Motor vehicles registered In
Oregon during the first seven
months OF 1921 exceed the total
number registered during the
whole OF 1920 by 5509. A COM
parison Of the states mentioned
above, on this basis, shows that
from January /, to August /, 1921,
the machines registered in Arizona
aggregate 1924 per cent of the
total registered during the entire
year 1920, while In Idaho the per-
centage was 93.58; in Montana,
1851; in Utah, 100.S4; In Wash
ington, 90.63; and In Oregon
1O5.3O. States reporting for the
first six months of 1921, show
Colorado, 96.40 per cent; Nevada
99.05; and Wyoming, 1O5.76, as
compared with their respective
registration for the full year OF
1920.
"The fact that motor vehicle
registrations for the first six or
seven months of 1921 equal from
90 to 105 per cent of all cars reg
istered during 1920, may, OF
course, be attributed to two causes
namely, an effective enforcement
OF the law requiring registration,
and an increase in the number Oh
motor vehicles coming into use.
And obviously the Increasing use
of motor vehicles reliably reflects
the comparative general conditions
Of industrial activity and prosper
ity. The figures given herewith
are therefore interesting, In that
they show oregon position to be
second among the states herein
only Wyoming having
made a slightly better showing.
cannot, Of course, be es-
timated, owing to the fact that the
13-months report submitted does
not afford fair basis for compart-
son with the other states."

Official figures received from eight
other western states show that
during this period Arizona regis
tered one motor vehicle for every
9.67 persons; Colorado, one for
every 7.27; Idaho, one for every
$40; Montana. one for every
9.05; Nevada, one for every 7.39;
Oregon, one for every 7.54; Utah,
one for every 1856: Washington,
one for every 7.l4; and Wyoming.
one for every s.6 persons. The
states mentioned thus range in the
following order IN ratio of motor
vehicles to total population:
Washington, Colorado, Oregon,
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Ari-
zona, Utah. The totals for the
state OF Nevada are inclusive OF
motorcycles. and there is, there
fore, no way Of ascertaining ac-
curately the position of this state
with reference to the present an
alysis. The only available report
from the state of California EN-
braces the period extending from
January /. 1920, to January 81,
1921, and shows the registration
OF 583,623 machines during the 13
months. Based upon the popula-
tion given that state by the census
figures of 1920, every 5.S7 persons
would own a motor vehicle, but of
course this is an incorrect form
OF computation, as the registration
totals, given above contain a dupli- !
cation to the extent of all cars reg
istered during the month OF Janu- |
ary, 1921. Since January in ev-
cry year is by far the heaviest reg
istration month, 1t may be fairly
concluded that California figures
for the twelve months in 1920
would not show a much greater
per capita ownership than in
or even in Oregon,
where good roads development was
retarded much longer than in the
other two coast states.

Oregon Is enjoying greater ue

This statement is based upon
statistics compiled by Secretary OF

from the other states in the far
western territory.

even months of 1921 show a

IAN examination Of the official
records on file in the office of the
secretary of State, reveals that
slightly over 13 per cent Of the

year 1920. The exact ratio OF cars
to population was .1324SS4. based
upon the official census OF 1920,

CHICAGO EDITORS
INDCRSE HUGHES PLAN
Has Rallied All America Be.
hind Him, Says Journal
BRooKL1NE, Mass, Nov. IA.

Additional editorial comment on the
Hughes proposal obtained by THE New
YORK HERALD follows:
Chicago JournaI-Secretary Hughes
has rallied the whole American people
behind hm-barrlng professional war
makers, of course-by his bold stroke for
naval reduction. He seems to have won
the support of Britain. Canada and Aus
trala as well. Japanese public opinion
Is less easy to read. but the liberal party
of Japan, at least, will approve the
Hughes plan. That plan has bold sim
plicity amounting to genius. May that
plan be as skilfuly pushed as IL was
wisely and boldly drawn, and may the
work in reducing land armament be as
farreaching and effective as that in curb
ing naves. The productiveness of the
earth has not lessened since 1914. The
horrible slaughter. which was the great
est and most enduring loss, will be made
good In time. Give the world relief from
ax'maments and security from wars and
Il can dig itself out OF the pit into which
the last war plunged II. Without such
relief and security, the case will be diff

standpoint, of the extinction of the al
lance. To this the Japanese will not
consent willingly. and their hope is that
the British Government will not yield 10
American pressure.
Our allies set much store by the asso-
citation with Great Britain. 1t gives
them material advantages-one may be
frank and honestly state facts-but
apart from material considerations 1t
appeals to japanese sentiment.
1t was England who extended the
right hand of fellowship to Japan at a
time when that meant much TO her. She
has never forgotten it. Japanese say to
me that the world believes the alliance
flatters Japanese pride, and while they
do not deny they are proud of being re-
garded as the equal of England, what
cndears the alliance to them is the
knowledge that they have of the bene-
fetal effects 1t has had upon Japan and
her politics and her people.
England, they say. has been great
example. The Japanese do not court
isolation but circumstances have con-
trived to that end. 1t Is England rather
than any other country they would pat
tenn after as modified to meet their
own requirements. and if England should
now desert them they. would be bitterly
disappointed.
The Japanese say they are ready at
f.ny time to change the terms of the alii-
ance so as to make it acceptable to the
United States and include that country
for the sake of preserving the peace Of
the Pacific, but that suggestion Is
scoffed at BY Americans. They will not
enter into an alliance with Japan even
# it includes England and its purpose
is not military but to make China ma
ton and to insure the peace and security
OF the Pacific. 1t Is the next announce
ment of Secretary Hughes touching the
ifar East that the Japanese await with
some trepidasion.

Special Despatch 10 The New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
|. Washington, ID. c., Nov. IA. }
While our delegates and the japanese
have not changed their position from
that of Saturday and see no reason why
the American proposals for the reduc-
ton of navies should not be accepted
by them in principle and as the basis
for future discussion and an annonunce-
ment to that effect will be made to-
morrow when the conference resumes It's
session, there Is a certain amount Oh
speculation and questioning in the Japa-
nese mind.
At the time when the invitations to
the conference were issued the Japa-
nese, it will be recalled, wanted the two
questions-armaments and Far Eastern
issues--discussed separately. but to this
the Washington Government would not
consent because, In its opinion, there
were not two distinct subjects to be
considered. but two branches of the
same subject so interviewer that there
could be no settlement of the one with
out the other.
When tho Japanese accepted without
reservation the American programme 1t
was generally believed that they would
use naval reduction to bargain with on
the Far East; that geographical express
sion so far as the japanese are con-
cerned being translated into the single
word China The American public built
up the theory that the japanese believed
the United States was so anxious to
reduce navies to satisfy American senti-
ment that It would be prepared to make
wide concessions in its Far Eastern
policy and the way would be open for
concession and COMPROMISE.
The Japanese, however, as / have al
ready explained, were sincere in their
declarations that they were willing to
reduce their navy proporuonately with
American reduction and they have
knocked the American popular theory of
bargaining on the head by their prompt
| acceptance of the American proposals
and the further assurance they give me
| that they are ready to make separate
treaty or agreement governing naval re-
duction and new construction regardless
| Of the outcome of the Far Eastern and
| Pacific negotiations.
There is, of course, some discussion as
to details. 1t is asked. for Instance,
whether q ten year naval holiday Is not
! too long and IL it might not be advisable
at the beginning to limit the closed sea-
son for shipbuilding to five years. but this
! is really q minor matter. II ten years
