SEASON CLOSES ON
DEALERS CAR TAGS.

All used motor vehicles, including
dealers demonstrating cars, are sub
ject to the state auto tax now and
must be registered and general
official plate must be displayed when
they are used upon the public high
ways, according to a ruling from
the attorney general announced this
week. The only proper Office of a
dealers tag after Oct. 1, the ruling
adds, is for use in bringing new
vehicles from the factory, assembly
plant or railroad station to the deal
er's place of business or the bring
ing to such place of business either
used or unused cars from points
outside of the state.
Although the penalties on deal
ers' delinquent auto taxes have been
authorized by law for nearly 80
days, the automobile registry de-
partment is still accepting applica-
lions where good faith is shown.
Realizing that better roads are pro-
noting automobile and truck sales
and that the auto taxes are used
for highway improvements, many
dealers are reported to have prompt
ly complied with the law. Enforce
ment cases are to be brought soon
in other instances.
Delinquent auto tax lists are be-
ing prepared now to be certified to
sheriffs to levy on the unlicensed
machine and other property if nee
essary to collect taxes, penalties and
costs.

M: E. A. MAKES PLANS
FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Plans for a better rural school
system are being discussed at the
annual meeting of the Minnesota
Educational association. The con-
vention will be in session until Sat-
urday at the auditorium in st. Paul.
There will be forty sectional meet
ings during the three days. =
The battle for improved rural
schools will be carried to the legis-
lature which meets Jan. 2. Resolu-
tions to be passed upon at the con-
vention will be presented to the leg
islature, it is planned and the edu-
cation association legislative COM
mittee will fight to put through
their program.
One of the points of the cam
paign will be an effort to remove
county superintendent from poll
tics. 1t is hoped a. law can be
passed making the office of county
superintendent of schools appoint
i've by the state department of edu-
cation.
The education association men,
bership has neared the 5000 mark
in the last year, according to Phil
lip E. Carlson, principal of Roose-
welt High school, Minneapolis, and
president of the association.
A number of prominent educators
are on the program as speakers.

actually handles none of the money,
the trunk highways like all other
state funds being disbursed by the
state auditor and state treasurer.
The big help the three large
cities are giving the road program,
when understood, led to the COM
mon opinion that the best way is to
push road work before present laws
are changed.
Still other figures showed that a
cut of nearly $2,300,000 in local
road tax levies came the first year
after the Babcock plan shifted the
big expense of main road improve
ment and upkeep from the counties
to the state. The state is using
the slightly increased auto taxes for
this work. But owners in Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Duluth were
reported to be making savings on
car upkeep, tires and gasoline from
the better roads to more than offset
their auto taxes for road improve
ment outside those cities. The
farmers figured that they were even
more ahead because they use the
roads more than do city people.
with roads fast getting better,
our local road and bridge fund
leyies decreasing and our auto taxes
exceeded by good roads savings on
car repairs and upkeep, also our city
neighbors paying toward the cost of
the country roads, it is hard to see
how to better things especially when
we must have the good roads and
the quicker they are built the long
er we will enjoy them," was the
way one farmer summed up the
situation.

We clip the following from tn
editorial columns OF last Sunday
News and it goes to sho'
what other sections think of Con
missioner McMahan and his wor
ON the County Board.
A Faithful County Servant.
cit is interesting to watch
the play of politics in the cam
paign for county commissioners
in the even-numbered districts
in Saint Louis county. It ap-
pears to have narrowed down,
largely, to a fight with the BIZ
tulithic paving interests against
the field, with particular en-
phasis on the opposition direct
ed against all of the candidates
who in any way have shown pre-
ference for concreas paving over
bitulithic.
''This phaze of the political
situation is strikingly shown in
the effort being made to defeat
Grant McMahan, of the Ely dis
trict, for reelection. McMahan
has been a member of the Saint
Louis county board for many
years and there isn't a man in
the county that can point to
one act to his discredit.
''The bitulithic candidate in
the Ely district promises a re-
duction in taxes if he is elected,
which is easy to promise but
impossible of performance-and
such promises do not interest
the voters unless there is an
enlightening diagram attached.
1t is rather inconsistent, it
would appear, for a bitulithic
candidate to talk of defeating a
cement paving candidate as a
means of reducing the tax rate
in the county.
"One of the things urged
against Commissioner McMahan
is that he favored the cement
trust" in voting for cement
paving for the highways of the
county. He propably was actu-
ated by the fact that in the use
of cement for the purpose, con-
sidered the very best of road
building material, he cast vote
that was instrumental in saving
the taxpayers of the county
$14,50O a mile on road con-
struction as compared with the
cost of other paving material
that was offered the county.
saint Louis county has in
Grant Mcmahon one of its best,
most conscientious and honest
officials, and it will be to the
interest of the Ely district and
the whole county to see that he
is reelected as assurance that
the county's splendid highway
program may be carried on with
out a break.

WISE FARMER ASKS.
INO ROAD TAX GUT.
PERSONAL INVESTIGATION SAT.
ISFIES HIM THAT NEW
PLAN is TO HIS AD-
VANTAGE.

In many parts of Minnesota are
farmers who are sure that reduc-
tions in their road taxes are coming
fast enough and that they want
present highway laws in the main
left unchanged.
They are farmers who learned at
the highway exhibit at the state
fair how the road money is raised
and used--what their road taxes
buy for them. Today they are tel
ling neighbors and friends the facts
on which they decided that the road
laws cant be bettered.
These farmers, some of whom
travelled by automobile, noted big
improvement in the highways but
felt the roads ought to be better
because they were paying for them
lin high taxes. At the fair, how
ever, they learned from the official
records that more than half the
trunk highway funds used on the
1000 miles of so-called 6abcock
roads are federal aid and the auto
taxes paid by owners in Hennepin,
Ramsey and St. Louis counties, al
though not one dollar of the
money is spent in the three large
cities in those counties Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Duluth which
assess the full cost of street
improvements. Less than on e.
twentieth of the trunk route mileage
which is within those counties could
be paved within five years with the
auto taxes they pay. But that is
not done and other counties profit
by the plan.
The three counties contribute
toward the cost of local roads in
other counties under the state aid
laws. Last year they paid in $780,
900 more than received from state
aid fund.
The figures showed also that near
ly twice as much money is provided
for the Improvement and upkeep of
local roads by the county, town.
ship, city and village road officials
as is raised annually for state use
on the trunk highways. This vas
a surprise to a few who had wrong
ideas that the state highway de-
partment had charge of all roads,
spent all the road funds as it
pleased, and so forth. They learned
also that the highway commissioner
