Another bill would allow
parties to a trial to know
whether documents to be used
in the trial , were considered
genuine before the trial start
ed. To Inspect Evidence
A fourth bill would allow
parties to inspect items of
evidence to be presented by
the opposing side before the
trial.
A fifth bill would provide
for written questions being
submitted to a person as well
as a deposition before the
trial. This procedure also
would have safeguards.
The final bill would provide
that handwriting evidence
would be ruled on before a
trial by the 'judge as well as
all other types of evidence.
In the past, handwriting had

Picture
Ashland - Appearing in the
current bulletin of the Citizen
ship Clearing House is an
article featuring a picture of
Howard J. Boyd, Southern
Oregon college student, with
the house, at the recent student-faculty
conference con
ducted at Lewis and Clark
college to evaluate the Oregon
internship program and to dis
cuss the 1958 campaign.
According to Dr. Marshal
E. Woodell, SOC professor of
political science, Boyd was
appointed because of his in
terest in political affairs and
the resulting experience to be
gained during the one-week
assignement in Salem when
the interns were afforded the
opportunity to work with
state legislators and study
public policy issues and legis
lative processes.
Sixty students from 13 Ore
gon and Idaho colleges par
ticipated in the general semi
nar; prominent state legisla
tors and lobbyists took part
in panel meeting attended by
Boyd and other interns; and
Gov. Mark Hatfield discussed
his legislative program with
the group.

search for truth." He carried
all six bills on the House floor.
The House passed and sent
to the Senate a bill taxing all
house trailers in the state over
12 feet long.
$6 Registration Fee
Rep. Clinton Haight (D-
Baker) said that under the bill
the Motor Vehicle Department
would register all such trail
ers for a $6 fee, of which it
would keep $2 for administra
tive costs.
There also would be a li
cense fee at the time of regis
tration amounting to two per
cent of the wholesale price of
the trailer when new, with al
lowances made for deprecia
tion for six years. This money
would be returned to the
counties and local taxing dis
tricts. . Haight said the - bill was
favored by the Oregon Mobile
Home Owners Association,
trailer dealers and manufac
turers. He said that 6,000 trailers
now were on the tax rolls,
but that there were an esti
mated 30,000 to 70,000 trailers
in the state.
In the past, Haight said, it
had been hard to collect taxes
on trailers because assessors
did not know where they
were.

tary commitment of mentally
retarded children to Fairview
home was sent to the gover
nor. Rep. Grace Peck (D-Port-land)
explained that many
parents did not want to take
their children to court to get
them committed to Fairview,
but would put them on the

untarily. Avbill which would have
done away with 'the three-day
waiting period for marriages
was tabled by . the Public
Health Committee.

All-Woman City
Officers Plan No
Chintz Curtains
. Inona, Kan.-flJPD-Mrs. Marie
Wycoff, new mayor, of this
western Kansas village has
promised that she, her wom
an police judge and all-woman
city council won't hapg
chintz curtains in the windows
of the two-room city hall.
But it woman t surprise
Winona's menfolk if they
did, after what happened in
the municipal elections Tues
day. The seven women, none
with any political experience,
successfully waged a last
minute write-in vote cam
paign and ousted the seven
unopposed male candidates
for the city offices.
Nothing Like It
"I never saw anything like
it in my life," said E. T.
Huntington, editor and pub
lisher of the weekly Winona
Leader. "The town is" full of
characters." j
"We girls got together Sat
urday and decided to run af
ter several people called lis
and said it was time for a
change," Mrs. Wycoff said.
"It's quite an honor, I think
. . . but we didn't really ex
pect to win. I shouldn't say
that, should I?" she added.
The girls have no special
ax to grind, Mrs. Wycoff said.
"But we've been thinking
about the sewer system and
cleaning up the town a bit.
We also plan an addition to
the school."
Some of the male candi
dates still can't understand
how their opponents logged a
2-1 margin over them with
the write-in votes, Huntington
said.

The moment a Cadillac comes into view it begins to say
wonderful things about the man at the wheel. It tells of
his fine taste ... his good and practical judgment '. .V
his achievements in his chosen field. And the reasons for
this are found in the character of the car itself. For longer
than fifty years, .goodness has been the watchword;
craftsmanship the creed. In the lexicon of motordom
Cadillac is the world's best ' synonym for quality!
