According to this state law. the auto owners must pay for a special license to operate cars, the price being graduated according to the size and power of the car, which would be perfectly satisfactory provided the moneyg se secured would apply to the betterment of Oregon's roads. As It is' the moneys go to tho slow to dig up this amount knowing that the roads will receive not aa lota of the amounts so given to the state. Considerable correspondence' has been going on between local deal ers, and the secretary of state over this matter, and unless some one makes a test case, of the law it is lilcely that the auto dealers and auto owners will have to continue to do nate to the general funds of the gtate for the privilege of running an auto mobile. .; , ...,.!.,.?. :..
