In this gigantic federal process of taking and giving, a large chunk of the local taxpayer's dol lar goes to support the bureaucracy which pro vides "give away" services that in most cases could he better handled locally in the first place.

Automobiles were first regis tered in Oregon on May 19, 1905, by the secretary of state, who had been assigned this new duty by the legislature. On the first day 32 "horseless carriages" were registered without charge. The first registration fees were col lected in 1907 when a non-recurring charge of $3.00 was made. From the 32 automobiles regis tered on May 19, 1905, the num ber of motor vehicles in Oregon has grown to more than 800,000. The few hundreds of dollars of fees collected In the biennium beginning in 1907 has grown to more than $25 million for the current biennium. Grant, Gilliam, Hood River, M,al heur and Harney Counties are now circulating petitions which will make it possbile for them to join in a compulsory Brucel losis eradication program.

AMALGAM FEVER Attempts to move the motor vehicle division, which now em ploys about 500 workers, from the secretary of state to the governor began during the terms of Secre taries of State Earl Snell and Robert Farrell. At that time the proposed change did not get past the talking stage. Early in the first term of Sec mt.qrv nf stato Earl T. Newbry the legislature made determined attempts to order the move, but opposition organized by Assistant Secretary of State wunam Healy defeated the proposed change. NEWBRY A TARGET Early sponsorship of the pro posal to move the division to the governor were based entirely on grounds that the secretary of state was taking advantage of the opportunity to publicize his name. In both the 1951 and 1953 sessions bills were Introduced forbidding the secretary of state to place his name on the many documents and papers issued by the motor vehicle division. Sena tor Richard Neuberger was usual ly in the forefront of the man euvering, but senators of both parties gave his bills support. It was Healy again, who organ ized opposition to those bills and twice Neuberger's attempt to bury the name of Newbry failed by a single vote. In numerous appearances before the highway committees of both Houses, Healy claimed the attempts were politi cally inspired and would un necessarily hamper proper ad ministrative functioning of the office. An interim committee created by the 1953 session to study state government re-organization found Healy cooperative when it was made clear that greater efficiency and economy were the goals not a concern with the publicity received by any particular elective officer. It was his suggestion that caused the committee to include the fi nancial responsibility division and motor vehicle fuel tax divi sion in the recommendation to move the motor vehicle division. The recommendation of the com mittee was adopted by the 1955 session of the legislature with the only potent opposition from the Democrats of both houses.
