COURTESY To
TOURISTS IS URGED.
BUT ABUSE OF AUTO TAX
EXEMPTION SHOULD BE RE-
PORTED, ASKS BABCOCK.

Minnesota is again seeing the annual
summer influx of automobiles from
other states, and this year the stream
of summer tourists has got an earlier
start than year ago. 1t is a regular
thing to count cars from eight or ten
states coming through Ely in a single
day. and in the course of a month al
most every state in the union will be
represented among the visitors.
Among the cars carrying foreign
tags, however, there are some that
should carry Minnesota licenses, ac-
cording to information collected by the
Minnesota Highway department..
These come in several di If ere n t
Glasses:
Minnesota residents who visited in
other states, bought licenses there, and
neglected to get Minnesota licenses
when they came back.
Minnesota residents who have pur-
chased used cars from other states,
and have failed to register them in
Minnesota.
People who have moved into Min
nesota and taken up permanent resi-
dence. but who have not yet register
ed their cars here.
Visitors who have remained longer
than the time allowed by law without
paying license tax Visitors may have
their cars in the state ninety days
without paying tax, provided they get
visitors permit within ten days aft
er arrival.
1.-THE only way to check abuses of
the visitors privilege is through the
cooperation of the public" says Com
missioner G. M. Babcock." 1--WE want
to extend every possible courtesy to
bona fide visitors, and for that reason
the auto license inspectors do not
tag cars with foreign plates unless
they have definite information that
the law is being violated.
ct would neither be courteous nor
practical to stop and question the
drivers, without such information. But
fairness demands that none but bona
fide visitors be permitted to drive with
foreign tags, and if citizens will re-
port, either to this department or to
the local police, any cases where they
have definite information that the law
is being violated, it will soon stop the
abuse of this privilege.
"Car owners who will give such in
formation are doing themselves ia
vor, for any increase in license re-
ceipts will go into new construction
and will hasten the time when more
highway improvements can be made
in st. Louis county"
