Jjerj Object of Attack by Southern Democrat (By The Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 The $325,000,000 tax reduction bill reached tho test stage in tho house today and on Monday some of its major provisions will be taken up for approval. More than 20 hours of debate on the measure this week devel oped general endorsement from both Democrats and Republicans but the bill faces at least a dozen amendments, which will be offered next week on vital points. House Changes Few Sponsors of, the measure, which was framed by the ways and means committee, predicted today, how ever, that it would be approved by the house before the end of next week and practically without change. . The non-partisan character of the bill has won support for It during the long debate from both sides of the chamber. Scattering opposition appeared to the proposed 60 per-cent reduc tions in the- maximum surtax and inheritance tax rates. Fights against these two and tho tax board provisions are expected to constitute the most serious opposi tion when the bill is taken up Monday for amendments. The opposition apparently Is not organized on party lines against any of the provisions and Repre sentative Green; Republican, Iowa, chairman of the ways and means committee and Representative Gar ner of Texas, ranking Democrat on tho committee, were prepared tonight to lead tho fight for com plete approval of the compromise measure. - - ...j.

(Special to the Register) Automobile licenses for 1926 will be refused unless title to tho vehicle Is shown by records of the state department, Sam Kozer, secretary of state, an nounced today. - Owners who have neglected to register title to their vehicles will have to submit satisfactory evi dence as to the validity of their titles to the secretary of state,- to gether with the $1 registration fee before new license plates will be issued, Mr. Kozer declared. Delay Is Expected The fact that an owner has been Issued a license in preceeding years, cannot be accented as evi dence of title under the new law. nor does It permit the Issuance of a 1926 license if the owner has not secured a certificate of title from the secretary of state, that offi cial points out. With 65.000 automobile owners in Oregon who havo failed to regis ter title to their machines, and with applications for 1926 licenses coming In much slower than ln for mer years, Mr. Kozer anticipates a great deal of confusion and de lay In handling tho last minute rush. He points out. on the other hand, thnt motorists who do not have their 1926 license plates on January 1. are subject to whatever measures local authorities through out the state see fit to adopt. The secretary of state declared that the law, while specific ln re quiring enforcement of the title registry provision as a condition to the Issuance of licenses, Is In complete and unsatisfactory in Us provisions for the registry of titles. .Coireeinondence NeeesBarr Where title to a motor vehicle is clouded or Indirect, having passed through hands other than a dealer, each application for a certificate of title has. to be passed unon its individual merits. Mr. Kozer states. This. It Is pointed out, will Involve extended correspond ence In. many Instances and con siderable delay.' Under the secretary of state's ruling, applications for licenses will not be accepted at the Portland of fice or by the sheriffs throughout the state, nor will they issue tem porary licenses unless the applica tion is accompanied either by the certificate of title. Issued by the secretary of state, or by the:recelpt Issued In connection with the reg istry of title, t . NURSES ARE PROyiDED KLAMATH FAIjLS FIGHTING SPINAL MENINGITIS KLAMATH , FALLS, Ore., Dec 12.
