Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you

ABOUT THOSE AUTO LICENSES
During the past week the citizens of Oregon have been
treated to another of those rapidly-becoming-famous Meier-
Hoss debates all because both men apparently wanted to
do something about making automobile licenses easier to
finance, yet without being able to get together on a method.
And of course there was the usual bickering, with the people
of the state either amused or chagrined, depending upon the
viewpoint, j.
But now, with the war clouds about to dissolve temporarily,
Mr.. Motorist can look forward to very little beyond the two
weeks moratorium, granted by the governor. It is barely
possible that the moratorium might be extended, but after
all, when the extensions finally expire, the same amount of
money will be required to buy the license; and the only alter
native will be to put up the car.
There are thousands of auto drivers in the state this year
"who are finding it difficult to accumulate enough ready
cash to pay for their licenses under the present system. Much
has been said alxmt the necessity of license relief for farmers
who have to go long distances to sell their produce and buy
supplies, and for men who can find work only at considerable
distances from their homes.
But there is another class, too, that needs relief motorists
who use their cars largely for pleasure and do most of their
driving in the fair-weather months. However, unless the
governor extends his moratorium to the first of September
and then allows motorists to buy three-quarter licenses,
(which is very, very unlikely) there is in sight no help of a
lasting nature for them.
The principal difficulty, it apears, is the fact that license
renewals are due in July instead of January. Under the old
system the financially embarrassed motorist could leave his
car in the garage during January, February and March, and
then buy a license for the remaining three-quarters of the
year. Or he might even wait until July and then crowd
his vacation and pleasure trips into the last six months of
the year, with only half the usual license cost.
isut now it can't be done! Ostensibly the date of renewals
was changed to free the motorist from the burden of buying
a license at the lime when Christmas purchases have drained
his pocketbook. But it seems likely that the real reason was
to increase tax receipts by getting the motorist at the middle
of the year when the use of his car is most indispensable,
and making him pay a full year's tax even though he may
use his car only six months.
rt any raie, me situation imiK.s uie slale ollicials in their
efforts to aid the motorist, and the motorist is the goat. It
is now up to the legislature to give this matter thoughtful
consideration and settle this license problem once and for all.
It may be that the nominal license fee and an increased gas
tax will prove more equitable and efficient than our present
system. But almost any policy would be better than this
yearly bickering and uncertainly.

Emotions, not Judgment and reason

At least there Is no hypocrisy about
the Democratic platform. It does not
try to straddle. What Is gives Is

Is not satisfied with awaiting the re
peal by constitutional processes; it

not mistake the meaning of the
Democrats. They stand for repeal;
they stand for quick license of sale of
booze; they stand for restoration of
the legalized liquor truffle.
The spectacle at Chicago will ex-
cltc the enthusiastic acclaim of the
liquor Interests, of those who expect
to profit by the return of saloons
whether under that name or under
another, of those who want abund
ant liquor to consume. The Demo
crats have definitely gone wet and
the pious phrasing of promise of ef
fort to restrain the return of the sa

have gone wet, and In so doing they

Is a difference between the Mepubll- !

Just a few weeks njjo Anici iciin hankers and some alarm
ists in congress quaked and quaked with every shipment of
Trench gold from New York to Paris. All manner of evils,
from money debasement to economic collapse, were imagined
if the recall of this foreign j;old continued.
The efflux of precious metal with the French label on it
continued unabated. In fact it fled the country so fast it set
new records and made history. And with what results'.'
Did the American dollar follow the lead of the ruble, mark
and franc? Was the United States thrust into the chaos of
a money panic? No! The dollar came back stronger than
ever and new confidence in the strength of the nation's cur-'
rency was born.
So the bankers who had been viewing with alarm the out
flow of gold suddenly decided it was a good thing for the
country and began advocating the sending home of the last
bar of French gold. It seems that the United States wiil do
more business with France when all this gold gets home and
goes into various lines of business expansion.
Of such stuff are panics made. Someone sees a shadow,
sets his imagination and tongue to work, and everyone knows
the rest. And yet not all those who cry "Wolf" are fools.
