OWNERSHIP CARDS
MUST BE CARRIED
Motorists Must Display Certifi-
Gates When Required

Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry S. Hill
called attention Tuesday to a Law
passed at the last session of the legis
lature requiring all owners of automo-
biles and other motor vehicles to obtain
certificates of title, to be shown when
ever required by state, county and city
officials.
Deputy Hill said instructions had
been sent out to require these certifi-
Gates. 1T was pointed out that any
peace officer has the right to stop an
automobile on the public highway and
demand that it be shown. Certificates
should be obtained when an automobile
license is issued, he added. y
This law should be encouraged by
every automobile owner in Alabama"
he said, 'for it was enacted to prevent
theft Of cars and assist in their recovA
cry when stolen When a theft is re-
ported to the sheriff's office, deputies
have the right to stop any car they may
wish and inspect the owners certifi-
cate. These, certificates are signed
when first obtained, and officers may
require the new owner to compare his
signature with that on his certificate.
1t should be kept with the car, so as
to always be available when called for /"
Automobile owners were warned that
failure to show the certificate ON de-
mand would result in a fine of S25.

WASHINGTON
SIDELIGHTS

When Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin
retired from the Craftsmanship of the
committee investigating the oil scandal
Senator Ladd of North Dakota was
promoted to the schairmanship, and to
fill the vacancy, Senator Spencer OF
Missouri, was appointed.
Since his appointment, Senator Spen-
Ger has been troublemaker on the COM
mittee. He is apparently put of SYM
pathy with the investigation, and in
clashing with the dominant figure, Sen.
ator Walsh Of Montana, has displayed
ugly temper and an actual luminosity.
Had Spencer been member from the
beginning, it is quite evident that much
of what has been disclosed would still
be secret withheld from the American
people.
Spencer is small OF stature, dapper in
appearance, debonair, and pugnacious.
He is smart rather than intelligent, and
has a certain deftness in debate which
might be mistaken for resourceful.
Fundamentally he is republican, and
as such believes that the republican Or
ganization can do no wrong. He OBJ
viously believes that politics is behind
the democrats in their desire that the
entire story of the oil reserves leasing
be laid bare before. the country.
He thinks the investigation has gone
far enough, too far. He WOULD bring
it to a close.
Spencer came to Washington as re-
suit of the republican tide of 1918 which
cost the democrats both houses of Con-
gress. He Immediately became one of
the bitterest of the Wilson fighters.
From early morn to dewy eve he used
his falsetto in chanting his hymn of
hate.
He played conspicuous part in some
of the early scandals which inflicted the
Harding administration. He used all his
power as chairman OF the committee on
elections and privileges to obstruct the
inquiry into the election of former Sena-
tor Newberry of Michigan. During the
inquiry and subsequent debate, former
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, desirious that
justice be done, was baited by Spencer
just as Walsh is in this present sit
uation.
Later on, Spencer induced President
Harding to appoint Abe Goldstein, whom
Senator Harrison of Mississippi, in his
mood, termed "Goldstain, collector of
customs in st. Louis. When the storm
broke, all that Harding could say was
that he had acted on the request of
Spencer.
In respect to the innumerable scandals
in Washington, the average republican
has displayed a willingness that every
thing be done that the democrats sup
posed. Not SO, Spencer. In all the
iniquity, he is exceptionally bold. He
is pugnacious and combative.
