This is the edict of
Kozer, secretary of state,
that owing:
Sam A.
who has
to the in-
ibility of his department to take
care of the flood of license applica
tions coming into his office during
the past few days, motor vehicle
owners who applet f then
licenses previous to the expiration
of the vear 1920 and have not yet
received their tags may continue
to drive their cars with the 1020
tags attached until they receive
their new license plates.
Inspectors for the state auto
mobile department and peace of
ficers generally throughout the
state have been informed of the rul
ing made by Mr. Kozer and are re
quested to allow auto owners who
have applied for licenses to operate
their cars until the new licen
ses have been distributed.
Notwithstanding the department
over two months and a half ago
sent fv.t apr'ioation blanks to all
motor vehicle owners for their

Net until some ten days ago
the number of applications
oeived equal the daily capacity

last ten days, a congestion now
ists, and it will be possibly the
mid-
die of January before
licenses can
be issued and forwarded on all ap
plications which will be received
nn to that time. To date, 35,000 :
licenses have been placed in the
mail and 2,500 were delivered over
the counter, so that it leaves us
substantially 12.000 application
for which to issue licenses, with
those which will be received dur
ng the next few days.
"This same condition has existed
every year, notwithstanding the de
partment has urged the motor
vehicle owners to apply early for
their licenses for the ensuing year,
and we know of no way to obviate
this unless by the imposition of a
penalty for failure to display the
license plates immediately upon
the " beginning of the new license
year," said 'Mr. Kozer. "This
however, is a matter solely within
thel province of the Legislative
Assembly."
Indications are that the number
of -new cars which will he regis
tered in the state during 1921 will
be not less than the number reg
istered during the year 1920. As
all moneys received fnm -vehicle
lWnses less administi -t'- e
expenrr?. m-ected to be expend
ed . in road construction and road
improvement throughout the -tne,
the licerse fees resulting from the
natural -increase in the number of
motor vehicles will very mator'illy
add -to ths funds available for rad
extens'pr throughout Oregon, ard
wren tho copts trom the ga-oline j
tax, wo'tld aggregate well on to I
$3,000,000 in the year 1921. The
total receipts from motor vehicles
license fees and other fees from
the operation of the motor vehicle
law during the year 1920, was
$2,081,000. The total gasoline tax
collected was over $451,000,
that i.he natural increase of
so.
the j
fees from these two sources should
give well on to three millions of
dollars in 1021.
Every effort is boig made by
the department to expedite the
issuing of 1921 motor vehicle
licenses. Registrations are being
made and. license plates issued at a
rate of from 2,000 to 2,500 daily.

TW0-SW0RD MEN OF JAPAN
With Their Disbanding, Comparatively
Few Years Ago, the Secret of
Blaciemaking Disappeared.
As late as Ph's there were some
4dU. U two-sword men in Japan, high
ly trained fighters attached to the
noMes of the land in hands ranging
from two or three, to an entire army.
When the revolution eamo the work
of the two-sword men was done, the
nation was made into a solid unit and
the strength of the blade earners was
needed at plow and bone!).
With this disha,nilin'. nn exchange
explains, the trade ot the swnnhnaker
was also lost to the vast number fol
lowing it. and with them, as the years
passed, diet! the secrets of the war
rior tools. Swords can he obtained in
Japan today whose blades are so keen
they can cut through a veil or a sofa
cushion, and also can he driven
through a bar of iron, provided the
wielder has the strength. Others have
blades covered with a beautiful and
intricate tracery that disappears and
reappears at odd times, and no one
can solve the "why" of It. One mo
ment the blade is as smooth and un
marked as a mirror and the next the

xhat modern civilization is brimmir
death and extermiriHtioii to the splen
did race known as the Polynesian, is
the claim of all travelers who have
spent time on the beautiful southern
Pacific islands. Charles Iiernard
Nordhoff, in the Atlantic Monthly, In
sorrowing over this says:
"To say that Christianity was their
undoing would he absurd ; they died
and are dying under the encroach
ments of the European civilization of
which Christianity was the forerun
ner. Everywhere In the South seas
the story lias boon the same, whether
told by Stevenson, or Melville, or
i Louis P.erke. We brought them dis-
ease; we brought them cotton cloth-
Ing (almost as great a curse) ; we sup-
pressed the sports and merriment and
potty wars which enabloij the olr
islanders to maintain their interest In
life. And lastly, we brought them an
alien code 'of morals, which succeeded I
chiefly in making hyi.ocrit.es of theic"
men whoso souls it was sigti.'fl to i tl i
save. Today there Is notion" to be '
said, nothing to bo done the, Polyne-
sinn race will soon be only n meru- I
