out preeminently in basic value are
those providing more liberally for
educational institutions and better
highways.
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.

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

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.
