AUTO LICENSE sLACKERs.

Minnesota motor vehicle tax-ike

nouncement comes this week that
owners violating the law against
operating unlicensed cars and trucks
anywhere in the state will be fined.
1t follows penalties accruing on tax
arrearages.
Inspectors are being sent to every
locality in a statewide drive against
auto tax slackers who are to be
taken into court. Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
consented to personally undertake
the campaign, upon the advise of
Attorney General Clifford L. Hill
ton that the state highway organ
ization and equipment should be
used to that end in the absence of
other provisions. 81 have sympathy

in comparison to the number that
are taking advantage of tax en-
forcement in the past and boasting
about it. Justice to more than
100000 Minnesota car and truck
owners demands that all slackers
be compelled to pay without further
delays. Every opportunity has beer

Every member of The American
Legion of Minnesota should be
proud to live in state where the
press is so solidly American, so
willing to cooperate with the veter-
ans, so intensely interested in what
Legionaires are trying to do, so
ready to help them. The Ameri-
can Legion of Minnesota is strong
and powerful. Why. Largely be-
cause, in Minnesota, Legion news
gets publicity According to Lem
uel Bolles, Legion National Adj
jutant, no state in the nation is
so generous in this respect. Gopher
editors have no axes to grind other
than to serve their communities.
And they know that helping the
local Legion post is one of the
best ways of helping the commun-
ity.
, The newspaper editors of Mime
sofa WELD a tremendous influence
for good-or evil. They have chosen
to back the forces of good, of
patriotism, of Americanism. They
have helped make Minnesota one
of the most truly American states
in the Union. In isolated cases, in
a minority of states, editors may be
controlled by certain interests OPP
posed to the principles for which
Legionaires stand. These interests
crack the whip and the editors
jump.
Nothing like that in Minnesota.
Look over our state newspapers.
See at their helm set of thinking,
patriotic, four-square men, not one
of whom could be bought away
from what he believes to be in the
best interests of his country and
his community. Practically all were
sound and sane during the war.
They served then. They are serv-
ing now. Hats off, Gopher Legion
Gang, to the press of Minnesota,
the best press of the best state in
the nation. And better still, show
the appreciation of the Gopher
Gang by standing four-square back
of your home town newspaper. IT'S
editor has helped you. Help him
NOW!

SOLDIERS INSURANCE.

District No. 10 of the United
States Veterans Bureau announces
that campaign will be instituted
on May 1st., for the purpose of re-
Installing and converting United
States Government insurance polio
les of ex-service men and women.
There is apparently general i'm
preston among those formerly
identified with the service, who
have allowed their insurance to
lapse, that they are no longer en-
titled to the privilege of carrying
policy with the Government. This
is not the case, however. Insur-
ance can be reinstated any time up
to March 3rd, 1926, regardless of
when the last payments were made.
The only exception to this rule is
in the case of those who are per-
manently and totally disabled or
are suffering from a disability which
is not due to their military service.
Although it is not necessary to re-
instate this insurance until March
3rd, 1926, there are many advan-
tages in doing so at this time, and
| it is because of these advantages
that the Government is now inaug-
urating this campaign in the states
of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana.
A man who converts or reinstates
his policy during this drive will
pay smaller premium than if he
waits for several years. He will
at the same time be building up a
cash loan value; and if he has a
limited payment policy it will mat.
ure earlier. Then too, many men
who are in good health at the pres
ent time may not be able to rein
state few years from now due
to some disability which they might
contract in the meantime. No man,
especially one who has dependents,
should be without insurance, and
for ex-service men the government
offers the best, cheapest and safest
policy.
In addition to yearly renewable
term insurance, the government
issues six different plans of per-
manent forms of insurance. Or
binary life, twenty and thirty pay
ment life, twenty year and thirty
year endowment and endowment at
the age of sixty-two. These policies
not only have the disability feat
ure incidental to the yearly renew
able term insurance. but in addition
have cash and loan values; and ex-
tended and paid-up insurance at the
end of the first year is without re-
strictions as to travel or occupation,
and is also free from taxation and
is protected from claims of credit
ors.
Communications relative to gov
eminent insurance will receive i'm
MEDIATE attention if addressed to the
Insurance Section, u. S. Veterans
Bureau, Keith-Plaza Building, Min
neapolis, Minnesota, or to the u. S..
Veterans Bureau offices at Helena,
Montana, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
