Non-Partisan Character Is

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. Connolly .Makes Attack .
' Debate was enlivened today by
another attack on the movement
Instituted by the Texas and Iowa
tax clubs for repeal of the federal
Inheritance levy.
Representative Connally, Demo
crat, Texas, charged that the clubB
had been organized in the two
states by the American Bankers'
League, which he said had been
repudiated by the American Bank
ers' association "for the purpose
of Intimidating the heads of the
ways and means committee. Chair

Tho league hoped, he declared.
eventually to destroy all inherit
ance tax laws, both federal and
state.

16 members of tho board of tax
appeals, as proposed in the bill.
was cnaracterizea as "undemo

who snid he would propose an
amendment limiting the appoint
ments to 10 or 12 years.
In reply, Representative Mills of
New York, a Republican member
of tho committee declared admin

Issuance of Former' License Not
Aoocplcd as Evidence of
Proper Registry
SALEM, Ore., Deo. 12. (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
