State House, Salem. (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

favored a license reduction and Stewart showed how any

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

This led the house committee members to' asking ques
