NEW IRELAND
GOVERNMENT
FUNCT|ON|NG
FINAL FORNIALITIES OF AP-
PROVING TREATY WITH ENG.
LAND ARE NOW COMPLETE.
Arthur Griffith Becomes Supreme
Authority; Ministers Appointed
Include with Two Exceptions,
Members OF Republican Cabinet.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-THE provision
al government Of the Irish free state
Is now functioning body.
Final formalities of approving the
treaty with England were carried
out when, after historic meeting
In the Mansion House of representa-
tlves of the southern Irish constita
encies, who formally ratified the
treaty, Eamenn J. Duggan took to
Dublin castle copy Of the treaty
signed by the members of the new
government.
Sixty-fiye members, elected to sit
in the house OF commons in southern
Ireland. attended the morning meet
ing. No women representatives nor
any other adherents to Eamonn de
Valera, republican ex-president
were present.
First on the list OF eight men ap-
pointed as constituting the provision
al government Is Michael Collins
and II was assumed he will be made
the nominal head. AS a matter OF
fact, however. the correspondent is
authoritatively informed that Ar
thur Griffith. ex-president OF the
Dali and chairman Of the delegation
that negotiated the treaty, will be
looked to as its supreme authority.
Grifflth's Position Peculiar
The position of Mr.. Griffith is
one Of peculiar difficulty As presi-
Nent of the Dall-that is, the Irish
republic-he occupies the same posi-
tion as did Mr.. de Valera and during
treaty debate In the Dali, Miss Mary
MacSwiney and Erskine Childers de-
manded that he keep his two offices
Of republican president and head of
the new administration distinct.
Miss MacSwiney, Mr.. Childers and
others of the republican party also
stressed the necessity of keeping the
Irish republican parliament under
authority only Of the Dali. 1t was
regarded as significant, therefore,
that neither Mr.. Griffith nor Richard
Mulcahy, the Dail's new minister of
defense, has a nominal place in the
new administration. Ministers ap-
pointed to administer the provisional
government include, with two or
three exceptions, all the members
OF Mr.. Griffith's republican cabinet.

we are going to work chiefly for law
enforcement"
Miss Gordon stated further that

country with definite proofs of the
benefits recognized as being due to

WHY PRESENT MOTOR
LAW IS INVALID
(From Thursdays Daily

Attorny B. +. Lands, of Medford,
who has started a suit to test the
constitutionality of the motor pc
hicle law passed by the legislature,
makes the following statement as to
why the law is unconstitutional
AS matter of simple justice the
law could not stand. To take any
thing according to weight Is the
most unfair method of taxation that
could have been conceived. Accord
ing to this method an old broken up
car of antediluyian vintage, pays the
same tax as the brand new Pierce
Arrow, and the car that you have
been worrying along with for years
pays the same as the one just pur-
chased. In addition to that the law
permits all electrically driven ve-
hicles TO run at a flat rate of $35,
regardless Of their weight and
makes the gas driven cars pay much
larger amounts. An electrically
driven car can go as fast as the speed
limit will allow and will wear the
roads the same as any other car.
Another thing, the weight of the
car is only one factor in determin-
ing the wear of the road; light
car driven constantly will do more
damage to the road than large car
driven only occasionally. Then again.
you can take touring car, decide
to use it to haul articles instead of
people, put more weight into it, and
get a cheaper tax than 1t carried as
a pleasure vehicle.
Another thing, it is not a uniform
tax because it permits a person to
escape the tax by nOn-use. Put
your car in the garage for six
months and yet get by with half the
tax. A tax should be assessed be-
cause of ownership and not because
Of use. II that was legal, law
could be passed taking all the tax off
vacant housesp&nd unused lands.
There is another discriminatory
feature of the law that also shows
the injustice and discriminatory
feature of the law A truck with
wide wheel-base pays more than
truck with a narrow base. The re-
suit is a person owning a truck can
change the size of his wheel, make
it narrow instead of broad, get a
cheaper tax and then tear up the
road worse than ever.
1t cannot be claimed that this law
is a license as it expressly takes the
place of all other taxes and raises
money for a certain definite purpose.
II il is license il would still be un-
because 1t exempts
cars from taxation contrary to the
constitution of Oregon.
II is possible to secure a fair au-
law, and one that will pro-
vide the necessary revenue, but the
present law is unjust; will not pro-
vide the revenue expected because
of people will stop using
their autos or keep them unused for
six months; and does not give a COM
Drehensiye method OF raising the
needed revenue. and finally, It vio-
ates every known principal of tax
alton ever used in this or any other
nation to tax by weight and not by
value.

TRAVELLING MEN

{. R|CKENBACKER
(By International News Servlce)

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. IL
Travelling statesmen making their
Jumps between points by airplane
is not a dream, but soon will be a
reality.
Such is the statement of Captain
Eddie Rickenbacker, who was Amer
ica's king of the air" during the
war, who will soon make an expert
ment of this kind. The flying "ace"

bile firm selling machine which is

self and Is aiding In putting the car
on the market. Trains travel too
slowly for Rickenbacker, who says
he will soon introduce the travelling
salesman of the air."
Commercial flying will be a cas-
ual fact before long" he said while
here on a business trip. "For in
stance, I'm planning to cover a ter
ritory of 10000 miles this spring in
the interest of my business by plane
which would ordinarily take at least
seven months and require several
men for the job. shall do this in
one month.
Railroad Travel IrksOme
Colonel A. F. Lorenzin, who ac-
,cOmpanled RickenbaCker on his trip
NseS, said railroad travel is very
lrksOAne for the war hero and that
he pines for the air and the speedy
motor.
"On our way from New York to
Chicago" the colonel said, Eddie
looked out of the window and re-
marked how foolish It was to take
such length of time to come from
New York to Chicago He said we
should have been in Chicago many
hours before the time that we ar
rived there"
Here Rickenbacker stepped back
into the conversation.
"That's a fact" he said. at will
be nothing in the future for one to
fly from Chicago to New York, see
show, drop in for the Midnight
Frolics' on the roof, go down to the
aerodrOme, go to bed, and reach
Chicago by 6;30 or the next morn
ing in plenty of time for ordinary
business"
Eddie also contends that trip
could he made across the continent
in "a hours.
