STATE Asks TRUCK
MEN TO AID SAVING
ROADS This Spring
Highway Department Reminds
Drivers Restrictions Are
for Their Benefit

Cooperation Of commercial bus and
truck operators and Of business firms
operating motor trucks on state high
ways in an effort to protect the roads
during the spring breakup has been
asked by Chief Engineer H. c. Frahm
in a circular letter sent out from
highway department headquarters
here.
Provision has been made, Frahm
explained, for notifying such persons
when load restrictions r placed on
any road and he expresses the belief
that such users of the highways will
be benefited by having forestalled
trips which might end In difficulty.
While such users might continue to
use roads for q day or two after load
restrictions are ordered effective, the
probabilities r that observance Of
the rules will enable the department
to open the roads to vehicles Of all
weights a week or two earlier than
will be the case If heavy vehicles use
them until they are impossible.
BY barring heavy strucks, Frahm
said, the department hopes to keep
roads passable for passenger automo-
biles, which comprise about 30 per
cent of the traffic. He indicated that
such restrictions may be expected on
graveled as well as ungraveled roads,
asserting that, while graded roads are
the first to break down, q gravel road
Is more expensive to repair after 1t
has been cut through, because Of the
loss Of surfacing material pounded in
to the subgrade.
Frahm said the department will
treat all alike and that no discrimina-

VACANCY FILTERS
GET NO FULL TERMS
Attorney General Rules Public
Officials Merely Com
plete Old

John B. Stevenson. Flasher, Morton
county. must seek election again this
year. Attorney General James Morris
has informed him in an opinion in
terpreting the state election laws.
Stevenson wanted to know if a
county commissioner elected to fill a
vacancy caused by death. holds office
for q full term or only for the unex-
pired term of his predecessor. He
was elected at the general election two
years ago from a field of seven can
didates.
At the death of his father, John w,
Stevenson. former chairman of the
Morton county board. the son was ap-
pointed to fill the place, pending an
election. He continued in the post
by the suffrage of voters of the dis
trict.
The Issue. rs presented to Morris,
was whether he was elected for a reg
ular four-year term or only for the
unexpired term of his deceased father.
In ruling on the matter. Morris held
that the legislature evidently intend
ed that different groups within coun-
ty boards should retire at regularly
recurring intervals rather than have
IN entire board retire at one time.
II commissioners elected to fill
vacancies were permitted to serve a
full four-year term without reference
to the expiration of the term Of their
predecessors. the policy established
by the legislature of not having en-
tire boards go into or out of office at
the same time would be overthrown,
since it would be quite possible for a
combination Of circumstances to bring
about the expiration of the terms of
all commissioners at the same time.
In another opinion. this one to C..
N. Cottingham, states attorney of
county. Morris held that
there is no restriction upon any coun-
ty to prevent 1t from keeping its
funds in the Bank Of North Dakota.
The county was unable to get salts
factory bonds from banks within the
county and placed the money in a
Minot bank. The state bonding de-
partment. which carries the bonds of
county officers, promptly told them
to take the money out Of the Minot
bank since it wa illegal to carry it
there.

moneys In banks in their own county.

ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN
BOUNDARIES OF NATIONAL
FOREST DISTRICTS

Modification of the boundary line
between the Eastern and Lake States
National Forest Districts was an
nounced today by the Forest Service,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
BY the boundary changes effected,
the Lake States District, formerly
comprising the States of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, has been
enlarged to include Iowa, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The ter
ritory included in these States was
transferred from the Eastern Dis
trict, which still retains under it's
jurisdiction the New England, At

SCOUTING COURSE AT
ITASCA PARK PLANNED

A short course in forestry, wood
craft, scouting and camping leader
ship for boy scout officials or others
actively engaged in scout work will
be presented at Itasca State Park,
July % to August 2. This course is
sponsored by the department of agri-
culture of the University of Minneso-
ia and the program will be similar to
those offered in past years, according
to DR.. A. V. Storm, director of short
courses, University Farm, ST. Paul,
who is also chairman of the regional
education committee of the Boy
Scouts of America.
The purpose of the course is to in
struct scout workers in woodcraft
and other subjects leading to an ap-
life so that in turn they may impart
this information to the thousands of
boys who come under their influence.
Courses will be given in archery,
rope work, leathercraft, and camp
cookery during the forenoon of each
day, while in the afternoon there will
be hikes, field trips, rock, tree and
plant studies and handwork. Eve
ming programs will deal with scout
organization and functioning prob
lens.
The course will be given at the
summer station of the division of
forestry in Itasca Park, % miles
northwest of Park Rapids and 80
miles southwest of Bemidji on the
Jefferson Highway. This part of the
park includes more than $1,000 acres
of wild timber land surrounding num-
erous lakes, including Lake Itasca,
the source of the Mississippi River.
Thus it affords unexcelled facilities
for pleasure and profitable nature
study.

ton may write DR.. Storm at the ad-
dress given above.

COWS TURNING TO ART
OVER IN LYON COUNTY

Lyon county cows are artistic, says
the News Messenger.
&C. A. Croker, who has painted
many window signs for local mer-
chants, can vouch for it.
Painting a farm sign for DR.. j. L.
Anderson, Marshall Chiropractor,
one day last week, Mr.. Croker ran
out of red paint and had to come to
town for more. The sign board had
been erected in the corner of a past
ure.
Returning to his work, he found
his lettering smeared into an unin-
telligible middle, with a herd of cows
standing about. The animals had
licked the sign into understandable
cow language.
So Mr.. Croker is convinced that
cows in this section have artistic
leanings, and incidentally he has
found out what a real cowlick is
like"

Tourist Cars Come
In Large Numbers
But Some Foreign Tags Belong
to Minnesota Residents
Should Be Reported

Tourist cars with tags represent
ing every state from Maine to Cali
fornia, are again becoming numerous
on the highways. With paved roads
extending from border to border OF
the states east and south of Minneso-
ia, foreign cars are not only the re-
gular thing the year around, but the
summer tourist caravan starts much
earlier than in former years.
Among the cars with tags from
other states, according to Highway
bulletin, is the usual sprinkling OF
Minnesota residents who have spent
the winter in states like California,
where they pay a nominal auto tax
but escape the personal property
which residents of these states must
pay. Some of these get Minnesota
tags soon after they get home, but
some try to drive through the SUM
mer on the foreign tags until they
leave for the South when winter
Comes again.
Minnesota's habit of showing every
possible courtesy to visitors makes
enforcement of the law against auto
tax evaders difficult. The Minnesota
resident with a foreign license looks
Just like a bona fide tourist on the
highway, and until there is definite
information showing that he is try
ing to evade the tax, he is given the
benefit of the doubt.
Citizens who believe that all re-
sidents of the state who own cars
should contribute to the building and
maintenance of highways, can do a
public service by reporting cases
where residents of the state are driv-
ing cars with foreign license plates.
The report may be made to the State
Highway department, st. Paul, to
any highway patrolman, or to local
police. The report should give de-
finite information as to the residence
of the owner and how long he has
been here.
Any passenger car which has been
properly registered in the home state
of the owner may remain in Mimi
esota ninety days without being tax
ed, if visitors permit is obtained
within ten days after the car reaches
the state. This permit becomes void
if the owner takes up residence here,
or if the car is sold to resident. If
the car owner goes into business or
accepts employment for an indefinite
period, he is considered resident
and is Immediately subject to the tax.
Persons who do work which is clear
ly of a temporary nature and who
have definite intentions of returning
to their home state when the work is
completed, are entitled to the visitors
permit.
The visitors exemption does not
extend to trucks, but trucks from
states adjoining Minnesota may come
and go on reciprocity permit. Such
a permit is good for interstate but
not for interstate hauling, nor fol-
trucks running over regular routes
between fixed terminals.
