Temperature: Highest yesterday ttt Lowest thli morning ...... - M M M BIEHELT ., I Ik Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. SENATOR EDDY, Of Roseburg, sug gest the catling of a special see Ioq at tha legislature to amend the motor vehicle lav so that automo bile license few may be paid in In atallmenta preferably quarterly In stallment. In that way, he thlcka, more peo ple would be Induced to buy li censes for their cars, thus bringing more money Into the etate highway fund and at the aame time malting It easier for the car owner to pay. TO THIS proposal, state highway officials offer two principal ob jections: 1. Installment buying would In crease heavily the cost of collecting license fee money. 2. The commission Is going to need the money. In order to meet Its commitment sooner than the Installment plan would bring It in. THESE are reasonable objections, of course. Yet, to this writer, it appears, and has for some time, that it would be desirable to make automobile license fees psysbie in Installments. License fees In Oregon are rather high, and there Is much demand for reduction of them which woum handicap the whole highway pro gram, and might even throw the burden of highway bond retirement back onto property, which would be a calamity. If installment buying of licenses headed that off. it would be well worth while. IlfHY NOT, for example, add a dol- lar to the cost of licensee bought on the Installment plan? That would help to cover the additional colleC' tlon exoense. Already we charge a dollar extra for license plates .bought locally through the sheriff's office, and lane numbers of people are prov Ing their willingness to pay for this convenience. The Idea of Installment buylng.of license plBtea reauy anouiuu dropped without careful study, PASSINO from the serious to the frivolous, have you heard this MMt "What would be a sure cure for the depression?'

But. admitting that thia is true etablls!iment of a dictatorship In the United States Is about the last thine that could hsppen. We still have more confidence in ALL of us than In an ONE of us. Rev.

GOVERNOR'S FOES DOUBLE EFFORTS STOP NOMINATION arley Accepts Order of Chief to Abide by Old Rule Vote On Abrogation Predicted Very Close ALBANY, N. Y., Jane 37 (AP) fjorrriior Franklin O. Hoose Telt today telegraphed sup porter! at the Democratic na tional convention to cease their efforts to abrogate the two thirds convention rule. CHICAGO, June 37. (AP) The Roosevelt order against continuance of the fight to eliminate the two- thirds rule was received at head quarters and promptly accepted aa final by Jamea A. Parley, head of the Roosevelt board of strategy. With the southern atatea In re volt against abrogation of the cen tury old rule at this time, the Roosevelt leaders had been in con ference during the morning con sidering a reversal of policy. The switch came after a check up of the delegations showed the re sult on abrogation of the two-thirds rule to be hanging by a very narrow margin, but the Rooseveltiana In sisted up to the iBst that they had the votes. (southerners Refused Aid. Whether the Roosevelt board of strategy hers had conferred witn the governor before nts order came was not msde known. The end, of the fight for abrogation was sig nalled as the Roosevelt chieftain called in southern leaders for con ferences late In the morning after Alabama and North Carolina, two Roosevelt delegations, had overwhelm. Inglv rejected the Roosevelt move to knock out the two-thirds rule. Willing to stand on tha -two. thirds rule, the Roosevelt spokesman confidently predicted the nomination of the New York governor, obviously counting on the bulk of New York'a 84 votea to turn the trick. However, tha opposition was elated at the collapse of the fight for the two-thirds abrogation and was re doubling efforts to stop Roosevelt. Lavs Controversial Point, Senator Walsh. Montana, Roosevelt candidet for the permanent chair manship, said he wsa glad to hear of the governor's statement because it will dispose of a very contro versial subject." "In my Judgment the governor is Bood sport, he added. V. Y. Dallman, leBder of the downstate Illinois Roosevelt forces and one of the "key" floor men tor Parley, Interpreted the governor's action as "evidence that Roosevelt believes he has enough strength to win without abrogation." I'm atlll for ths majority rule, Governor Harry H. Woodrlng or Kanaaa said, "because it follows the precedent of all Democratic atate organtzatlona and because the two- thirds rule Is undemocratic."

Eddy of Rose burg in a letter received at the exec utive offices today. The session was suggested to enact legislation mak ing possible quarterly lnsiaHmenw payments for automobile licenses. When asked here wast ne jmenoea to do regarding the suggestion, the governor replied "What do need with a special session of the legisla ture? If there is anything to be done to relieve the situation we can do that without a session." The governor was then asked If be planned to declare a short morator ium on new license pEatea for auto mobiles, extending the time for en forcement of the law to August 1, instead of July 1. He replied "1 do not know The governor's statement concern ing the special session was interpret ed here to-mean that if thero is a great need for an extension, he would declare a moratorium.

Biting Attack on G.O.P.; Dry Repeal Submission Feature Demo. Keynote Barkiey of Kentucky Blames Coolidge, Mellon for "Speculation Orgy" Smoot-Hawley Tariff Hit CHICAGO, June 37. AP) In a keynote speech bristling with denun-i elation of the Hoover administration. Senator Aiben W. Barkiey today urg ed the democratic national conven tion to favor a vote by the people on repealing the eighteenth amendment and called upon the nation to turn the republicans out of office. Describing the Republican plank on prohibition as "a promiscuous ag glomeration of scran-lumber," the Kentucklan aald the Democrats should recommend passage of a -congressional resolution repealing the 18th amendment, to be voted on by atate conventions chosen solely for that purpose. Barkiey denounced the aepunucans and President Hoover for the "exhor biiaM and Indefensible rates" of the Smoot-Sfswley tariff act and promla- ed to "lift tariff-making above the sordid processes of log-rollera and back-scratchers. Farm Relief Promised He excoriated the administration's farm policy and said the Democrats would undertake "to remove from the shoulders of agriculture a portion of the unnatural burden which It bears becsuse oi&ere have been able to shift it there through special legislation la their own behalf." Paving his respects to the Hoover administration, the keynoter recalled that the president "and hia Republi can congress took charge of the gov ernment" on March 4, 1939, and add ed: "But every prediction, every prom ise, every assurance mad by them to obtain votes has turned to ashes In their hands," .and every pretense has been exposed in all its naked affecta tion. "Agriculture has continued its col laspe. Industry haa languished be yond any previous record. Credit has been restricted until finance and pro ductive enterprise are frightened- and stagnant and there is constantly marching a greater army of unem ployed men and women in search of honest toll than has ever been ex perienced by this or any other na tion." Mismanagement Blamed 4 "There la nothing wrong with this republic" he added, "except that It haa been mismanaged, exploited and demoralized for more than a decade by a leadership incomparably short sighted and bereft of true statesman ship. Incapable of understanding and dealing with fundamental causes. and incapable even how In the midst of its tearful havoc of understand ing the extent of its own mischief1 Declaring that "we must by a ma jor operation remove from the body of our nation and the world, both of which are sick and dejected, the dead flesh and decayed bonce resulting from 13 years of Republican quack ery," Barkiey continued; "We must apply to the hopeful but misused patient the recuperative pro- cesses of a democracy which for century and half has responded to the emergencies which have always beset us at the end of every period of Republican control which lasted long enough for its virus to tase ef fect." Rum Violation Hit Concerning the eighteenth amend ment, Barkiey said "so long aa it la a part" of the constitution "no cltl- aen of tha republic haa a legal or moral right to violate it," and add d: Whatever may tee th divergent views of men and women on the mer its or demerits of the eighteenth amendment aa a national policy, it ia Inconceivable that this or any other part of the constitution of the United States should apply to only a part and not the whole of the American na tion. That great Instrument declares that 'this constitution and tha laws made ill pursuance thereof shall be the aupreme law of the land.' But it cannot be the aupreme law of the land If It can be abrogated by the; people of a part of the land while re maining In force over the rest oi them. Such a conception destroy the very nature- and structure, of the con stitution, for If it can be made thus to qualify or.e of ita provisions it may be made to qualify all of them. This would be the end of the consti tution Itself. Under these circumstances this convention osves It to the people of the nation to make it declaration upon this aubjsct clear, understand able and unequivocal. There la no reason why the people ahould be de cs. vd or deluded. There la no reason why a political declaration should look in every direction and see noth ing. Resubmission Advocated "In order, therefore, to obtain ths present will of the American people on this subject of universal contro versy, this convention should In the platform her to be adopted recom mend the passage by congress of resolution repealing the eighteenth amendment and its submission to the people of the atatea through con tentions whose delegates ahali be chosen upon thia issue alone. "if the people are to pass again .upon thia question, let them pass upon it is such bald, naked and un equivocal terma aa to make thai? de cision intelligent and certain. "If their verdict shall be In favor of retaining the eighteenth amend ment in the constitution, let every true cltixen of the nation accept the decision and abide by it in letter and la spirit. "If the verdict shall be for th re peal of the amendment then let every branch of ths nationM government exercise all the powers they possess to protect the states in the observ ance and enforcement of the laws which they ahsii enact to control.
