The Associated PressHensed wire report to Tho Observer on April C states, In n story from Hal em, that "motor buses nre exempt from any license fee whatever under- nn in itiative hill filed here yesterday lo ir. H. Ktnllnrd, of Portland, Who at tempts to correct defects discovered in his bill previously filed, design ed to reduce automobile license fees to a flat $3." ' The story also stated that this defect also occurred In tho first tftnllard bill ns well as In tho In lander hill. "Fhould the Ktallard bill (for $:t automobile license fees) pass tho only feo left, for buses to pay, would be the threq-f mirths mill per passenger mile tax lnvlert by house bill 413 of the 192G legis lative session. . . . Since the mea sure provides for tho repeal of all parts of acts conflicting with It here is some opinion hero that ll may repeal portions of house bill 4J3, particularly with reference to certain refunds allowed trucks" the story concluded. Many Ohjcrl Throuchout the state a "howl" of protest has arisen in reference t" the $3 license plan and in I'niou county, particularly, there has been much discussion. The granges of thn county and the labor unions of the county, consisting of the property-owning farmers nnd the workmen in the cities and towns, have gone on record as being solid ly against the $3 p)un. State hlgh woy officials have olready taken steps to hold up a Isrge part of Its road-building program until after i vote lstaken on the $3 bill. bounty officials throughout the state are vlsloning the lux und road prohlrm thut would result if the $3 plan becomes a law with deep concern. Actually, It Is said, the passing of the S3 automobile license hill would prevent practically all new state highway projects, u lurge part of county road projects, and would cut the maintenance to such a point that the present highways would dteerlorute In a number of years to a par with dirt roads lin ens the property owners of the state dug deeper into their pockets for the millions of dollars that would ' he needed to protect the tens nf millions that have already heen put Into the state and coun fifj Im Parts YOUR CAR is only oh good an its parts THAT'S WHY- You can keep your car in good condi tion by using- . , Genuine Factory Replacement No Delay ' , No Waiting We have them in stock , JACK ALLEN SUPPLY COMPANY N E W and critics say 'two years ahead' X ' BoJy b PlilMT - ' , ' i "Two ytr ahead In appcaranc and mechanfcally," aiya H.
