old CAR SALES
!. LEAD TO MUCH
LAW BREAKING
State Agents Pursuing Purchasers
Who Run Machines On Licenses
Issued Former Owners.

E. ]. Noble, Jr., agent OF the state
automobile department under Sec
Rotary OF State Louis L. Emmerson,
has been in Rock Island for several
days, but is leaving today after
launching a campaign to round up
all automobile owners who are
operating their cars on old state H..
censes or on foreign licenses.
The work is TO be carried on by
/ Edwall c. Carlson, 900 Forty-third
street, who has been commissioned
state auto agent for the counties of
Rock Island, Henry and Whiteside.
During his stay in Rock Island
Mr.. Noble has informed the police
thoroughly on the direction of the
secretary of state relative to en-
forcement of the state automobile
license law.
Many autoists have been stopped
on the streets. questioned as to the
legality of their obtaining of license
/ numbers on which they operate
their cars and informed what con-
stituted a breach of the law.
Great Number of Violations.
Mr.. Noble declared that there are
o great number of autoists violating
the state license law. A number of
these are of persons operating
their ears on old licenses, but the
vast ma jority are persons operating
their. cars on what is known as
foreign" licenses The situation
las come about through the vast
number of sales of second hand
cars.
Persons purchasing second hand
cars cannot operate the machines
Iner owners. 1t is said that a few
do not know this. but that the ma
jority are fully acquainted with and
wiifully violating the law.
Must Get New License.
After purchasing a second hand
car they operate the machine on the
license taken out by the former
owner. The difficulty facing the en-
forcement officers is in learning just
who are riding around in second
hand cars. About the only way
such information can be gained is
TO stop autoists promiscuously or
to learn haphazardly of persons
who have purchased second hand
I machines. Once such information
7 is gained the autoist is asked if he
. has obtained license for himself or
is operating the car on the license
obtained by the former owner. From
now on persons found operating
4 their cars on license taken out by
someone else are to be arrested and
{ fined.
