MANY ARRESTS in
AUTO TAX CAMP AIGN
Fines Imposed and Numerous Prose
cutions Pending In Dodger Drive as
p. Tax Collections Run Up

Nearly 100000 additional taxes and
penalties paid, fines imposed on more
than % convictions and more than 100
cars listed for further prosecutions are
partial results for the first three days
OF Minnesota auto tax enforcement re-
ported to the state highway depart
ment. The cases were listed by three
special inspectors making daily re-
ports and big increases in totals were
predicted on first weekly returns from,
143 additional inspectors-engine
superintendent and other regular en-
p1oyees Of the highway department
over the state.
Warren and vicinity, like all other
localities in Minnesota officials assert,
are included for round-ups of unli-
censed cars by inspectors with instruc-
tions to take offenders directly into
court. Regular department employees
are to continue searches in connection
with their ordinary duties until the
last unlicensed car Or truck is rounded
up. A week or two ago two prom
inent Warren men were sarrested,
brought before a justice and given a
3O-day Jail sentence. Sentence was
suspended and parties given opportuni-
ty to comply with the law, which they
proceeded to do immediate ly.
Charles N. Babcock, state highway
commissioner who undertook the drive
on solicitations from other state Off
Gals and lin fairness to more than
100000 motor vehicle owners who have
complied with the law" acknowledged
hearty cooperation from sheriffs and
police officers in many sections.
Prosecutions are being brought in
all cases where cars and trucks are
operated in Minnesota without both
front and rear tags and in the cases
of foreign cars without visitors per-
mits. Scores are fast learning that
prompt compliance with the law saves
trouble and costs, inspectors report,
and that the auto tax must be paid
The inspectors are concerned only
with violations of the law against I'M
licensed machines and tax applications
and payments are being left entirely
to the owners and the state registrar,
Mike Holm, secretary Of state.
