Admittance to make, and will reduce the free. _ volume of gasoline extraction from crude oil. While the legislation is bur densome, with no compensating benefit, its theory is unsound and ill-conceived. Gravity is a poor measure of the quality of gasoline. The accepted stand - ard for the measurement of gas­ oline quality is its range of boil ing point. This is indicated in the report of the L nited Stat' s fuel administration committee, in which it is said: “There are no gravity limita­ tions in the specifications for aviation gasoline, nor in the specifications for moior gasoline, which are given later, for it has been found that gravity is of little or no value in determining the quality of gasoline.” Perhaps it is not to be ex­ pected that legislators should be familiar with these matters of technical and expert know! edge. But the situation illus­ trates the unsoundness of gov­ ernment interference in the af­ fairs of Its people. Trade con­ ditions, competition and the law of supply and demand will bet­ ter fix the proper standards of commercial products than the arbitrary edicts of non-expert lawmakers. The executive authorities in Oregon appreciate the difficulty of the situation created by the law in question, and are endeav­ oring to devise some means of relieving the public from the law’s burdensome result until the next legislative session. But j the whole incident shows the 1 folly of trying Ip regulate ordi- | nary commercial concern by legislative fiat. The Foreign Missionary so- ciety of the M. E. church will meet at the home of Mrs. T. C. Lord, corner 58th avenue and 88rd street, on Wednesday af­ ternoon, January 7.

The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion—more en­ gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter­ minals—there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow’ with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities—and so increase production — there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation’s business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow; Lents Baptist Church NURSERY STOCK — Italian prune, apple, pears, peach, plums, cherries etc. Logan, rasberry, strawberry etc. Use our MONEY SAVING SYSTEM ORDER BY MAIL— get fresh stock.
