MAWES PRETTY 10 BE MADE WHEN LADY SETS RECORD BONDS DELIVERED FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS LOCAL BONUS ATTORNEY BACK FROM ATTENDANCE IN PORT LAND WHERE ATTORNLES FROM ALL OVER THE STATE GATHERED There has recently been organiz ed in Portland an association known as the Motor Vehicle League of Oregon. Its secretary, A. V. Hem ming, declared that Orgon stands at the head of the freak list of legisla tion. Mr. Hemming further stated that funds for taxation purposes were being raised from the owners of motor vehicles, and the reason is because the owners are unorganized. W. S. Coe, representing the organ ization, and who is now at the Wil liams & Williams garage in this city, said to a representatve of the Headlight: “Jnoividual motor ve hicle owners have long past real ized their helplessness from an in dividual standpoint — idividualiy they are not heard. Their collective voice raised in protest against un fair legislation, or their united de mands for any measure beneficial to all, will be heard. What the automobile and truck owners need is proper representation, express ing their viewpoint before laws are enacted and taxes levies purporting to benefit them.’ "And,” Mr. Coe went on, “that is the purpose of the Motor Vehicle League of Oregon. But we also wish it strictly understood that it is not its purpose to oppose just and equitable legislation nor in any way to obstruct highway construction tourist travel. Our policy is con structive, desiring only to obtain a square deal.” The objects of tho organization can be brietly summed up under the following heads. 1. To protect motor vehicle own ers of the State of Oregon from in imical legislation and unfair taxa tion. 2. To develop a more equitable licensing system. 3. To oppose inadequate road and traffic laws governing motor vehicles. 4. To prevent waste of public road fund and help in the more equitable spending of same. 5. To represent motor vehicle owners at, all times for the purpose of bettering their condition. “If the people,” concluded Mr. Coe, “understand what the league really intends to do, every auto own er would become a member. I will be at the Williams garage all day Friday, and would like to have auto owners come and talk it over with me. The fee is only a dollar a year and it will be the best dollar an auto owner ever invested.” 12,550 POUNDS OF 824.35 POUNDS FAT ARE GIVEN MILK OF BY AND BUTTER PRIZE COW OWNED BY L. C.

Claussen, the local bonus at torney, has returned from Portland where he attended the meeting of the War Veterans’ Aid Commission last Frida?, at the Multnomah hotel. Mr. Clausen, in an interview with a Headlight representative, gave some valuable information for the men who are interested in the state loans. Mr. Claussen said: "All men who have received vouchers and have re turned them, will receive their money as soon as it can be forward ed. The treasurer will act as quick ly as possible. The thing that is holding up payment now is the de livery of the bonds, which are held up because of the strike of the litho graphers union. The state has sold ten million dollars of bonds which are in the hands of the lithograph ers. Last Friday the state made an effort to have the srike called off as far as the bonds were concerned, as the men were waiting for their money. If this cannot be arranged it is probable that the bonds will be printed instead of lithographed. It is certain, however, that something will be done. “The commission will be very strict about the loans in the matter of security, so that the stat« will not be compelled to take over a lot of property later on. Property will be appraised at a conservative esti mate. Appraisers will eliminate all inflated values. It is probable that the appraisal will be at about 75 per (Continued on page 8, col. 4.)
