Oregon motor vehicle registration
for the first quarter of 1948 is up 12
percent over the same period last
year. Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry has reported.
All registered vehicles totalled 512,-
224 to surpass the 457.525 recorded
in the first three months of 1947.
Passenger cars accounted for 397. 09 1
of the total, an Increase or nearly

Registration fees were $2.851,067.-
55, a decline of nearly $1.000,000 for
the period despite the increase in
vehicles. This is explained by the !
new commercial vehicle law which ■
reduces license fees but imposes a 1

secretary pointed out.
The drivers' license division report
ed 17,000 original licenses and 68,328
i renewals. All motor vehicles and
drivers' -transactions produced an
aggregate of $3,1 72,877.61 in fees for
the period.
The system of renewing old drivers'
licenses progressively .by serial num
bers is working well except for the
few who are unaware of the plan and
find Jhomselves with invalid licenses.
Newbry declared.
The program is
nearing the halfway mark in replace
ment of the old licenses, after which
all will expire every other year on the
holder's birthdate. priver’« licenses
with serial numbers up to 5R396.000
will have expired by the end of May.

C. A. Myers
We support W. H. 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.
If So, You Will Need From Wilson's

We have no ax to grind. We are not politicians. We take
this interest in Mr. Fluhrer's candidacy because we are In

of the State Government can be improved by the election of
men such as he.
