Hnttad Willard St Four people at one time, and a to tal of 50 for a day were in the Co quille Hotel on Tuesday this week, seeking to register their out-of-state cars for Oregon driving. And they could not. There is no point from the state line to Coquille where such registering can be done on the Coast highway. With the great increase in traffic on the coast road this year, isn’t it about time that the state and motor as sociation made arrangements for reg istering of cars in Coquille? TODAY’S TAXOGRAM Those people who think they are tax free because they pay no income tax would be surprised to know the numerous and varied ways in which their most personal activities are taxed. We wake up to the ringing of a taxed alarm clork; we wash our teeth with taxed toothpaste and our face with taxed soap. Then we dress with a taxed shirt or dress and taxed shoes. There’s even a tax on our breakfast—the cream in our coffee is taxed; every slice of bread contains 52 hidden taxes; there’s a tax on ev ery slice of bacon and on every egg. All day long, every time we turn around, we are coming in contact with some item upon which we pay a tax until at long last we lie down to sleep—on a taxed mattress. The legality of marble boards, pin ball machines and motion picture theatre “bank nights” will be argued before the state supreme court this fall. Whether the coin machines are games bf skill and lawful amusement devises or gambling paraphernalia will have to be determined by the state’s highest tribunal. And wheth er “bank night” is within the law or beyond the pale as a lottery will also have to be settled. The decision will be state-wide in scope. Either the marble machines, which are reputed to have a “take” of »4,000,000 per year, will continue to operate or they will go. Ralph E. Moody, assistant state's attorney-general and special prose cutor of gambling and vice cases in Marion county, started the questions on their way through the courts. Af ter stopping the operating of the ma chines in Salem, convicting a Salem policeman of bribery and unsuccess fully trying the city’s chief of police twice for alleged negligence in fall ing to prosecute known gamblers. Moody suddenly ordered Sheriff A. C. Burk, of Marion county, to stop the operation of all marble boards, pin-ball games and “bank nights” within five days.

The state penitentiary is crowded to capacity with 1000 prisoners. Not all are in the main cell blocks, of course, but never before in history have so many convicts been in con finement.
