ST|GATORS ON
TRAIL OF TRAFFIC
LAW INF FACTIONS.
TWO SECRETARY OF STATE AIDS
VISIT OTTAWA TO ARREST AU-
TO OWNERS CAUGHT VoLAT.
ING ILLINOIS LAWS.

Under the new law which gives to
Secretary of State Louis l.. Emmer
son authority to appoint investigators
with power to make arrests for vio-
lation of the automobile laws, a
roundup of violators was begun here
today. Investigators H. C. Cox and
M. A. Adams of La Sale county are
in charge Of the survey.
While these investigators have pow
er to arrest for violation of any of
the automobile laws. they concern
themselves particularly with viola
tions Of the law requiring licenses for
automobiles and chauffeurs. Their
purpose always is to cooperate with
the local authorities in every way.
"The public is very generally observ
ing the law requiring the obtaining of
license plates" Mr.. Cox said, "but
other sections of the automobile laws
are not being so strictly complied
with. This is true especially of the
chauffeur's certificate requirements.
In most counties where investigators
have been sent to date they have
found great laxity in the observance
of this section of the law Under the
law no boy under eighteen years of
age is permitted to drive a car or
truck for hire and all persons who
drive cars or trucks for hire must OBJ
tain chauffeur's license from the
secretary of state This applies to
drivers Of deliver ytrucks as we'll as
to drivers Of taxi cabs, service cars
or private chauffeurs. The owner of
the truck or car, not operated for
hire, of course, is permitted to drive
without chauffeur license, but any
one driving car not his own for
compensation must have a chauffeur's
license
Another violation of the automo-
bile laws which is very common is
the operation for hire by automobile
dealers Of cars equipped with the
regular dealers license plates. The
plates properly can be used only on
cars for sale or used for demonstra-
tion purposes. A service car or car
let out for hire must be equipped with
individual license plates.
THE law also is very strict in re-
quiring two license plates on every
car, one in front and one in the rear
If license plate is lost, application
for duplicate to the secretary OF
state must Tbe made at once"
Mr.. Adams explains that in COM
munities visited by investigators
since the new law went into effect
July 1, the number of applications for
chauffeurs licenses and for the issu-
ing of duplicate plates where plates
have been lost has increased nearly
100 per cent. It was estimated when
the act was passed that these investi-
gators would he able to increase the
revenue from automobile licenses ami
chauffeurs licenses to the extent at
least of $250,000. Results up to date,
1t is declared, Indicate that the figure
will be exceeded The cost of send
ing out the investigators is only
small percentage of this amount.
