COURT ORDER WILL
 LESSEN GREAT EVIL
 IN USE OF VEHICLES
Supreme Court Decrees That Company Must Be DiIigent Over Use of Car or
 Be Loser
By FRED H. GQRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age Herald, 22I-2 First National Bank Building


 221-2 First National Bank Building Montgomery, June 10.-(Special.) ) Radical changes must be made by automobile companies in Alabama in the methods of selling motor vehicles on credit and persons who desire to use motor cars in the transportation of liquor will soon find that their credit rating with automobile com panies has been suddenly reduced as a result of the decision of the su- preme court Thursday in the case of the city of Montgomery ex rel Lud- low Elmore, city attorney, vs. Harris Leveson ct al.
 Automobile companies cannot any longer sell their vehicles to bootleg gers on credit and accept mortgages. Under the decision of the supreme court in this case they must use due diligence in determining whether or not the purchaser intends to use the car for Illegal transportation of liq- uor If the company has assurance that an illegal purpose is in the mind of the purchaser al the time 1t can- not claim prior light under the mort gage when the car has been seized.
 Law Was Evaded
 It has been common talk in Mont gomery for many months that boot leggers had found means of avoid ing the confiscaton sections of the bootleggers would purchase cars and give mortgages to the automobile companies, thus protecting the cars in the event of 'seizures.f
 This must be stopped under the latest decision. The Stallworth Motor Car company sold a car to Beveson and the next day 1t was seized with load of liquor. The city of Mont gamery proposed the condemnation of the car but the company filed claim under a mortgage, contending that the property belonged to 1t as the full purchase price had not been paid. The circuit court condemned the car with the provision that Stall- worth's interest must be paid out o. the proceeds.
 Not Diligent
 The supreme court held that Stall worth had no, interest in the car be- cause due diligence was not used in determining whether or not the car would be used for the Illegal trans portation of liquor. The decision was one of the most positive rendered by the supreme court on this subject in many months, The court stated spe- officially that the Staliworth Motor Car company was in business not block from the place of business of Leveson and could have known fog. what purpose the car would be used had the proper Investigation been made.
 The decision probably means that the financial responsibility of boot leggers will not be sufficient when they desire to purchase cars. They will be forced to pay the full pur- chase price and take all the risk in the future.

 'T believe the plan for the orderly marketing of cotton i'm Alabama is sound and merits the support of business men and bankers. believe the farmers of this state can succeed with this great marketing project, and l urge every farmer who expects to grow cotton in 1922 to study carefully the cotton marketing plan now being advanced. When this has been done, the soundnesS and prncticabiIity of the plan will be readily seen.
