Washington, Dec. 14 (AP) Conser v a 1 1 o u of n a t u ral re sources and reclaiming of land lost to agriculture were defined as the "two real questions vital to the supremacy of the nation," by Secretary Work In an address today opening a conference on reclamation and colonization of idle lands. 'We must begin again. In the east, as did our forefathers," he said, "not to connuer the land wrench a living from it and abandon it, but to restore it." Reclamation from now on, the secretary believes, should include the recapture and restoration of lost soil fertility, assertiiiar that "when the lime Is extracted from the sou and deposited in men's arteries, tne end of that com munity is in sight." J. lie conroronce was caliei to order by Dr. El wood Mead, com missioner of reclamation, who ir a brief welcome said the problem of reclomation was essentially thnt of getting cultivators on land rather than preparing land lor them, n problem which In bis opiu ion affected not only tho west, but the entire country. Secretary Jardlne followed Sec retary Work, emphasizing nation wide aspects of reclamation and the necessity of finding markets for farmers surplus production. "Over production,' he said, "is the most perplexing problem now before the American farmer." He added that much land that had been under grass and has been plowed up and settled should have been left as range land. "There would seem to be no need of government effort at this present time toward more land into cultivation." HOUSE VOIES EI W RATE Washing on, Dec. 14. tA.P.)

CERTIFICATES OFTITLE NEEDED Y There are about 05,000 motor vehicle owners in Oregon who arc going to he refused their 192G licenses unless in the next few weeks they obtain their certifi cates, of 'title to their cars, dc claes a stutcmcnt given out by Secretary of State Kozcr Saturday The certificate of title law was passed by the 1925 legislature. Instructions have gone out to the sheriffs of the state and to the Portland registration office that applications for licenses must not be accepted unless that applicant can produce his certificate or their receipt that Is Issued with the certificate. The policy of the department in Salem will be to accept applications from owners who have not obtained certifi cates only when applications for registry of title require proof of ownership and the ?l registration fee are forthcoming at the same time. A license issued to nn owner In preceding years cannot, under the new law, be regarded as evidence of ownership, nor will It permit the issuance of a license for That confusion looms ahead for the state automohllo department Is evident, not only because 05,- 000 owners have failed to get their certificates of title, but be cause applications for licenses arc coming in much slower than In preceding years. Tho confusion may be added to by tho fact that owners who do not havo new plates on thoir cars on January 1 will be subject to whatever pen alties local authorities may sec fit to Impose. Mr. Kozer says that tho new law, while plainly requiring en forcement of title registration as a condition to obtaining a license is defective in its provision for the registry of titles. If title is clouded or indirect, by reason of having passed through hands oth er than the dealer, the applica tion for certificate of title must be passed upon as toMndividun) merits.
