who escaped from the penitentiary

Bauer was sent to the penitentiary
from Linn county on September 2,

of from two to five years for bur
glary. Previously he was committed
to the prison from Washington coun
ty on -March' 2. 1909, following con

escaped from the: Institution- in Au

Freight increases for which appli
cations were recently filed by the
railroads -with the interstate com
merce commission at Washington will,
if granted, work a particular hard
ship- to the people of the Pacific
coast, according 'to J. N. Teal, wjio
has . just returned from a month's
trip to Washington and other eastern
points. Mr. Teal brought back word
with him that the hearing on the ap
plication of the railroads had been
set- for May 24, and he also brought
with "him what Is believed to be the
first copy of the application for the
rate increase seen In Portland.
The railroads are asking freight in
creases which, if granted, will mean
an increase of approximately $1,000,-
uoo.uoo a year in income, Mr. Teal
said yesterday." ' The applications are
listed under three classification!
those affecting the initial or eastern
roads, the southern roads and the
roads west of Chicago, and it is prob
able that the anolick tions will be
taken up at the forthcoming, hearfhg
in the order named, he said..
Study of Problem Urged
Regardless of the question as to
whether or jnot the increase is justi
fied and even assuming that uch an
increase in revenue is necessary for
the roads, it behooves the people of
the Pacific coast to study the matter
of rate increases thoroughly, as such
a percentage of increase as asked for
will affect the far west "both coming
and going" he said. Far western
points, located much farther away on
the average from both the point of
origin of the vast quantity of goods
brought here for consumption and
from the point of marketing to which
much of the goods produced here are
shipped, suffer by a much greater
freight increase under the application
than do points in which only short
distances are involved in the inter
change of goods.
"The increases in revenue, to the
railroads may be necessary," said Mr.
Teal, "but we should be sure that
the increases are made in an equitable
way and in a way that will disturb
conditions the least. No increase on
passenger service is asked, for in
stance, and it might well be asked if
freight should bear the entire burden
of increased rates."
Traffic Committee to Hear Talk.
A meeting of the Portland traffic
and transportation committee will
probably be held during the coming
week, at which time Mr. Teal will read
extracts from the application and
discuss the problem. The meeting will
be open to the public. A deplorable
feature of the situation is, in the opin
ion of Mr. Teal, that the hearing at
Washington has been set for such an
early date that it is practically im
possible for the proper investigation
to be made and facts obtained -which
would enable the sending of a rep
reservation from the Pacific coast to
Washington -for the hearing.
A 'hearing on the intermediate rate
case will be held at Spokane on Mon:
day and another hearing on the case
at San Francisco a weeK from Mon
day.- This case is ai outgrowth of
the old Spokane rate case, and be
cause of these two sessions, befth of
which are considered highly impor
tant by transportation men, it will be
impossible for Pacifeic coast represent
atives to attend the Washington ses
sion, unless tney aDsent tnemseives
from the Spokane and San Francisco
meetings.

Walla Before Republicans.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 15.
(Special.) The Carlyon road plan was
attacked and a budget system of state
finance favored by Cena-tor Coman of
Spokane, who opened the gubernato
rial campaign in southeastern Wash
ington here last evening. The meet
ing was held under the auspices o
the republican club "of Walla Walla
county.
Senator Coman Insisted he is enthu
8iastically in favor of good 'roads and
of extending the states system o
hard surfacing, but he declared th
Carylon plan w,ould embarrass the
state by limiting building, material t
cement, would saddle a burden upon
the state of $30,000,000 bonded indebt
edness requiring an additional $12,'
000.000 in interest and would only
speed up the present road buildm
programme five or six years at th
most. Owing to the present shortage
of labor and road-building machin
ery. he said current road taxes an
revenues from automobile ' licenses
would, provide - funds as rapidly as
they could be expended, efficiently.
In referring to the state's present
system of finance, he declared there
was much duplication of effort an
that waste was rampant. The presen
method of collecting revenues for the
state nublic school system and th
manner in which thes'e funds are dis
tributed were ' denounced. He ex
pressed the belief that by the adop
tioa of a revised school system code,
higher salaries could be paid to teach
ers and better educational opportuni
ties afforded more of the children,

Lose 1-3 of Their
Tire Mileage
Ask any" tire dealer or auto repair
man and he'll tell you why tires so
seldom live up - to their guaranteed
mileage. It's due in most cases to
your failure to keep as much air in
jour tires as you should. ,
You cannot tell by merely, glancing
at your tire whether.it has enough
air you must actually apply a pres
sure gauge to know.
The. TIROMETER Valve is an air
pressure gauge and yalve stem com
bined.. It indicates at all times the
air pressure your , tire is- carrying.
A transparent dust cap makes the
reading possible at a glance.
Equip your tubes with Tirometers.
They will add many miles to the life
of your tires and save you many
