are only two years old, 29 Oregon
cities requested them for 1030. The
plan was inaugurated at Baker in
March, 1928, and was so successful
.that It was tried again in 1929 with
18 institutes being held during the
spring and summer, the Retail Mer
chants association adopting them as
Its chief activity.

NEW RECONCILIATION
Knoxvllle, Tenn. (IP) Two months
After hie wife had shot him In the
abdomen after seeing him riding
with another woman Henry Hlckey,
city fireman, gave an Interview to
the newspapers.
"We are living together," Hlckey
said. "Both of our divorce suits have
.been dropped, and I'm not prosecut
ing her for shooting me."
Mrs. Hlckey followed the ambu
lance to the hospital and remained
constantly at the bedside of her hus
band during his convalescence. Then
she took him home.
PLEA CAUSES DEATH
Princeton, Ind., IIP) A daughter's
plea to her mother to drive the
auto "fast down the hill" ended in
the death of the child and injury
to the parent, Mrs. Cora Watklns,
Princeton. Mrs. Watklns lost con
trol of the car and It was wrecked.
The daughter, Dorothy, 13, suffered
Injuries which proved fatal.
Because of a lack of "dlscrlmina
tlon" an amendment was framed by
legislators. It will be presented to
voters on Novembers 4 for their ap
proval or rejection.
The Motor Vehicle License Tax
constitutional amendment asks that
the "legislative assembly be author
lzed to classify and subclasslfy prop
erty, including motor vehicles, for
purposes ol taxation and in provld
ing for an excise or privilege tax,
to take into consideration use, val
ue and depreciation of the property
affected without specific assess
ment.'
Today, each motor vehicle license
purcliaser must pay a license fee
commensurate with the weight of
his machine, a system for many
years in use as a fair method of
computing the tax.
It was held by many that basic
value of the automobile should have
no bearing on the license fee. Each
has an equal opportunity for use
of state roads. The man who drives
a $50 automobile is Just as much a
user of the roads as he who drives
a $5000 automobile, it was held.
Since motor vehicle funds are
used exclusively to construct high
ways and maintain a traffic divi
sion, reduction In license lees might
endanger the efficiency of the lat
ter and curb the expansion of the
former,
Blnce assessed valuations on per
sonal property are based on pres
ent value, the same basis of taxa
tion should apply on automobiles.
proponents of the measure declared.
Motor vehicle dealers were gen
erally In favor of the law since It
wcu Id not affect the new car market
and would create a greater demand
for used vehicles, according to Hal
Hofis, secretary of state
Ample opposition was found to
this stand when opponents of the
measure claimed that used cars
were a menace to other motorists
and because they do more harm to
state roads than the new automobiles.
According to Hoss, initiation of
the proposed amendment might
mean a serious loss In revenue to
the state. On the basis of this state
ment, others held that owners of
higher priced and newer vehicles
would first be subject to Increased
license fees should the suggested
plan not bring a necessary income
to the motor vehicle department.
Any change in present motor ve
hicle licensing methods would dis
rupt the financing plan for addi
tion to Oregon's highway system, it
was held by officials of the state
treasurer's office. Passage of the
amendment would threaten the in
come which Is used to retire a $39,
000,000 road bond construction is
sue and might create a necessity in
future years of a deficiency appro
priation, to call the remaining
bonds. "
The original $39,000,000 in road
building bonds issued for the state
highway department for a building
program, were based on motor veh
icle license registrations of the
time. Approximately $10,000,000 of
these bonds will have been retired
In October when the peak Issue of
$3,500,000 is called. The debt will be
reduced to Jess than $30,000,000 and
Increased receipts due to Increased
registrations can be used In further
road construction work. A change
in this system might tend to Jeopar.
dize payments on the outstanding
bonds and disrupt a ten-year high
way building program now under
way by state officials, treasury of
ficials declared.
"If there is a desire to change the
present motor vehicle licensing plans
why not wait until road bonds now
outstanding, have been retired?"
state officials questioned. "The only
present opposition to the law is that
it would endanger present plans for
financing road work. When this
program has been completed. It will
then be time enough for legislators
to seek other methods for licensing
Oregon motor vehicles."-

OF NOISES FOR

time, is gone, ivever.
In the early audible films studios
spent effort and imagination to ob
tain realistic Imitations of common-
plac sounds.
Then someone concluded that the
real thing would be better than any
Imitation, and started on a noise-
hunt that has resulted In a "rec

short notice.
The man with the Idea was Ber
nard Brown. He also contrived the
first artificial sound effect.
About a year and a half ago
Brown began building his collec
tion of sounds.
He and his staff took micro
phones to railroad stations, beside
babbling brooks, to barnyards, to
roofs high above the city.
Now these stored sound effects
save endless time and money In pic

might have to be re-taken several
times because the clicking of a

HIGHER HURDLE
FOR STUDENT OF
LAW PLANNED
Los Anieles (IP) A proposal to
place a higher hurdle In the path
of legal novitiates by adding an
educational clause to the present
requirements for srtmlsilra to the
California bar will be considered
by the State Bar association, at its
September 20 meeting In Pasadena.
The recommendations were em
bodied In a report of the amend
ments committee released by Hu
bert T. Morrow of Los Angeles,
chairman.
The proposed amendment pro
vides that any citizen 21 years old
and of good moral character with a
state residence of at least three
months, and who "possesses the
necessary qualifications of learn
ing," is entitled to admission. '
It Is also provided that an exam
ining committee appointed by the
board of governors shall ascertain
the qualifications and conduct nec
essary examinations.'
The educational requirement to be
fixed by this board shall not, under
the proposal, exceed:
Graduation from a high school or
proof that the applicant possesses
the equivalent of such an educa-
tlon In intellectual competency and
achievement;
Oraduatlon from a law school
or proof that the aspirant to legal'
practice has .studied law at scut
for four years.. - ,
The report pointed out that a.
education . requirement, la not an
reasonable because the -rule for
school attendance Is allevlafed w
the fact that evidence of "lntedUee-tual-
competency and aebaneasent'
la 'sufficient to allow the applicant
to laae-uie siace oar examination.
- The education hurdle la a new
state legal rule inasmuch aa th.
old law contains no educational re
quirements at all, but simply stip
ulates that the applicant must have
studied. law In. good faith for three
years.
California, It was said, has keen
trying for years to raise the stand
ards for legal education. The lee
way eiven bv th. xtjttj, har .M t
1027 .was closed again last year
when . the legislature deprived the
state bar 'of Its right to fix eduea- -Uocal
requirements. .
In explaining the new attitude '
the committee stated:
"The practice of law Is so In ti- ;
mateiy connected with, and so In- -fluences
governmental problems and
social questions of the nation, that
admission to tne practice must be .
considered at least as much from j
the public standpoint as from the
