Des Moines, Seut. County attor-
neys thruout Iowa are now engaged In
an effort to collect delinquent auto
mobile license fees in corporation
with the office of secretary of state
and the attorney general. State agents
and other peace officers are assisting
when needed.
Lists were sent to the county attor-
neys short time ago of all delinquent
car owners in their counties as shown
by the records OF the secretary of
states office. 1t was estimated at that
time that some $4,000 cars previously
registered in the state had not been
registered this year. Figured at an
average license fee of IS to the car,
total of 100000 would be due the
state if these figures are correct.
However. II has come to light since
the campaign to collect back fees was
started that many ears have changed
ownership, have been sold and resold
and licensed under the name of the
new owner no notice having been
given 10 the secretary Of state by the
original owner of the change in owner
ship. Hence the original estimate of
IS. 900 unlicensed cars will be pared
down considerably.

Plan to Confiscate Cars.

In Polk county and in other counties
in the state the sheriffs are waging >
vigorous campaign 10 collect up all OF
these back fees and unless they are
paid the cars will be seized and sold
for taxes. Notice to this effect has
been served on many delinquent own
ers in this county. Each owner is
given five days of grace after receiV-
ing his notice. The payment of the
original fee is required and a maxi
mum penalty of $50 for being delin-
uuent is authorized. If these are not
paid the car will be seized and sold al
public auction to satisfy the tax.
Various schemes are resorted to by
some auto owners to avoid the tax.
Dealers in many instances have been
using dealer numbers on private cars
or have permitted customers to use
their dealer numbers for considerable
period Of time. Owners of more than
one car have in numerous instances
taken out but one license for two cars,
using one plate on one car and the
other plate on another car.
II is estimated that more than $780,
900 in the past three weeks have been
collected over the state in back license
