There are so many strings to the

is that the real leaders of the two old
parties are the President and ex-Presi-

strange if these two Industrious
gentlemen felt a good deal about the
drift in national affairs and wonder
when and how the country is to get

There are as many strange bedfel-

seems that a lot OF the old progressive
Republicans are determined to beat

Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota is

law replies, IF Colonel Brookhart's
power were commensurate with his
apparent desires, this government
would not last a fortnight" Iowa is
reported to have become a veritable
battle-ground Of debate as to whether
the transportation act should survive
or not. And what is true of the situa-
ton is true in all parts Of the country
where the old battle between labor
and capital is being fought with the

that they are being held up by shot

secure uniform enforcement Of auto
mobile laws throughout the entire
state.
The nrst result of the regulation
is to increase automobile fees. which
in Illinois and practically every
other state are used in the building
OF more hard roads or the maintenance
OF roads already built. Chauffers'
fees in Illinois have increased from
$63, 90 in 1920, the year before the
creation of the position OF Automobile
Inspector to approximately $4,000
this year. In 1920 a total Of 56S, 1873
automobile licenses were issued for
all classes of cars and this year the
total will reach 100000. A great deal
OF this, OF course, is due to the natural
growth of the automobile business,
but a large percentage is also due to
the fact hat the activity OF automo-
bile inspectors has resulted in almost
a 100 per cent registration of cars.

Another experiment in centraliza-
ton tried during the past yea and
a half by the Secretary Of State Of
Illinois is compiling every week
of the numbers and descriptions of
automobiles which have been stolen
anywhere in the state. These are
mimeographed and mailed to every
sheriff and police chief to aid him
in detecting stolen automobiles. The
system is proving very successful and
has resulted i'm the return of scores
Of stolen cars. The number Of stolen
cars are reported directly to the Secre-
tary of State by the local sheriff or
police officer as soon as possible after
the theft.

In most states the administration
OF automobile laws has been placed
in the hands of the Secretary Of
State, but he has been given no
power to enforce observance. This
is left entirely to local police and
sheriffs.
In Illinois we have just concluded
very successfully an experiment,
which seems to prove beyond ques-
ton that the state official who Ii
censes automobiles and administers
automobile laws should have police
power so far as automobile laws are
concerned.
For some five or six years we ex-
investigators. These were responsible
citizens in each community who, be-
ing drivers Of automobiles themselves,
were interested in seeing automobile
laws obeyed. A badge to be worm on
the radiator of the car and a certifi-
cate of appointment were given those
who would accept voluntarily this re-
sponsibility, and some good was &C
complished in this wey. The volun-
teer inspectors, however, had no police
power. They could only report viola
tons to local authorities and in the
end the degree of enforcement in the
automobile laws depended entirely
Upon the attitude Of the sheriff, chief
of police or mayor.
Investigations showed thatthousands
Of dollars which should have come
into the state treasury in the form
of automobile and chauffers' license
fees was not being collected and that
traffic laws frequently were ignored
While in some communities there was
scarcely any violations OF the law, in
other communities there was the
grossest laxiness.
In view Of this position, the Iast
legislature passed a law permitting
the Secretary of State to appoint
State automobile inspectors invested
with power to make arrests for viola.
tion of the automobile or traffic laws
of the state. Under this law, 25 in.
spectors were appointed.
These inspectors are costing the
state for salary and expense less than
$4,000 per annum and by their eff
forts they have increased the returns
from automobile license fees by at
least a quarter of a million a year.
In nthor Nunrhc thnu haun mold fnr
themselves five times over merely in
the collection of fees.
But the efforts Of the inspectors
are not confined to this one activity.
They have aided very materially in
increasing the safety Of travel on the
highways Of the state by enforcing
traffic laws and headlight laws.
Illinois has 102 counties, so that it
has been necessary to give each of
the rs inspectors four or five counties
to look after. The inspector cannot
hope to cover this large territory ad'
equately by individual effort. He gets
in touch with sheriffs, chiefs of
police and mayors of the territory
under his jurisdiction and secures
their cooperation. In this way uni
formity of regulation is maintained
and few violators escape punishment.
Where there are State Police this
work perhaps coult be left to them
but the experiment in Illinois has
proved very conclusive that there
should be some state authority tC
