STATE
GRANGE IS DEMANDING CHANGE
HIGHWAY SYSTEM
IN
The Oregon State Grange, in annual session at Eugene,
June cJ, adopted two resolutions voicing us cussausiacuuu
at the way m which state highway matters are being hand
led under the present political system. One resolution
asks that the state highway commission be abolished and
that a highway commissioner be electetd who will be held
responsible to the people. The resolution follows:
Be it resolved that the Oregon State Grange, now assembled, request
our executive committee to ' initiate a bill to be voted upon at our
next general election abolishing our pr-sent highway commission and
create the office of a highway commissioner to be elected by the peoople
said officer to be paid a salary and held responsible for efficient
j service. ;
The other resolution expresses dissatisfaction at the
lavish expenditure of money by the state highway com
mission ; dissatisfaction at the dictatorial attitude of the
highway commissioners, and urges that the people through
their county courts may have some say in regard to the
location of highways, on the principle that taxation with
out representation is repulsive in this land of the stars
and the stripes. Here s the resolution as adopted by the
state grange:
j Whereas, Our state highway commission is now expending a vast
'sum of state road funds each year and is becoming very dictatorial
to our citizens in each county of our state, thru which they are con
structing state roads, and
Whereas, They are duplicating many miles of roads, with seemingly
no object in doing so except to exercise their authority and to add a
needless expensfe to our state road funds, and
Whereas, Since its inauguration into our state there has
growing dissatisfaction in the methods used in offering state
our various counties thru indirectly compelling the county to
their proposition or nothing, and
i Whereas, We believe that the principle of taxation without
. sentation is just as repulsive to the true Americans today as
in 1776. Therefore be it resolved that the Oregon State Grange,
through their legislative committee, urge our next state legislature
to So amend our road laws as to give the citizens! of each county thru
their county courts the privilege of selecting the road or roads in their
respective county on which any county road funds are to be expended
in conjunction with anytstate highway funds.

Dallas Members of the regular
United States army are performing
their daily tasks with uncanny un
certainty as to the future, because
of the minimum of 150,000 men pro

This was the message of Colonel
Harold Fiske, who, during the world
war, (served with the rank of briga
dier-general on the staff of General
John J. Pershing, having charge of
the training of American troops over
seas. Colonel Fiske is visiting his
j mother, Mrs. C. S. Fiske; hii brother,
V. P. Fiske, postmaster of Dallas, and
sister, Mrs. Grace Barrett.
"We are facing a considerable re
duction in the size of the regular
forces," said Colonel Fiske.! "The

an atmosphere of uncertainty plain,

"The morale of the men is still sat

high as during the war period. It
has been maintained wonderfully

In addition to the national char
acter of the work, there is the inter
national aspect. In the disrupted
nations of Europe, wherever the min
istrations of the American Red Cross
have been felt, there follows instruc
tion in home hygiene. In the insular
possessions of the United States, i n
Alaska and elsewhere reports come

RED CROSS HOME WORK
IS SPREADING RAPIDLY
Washington American women and
girls are displaying an unprecedent
ed interest in home care of the sick.
How wide-spread is the increase of
their enthusiasm is shown by the an
nouncement by the American Red
Cross that enrollment in its chapter
classes in home hygiene and care of
the kick is growing at the rate of
more than 300 per cent annually.
Eighteen hundred Red Cross instruc
tors, in urban and rural communities
throughout the country, are now en
gaged in teaching home hygiene and
care of the sick.

In addition portions of the text-book

As a direct result of the opportunity

such classes, many young women

about your crankcasc
Road dust, carbon, fine metal particles and other
impurities accumulate in your crankcase oil from
engine operation.
The gritty oil circulates through your engine,
impairing ha performance, and ultimately leads to
rapid depreciation and repairs.
Automobile manufacturers recognize this dan
ger, and in their Instruction Books, carefully ad
vise regular draining and flushing of the crankcase.
These important instructions art often disre
garded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally
disliked.
To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning
Service has been established by first-class garages
and other dealers, co-operating with the Stand
ard 0L Company. These garages and dealers use
Calol Flashing OQ, the scientific agent that
deans out old oil, dirt, grit and other imparities,
and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of
fresh oil used.
The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the prop i
er grade of Zeroiene.
