State Law Analyzed for Benefit of
- Agents Using Special Permits
in Portland.
Any legitimate automobile dealer or
salesman is entitled to use a dealer's
auto license tag on any ear which he
is holding- for sale, providing reason
able efforts are being made to sell
the machine In question, according to
the decision announced by Municipal
'5
i d
Judge Rossman yesterday morning injjT
settlement of the controversy grow-(
lug- out of the wholesale arrest byJ(
the police of agents driving machines K
with dealers' licenses. R
Nine men, arrested driving machines S
with dealers" license tags, appeared i rA
In the mifnicinal' court yesterday to , Ta
answer to charges of violating the
motor vehicle laws and having im
proper license tags, and the hearing
assumed more the nature of a con
ference between the judge and the
dealers in the effort to get a satis
factory settlement of the difficulties.
The judge had previously held a con
ference with Cantain Lewis of the
traffic department, and his ultimate
decision was one which was apparent
ly entirely satisfactory to all concerned.
. Salramen Mnat Drive Dealer Cars.
The judge specified in his decision
that the car bearing a dealers li
cense tag must at all times be driven
by an auto salesman or dealer and
that at no time should such a license
tag be attached to a service car.
"If at any time an auto salesman
abandons his work of selling auto
mobiles to engage in other pursuits,
even though he should confine those
pursuits to the evening hours after j
his day's work of selling automobiles
might be completed, he is not entitled
to use a car bearing a dealer's license
while engaging in such variations
from his general occupations," the
luclire declared.
"For instance, if a man engages In
celling real estate during the eve
Dings or takes up a position teaching j
In a night school, he cannot lane
prospects out to view property or go
to his night school in a macnine Dear-
lng a dealer s license.
The judge also declared that the
construction of the law prohibited a
dealer loaning the machine, with
dealer's license, to his wife for the
purpose of making a shopping tour.
He said that the machine must be
driven by a dealer or salesman.
Gainful Puranlta Barred.
A dealer might drive his family to
a show or about the city in the eve
nings in his car with a dealer's li
cense tag. the judge declared, ac
cording to his construction of the law.
He said he could see nothing oppos
ing the use of the car for innocent
pleasure, particularly evenings, pro
Tiding the dealer or salesman was
driving and he was not engaging in
gainful pursuit other than the sale
of machines. He said he opposed too
Struct interpretation of the law, other
wise there would be no value to the
use of a dealer's license.
The judge said that his interpreta
tion of the law would not prohibit
the use of the dealer's license on
demonstration cars, as such machines
were used In the consummation of
sales and were ultimately sold.
Two of the men appearing in mu
nicipal court yesterday were arres.ted
for having dealers license tags on
service cars, a use of the tag contrary
to the decision of Judge Rossman.
The judge, however, declined to set
fines in any of the cases, preferring
to give the two a chance to apply for
regular license tags.
Those who appeared In municipal
court were George V. Adams. R. O.
Burnett. E. D. Baker. R. Jackson. E.
A. Burness, TV. M. Thompson, G. H.
Gates. H. W. Lyon and H. A. Aucpach.
Ten arrests were made yesterday
by Patrolman Leavens on charges of j
violating the state automobile law,
the majority of these Involving
charges of failing to have proper li
cense tags. Those arrested are C. X.
Johnson, student; Ralph Heimucker,
brakeman: A. Foster, machinist; R. E.
Finch, salesman: Robert F. Maguire,
attorney; A. H. Fries, auto dealer;
X. C. Marlell. truck driver; Mrs.
Mary Kaseberg, saleswoman; E. A.
Olson, salesman, and W. A. Durham,

BY IiOCAIj MEN.
Oregon Delegation Urged to Enact
Measure Providing for Reason
able Return on Investment. .
David T. Honeyman. chairman of
th. tranannpratinn pnmmittPA of t1A
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday rec- ) (5
ommended to the board of directors K
that the members of the body be
asked to telegraph members of the
Oregon delegation views on the Im
portance of speedy enactment of sound
railroad legislation. The directors con
curred and the letters will go for
ward today. At the same time the
state chamber of commerce is send
ing the letter to member bodies.
The position of the chamber Is set
forth as follows in recommending the
points deemed of greatest importance:
"L'rge a rate-making rule that will
stabilize railroad credit and attract
new capital. This rule should have no
hard and fast limitations or guaran
tees other than to provide for fair
return on Invested capital after tak
ing Into consideration reasonable cost
of maintenance and operation. Includ
ing labor, depreciation and taxes, all
to be, permitted under reasonable
rates to be fixed by the Interstate
commerce commission. The strong
western roads upon which Oregon de
pends should be encouraged to use
their best enterprise and efficiency.
It is therefore important that it be
made clear that section 8 of the sen
ate bill is not favored by the indus
trial and business enterprises of Oregon."
