Herbert nn, highway engi neer, has promised to deliver the lecture, but found it inconvenient to attend, so sent Mr. Tibbet, who ably filled the bill. The crowd that attended was larger than usual, and in anticipa tion the women had prepared an unusually attractive spread. , P. J. Kuntx presided and intro duced the speaker. I Mr. Tibbet first told of the tre mendous project that bad been undertaken by the people in build ing highways In Oregon. He said that 133,000,000 in bonds had been authorized by the people, of which $19,000,000 had been -sold and 117,000.000 spent to date.

There are also numerous other sources of revenue from taxation and the gasoline tax. as well as the auto mobile license tax that provides the commission with funds. .

The general fund will be replenished about May 15. when the state tax payments begin to come in from the counties. This is a condition that arises each year Just prior to tax-paying time, but this year is more acute than heretofore, due. it is said to heavy appropriations which are drawn on by state departments as soon as made available. Under the. law the state treasurer is authorized to endorse warrants not paid for want of funds. A turnover to the counties of money coming In from automobile license fees is now, due from the secretary of state- The state treasurer will endeavor to make an arrangement with the coun ties whereby they will carry their warrants on this fund with their local banks and take them up in i Another Vancouver Boy Vanishes From Home VANCOUVER.

The ma!n point raised by scorea of farmers and other au tomobile owners is that the new take depreciation and rebuilt or second hand cars into account. In fact, as usual, it is a law which is not burdensome to the. man of wealth, but . is m hardship forced upon the man of moderate circum stances and this referendum move ment is only another sign of the times. With taxes and other fixed expenses increasing and the price of labor and what we are produc Ing going down, it la human na ture to resent such increases as are imposed in this recent inequa ble auto license readjustment law For . instance the farmer or man or moderate means who Is only able to buy and operate a rebuilt overland or some other similar make of car representing an In vestment of $450 or 1500 and who operates this car principally between nis farm or anhnrhan nome and the city, as a strictly business proposition, must pay the same exorbitant tax as the wealthy man who slides under the steering wheel of a $5000 car and burns un the Willamette valley and Colum bia River highway two or three times a month. There is absolute ly no equality or Justice about this feature of this freak production of the recent legislative session. With another cent of road tax added to his gasoline bill making a total now of two cents road tax on gaso line in this state, and with the un fair new auto license law It looks like the wage earner, small trmer and man of limited means was going to, be prohibited by freak Oregon legislation from owning any kind of an automobile, a rec reation, pleasure and enjoyment to be reserved for the upper class oaly 14 tfeU state, 'We have fajled, X Four m SlarHn rf J Sunday CHARLES CHAPLIN x In u dais LIBERTY Where the Big Pictures Show More Eastern SMpmeet lL 0 Are Received EVERYTHING AS SOON AS CHECKED and marked will be put on Sale at OUR BACK.
