     181.30 Duty of Department of Transportation. 


    Any officer of any railroad company in the state violating 
 any of the provisions of section 181.29 is guilty of a 
 misdemeanor.  It shall be the duty of the state Department of 
 Transportation, upon complaint properly filed with it alleging a 
 violation of section 181.29, to make a full investigation in 
 relation thereto, and for such purpose it shall have the power 
 to administer oaths, interrogate witnesses, take testimony and 
 require the production of books and papers, and if such report 
 shall show a violation of the provisions of section 181.29, the 
 Department of Transportation shall, through the attorney 
 general, begin the prosecution of all parties against whom 
 evidence of such violation is found; but section 181.29 shall 
 not be construed to prevent any other person from beginning 
 prosecution for the violation of the provisions thereof.
