Effort to Have Existing Auto License . Laws Changed Also Started. ' Two well defined campaigns were put on foot at a meeting of the Union County Motor club directors this week. One is to start a -movement looking toward the elimination of appointment of a score or more of road supervisors cud place the superintendency of the roads in the hands of one competent person. The other was thu opening tut in a movement to have the state 1hw8 changed so that th fees for li censes SMI revert to thi3 county road tuna of tne county in wmcfl me tees ere collected instead of going to Salem to maintain a fashionable corps of of fers and appointments: According to book of automobile registrations compiled by the secretary of state and received by County Assessor Clark there are over 6000 machines regis ter d at an average of $4.00 per. There ara about 200 In Union county alone and if this sum less a small percent a tee to keep up the cost of licences and snll Incidental expenses, applied on Union county roads, the results would te beneficial to all. As it now Is the Cbhntv tr?ts practically nothing of a sum of money this year amounting over $24,000. The law is all wror agree the voters of this county and a ft tenuous effort to have It remedied will be put forth. The club directors are united in their verdict that the d's- tvlct supervisors would be eliminate 1 for a more concerted supervision that will spell batter results and less ex- Jl0P8t.

" The fact, that Portland's percentage' was less Thursday night than it was Thursday morning because it lost the morning game and won the second of the double header has beten the cause of much penciling among rabid local fans. Had it been the other way about winning the morning game and los ing the afternoon . game tne percen tage at night would have been a frac tion of a point more than fn the morn ing. The situation is hard to state, and considerable figuring, has been dor.! by amateur statlclans because of it. ' ; . ''"':' ' WORLD'S BASEBALL SERIES OF FORMER TEARS. $ '. ' 1 ' .
