OFFICIALS WHO
USE RECOVERED
AUTOS COMMIT
EMBEZZLEMENT

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 15.-Officials
who take confiscated automobiles for
their personal use are guilty Of en-
bezzlement and should be punished
under the law. declares Sveinbjorn
Johnson in the biennial report Of the
attorney general office.
After making recommendations to
the legislature for improving and
Strengthening the seized car law, the
attorney general says:
"The law should be made clear, al
though believe there is a separate
statute that now governs this Of
Tense, that officers who use these
cars for their own personal use to
any great extent should be held guilty
Of embezzlement. It is. one Of the
great scandles of recent times that
during the year 1921 cars that were
seized and which should have been
prom mptly sold and the proceeds
turned over to the school fund, were
used by private individuals, and in
some instances by officials, both state
and county, for their own uses and
purposes with the result that they
greatly deprecated and in some cases
brought little or nothing into the
school fund. This practice W as
stopped whea we took office. This
is gross breach of trust and un-
doubtedly comes, within the en-
bezzlement statute now existing, but
nevertheless it ought to be made
clear that this is, embezzlement and
! am confident that these cars would
then be stored and would be prompt
1y sold to the advantage of the school
fund.-"
Should Define Law
Mr.. johnson recommended that the
legislature take steps to clearly and
fully define the procedure for the
sale Of seized automobiles. He said
it also "should be made clear how a
seized car shall be dealt with in
places to bail and afterward forfeited
same by failure to appear" For
feiting Of bail is equivalent to a plea
Of guilty, he said, and the "vehicle
should be Immediately sold in the
same manner as vehicles in the cases
where the owner or the driver OF de-
fendant has pleaded guilty or has
been found guilty by a jury"
"The procedure for the sale of
seized cars ought to be approximately
the same as for the sale of property
covered by chattle mortgage" he
said. 'The time should not exceed
two or three weeks and red tape
should be eliminated as much as pos
sible and the law should provide that
in the event Of a sale, when the law
has been fully complied with as to
advertising and the like, that the pur-
chases at the sale receives a perfect
and indefeasible title to the property
Notice of such sale should be ad.
vertised two, perhaps not more htar
three weeks, in the legal paper in the
county, and the sale should take place
as sale of chattles in case of fore.
closure. I make these suggestions
because, under the present system
the red tape is So burdensome and sc
costly that the property depreciates
greatly and the amount Of money
turned in to the school fund is great
ly lessened because of expense i,
publication fees, because Of heav!
storage fees, and the like, upon th'
property while awaiting SALE"
