SOLUNS CHANGE OPINIONS
Vehicle Registration Systems in Oili
er Coast States found to Be
Too Expensive.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 25.
(Special.) Although there seemed
some inclination early in the present
session of the Legislature to attempt
revolutionary changes in the system of
handling automobile license tags in
Oregon, this sentiment seems to have
dwindled practically to nothing.
It seems extremely probable now
from expressions of members of the
Legislature, that only the rrost minor
amendments will be offered to the plan
for the administration of the motor ve
hicle laws. This does not include the
probable doubling of the automobile
license tax, which, in itself, is not con
sidered a wholly administrative propo
sition. X
The automobile registration depart
ment of Secretary Olcott's office has se
cured a large amount of data showing
the manner of administration o license
laws in other states, and, according
to word which has been received in that
office, the system in vogue here ap
parently has the stamp of approval of
officials in charge of registration de
partments in other states and efforts
now are being made to copy the Ore
gon Dlan.
California to Change System.
California, it is said, is attempting
to put through the plan for the annual
license tag. such as is used in Oregon,
the Motor Vehicle Owners' Associatfcn
of that state having pronounced the
permanent registration system a fail
tire. A bill to abolish the system, now
In the House of the California Legisla
ture, states the permanent registration
system is unsatisfactory and unwork
able, police officers of that state are
also protesting against the permanent
registration system, stating that It
makes it practically Impossible to
check up on stolen cars.
Some of the members of the Oregon
Legislature, who are advocates of the
Washington plan, have now expressed
themselves as opposed to it, since a
practical demonstration has shown it
to be more expensive than the Oregon
plan. A proposal was adopted for ex
perimentation in Washington by plac
ing little markers on tags to obviate
the necessity of purchasing new li
cense tags.
Markers on Tags Costly.
A statement of Secretary of State
Howell, of Washington, says that it Ts
now plain that this plan of service has
already ' shown that the cost will be
far greater than last year, the markers
costing more than the tags themselves,
and he also states that the clerk hire
will be more than last year.
Secretary Olcott also lias letters from
representatives of the leading under
writers' associations who have exam
ined the automobile registry systems in
all the western states. They univer
sally pronounce the Oregon plan the
best in vogue. Indications are that the
Oregon system of motor vehicle regis
tration will be virtually copied in a
majority of the ftatcs during the next
few years.
Opinions in other states, which have
been placed before a number of the
members who had early In the session
expressed their belief that there should
be some changes in the plan of admin
istration, have resulted in a complete
change of view.

THOUSANDS IN BRAZIL DIE I
CEMETERIES CONGESTED BY 1N'
FLUEXZA VICTIMS.
Newspaper Received by Hood River
Man Asserts Epidemic Worse
Than Yellow Fever.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Jan. 25. (Spe
cial.) Spanish influenza is taking a
heavy toll In South America, accord
ing to newspapers from Buenos Aires,
received by Alexander Gillespie, Just
returned here from the Argentine cap
ital tfi make his home. In the seaport
towns of Brazil the influenza eclipses
the epidemics of yellow fever of a score
of years ago.
The following are excerpts of a dis
patch to the Buenos Aires paper from
Sao Paulo, Brazil:
"The toll taken in human lives has
been appalling. Rio Janeiro, which has
received the brunt of the attack in Its
severer form, has witnessed a return
of the time when yellow fever devas
tated the city. The burden of work
thrust on cemeteries has been made so
great that the electric light companies
have equipped the cemeteries with arc
lights in order that the gruesome work
of grave digging may be pursued
throughout the night. To add to the
horrors of the visitation the food and
drug supply broke down.
"Across the bay, at Nitcheroy, the
task of interment had to be performed
by prisoners, working under guard,
from the local penitentiary.
"Out of all the chaos one bright fact
looms large: that the wealthier people
are alive to their duties. Subscriptions
opened by the newspapers to provide
for needs of the poor are meeting with
an excellent response."
