Murine, as senator In the state legislature. Is the father of the 85 automobile license fee bill, finally passed and In effect for the first time this year. Predicted by antag onists as a measure that would de stroy the security of the state's high way bonds, the $5 license fee in Its first year has resulted In an Increase of 60,000 auto licenses on the state's rolls and highway bonds are not only at par but drawing a premium. Senator Dunne Is also responsible for the standardization of butter, re cently in effect over the state, and a measure .that Is doing Immeasur able good to the dairy Industry. "The recovery and regeneration of Oregon depends upon outside money," said Senator Dunne here today. "When this state gets lteelf in shape to attract outside capital to the many natural advantages which It has. Just so quickly will we gain new Industry and new development as well as help to our present Indus tries. And as a result we shall progress in payrolls, employment and general happiness."
