Salem.idr Jan. . 31.--More ihaa 50,000 Oregon automobile owners will be sub ject to. aj-rest nd fine under. the provi sions of the automobile registration law when the .peace officers over the state begin to round up delinquents Tuesday. This Is based on the total registration of last year when 103,000 automobiles bore the Oregon license tag. . It is altogether probable that there are many more cars than that In the state at. this" time subject to the registration law. but not more than 74,000 will .be entitled to use of the public highways after tonight under a strict interpreta tion of the registration law, for that is the number which has applied for the little green license plate up to this date. There can be no valid excuse for the delinquents either. Secretary of State Koier began to sound the 'warning two months before the new year dawned, urging automobile owners to d their license tag shopping early. k Then at' the first of the year, laboring under a de luge of applications that had completely swamped the registration department, he L extended the days of grace for delin quents until February 1. The department has been right up with, the applications for a week and licenses have been going out on the day applications are received, yet more than 30.000 automobiles in the -state are not provided with the credentials which indi cate their compliance with the registra tion law. .
