes his sup porters all agree, to concede that his job is one of the most difficult and perhaps one of the most thankless in the Government service. In the present frame of mind of the public over prohibition, and sentiment con- stantly shifting over the different an gles Of the question. Haynes admits that he does not expect that all of his acts will escape censure even from the "drys.''
 Haynes, in a good beginning. says he wants to be fair and square in liquor law enforcement. He does not want to grow frantic, acqutescing to demands of dry advocates regard les of the terms of the law, nor does he want to be so lenient that the bars will be let down for law-break- ing

 'fThe whole tax reform program contemplates freeing business from what have been found paralyz1ng and exaSperating restrictions, encouraging to the utmost the resumption of en- terprise and business, removing every possible incentive to evasion and fraud, and distributing the tax burden With the greatest possible equity among all classes of people, keeping in mind the purpose to impose the larger share on those best able to pay"
