' , Take the case pf canned goods com ing from Chicago. -Wo ship quite a few carried .goods in from Chicago and at present the rate is 11.50. This rate applies equallyao Pcntflelton and to; Portland. The result of this rate la'lhat Pendleton Is able to go into tho wholesale -business on canned goods Hind can wholesale these goods, meet ing1 Portland competition at Hook, OTogon, ;or a distance of 97 miles from Pfndleton. If the application of the carriers which Is now pending goes Into effect the rate on canned goods to Portland and other coast points will be reduced to $1.15 while tho Pendleton rate will remain at 11.60. The result of this adjustment will be that Pendleton can only distribute canned goods as far as trrigon, Ore gon, a' distance of 6-0 miles, before meeting Portland competition. In h"H Pendleton will lose 47 miles of her Jobbing territory on canned goods. Would Hurt Pendleton. Now take the caso of drugs, medi cines and chemicals. A great deal of these come from Ind.'nnnpolis. Today the rate is 12.83 1-2 either to Portland or Pendleton and Pendleton controls the territory as fnr as Hook.

The carriers now propose to reduce the rate to Portland and coast points to 13.00, leaving Pendleton and other In terior points on the basis of 2.83 1-2, or a discriminatory taoc upon Pendle ton of .83 1.2c If these rates go Into effect, Tendloton will bo able to dis tribute drugs only as far as Nolln, Oregon, or a distance oM7 miles when the will run into ..Portland compel1 Hon.: Qn. this class of commodities Jr-ndleton will lose &0 miles of her wholesale territory.

Under the federal aid road act sign- i ed by President Harding last week Oregon will receive as its apportion ment for post roads approximately 11.180.000 and $1,325,000 for forest roads. Of the above mentioned am ounts one-third is Immediately avail able and tho remainder after July 1 next year. The recently enacted law has n i much broader significance than an appropriation measure. In the first place It Is a definite commitment of the federal government to state .".Id In the development of stato and count v highways. It also contemplates the ultimate creation of a national sys tem of highways through interstate connection, eliminating the possibility of the establishment of a federal commission as provided for by the Townsend bill, which was strongly ad vocated by special Interests. I'ndei the law the administration of the ut-'.i-onal government's Interest will con'l,-. ue with the department of agriculture thr.t.igh the United States burca of read. Itoaxls III Two Classes. The terms of the law provides that the roads of a state are to be put in two classes, primary and secondary. The primary roads are to constitute the Interstate skeleton with proper connections at state lines. The sec ondary roads are to form what may bo called tho lntorcounty system With in the state. For tho primary roads tho allot ment Of funds Is to be 60 per cent Our Motto is to be 100 Percent Membership Declares Rev. G. L. Clark, City Chairman. Rev. George L. Clark, city chair man for the annual Ited Cross Itoll Call announced this afternoon that the city was being thoroughly organized and that the actual drive for members would start Wednesday. "Our mctto Is to be 100 per cent membership," declared Mr. Clark. "By that we mean 100 per cent Jn tho business hourscs and 100 per cent In the homes as well. While we are anx- ious to get all the large subscriptions that tho peoplo feel like giving we are moro anxious to get a large local mem bership than we arc a few number of subscriptions." The membership feo Is one dollar, With this one dollar the American Red Cross during the last year worked through 1,397 chapters In as many communities, cnrrled on organized work for the service and exscrvlce men jf tho American army and navy and their families.

President Harding probably will is-! sue a proclamation of peace with the Central powers late today or tomor-' row, the white house Indicated today. The st.-.te department Is now drafting' tho proclamation. I and for the secondary system 40 per cent. From a federal standpoint the law will involve a recasting of state high- way systems, as It provides that only 7 per cent of the total state mileage can receive federal money. For example, Oregon has now ap proximately 42.000 miles of Ftatc anil county roads. Of this mileage only about 3000 miles will be eligible to federal aid. Of this mileage three- fourths or 1300 miles are to be class. ed as primary road and four-seventh, or 1700 miles, as secondary road. New Map Necessary. The designation of primary and sec ondary roads is to be made by the state highway commission, which Is to prepare a map showing the proposed system to meet the requirements o" the federal law. This map is to be approved by the secretary of agricul ture before any federal funds are made available. It Is quite obvious that the state highway eommlsion has before It a difficult task In reducing tho mileage and making the selection of highways to meet the approval of the secretary of agriculture, who has the final say as to the disposal of the federal fund. It will be a hard prob lem to select 1300 miles of primary road and 1700 miles of secondary road without producing local friction. In the designation of a primary system It Is the chief purpose of the federal law to procure a system of completed roads and when once the roads are designated no other loads fContlnued on page B.l PRESIDENT HARDING LAYS CORNER STONE FOR NEW VICTORY MEMORIAL TODAY '- WASHINGTON, NOV- 14.

Japan's acceptance "in principle" at least, has been forecast by a statement by Baron Admiral Kato and others of the Jap anese delegation. Great Britain's principal consideration, framing a reply, which Balfour will make, has been how to bring France and Italy within the scope of the plan. The American delegates im pressed the British with their desirability of first disposing of the question as it affects the United States, Great Britain and Japan. JAPAN. TOKIO, Nov. 14. (U. P.)
