Tn an effort to have the new Oregon law requiring - the examination ' and licensing of automotive mechanics de clared unconstitutional. M. I. Dewey, mechanic, has filed suit in the United States district court. Dewey's com plaint . asks that the law be set aside . because it Is in violation of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution,, in that it Infringes upon personal liberties. . The members of the board of auto mobile mechanic examiners created when the law was passed by the last leg islature and District Attorney Walter Kvans " are made defendants in the trial suit. Dewey declares, contradict ing the legislature, that his practice of his trade does not endanger the safety - of anyone and that H cannot be a 'mis demeanor for him to carry on his trade. Under th enactment of the legislature all automobile mechanics would be ex antined and licensed according to the degree - of their proficiency and to re pair automobiles without such a license would open a mechanic to a fine of not more than $100. Funds to support the .work of the . examining board would be obtained through a $5 license fee.

Keeley, Portland attorney, hat j declared that , if she ' accepted the cor bensation award made by the state ind stria! ac cident comtnisBion ( he s would, jsee to it that she did hot get .a cent, was the testimony of Mrs. Edna Blanche Dib- bern-of Portland In the hearing before Judge Bingham - of the : Marion county circuit court wherein Keeley waa try ing to compel the accident commission to bring suit to. recover $4000 awarded Mrs. Dibbem following the accidental death of hers husband In the Grant Smith-Porter shipyard at Portland. Keeley took the witness stand In his own behalf and was forbidden to argue the case on objection of Assistant At torney General Benjamin, representing the commission. : Keeley, on the witness stand, alleged collusion between the com mission and the shipyard officials. He admitted an Interest in the case, but declared It to be a minus interest, ' in asmuch as he had agreed to release his attachment suit wherein he is attempt ing to collect; $1600 attorney fees from Mrs, Dibbern in case the commission brought, the suit to recover the fund. W. A.

Mr. Holman questions the wisdom of Mr. Martin's logic but says he Is willing to abide by his decision and let results speak for themselves. ' " ; "Future responsibility Mr.- Holman explained, -means the county must buy or rent cars for : the use of county of ficials. r - HOTT BISAGKEES HtITH AUDITOB Commissioner Ralph Hoyt disagrees with the ruling of-the county auditor and stated that in his opinion an ac ceptance of it would cause an increase of the expenditures to the taxpayers that he could not Justify irrespective of the fact that the ultimate blame would rest with Mr. Martin If such an Increase was "caused.; "if ' ' The bills which Mr.? Martin returned with his refusal to pay were ror; ruei Used by the county . commissioners in their privately owned machines while be ing driven In the transaction or county business. 1 Mr. Martin holds; that It Is difficult to determine , the " amount of mile age actually covered by the machines on county business and for this reason denies the commissioners the, right to navment for the supplies. The same nil Ing is made to apply s to the car owned by District Attorney Evans but used by him in his official capacity; as weU as for his private use. " : CHEAPER I FOR COITNTY The commissioners contend that it is cheaper to buy their own cars and have the county furnish gasoline ana u man to be obliged to rent cars when needed or have the county buy them outright. They object to Mr. Martin applying the rule only to the commissioners and not to other departments or the county. S. A H. Green Stamps for cash. Hol man Fuel Co.. Main 353. A-3353.

Roberg. secretary of the Oregon state board of health, aspire to the addition of a second "lucrative" office- to the burden which he already bears, or was it merely idle curiosity which prompted him to inquire of the attorney-general's office as to whether the-secretaryship of the state ' board of health and the venereal disease officer of the United States were both "lucrative .offlcest In an opinion prepared by Attorney General Brown. Monday. Roberg was in formed that,, inasmuch aa the federal of fice carries with it compensation to the extent of $200 a month, It would be re garded as rather 'lucrative, and the state board of health Jod is looKed upon in the same light. , ' ;A state law prohibits , state official from occupying two "lucrative" positions at the same time. ; Alliance of Italy, Germany Feared New York, July 15.
