(By Mail) .There has been a lot of shying around about the licensing: of the used car. Po litically ambitious brothers have stoutly acclaimed in the true Ike Patterson manner of two years ago, that the old car should not be subjected to the same license as the new car.; Applause followed. So much applause in fact that some of the politicians saw a chance to capitalize it and get into the limelight with both feet. Governor Pierce, after hearing a lot of such stuff, d'j cided to appoint a special committee to go into the matter. You know that is the natural thing to do when things look a Jittle complex just name a special committee Olcott did; it, and other governors have done it, so Governor Pierce followed the path of least resistance and did likewise. JChariic Hall, senator from Coos Bay, is quite a firm advocate of the reduced license, so is Joe Dunn, the ice cream man of Portland and both' were on the committee. But there were a 'couple of others on that committee B'.'WMiU, the stTOtiWI"Ward"of CMWliI'iAfil'flmi Stowart, the Scotchman of Corvallis who used to play a bagpipe when he lived in Fossil and ran a newspaper.

Jim Stewart, a brother riicinber of the roni mittee, followed him and chewed him up blood raw. Dunn favored a license reduction and Stewart showed how any ; recommendation for a reduction was purely a wrong: atti 1 tudc and could not be done for the highway bonds and interest must be paid. V. B. Dennis had a reduction planned which means no reduction at all, for it provides fot'a 10 per cent cut in licenses on cars five years old. Jifti Stewart showed this up as plain as Mt. Emily Kt.inds out in the morning sun and urged the committee to. shout squarely and not try to' fool anyone with such a ridicu lous, reduction. This led the house committee members to' asking ques tions and whrn the smoke had cleared the situation was just what many of us knew it would be:, namely, th;;t the .State cannot reduce automobile licenses and play fairly.
