NOW EFFECTIVE
Secretary of State Gives
Information Concern
ing Enforcement.
Sam A. Koscr, secretary of state
this week sent out a statement to
law enforcement officers and other
officials of towns and counties of the
state, concerning the workings of the
the motor vehicle license law, and
demanding its strict enforcement.
The statement follows:
Early in November, 1925, the sec
retary of state mailed an application
blank to each owner of a licensed
motor vehicle in' Oregon, together
with printed instructions and other
necessary information for use m
making applications for 1926 motor
vehicle license. This action was with
a view of facilitating the work of
the motor vehicle division of the
department and also of relieving the
sheriffs of the counties of the state,
authorised to issue license tags, of
unnecessary demands being made up
on them around January 1, 1926, for
such temporary license tags, as well
as a saving in the expense of fur
nishing these temporary license tag?.
In placing the applciation blanks
in the hands of motor vehicle owners
such a long time before January 1,
1926, there should be no excuses for
requests for temporary license tags
to cover the operation of motor ve
hides which were duly licensed in
1925. The sheriffs are asked to re
fuse all such requests. It is sug
gested that temporary, license tags
be issued by the sheriffs for only
such motor vehicles as are p'urchased
on or after January 1, 1926, and for
which applications for license there
for are submitted with the statutory
fees through the sheriffs for trans
mittal to the secretary of state and
accompanied by applications for cer
tificates of title showing conclusively
that the ownership of the motor ve
hicle is in the name of the person
applying for the 1926 license.
On July 1, 1925, the certificate of
title law went into effect. This law
. requires that license plates can not
be issued by the secretary of state
or any other officer, unless applica
tion is first made for a certificate
of title and a certificate of title is
sued for such motor vehicle by the
secretary of state. About 85 per cent
of the motor vehicles were licensed
in Oregon before July 1, 1925, and
certificates of title were not required
therefor up to that time. For all
motor vehicles licensed after July 1
1925, certificates of title 'were issued
with the license plates. Many motor
vehicle owners who secured licenses
for their cars before July 1, 1925,
have since that date applied for and
secured certificates of title.
As January 1, 1926, is near at hand
and many motor vehicle owners whose
cars were licensed before July
1925, have not up to this time ap
plied for and secured certificates o:
title, license plates for the year 1926
can not be issued in such cases un
til the owners of such cars apply
for and receive certificates of titl
Consequently when an applicant for
a 1926 motor vehicle license pre
sents himself to the sheriff with h
application for 1926 license he must
exhibit to the sheriff either a cent
ficate of title" or the "certificate and
receipt of registration" issued at the
time and in conjunction with such
certificate of title, as evidence that
such motor vehicle owner has com
plied with the law requiring him to
secure a certificate of title for his
motor vehicle. In those cases where
no such evidence is presented by an
applicant for a 1926 license such ap
plieant must make application for
eetificate of title therefor at th
same time and attach to his applies
tion for 1926 license. The sheriffs
are asked to include all such case;
in a separate group of transactions
from those applications for 1926 li
censes for which certificates of title
have already been secured by th
owners of the vehicles described i
the respective applications. The cer
tificate of title law provides that th
owner of a motor vehicle who shall
. operate the same in Oregon under
license number of this state after
July 1, 1925, without first securing
a certificate of title shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and punished as
provided in such act.
Owners of motor vehicles licensed
under the laws of other states or
countries and heretofore granted
Oregon visitors' permits which ex
pire by limitation or otherwise De
eember 31, 1925, should be required
to secure 1926 Oregon licenses for
such motor vehicles in all cases where
it is evident that the motor car own
er during the life of such visitor1
permit has taken up residence in Ore
gon by the acceptance of gainful em
ployment and the removal of hi
family into the state. Application
for 1 120 licenses to be made as in
the case of an original registration
that is application for license, must
be accompanied by application for
certificate of title.
I am takirg this opportunity to d
rect your attention to the several
matters herein referred to, in orde
that you may govren your action
accordingly in enforcing the motor
vehicle laws of the stat and espe
cially those laws having to do with
the annual motor vehicle license fee
Attention is also directed to the pro
visions of sections 89 and 40 of the
Oregon motor vehicle laws, the first
vesting all police judges or recorders
of the cities and towns, justices of
the peace and district judges of the
counties and circuit judges with con
current jurisdiction of all violation
of such law, committed within the
respective districts; and the latte
vesting police officers of the cities,
marshals, deputy marshals and watch
men of incorporated towns, sheriffs
and deputy sheriffs of the countiei
and constables of the various di
trirts with full power and authority
within the limits of their Jurisdic
tlons, to arrest any person or per
sona, known personally to any sue
officers to have violated any of the j
provisions of the motor vehicle law.
State traffic officers appointed by
the secretary of state as provided in
section 63 of the motor vehicle law
ave for the purpose of enforcement
of the motor vehicle law the powers
vested by law in peace officers. They
are authorised to exercise such pow-
rs in any portion of the state or any
political subdivision thereof. The
attention of these officers has been
rected to the law defining their
duties and powers and it will be their
polisy to act in accordance with the
uggestions as outlined herein as
they may relate to the operations of
motor vehicles during the period of
congestion around the first of the
year in the issuing of 1926 motor
vehicle licenses.
Special attention is directed to
these provisions at this time in order
that there may be a uniform under
standing mong all peace officers with
respect to the use of 1925 motor ve
hicle license plates on motor vehicles
for a short period after January 1
1926, and it is requested that the
use of the 1925 motor vehicle license
plates be permitted on . such motor
vehicles as the owners thereof have
secured certificates of title therefor
and who have made applications for
1926 licenses until such time as the
1926 licenses are received by such
car owners from the secretary of
state, but only in those cases where
the owners of such motor vehicles
shall produce satisfactory evidence
of having submitted applications for
1926 licenses. Motor car owners who
re found operating their cars after
January 1, 1926, and who have not
made appliction for 1926 licenses will
be doing so in open violation of the
otor vehicle law of the state and
subject themseves to the penalties
imposed thereunder for violations of
such law.
