If the bootlegger was successful in getting a load or two-of liquor into the state he could pay for his car; while if he was arrested and the car confiscated the vendor lost nothing. the security company holding the sales contract lost nothing, the boot logger lost only his first payment. and the law abiding automobile owners of the state paid the bill through higher insurance rates. The order of the commission will stop all this, and will lead directly to a cur tailment of bootlegging activities in the state.
 Cassidy is now holding for confis- cation, it was announced last eve ming, 10 automobiles valued at more than $15,000, most of which are al Tucson.
