herein imposed.
Every owner of a vehicle of the second division who
elects to pay on a mileage weight tax basis and who operates
the vehicle within this State, shall file with the Secretary
of State a bond in the amount of $500. The bond shall be in
a form approved by the Secretary of State and with a surety
company approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance to
transact business in this State as surety, and shall be
conditioned upon such applicant's paying to the State of
Illinois all money becoming due by reason of the operation of
the second division vehicle in this State, together with all
