"The population of Canada la slightly less than eight millions. The -perkapit ability to absorb automobiles is! substantially the same as that of the United States. The Dominion government realiz ing that j manufacture of automo biles in Canada! for Canadian con sumption exclusive would have Insufficient volume to permit prices comparable I with those In the United States, amended the tariff regulations, making Canada a free trade country for export.' That is, raw materials Imported into Canada for manufacture,, and parts or junits brought in for as sembling, are assessed at the time of entry and the duty is remitted when the completed motor vehicle is exported. This naturally makes more desirable! the expansion we have always had in, mind. "As soon as possible "after the opening of thej Toronto plant In February; production will be on a much larger scale than In the former Canadian plant, to care for .the ever increasing Canadian and other British demand for Dodge Brothers motor cars."

H. H. Shocker at 349 Ferry stree where it is pos sible to have the ailing automobile put back into the flush of youth on the credit plan. It would seem that in this state of high license prices this would be a godsend to the weary auto owner. Mr. .Shocker ; reports , that the new plan is gaining in favor rap idly and anticipates that as the public becomes more acquainted with the system there will.be a' very heavy demand for his serv ices. Xine years experience in the auto repairing business makes Mr. Shocker amply competent to diagnose and treat the ailments of the most ailing car whether It be. a Pierce Arrow with the gout in its manifold or a Ford with a chillblaln in the gas tank.

To help guard against these abuses it is proposed by Senator Dennis to establish a State Colonization commission and equip It with an appropriation that 1 will . enable It Jo supervise state effort at land Settlement. j ' 1 The t "commission shall have general supervision of state ef forts tof bring and locate in the state of Oregon desirable .persons who' wish to acquire lands and follow agrlcultuTa'UoT other pur suits," saysS? 1166, the, Dennis bill.

But can a state commission do this? Would a state commission dare divert one settler from one. irrigation pro ject? Would not the people In terested in the project raise such an outcry against such a state commission that the next legisla ture would abolish the commis sion? 1 - "'". And if the commission did not have courage to keep inexperien ced settlers front trying to. con vert sagebrush. Into alfalfa and pay $100 or more an, acre from the profits of the venture, what good would the commission be? For the state to attempt to be a father and mother to the home- seeker may be attempting too much. But there is no question as to the worthy purpose behind the movement. The only question Is as to its practicability. Oregon Voter, made by Maria Dueltgen of Pedee.
