At a time when further limitations on the use of gasoline in the northwest are being imposed in order to assure larger supplies for the armed forces it would seem desirable for the army authorities, themselves, to consider how they might economize in the use of gas. Such study would be particu larly to the point here in Central Oregon where, because of maneuver and other activities, gasoline nse is obviously at a high point. Were such study made attention would be called at onee to the consumption of gasoline involved in the truck trans port from Portland to Bend of class one commodities for the use of maneuver troops. So great has been the pressure on the railroad tines for freight movement of all sorts that the army has found it necessary to employ a large fleet of trucks with which to supplement the rails and there, obviously, is a heavy drain on the gasoline supply of the coast made neces sary to keep them rolling. In addition, it may be taken for granted, there must be a considerable movement of army equipment between Portland and Bend. We have no thought of suggesting that any of this Portland-Bend movement be turned over or back to the railroads as a means of conserving gasoline. We do suggest that with . a highway movement as heavy as this is the clearly apparent means of reducing road mileage and of cutting out summits to be crossed at a high fuel cost should be carefully examined and, if the balance of values turns out on the -favorable side. undertaken. We refer, of course, to the construction of the Warm Springs cut-off from the Wapinitia highway to Madras or, more exactly, to Warm Springs. From that point to Madras, of course, the highway' is already built. The journey from Portland to Bend and return, if the Warm Springs cut-off were built, would be cut 70 miles. In addition, a good many feet of rise and fall would be elimi nated. What these, would mean in terms of reduced con sumption of gasoline, oil, rubber, manpower, and equipment should be a simple matter for calculation by anyone having the figures of vehicle movement for and by the army. To this it would be proper to add the economies to be realized by the civilian vehicle movement so greatly increased in recent months by army activity at Madras, Redmond, frineville and Bend and the total could then be compared with the cost of construction of the cut-off We would like a chance at a bet that' the figures would show the construction more than justified. In days like these, we realize, something more than money costs must be taken into account in deciding whether or not a construction project shall or can be undertaken. In par ticular there are questions of manpower and of critical ma terial to be considered." Men cannot be drawn from the greater to the less important project. Steel, to take what is perhaps the most critcical of the materials entering into a highway project, may be more valuable in a ship than in a highway structure. Here is a case, however, where not only money but materials more critical than steel that is, gaso line and rubber are to be saved, f And in"pidintillv th bridge for which the steel is needed can be detoured for the time being.) . We hope that the army authorities will examine the pro ject keeping in mind the maneuver transport problems as well as those of a civilian nature. They might find some gas 10 use eisewnere.

This Day in History : OCTOBEB tl The senator from Oregon was brigadier and having served in the Mexican war General Baker was attached to General Stone's division guarding Washington.

A. Willis Robertson of Lex ington, Va., a hard-working mem ber of the ways and means com mittee which is now struggling with the 1944 tax bill. Robertson has been consistently for the sales tax as an emergency revenue produc er ever since the start of the war. His efforts have been In vain thus far, bat this year he th nks the fed eral retail sales Edson tax orooosal has a chance, first because of the des perate need lot Increased revenue. second because he thinks the treasury proposals to do some thing about it are thoroughly bad, third because the federal retail sales tax is better than the alter native treasury proposals, and finally because Robertson tninxa there Is an answer for every one ot the objections which has been raised against tne sales tax, as outlined previously in this space. - The treasury proposals, says Robertson, would remove taxes from Incomes below $1,700 a year and do little to Incomes below $2,000 a year. Yet In 1943 the 23.5 million people in tnese income groups will have earnings of $55 billion, which is $8 billion more than the entire national Income for 1932, and just equal to the na tional income In 1935. a a Nobody starved then, says Rob ertson, and therefore there is no justification for saving that groups with an income of $55 billion can't contribute to war financing through a retail sales tax. The treasury has proposed slight Increase In income taxes for the $2,000-a-year group, but would refurld the tax after the war, meaning, according to Robertson, that the higher income groups would then have to pay it. The lt per cent federal retail sales tax has been estimated to mean an 8 per cent Increase m the cost of living for the lower income groups, and for this rea son It has been argued that com pensating wage increases would have to be granted, which would be Inflationary and upsetting to the stabilization program. Robert son points out, however, that the treasury proposals can for a 47 per cent increase in income tax rates for people of the $3,000 a year income group. , If a man making $2,000 a year has 8 per cent added to his cost of living by reason of a 10 per cent sales tax and must have a wage increase to offset it, why shouldn't something be done to offset the Increased tax burden ot the $3,000 Income group? In effect, says Robertson, if a sales tax is in flationary because nobody's stan dard of living may be decreased ln wartime, why wouldn't the same principle apply to all tax increases 7 a a a It Is now argued. In fact, that far afrorri being inflationary, the sales tax is deflationary or regres sive in that it would act as a curb on buying power, touching this $55 billion income which would be left untouched by the treasury proposals. Further, the sales tax would afford the taxpayer a better opportunity to economize t n a n would an increase in income tax es. And if the tax be merely added to the ceiling price of goods, It would be considered purely as a war tax and not as an increase in the cost of living.

This was the largest crowd It had ever entertained. The Hudson's Bay company offi cial in charge of the fort tried to discourage the emigrants from going to the Willamette valley. He said it would be impossible to take the wagons over the rough country between the Snake and the Willamette. The route to California was shorter and easier, he declared. There was much discussion on this Important subject. The wo men of the train were In favor of continuing on to the Willamette valley with the wagons. They had started out to make new homes, and wagons would be needed to carry their household effects, and to work on the farms. Chiles and Martin announced that they were going to take the trail to California, and a number of others said they had made that decision also. At this crucial pe riod, Dr. Marcus Whitman was appealed to. . He declared that wagons could be taken to the Willamette. He had reacneo rort Boise with a cart in 1836, and said that the obstacles to be encoun tered could be overcome. He volunteered to lead the-way. It would be better, he said, to leave their wagons on the trail, if they had to, than to leave them at Fort Hall, thus accepting defeat with out a struggle. The Applegates and Peter Bur nett backed Whitman, and so the great- decision was made which helued materially to push the western boundary of the United states from tne kockics to me Pacific. Before leaving Fort Hall fun eral services were held for Daniel Richardson, who died of lever ana the hardships of the trail. His worries and labors were over; thelr's had just begun. He had reached the end of the trail and entered the promised land; for them the trail stretched far ahead before they, could seek rest. New Shipment . .
