WALL STREET FARMER FINED

iGranville Moody, the wealthy wall street farmer, was fined by S. C. Irwin, Justice of the Peace, $1 end cost the amount of $9.50, for failing to have a license plate on his automobile. The offender was arrested by Policeman John Richard and the prosecution was in charge of Attorney Charles M. Sands, deputy state s attorney. After paying his fine Mr. Moody remarked to Prosecutor Sands that he thought they were hard up for a little money, or words to that effect, and the attorney suggested that they had been prettey lenient with Mr. Moody as he was liable to a fine each and every day he had driven his car since January 1, 1919, and that 'possibly there would be more money to pay if the law was not better respected in the future. The Republican endorses the action of the charged with the duty of enforcing the law and is heartily in favor of treating all offended of the law alike and not grant special consideration and immunities to persons on account of the possession of much wealth.
