Naturally, this will mean a heavier tax budget, but the old trueism that you cannot get something for noth ing is applicable in this case. It is gratifying to realize that more boys and girls are going to have a chance to prepare themselves for a rounder, fuller life. Not all will get above mediocrity but some will accomplish things really worth while, by the op portunity which has ben provided. As to the road measure.

W. -w v0TA From a national standpoint the outstanding features of the Oregon primaries are the endorsement of Hiram Johnson for president by the republicans and George E.Chamber lin for United States senator by the democrats. Paradoxically as it may seem, neither had the sanction of the "powers that used to be" of his party. Various factors can be attributed to Mr. Johnson's victory, the most important, undoubtedly, being his personality. His declaration that he' is opposed to the league of nations brought him lots of. votes, for it must be admitted -that the propa ganda which has been so persistent ly spread for this question is acting as a boomerang. There is a very grave question in the opinion of many conservative people as to whether a favorable vote could be secured on the league at the present time. Of course, Mr. Johnson re ceived but a plurality endorsement Parker Southern Pacific Company is ready to move promptly to any point in this State or any other State it serves GASOLINE DISTILLATE KF.ROSENIl and FUEL OIL offered it for shipmeut and is ready to do all in its power to remedy any existing shortage with eood service Hays were grieved to learn of the very serious accident which befell them last Saturday near Eugene.

Mew Just bright SHOE Important Economy Features of Commercial Cars "A commercial car is judged on the basis of its operat ing costs costs that can be figured in terms of money and time," says Mr. Sayles, Independence local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars. "One of the principal items of expense is gasoline. Another is tires. Economy in these items therefore is important. "In selecting a commercial car care should be taken to see that the motor, in addition to being mechanically de pendable, is known for its economy in fuel consumption The capacity of the truck should be so well propor tioned to the power as to result in a further saving of fuel ; and also in a saving of tires. "Furthermore, commercial cars should be equipped with electric starters. This is an important feature in saving both gasoline and time. "The inconvenience of cranking the motor by hand is unpleasant to the average driver. It is a common prac tice, therefore, to let the motor run while the car is being loaded or is standing at a delivery stop. This is waste of gasoline and runs injto considerable money in time. "The electric starter eliminates this expense by elimin ating the inconvenience which caused it. "In addition Ithe electric starter saves the time required to set the control levers, walk to the front of the car, crank a cold engine, and climb back to the seat. "The combined saving of Itime and fuel effected in this way is a substantial item. It is a practical contribu tion to the greater economy of commercial car transporta tion." Sayles Motor Car Co.
