According to a news story from Salem, tourist trav­ el figures indicate that some out-of-state cars are not being registered in Oregon. The presumption is that such a revelation will sound the death knell of the car registering requirement during next session of the Oregon legislature. However, if legislators believe the only value to Oregon of the registration requirement is that of trav­ el statistics, then they are overlooking the require­ ment’s principal benefit—that of offering a valuable contact with the tourist. In the Ashland office, which leads all others in the state for total registrations, the daily contacts become friendly greeting of guests, a bid to tourists to make themselves feel at home in Oregon. Many priceless contacts are made every month of value to the state, the community and the tourist. To say that the law is a hick statute is to employ a thoughtless play on words. The registration require­ ment does no one an injury, causes little inconvenience and gives opportunity for registration offices to dis­ tribute information about the state, the community and recreations. Most tourists appreciate the friendly, cordial greetings and the authoritative advice given in the Ashland office, and if other portals are not a*, con­ open-minded on the question of the presidency, but if siderate, then they should be disciplined Legislators should be hesitant about voting the Willkie makes many more talks during his campaign registration law out of existence; rather they might as impotent and as poorly presented as that of Satur­ give thought to proper exploitation of its valuable con­ day, then Roosevelt will carry Maine and Vermont, too! tact oportunities.
