Crackdown UnderwayA campaign aimed at stopping out-of-state registration of

vehicles was recently initiated by the California Dept. of MotorVehicles. Officials estimate the State of California lossesamount to millions of dollars a year because of the illegalpractice.

Registration of vehiclesowned by individuals and busi-ness firms are under investiga-tion, according to the state of-ficials. The California licensefee is based on the value of thevehicle, as is the state's salestax program.

The OneIn a recent issue of the

Miami (Fla.) Herald, assistanteditor John Pennekamp wrote acolumn about the long lines atticket windows for the Ringling-Barnum Circus. One problem, hesaid, was the windows didn't op-en on time and then when ticketswere sold out they didn't botherto put up a sign, but let peoplestay in line until their turncame up

The real show, he wrote,was even better than the circusand it took place right there inthe ticket lines. There werewell groomed kids and sloppy•kids. Some were well behaved andothers weren't. Most- of thosestanding in line, he added, looked as if they could lose someweight. One couple, obviouslycrazy about each other, justcouldn't stop and used theirtime for advanced "making out."

The Circus Report

CRACKDOWN (Continued)

'The fact that a person orfirm owns property in anotherstate is not the determining fa-ctor," says the Motor VehicleDept. "A California resident orperson employed in this stateby an out-of-state firm has toregister his vehicle in Califor-nia. On a new vehicle, intendedfor use here, the registrationhere is mandatory. On an oldervehicle the grace period forpersons moving into Californiaends when the year ends or theplate expires."

Oregon, Nevada, Alabamaand other Southern and Mid-weststates are popular states inwhich to register vehicles be-cause of their low fees. Otherinducements include cheaper in-surance and less smog controlregulations, often resulting inthe absence of such devices.

Firms operating in Califor-nia on a part-time basis canpay a use tax for milage, or apro-rated license fee plan isavailable. This plan offers anopportunity to buy licenses forvehicles only for the months ofactual operation within thestate.
