I'd. now have TO, my state license Whe
! get into Montana l have to secur
Montana license, which l CLAIM
nd should not exceed $3.50 for Ford car
ng and others in proportion. 1t win b.
re my option to secure license on enter
NJ ing a state or later on as 1 need gas
Each states law is such that no gas
station can deliver gas to a car NOT
e. carrying license of his own state
lie The license on my car readily tells
u that, without any preamble. So I am
directed to a centrally located drug
store, which all small towns or villages
y have, and each state furnishes them
= with their state license stamps and
= receipt books. I pay the druggist
: $3.50. get receipt for same and
4 license stamp, say about inches
! square. The druggist securely seals
! this stamp on the lower inside edge
of my windshield. The outer edge of
/ the stamp shows the name of the
state that issued it and the druggist
writes with pen and ink across. the
face OF the stamp the name of my |
state and number of my license. Now |
IN order to secure gas, must show up |
both stamp and my receipt. The receipt
has blank space for description of /
the person who secures a license, such
as age, height, weight nationality,
ETC., and a place where 1 must write
my full name and the druggist to
witness the same. This would stop
me from trying to dispose of my H.
cense to friend. In the first place
| couldn t give him my license stamp
as this would deface; besides my own
state license number is written across
the face. So l would have to loan
him my car which 1 am not likely to.
do, and if should my friend wouldn t |
likely correspond to my description.
You can readily see its impossible
then to defraud or get through any
state without license >. In case I q
should try to sneak across Montana
with gas enough or on even through U
Wyoming, the Dakotas OF Minnesota. =
would get me. l might secure their
state license before 1 venture TO oct
gas. The national law must be such if
tnat no one state can furnish gas un-
less can show not only my own VS.
Idaho state license, but must show wi
Montana, Wyoming and one of the de
Dakotas in case 1 am clear over into
Minnesota. The Minnesota gas station sal
nan fines me $500 and if 1 refuse sal
% come across he has me arrested and of
hen my fine becomes $4,000 I am sta
lot liable to pass over another state OF
without first securing license. That AIRY
Minnesota gas man must give me VIII
eceipt, and the receipt must show that abe
% refunds back to the states I passed jud
through, $3.50 each. So you see those ano
tates do not lose. There ia q nanal+v Bel
