Put On 1925 Tags

Automobilists of Redwood County,
as well as elsewhere in Minnesota
are liable to arrest now if they carry
any but 1925 license tags on their
machines, April Is having been the
last day for old tags, it was announc-
ed by Mike Holm, secretary of state.
1t becomes the sworn duty ftthe
sheriff and deputies and also town
police and marshals to take into court
any violators of the requirement and
enforce the payment of the only tax
on motor vehicles, also their share
of the expense of maintaining and
improving the most used highways in
this and other parts of the state.
Secretary Holm at the same time
reported an increase of more than
$4,000 motor vehicle registrations
over the figure at the same time last
year. Mainly because the law now
allows 10 per cent annually for de-
probation, instead of 25 per cent af-
ter three years and so per cent after
five years. the average tax and penal
ties are but $16.52 against $16.80
last year. On that basis, the passen-
ger automobiles exclusive of buss-
es-will yeild an average of about
SIS, compared with more than $l7
under the old personal property tax
law and nearly $19 with the state
license fee added in.

SlaShes In School
Mellon By SOlOns

The appropriations committee OF
the house of representatives has re-
fused to allow in it's omnibus educa-
tion appropriation bill an item to-
falling $1,241 ,176 to make up the
upaid balance of supplemental state
aid schools during the last biennium.
Before the education bill was
completed last week, proposal
was made that the measure carry
an appropriation, so that schools of
the state would be able to receive
the supplemental aid that they could
not get out of the appropriations
made by the 1923 legislature but the
committee decided not to allow it.
sThe education appropriation bill
will be presented to the house this
week, and is understood to contain
some drastic cuts, especially in the
state aid items. The requested
amount for state aid during the
next biennium was $6,369.1OO for
1925, and $6,556, ,425 for 1926, to-
tai of $12,925, ,525. The committee
biz is to allow $5,500,0O, for each
year, or 100000 in all, it is de-
clered.
The supplemental school aid which
the state pays is allowed after the
flat aid to all school districts is paid.
The appropriation for this aid fell
short during the last two fiscal years,
and as result only SO per cent of the
amount was paid to schools during
the first year, and SO 1-2 per cent in
the second year.
