CHANGE IN AUTO LAW ASKED
ONE OF IMPORTANCE WILL BE
BEFORE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Dealers Numbers a Great Source of
Troubie-use of Homemade
Tags and Plates Illegal.

Des Moines, Oct 29.--An important
change in the automobile tax law will
be urged before the next Legislature.
II relates TO dealers numbers. 1t will
be proposed that this bothersome mat
ter be abolished entirely.
County officials and the state de-
partments have more trouble over the
dealers number idea than anything
else.
The dealers number does not pro-
tect the car owner from ordinary tax
alton, but cars with these numbers on
them are subject to assessment as
other personal property. But this
fact is ignored in many places and a
dealers number is accepted in lieu of
taxes.
A great many dealers in the state
insist upon making use of number
plates of their own make, either paste
board numbers or tin ones painted;
but the use of such numbers is con-
trary to law and their use subjects
the users to fines. 1t has seemingly
been impossible to secure uniformity
in the state on this subject. Not only
must the original number plates, but
each and every duplicate, be secured
from the secretary of state and be
official. EIHtLI
Another thing is found to be true,
that dealers in some places place their
dealers number on the cars they put
into service and expect to keep and
use the year round, on their repair
cars and emergency cars and on those
they keep for private use. OF course
this Is contrary to law.
1t will therefore be suggested that
the simplest and best way out is to
require that whenever car is sold,
or offered for sale, it shall be regis
tered and the taxes be paid, and when
the transfer of ownership takes place
a transfer of the car number is made
for ST. With this plan adopted, which
it is already by some of the better
dealers, every car will be sold with
the number assigned and the fees
paid and the purchaser of the new
car will be saved the bother of wait
ing until he can get number from
the secretary of state. 1t is said that
dealers who have tried this plan find
it good one and quite satisfactory
to them and their customers. The
fees are a small item in the first cost
lof car.

Governor Ammons has ordered II
companies of infantry, two batteries Of
field artillery and three cavalry troops
of the state militia to the scene of the
battle, in fear of further clashes.
Fairness for Both Sides.
Il had no other course to follow"
said Governor Ammons, when he ex-
planned his action. THE situation
there had got away from everybody.
Peace will be enforced by the state
troops now, and fairness will be shown
to both sides"
The guards, it was admitted, will
have difficult task when they attempt
TO disarm the aroused strikers, who
have been in complete control of the
two counties and the towns of Trini-
dad and Walsenburg. The mine guards.
who have been battling with the strik,
ers, will also be disarmed.
The state troops also will be ordered
