HIGHWAY REVENUES
SHOW A DECREASE
Full Enforcement Of Motor We
hicle License Law Urged by
State Road Chief.

Automobile license receipts for
April, May and June were 1929. 1897.
or $241,9S0 less than during the same
months in 1926. Receipts from Jan.
to June 80 totalled s9,6s4,9s2 and
during the same months in 1925 they
were $9,313,26S. From July to De-
cember in 1926 the receipts were
$662,978.
Many new machines were bought
during the spring, summer and fall
of 1926. The registration of these
machines last winter caused an in
crease of license fees in January,
February and March Apparently not
as many new machines are being
bought this year, and if receipts fall
off as much during the next six
months as during April, May and
June, the total available for better
highways in 1927 may be less than
in 1926. Gasoline taxes have also
dropped. the total on shipments into
the state from Dec. to June 1 being
$2,073.967, and for the same months
year ago $2,110,493.
In commenting on these figures, C.
M. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner, made plea for the co-opera-
ton of county and municipal law en-
forcement officers and others interest
ed in road Improvements, in seeing
that all cars in Pine county are prop
erly licensed
There are few cars without Ii
censes, but there are many that do
not have the right license" Mr.. Bab-
cock said. 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 to-
wards highway upkeep that others
should evade their tax.
1.-THE law requires US to keep a
record of construction and mainte-
nance expenditures by counties. The
secretary of state tabulates license
receipts by counties. Traffic must be
the first consideration in deciding how
much to spend on any road, but if
the expenditures are low compared
to the auto license receipts in any
county, that county has good argu-
ment for more highway improvements.
Each county therefore has local
interest in seeing that all cars are
properly licensed"
Some of the more common viola
tons are:
Using "a" and "B" licenses on cars
that have been made over into trucks
or delivery cars.
Using "T" trucks for commercial
hauling. "T'' licenses are for farm
use only.
Using tx" tags on trucks that
should have "Y". All trucks doing
general hauling for hire should have
'Y" plates.
Using cars licensed in other states.
ALI cars owned by residents must have
Minnesota licenses when in the state.
Newcomers must get Minnesota tags
when they take up permanent resi-
dence here. Visitors may stay ten
days without permit and ninety days
with a permit.
Tractors must be licensed, except
those used solely for farm work, for
drawing threshing machinery or for
road work other than hauling ma
terial.
Trailers must be licensed, except
trailers of less than 1000 pounds ca

Specialists have found that the meat
proteins not only have as high food
value when eaten in mixed diet as
when eaten alone, but that they
greatly increase the nutritive value
of the cereal or vegetable proteins-
Thus the proteins in the bread of 81

when eaten in combination with the
