Registration fees were $2.851,067.- 55, a decline of nearly $1.000,000 for the period despite the increase in vehicles.

Fluhrer for State Senator because we are convinced that its high time we had more practical busi ness men in our State Legislature. County Assessor Farminq is a business and operating a governmental body is a business. In fact the biggest single business in Oregon today is the operation of the state itself. . . . last year it collected and spent $206,000.000.00 Why place an inexperienced unknown in this important office, putting the county to the needless expense of train I ing an entire new force Th« men we send to the Legislature are the Board of Directors of that 200 Million Dollar business. We believe its time we had men on that board who are more interested in giving us our money's worth in good efficient State Govern ment than they are in passing new laws which add to our taxes and complicate the operation of our business of farm ing. Paid Adv. W. H. Fluhrer is such a man. His 20 year record in busi ness and community service shows that he is a realistic and successful businessman greatly interested in the development of his County and State. THIS IS NOT A PREDICTION I BUT MAYBE SPRING IS It is seldom that a man of Mr. Fluhrer's ability and stand ing is willing to give his time and effort to serve in our Stato Legislature. We believe our neighbors should take advantage of this opportunity. Therefore ws urge you not only to vote for W. H. Fluhrer for State Senator but to actively work for his election.
