New Views w nat do you think can be. done to diminish traffic dents?" This question was asked yesieraay By statesman report ers. Recmlatiner Truck Lines THE people who think that the way to restore equality of competition between railroads and bus and truck lines are due for a rude awakening. "Regulation" extent only so far as to establish rules and standards. In the case of the railroads it has been a form of discipline, but there is no prospect that such disciplinary control over the newer forms of transport will in any way equalize the competition. Here is what you find among truck lines : First there are the common carriers, doing a general hauling business in accordance with published schedules of rates. Second, there are the contract carriers, doing business any which way, making a new rate or "contract" whenever a load is in sight. Third, there are the privately owned trucks front- the one-ton truck of a farmer to haul his produce to market to the five-ton truck of a wholesale house which distributes meats and groceries to stores in its territory. If the law pinches down too hard on common carrier trucks, they turn into contract carriers. If the law is too severe on them, firms may buy their own truck lines ; and law always hesitates a long time before it imposes any re straints on a farmer hauling his fruit and stock to market. How will you discriminate among the different classes and ownerships. The crux of the comDlaint is that trucks operate on high ways built and paid for by the state, and thus, compared with railroads most of which bought their rights-of-way and laid the rails and bridges, are in effect subsidized by the states. Moreover what taxes the trucks pay go chiefly into funds to build more highways, while railroad taxes go to help pay for roads used by their competitors. Undoubtedly there should be some thing done to straighten out the demoralized situation in the truck haul ing business itself which is now a dog-eat-dog proposition. -There are as many contract rates for hauling between here and Portland for example as there are prices for a set of store teeth. So regulation may perhaps untangle part of the mess. But there ought to.be some better way of equalizing the tax burden between the truck lines and the railroads. We can't indefinitely ride the stages and ship by truck, and then expect the railroads to pay a third or half the taxes of our school districts, et al. Since the legislature will never stand the gun of soaking taxes on trucks and busses to a degree ...t.,.lnn4 4-Via nilmiidii 4 Via rtovnla mo v waVu nn snmfl day and find that the railroads will be among the tax rebels, rea7h tho8.ge orSoovef they or else lines of road will be abandoned. are just as dangerous as a driv- In spite of all the attention the interstate commerce er as those under is years of age.

This writer resents any such charge of "underhand method." Months ago we asked Sec. Hoss for opportunity to inspect this equipment, and renewed the request on Tues- day. AI Lindbeck, reporter for the Oregon Journal, had voiced the same desire, so a trip was arranged for Wednesday, bteve Stone, reporter for the Capital-Journal, happened to be at the penitentiary when our party arrived, and accompanied us to the cell block. Others who went along were Supt. Lewis, Warden Halley, and Engineer Ellison. In yesterday's Statesman we reported our observations and conclusions. The job isn't the best in design; but the doors are usable. It is a shame in a cell block otherwise per fect not to have the very best type of cell door equipment, The type installed has numerous deficiencies which are ap parent in a thorough inspection; but not so great as to war rant rejecting the job, particularly when the real blunder was made in ordering this type of equipment over the pro test of the prison administration. The doors will work, but every time they clang, bang .shut they clang, bang a noisy chorus to the blunder of the governor in stubbornly insisting on a type of equipment he knew nothing about, and now is unwilling thoroughly to in spect, and brands those who do go out to look the job over as using an "underhand method." than chant the death song or dance war dances with him.'

A dozen times he decided to bring Dr. Price, but always held back, remembering the warning words of that stricken man beyond the door. What mis trust could Bob have of the biott. olaia-SDoken doctor? Yet he had been so insistent "No doctor," he had said, "no doctor." By six o'clock Bob a delirium had not quieted. The man was pitifully weak and ia distress. Tbe girl still crouched by the bed. She seemed strangely out of place in that low cut spangled dress. Her black eyes were without hope. "He hasn't known me," she whis pered up at him. "Not once." Ted looked once more into the man's agonized face, aud made hia decision. "I'm going to bring Dr. Price." "But" "I know. It puts Bob at his mercy. But if we don't get help, he'll die" Then after a moment he added slow ly. "And Price won't tell" "How can yoa be sure?" Ted's big hands clenched. He looked down at the pale, vncon sdous figure beneath the bedclothes. This man was his friend, and now he lay helpless, perhaps dying. won't let him tell." Kadcliffe an swered quietly.

"Just got back from the Mexlcaa quarter," he grumbled. "If they'd only have their babies at some white maa's hour " Then he stopped as he caught the tense, anxious look is Radcfiff e's eyes. "Ifs about Bob." Ted told him, "Bring whatever you need for a gua wound and come with me. Hastily Price filled his satchel and followed the man to the car. "What's happened?" "Bob was shot in the side. He has lost a lot of blood. He's de lirious now." "When was he shot?" "Last night before midnight.' "What ia hell did you wait till now for?" Ted was silent. As they sped down the street Price pulled his hat low over his forehead. "Just how did it happen ?" Ted's eyes were fixed on the "And yet, suppose someone talks suppose I talk?"

She had changed her costume for a simple linen dress, and beyond a close glance and a nod. Price gave no sign of her presence. For a long time he looked down on the bed. At la it be called tor warm water, and with Ted's help changed the bandages. Through it all Bob lay lo a state of half-con- actousness. Price darkened the room, then again sat in troubled silence watching the pale face, To Ted and the girl he spoke no word until they were oa thje porch outside. "Well?" Ted forced hiauelf to ask.

Blount laughed "I'm getting to be an old woman. But with men getting picked off right around your own tent Oh, you haven't heard. Price, have von?" And tne major. eager as always to be the bearer of news, told the doctor of the past nights encounter. Ted watched Price s eyes tighten with suspicion, then harden into cer tainty. Once he glanced quickly up at Radcliffe. "And so," Blount concluded, "no body yet knows who the killer is." With his foot Price traced aa in tricate pattern in the sand. "I won. der if some of us couldn't make a fair guess." The major looked up eagerly, then decideM it was one of Price's jokes. He laughed. "Don't want guesses, doctor. I want facts. If you're go ing to town. Price, I'll give you a lift" But the doctor had suddenly changed his mind. "Thanks," h. said. "Ted and I have a few im portant things to say to each other within the next half-hour." Turning on his heel, he made his way back to the hoase. On the porch Doctor Price sank into a chair and chewed for a time on his cigar while Ted sat silently on the top step looking across the sands. Dimly h knew the thoughts that were passing through the doc tor's mind. He knew too where those tboegtrts at last must lead. There was no stopping that He had . taken a chance and lost The least he could do now was to insure the silence of this man. Tensely he sat and waited. At last he felt the doc tor's eyes upon him. Ted looked up. Price's face .was worn, the eyes troubled with this- new, unwelcome knowledge. At last he spoke. "I've half expected this. More than half. And yet it doesn't make the truth any sweeter." His voice came in a slow undertone, as if unwilling to frame the words. "So the trail of El Coyote leads herel Another of life's little comedies. Yesterday the unknown terror of the border. To day a helpless, wounded man." "Not helpless. Dr. Price." Price looked quickly up. Some new quality ia Radcliffe's voice reached him. He understood. -Meaning be has you, Ted. Yes, I take that back about his being helpless. And yet suppose someone talks suppose I talk?" The doctor's words came as a direct challenge.
