Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE old trou-
blesome question Of dealers numbers
on automobiles presents new phases.
with indications that one Of the first
things to be revised entirely out of
the law will be this apparently need
less thing.
In = northern Iowa county q dealer
in autos who had . car with his per.
sonal number on It safely garaged at
home was prosecuted for making use
for his personal comfort Of car with
his dealer number. He pleaded that
che law requires that he need have but
one car with his personal number on it.
de claims that having car In the ga
rage with number. he may then make
use Of cars with his dealer number in
any way he sees At, for plea sure, or for
private use. or for hire. Attorneys are
asking the legal department Of the
state to help them out.
Another Point Raised.
The office OF secretary of state has
received word Of another use Of the
dealer number. In one city dealer
sold his cars the past two months, on
bill Of sale with delivery after Aug. /,
then loaned the cars to the purchasers
and attached his dealer numbers. He
claimd this could be done legally. Then
after Aug. the cars were to be regis
sered at the half rate. But a local court
refused to accept this subterfuge for
cheating the state out of its fees.
A great many have from time to
time pointed out the trouble in hand
ling the dealer number nuisance; and
IN some states the dealers simply reg
lister their cars as soon as put In COM
mission and later transfer the num-
bers to the purchasers
The fact that the dealers numbers
do not protect from the assessors and
tax gatherers has led some enterpris-
ing dealers to almost entirely discard
the numbers.

Eagle Grove is blessed and is noted
