manager has graduated from tho mail

"Want a Hearing."
"We do not want to dictate policy,
but we do demand a hearing," he
insisted in his talk. No satisfactory
answer to the problems of circulation
have yet been made, a each paper
has its own unique field to cope with.
In general, two things are of primary
importance in the field of competi

and the price. Both are fixed, but
anything outside these two spheres

SALEM, Ore., March '13. OP) An
early meeting of the. state emergency
board apparently will be necessary to
provide the secretary of state with
funds to administer the new nn to
mobile title certificate act, which was
introduced by Senator Mngladry. and
which makes no provision for admin
istration funds or postage. The first
year's expense of administering the
act, according to Secretary of State
Kozer, will rnnge from $."iO,fMMl to
$HH).iH)0, for which it will he neces
sary for the secretary of state to
incur a deficiency by authority of the
emergency board. . This is the opin
ion of Attorney General Van Winkle
in reply to an inquiry by Kozer.
Clerical Work Heavy
The act necessitates a personal
dealing between the secretary of state
and every motor vehicle owner in the
state, numbering by the end of thin
year an estimated IMJOMK). The cler
ical work attached to this, Kozer
says, will he far heavier than that
attached to the regular automobile
registration. The act provides that
the secretary of state must mail to
every owner a copy of the act and
a blank form on which to apply for
certificate of title. Upon receipt of
the application, if this is approved
by the secretary of state he then ha
to mail the certificate. This makes
two mailings to each motor vehicle
owner, with 2 cents postage on each
parcel. Estimating the number of ve
hicle owners at iMXtHKl this means
$S,OffO in pottage alone. The re
maindpr of the eipense will he for
clerical help.
No Fee Required
The act doea not require a fee from
the owners with their, Application for
certificates of title. A fee of $1 is I
required foj certificates issued in
connection with th transfer of a j
vehicle from one owner to another, i
. M renta for duplicate on account ,
I of Iok of certificate. The act makes
n0 Prov'11'011 'r disposition of
jney so received by the secretary j
J of slate, and since no provision is :
