BANNED BY STATE BAR
SALEM, Ore.. Oct. 11. A demurrer
by Joseph Woerndle, Portland attor
ney facing disbarment proceedings

murrer that allegations in the com
plaint do not constitute grounds for
disbarment. Justice McCourt's opin
ion, on the other hand, read in part:
"An 'attorney who commits per
jury, whether committed inside or
outside of his professional employ
ment, is subject to suspension or dis
barment, wftfiout his having been first

gon $7406 in accrued motor vehicle
license fees for 1920 and 1921, accord
ing to an opinion written yesterday by
I. H. Van Winkle, attorney general,
to Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state.
The city owes the state $3634.50 for
1920 and $3771.50 for 1921.

cured up to that date.
In Portland the suggestion, was
made that the enactment of the 1921
law repealed the law then existing
for licensing and registration of mo
tor vehicles and exempted payment
of the fees.
The city of Portland did not pajf
the license fees for registration of
its motor vehicles during 1920 and
1.21, claiming exemption. The su
preme court held, in the case of the
state vs. W. C. Preston, that the city
must pay and the city then raised the
question of the effect of the 1921 en
actment. The attorney general's opin
ion holds that the 1921 act does not
repeal the previous act.
Rail Wage Disputes
-RIGHT-O
"Who" asked the professor of the
student,' "Was Homer?"
"The guy Babe Ruth knocked out,"
was the reply.
CLEVELAND. O- Oct. 11. Meth
ods of setting wage and working agree
ments between the "big four" trans
portation brotherhoods and the rail
roads have entered a new era, an
if the present course of negotiations
is continued, the country for several
years at least will not be threatened
with a complete -tieup of railroad
transportation through, a concerted
strike of these brofjjtrhpods on all
lines of the nation. T G. Lee, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, said yesterday.
The situation which developed In
1915 as a result of the eight hour
fight and again last fall, when the
trainmen, conductors, engineers and
firemen's brotherhood sent out nation-wide
strike orders, probably will
not again -occur.
