Although a murkfd tmu In
utomobllc registrations was noted
following the nd of Governor Mel

elpta stIH are almost ouarter
million dollars leas than for the
ame time last year.
A check-up made by the state
motor vehicle department to August
M, showed total receipts of S5.5M,
03 M or 245,26.e3 less than last
ear.
Bus arid truck revenues were 114,
2J behind. 1930. Approximately
1218,87b had been taken In so far.
The governor's license payment
moratorium made a temporary dif
ference of about 1288,000 In receipts.
on July 31, the last day of the par
eon-promise, receipts were 9533,'
303.40 less than a year ago. In the
IS days of August following lifting
of the moratorium, the "deficit" was
cut to $245,288.03.
As in former years, approximate
ly hair of the registrations were Is
sued by mall. Some 112,587 were U
sued In that manner, 80.365 over the
Portland counter, and 23427 at Sa
lem. There were 216.879 registra
tions compared to 231401 last year.
Multnomah Is the most motorized
of Oregon's counties, according to
detail figures available up to August
having 83,107 vehicles under one-ton

Washington, 8,344; Klamath, (,884;
Linn, 6,370; Coos, 4,831; and Uma
tilla, 4,634.
Although Washington county Is
sixth on the foregoing list and
Klamath Is seventh, positions of the
two divisions are reversed if fee re
ceipts are used fos. the classification.
Klamath has paid In $137,521.66 and
Washington county, $130,883.24. The
difference. It was explained. Is due
evidently to a disposition of Klam
ath county natives for heavier au
tomobiles than are favored In Wash
ington county.
AlthouRh passenger cars and trucks
have uniformly Increased In favor

istrations remain fairly uniform. In
1927, motorcycles registrations In

SOVIET ATTACK
LAUNCHED UPON
NEW CABINET
Moscow 'A, Moscow newspapers
Tuesday devoted their leading ar
ticles to the resignation of the Brit
ish Labor Government, generally
considering the "class character" of
the British government unchanged
by the new coalition.
Izvestia said the MacDonald gov
ernment was not a government of
the worker class, despite its party
label, but was supported In all Its
problems by "The Imperialistic
Rmirronl.,"
The formation of the new govern- I
ment, the newspaper said, indicated
that the deepening economic crisis
holds grave consequences for the
fate of British capitalism at time
when the British are forced to re
ceive American and French loans to
maintain the sterling rate.
"The British bourgeois is collecting
Its forces to open a decisive attack
against the workers and places at
the head of the coalition govern
ment leader of a 'worker party,'"
Izvestia said.
The newspaper said the task of
the British communist party now Is
to assume leadership of tha working
masses to unmask the Bourgeois at
tack against the Proletariat under
the guise of national unity.
"A great class struggle Is going to
take place in England," It said.

WUnattja Say Processor?
BMdja Say
Food dealers were the most trustworthy of all business instoochins (were glad
we dojtt have to spell all the, big words when we talk like we do when we write.)
No Bill I said food dealers were trusted more than any other business on earth.
(Others of course arent considered.) That last wise crack was added by us the
proff dident say that.) Proceed Prof f we wont interupt ye any more.
Well as I started to say before you interrupted me of all the millions of people
buying foods not one in ten thousand ever know whether they get all they pay
for or not. "She! Sh!" Proff the food dealers cant afford to have that kinda talk
goin around.
Give us an example. Prof f.
Allright heres one A friend of mine asked the price of a certain piece of meat
at a market here in Salem and was told 20c per pound. Jumpin Jubiter he said
whatsa mater? down the street they're sellin the same kinda meat at 15c per
pound Whated do we asked the Proff, "why" he said he went to the other shop
of course. Well It was quite a savin wasent it Proff? Just waite till I finish and
then judge. He told the clerk he'd take fifty cents worth the pkg. dident look
very large so he went and weighed itt and its an actual fact Bill he'd paid exactly
the same price as the first man had asked him 20c per pound.
Now Bill heres the funny part of it the man that made that overcharge did
ent own the shop nor did he think he was robbing the customer as he dident
charge any more than the other shop asked the people that price tthier goods
that way very often do it just to make it apear that they are selling cheaper than
any one else can sell. And heres another practice that is not always to the cus
tomers advantage and thats specials, of course the public is pretty wise to spe
cials now they know that the store advertising and item as a special are doing it
for one reason only and that is to create the impression that, that particular
store sells everything for less folks, the Professor says that the food buyers to
often look only at the price tag, strange as it may seem theres been no super in
dividual yet discovered, who has found a way of operating where itt would be
posiable to make so large a difference in price as some would like to have the
public to believe.

When It comes to maken bread

because its one of the best and
easiest to use, but because you
