ing: to admit these days that the country's financial affairs
are efficiently run.
' Mr. DacDonald stresses importance of the Kellogg treaty
renouncing war. War, he says, "is impossible if you and we
do our duty in making the peace pact effective." That's
something for opponents of the treaty to ponder. No treaty,
no signed agreement is better than the word and honor of
the individuals or peoples behind it. Expression of the will
to renounce war is the vital thing in the Kellogg treaty.
OREGON CAR OWNERSHIP COST AIJOUT AVERAGE
The Oregon Voter does a real service to the state when it
explodes with a wealth of statistics the frequent statement
that Oregon motorists pay more for the privilege of car own
ership than rpsidents of any other state., Because Oregon
pioneered "mVu' definite state highway program and put its
. license fees on a basis that would bring that program to com
pletion, this state has received unfair and untrue publicity
and manjUaliiibii hf Mtoeivcd' wirong'iiiipressidlis.' '" 1
In a table' showing the average motor vehicle tax and foe
burden in all states, Oregon is fifteenth, Washington is six
teenth and California twenty-sixth from the top. In Oregon
the average cost is $11.25, which includes license fee and gas
tax, while the average for all states is $37.50, including prop
erty tax on automobiles in states where such a lax is levied.
California for examle, is above the average for all states with
a total cost of car ownership averaging $30.59 this including
license fee, gas tax and property tax. Commenting on the
comparison the Voter says:
"Within the last few years, other stales have caught
up with Oregon in their highway programs. At tho
s..me time, they were catching up in average exaction
iYom motor vehicles in the way of taxes and fees. Motor
vehicle license fees have been increased heavily in nearly
uli the states, and on top of those increases, all the states
;.;ive adopted tho gasoline tax and most of them have in
t c sed it every few years.
"It is these increases in fees and gasoline taxes which
....vti carried fourteen states ahead of Oregon in average
.actions from motor vehicles.
'Oregon no longer is in the top quartile, the top twelve
, of the 48 slates. It is in the middle half the 24 states
mmm lange is from $32 to $44 the average run of
oUilua ao, far as levies against motor transportation is
i iiiicui ned. No longer is our position unique no longer
may motorists assail us justly with the criticism that we
.re out of line in our charges."
Oregon citizens who have judged the slate charge for ve
hicles on tho surface without investigating carefully will do
wen io sumy 'iiicso liguies. No longer can they point to
the $3 fee in California and say that Oregon can do likewise.
Oregon, without property tax on automobiles, cannot justly
bo compared with the 31 stales that levy a property tax with
out taking that into consideration.
Considering the extent of the Oregon highway system
for which purpose our motor fees and gas taxes have been
levied and considering the area and comparatively sparee
population of this state, it is remarkable that the total cost
of our car ownership has been kept at such a low level. That
Oregon motorists get their money's worth is shown by a
comparison with many states whose citizens pay less and '
who have less. Iowa, for example, has one of the lowest '
averages, a total of $20.22, and has paid many times that in j
1 recent, years through Us nation-wide reputation for mud j
roads. Now with a hundred million dollar road pingiam j
' j just started the cost of car ownership in Iowa will necessarily !
I bo increased gradually to carry the burden. States cannot!
- have good roads without paying fur them. They often pay '
for them without having them. ' ' i

Eddie Collins surviving tlio chal

his invasion of tho west.
When Connie Muck hist led his
white elephunta into the strong

the pleasant visaged manager of

playing utility roles in the minor.

There wus unanimous agreement
on the Cub's pitching selection.
Charlie Hoot was elected by ac
