Secretary of State Says No Option Except to Strictly Enforce Provisions of Law. SALEM. Or., June 16. (Special.) Legislators who had anything to do with framing the so-called operators' vehicle license law passed at the spe cial session of the lawmakers last January are doomed for a "panning at the hands of the women of Ore gon aa soon as these fair drivers learn that under the provisions of the act they are required to disclose to the secretary of state the place of their birth, age and other rather personal information not asked in any other statute now in force in this state. At the time the Oregon election laws were compiled, there was con siderable discussion among the legis lators as to whether the women should be' compelled to disclose their ages. The women objected strenu ously, and finally the act was so framed that In registering and voting the fair electors simply declare that they are over the age of 21 years. Under the law requiring all drivers of motor vehicles In Oregon to ob tain a license, the legislators, how ever, thought fit to disregard the long established courtesy. "While ray sympathy is with the women, says bam A. Kozer, secre tary of etate, "the law requiring wo men to give their ages Is. plain and I have no option other than enforcing the provisions of the act to the letter." The secretary of state today re ceived the first applications for op erators' licenses, A. H. Lindbeck of Salem, being the first applicant. Stephen A. Stone, a so of Salem, filed application No. 2. Application blanks are now being sent to all motor-vehicle owners in Oregon for their convenience in ap plying for motor-vehicle operators' licenses, which the Law, in effect July 1, 1920, requires of every person who operates a motor vehicle in this state, except licensed chauffeurs. This law also prohibits the driving of motor vehicle under any circum stances by persons less than 16 years of age or by persons who are men tally Incompetent or physically In capacitated, as the law defines. viewpoint John McCormacic makes mighty poor "copy."
