And its Leader come into his own.

In the brave old days, we trace,
But our men indeed, are a nobler

The strength of God, as they toll, and

The force of the Angels sword,
AS they turn the wrong in triumph

And a man can work, and a man can

Until he comes into his own.

| place of business of the dealer. The
tag should be made transferable from
one car to another within the year,
II the car demonstrated has been
sold. The tag should bear the word
'Demonstrator." the initials IN. D.
and the year OF issuance.
Discrimination Against Motorcycles.
The wording Of section 8. as 1t now
is, seems to discriminate against the
dealer in motorcycles. Throughout
the section the words motor vehicle"
are used until the provision exempting
dealers is reached. There the word
automobile" is used. and it is appar-
accorded the privilege of using their
vehicles for demonstration purposes
without the use of tag. The Ian
guage in this section certainly should
be changed.
In addition to this we have con-
tinual complaint over the fee charged
motorcycles and the fact that it is the
same ($3) as that charged automo-
biles. 1t would seem not quite just
that the motorcycle, involving small
investment, and less wear and tear on
the roads, should be required to- pay
the same registration fee as the heavy
and expensive automobile.
Requirements for Drivers.
Judging from the number Of in
quiries the department has had. we
believe there is a general sentiment
throughout the state for some pro-,
vision of law to regulate the age at
which persons may operate motor We
hicles. This sentiment seems to point
to the necessity of forbidding minors,
or children under certain age, from
operating machines. especially in
crowded streets of cities. Persons not
of mature years in control of power

invite accident and are fruitful

Enforcement of Law.
We have found a most gratifying
spirit throughout the state, both
among police officers and citizens, fa-
voring an enforcement of the law, and
we take leave here to return our ac-
acknowledgement of the assistance rem
dered from many such sources all over
the state. This spirit of cooperation
with this department has gone long
way toward, swelling the fund for the
building of roads in the state and to-
ward increasing the number of motor
vehicle registrations made in the past
two years. '.:i5.8
But there are two sources of law
evasion. One we have already refer
red to. The demonstration car. The
other is found mainly in those coun-
ties bordering on Minnesota and other
states. This Is, practice of North
Dakotans Registering their motor We
hicles in for example, Minnesota.
They pay SIS, for three years and
claim exemption from paying for
North Dakota registration under Sec
ton II. which provides that transients
from other states. who are temporarily
in this state. and who exhibit tags
from their own state. are exempt from
registration in this state. The law as
it now stands should put a stop to this
practice, for a North Dakotan cannot
claim to be a nonresident of this
state. The law. however. might be
made little more definite and have
a more restrictive effect.

SECRETARY HALL WANTS CHANGE
MADE IN STATE AUTOMOBILE Law

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 21.-There is
a section in the biennial report Of
Secretary Of State Hall now on file
with the governor. which will be Of
interest to owners OF motor vehicles
Summary.
In his summary of the subject the
secretary recommends:
That vehicles be required to carry
two tags.
That demonstration cars be required
to bear a distinctive tag. and be lin
tied in travel territory
That the present discrimination
against motorcycles be eliminated and
that lesser fee be charged for their
registration. !.
That minors under certain age be
not permitted to operate cars only un-
der certain conditions.
That the law be STRENGTHENED (Sec.
I'D to prevent evasion OF the payment
of registration fees.
+. Suggested Amendments.
In every new law. after it has been
tested by actual experience. there can
be found provisions which are not as
lucid as they might be and there are
always revealed defects. which should
be remedied and which could not have
been anticipated until the law was in
actual operation. We desire to call
dllCAIlOu 70 lew Oh the more serious
of these imperfections that have come
to our notice in carrying out the law:
For instance there is a curious con-
fict in the provisions OF section and
section 8. Section provides that
the secretary of state shall issue two
tags, while section says the driver
shall have the tag of registration dis
played on the rear of the vehicle"
In other words we have no section
requiring the delivery to the owner of
set of two tags" and the other sec
tlon seems to require that but one of
the tags shall be used on the vehicle
and on the rear only of it, Minnesota
and other neighboring states require
that both tags shall be displayed, one
In front and one in the rear, and
some of our citizens who have visited
those states with their vehicles and
having but one tag displayed, have
found themselves in difficulties with
the authorities.
The opportunity for petty fraud is,
here too, and instances have come to
the attention of this department where
two men, brothers. partners in busi-
ness, father and son. or co-employes
for one set Of tags and each man has
used one tag displayed on the rear of
his vehicle, at a cost to each Of $3.50.
Demonstration Cars.
The last sentence of section 8 reads:
Provided that this section shall not
apply to dealers In demonstrating au-l
tomobiles offered for sale"
This is privilege we find is much
abused. Many dealers will use a
demonstration car" for any and ev-
cry purpose. other than demonstrating
1t to customer. This could be rem
edied by authorizing the issuance of a
dealers tag, to be used on cars which
are to be exhibited to customer. It
should only be permitted to be used
on cars which are to be exhibited to
customer. 1t should only be per-;
mitted to be used upon new cars and
trips should be limited to a certain
number of miles from the office or

DR.. Shaw's energy was unflagging and
her spirits rose to each discussion.
Large delegations of people with floral

in nearly all of the large towns which
DR.. Shaw was obliged to pass without
stopping and she graciously appeared
on the rear platform and spoke for
the few minutes the train lay in the
