To Protect Motor Car owner.

The legislature this winter will be
asked to enact some further legisla-
ton to curb the motor car thieves.
Present laws on the subject have
failed to reduce the number of stolen
cars. The business Of stealing motor
cars in Missouri has become almost
an industry. The insurance rates
aTaiust theft have been Increased al
most to the point Of prohibition for
that line of insurance. and yet.
makes Insurance against thefts an
absolute necessity.
The attention Of Missouri motor
car dealers has been called to the
Maryland law. which is aimed to
make ii more difficult to dispose of
stolen cars. The very great percent
age of stolen cars are stolen for the
purpose of being sold by the thieves.
The Maryland law was enacted upon
the theory that If 1t was made more
difficult to sell cars there would be
less incentive to steal them. The
law provides that there must be a
deed given with each sale of car.
An abstract of title is hardly possible
for stolen car unless II is forged,
and Maryland has provided against
forged deeds by adding severe
penalty for forgery.
In Maryland the man who sells a
car must show by official record his
title to the car, and the man who
buys 1t must record the title he has
received. In that manner record is
kept OF every transaction and OF
every sale within the state, just as
titles to real estate are preserved.
Those who have studied the Mary
land law believe that it would prove
effective in Missouri. and Maryland
Is well satisfied with It's operation.
It Is said that IL has worked to the
protection of motor car owners. and
Maryland Is preparing to enlarge the
srre this winter to include trans
actions made outside the state for
