SEE ALL CARS HAVE
LICENSE, is PLEA

A hint that enforcement of the
motor vehicle license law may at
feet future highway construction in
st. Louis county is contained in a
statement made by c. M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner. Mr..
Babcock asks the aid of county and
municipal law enforcement officers
and others interested in good roads,
in seeing that all machines in the
county are properly licensed.
"The law requires us to keep
record of our construction and main
tenance expenditures by counties,
says Mr.. Babcock. "The Secretary
of State tabulates the license re-
ceipts by counties. Traffic must be
the first consideration in highway
improvements, yet if the expendi-
lures are low compared to the auto
licenses in any county, that county
has a good argument for highway
improvements.
"But whether you look at it from
a local or statewide viewpoint
every car owner who has paid his
license has an interest in seeing
that all other car owners pay their
proper tax. 1t is not fair to those
who pay their legal share towards
the upkeep of the highways to have
others using those highways with
out paying for them.
Enforcement of the license law
rests primarialy with the local OIL
Gals. The highway department, UNI
der authority of law, has assigned
three employees to check and report
violations. They try to visit every
town but they cannot look up every
one of the 100000 cars in the state.
The sheriffs and city and village
police have generally given good CO.
operation, but there are still num-
Der of cars not properly licensed.
The delinquent tax would amount
to thousands of dollars and would
improve many miles of highawy."
Some of the more common viola
tions are:
Using "a" or "B" tags in trucks.
Every passenger car made over into
a truck or delivery car must have
a truck license.
Cars with one plate. Every We
hicle must have two plates. Dupli-
Gates cost $500.
Using "T'' trucks for commercial
hauling. "T' licenses may be used
Lor hauling farm products, or bring
inc back articles for farm use.
hauling for hire. tx" licenses may
be used only for collecting or de-
Ivering things owned by the car
rier, or things upon which he per-
forms work or service.
Using cars licensed in other states.
Cars owned by residents of Mime
sofa are subject to the tax when
brought into the state. People
moving into the state should get
Minnesota licenses when they take
- permanent residences here. Non
residents may use the highways for
ten days without a permit and ninety
days with a permit.
Using tractors without licenses.
Tractors are exempt only when
used solely for farm purposes, for
drawing threshing machinery or for
road work other than hauling ma
terial.
Using trailers without licenses.
Only trailers of less than 1000
pounds capacity used with pleasure
cars on occasional trips are exempt.
Using dealers licenses on ordinary
pleasure or business trips. Dealers
plates may be used only while dem
onstrating or moving cars between
places of business or storage.

Daily Prize Awards.

Apart from expensive and COM

interest is expected to be heightened
by the daily award OF prizes, valued
in an aggregate at more than $1,000.
Nearly all of the exhibitors have
agreed to contribute the prizes, which
will be given away Each will per-
tain to radio, and most of them
doubtless will be eagerly sought by
all spectators. They will include re-
ceiving sets, loud-speakers and other
equipment.
z. H. Hoffman, chairman of the
publicity committee, said today that
the following firms already have
agreed to donate prizes, principally
receivers:
Dabney & Bugg, Hoffman & Good
man, Howell Brothers, the Halliday
Company, The Kaufman Store, Price
Brothers, Tower-Binford. Others are
expected to swell the list.
Mr.. Hoffman stated that local deal

kinds of sets will be on display. This

A QUESTION OF CANDIDATES.

Hon. William G. McAdoo, son-in-
law of the late Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
has, in an extended deliverance de-
clined to be candidate for the nomi-
nation of President of the United
States upon the Democratic ticket.
This attitude on his part is looked
upon from two angles. One is that
he sees the hopelessness of the strug-
gle for the same honor in contest
with Governor Alfred H. Smith, of
New York, and from another as a bid
for the distinguished Governor OF
New York State to do the same thin"
in order to promote harmony within
the ranks of the Democratic Party.
The two statesmen represent in
terests Numerically opposed to each
other. Governor Smith is pro-
nounced wet, and Mr.. McAdoo is
a pronounced "dry" They disagree.
too, upon other great issues confront
ing the country. Governor Smith is
a Roman Catholic, and as such is op-
posed by the Ku Klux Khan. The
situation is interesting and it seems
to foreshadow the election of Re-
publican for President. 1t seems a
foregone conclusion that unless Gov
ernor Smith, of New York, sees ii;
to eliminate himself as candidate for
President, the split in the Democratic
Party will be disastrous.
The Republican Party is also hav-
ing its troubles. The Lowden boom is
assuming widespread and alarming
proportions and it is ''On the cards"
that the administration does not favor
this distinguished Illinoisan. Vice
President Charles G. Dawes is said
to be a personal friend of ex-Gov-
ernor Frank G.. Lowden. The Hoover
boom is looked upon with favor. In
the meantime, the familiar form and
features of Hon. Charles G. Hughes
appear upon the horizon. He is un'
ouestionably the ablest and the best
individual as yet mentioned. He mild
" protests that he is too old to rur
for President, but his admirers re
mark that he does not say that ne l:
too cd to serve as President.
A man of his kind and calibr'
would make an ideal President. We
regard him as the ablest statesman
now before the American people. III
is the only man mentioned, who coult
neutralize and probably eliminate tn
GAP Smith majority in New 4orl
State. Still, we shall see what w
shall see. We wonder if the Repuo
lican leaders will be far-seeing enough
to draft him for service in the mex
campaign for President OF the Unite
States?
