,. V.LL CONTINUE TO I Daats Turning out Oae-ThirJ of Production Keeping Up Old Auto Sapplies Dttivit, April io The manufac ture of replacements' parts for the tmllions of Model "T" Ford cars still in daily ue continues to d-i m-ni nearly one thirJ the produc tion cr parity of Ford plauta here. Fctd oificaik estimate, from re ports of Jtoiers all over the coun try, that there are still approxi mately eight millions of Model "T" cars in constant use in the United States. Some of these cars are many years old. Every, now and then there are reports of Ford cars of the old brass-bound radiator types of twelve of fourteen years ago, still running after more than a hundred thousand miles of ser vice. The newest of the Model 'T" Fords is now nearly a year old, for the production of assembled Model "T" car was suspended in May, 1927, to make way for the new Mod?! "A". This suspension of assembled "T" cars did not effect the production schedule of Model "T"' replacements parts however. Throughout the past year the manufacture cf Model "T" p.,ru tunlir.ued to occupy about one third the production capacity of the Ford plants. A few days ago newspaper cor respondents here asked Henry Ford how l"ng he expected to continue malting parta for Model "T" cars. "Until the last Model 'T' if off the roads," Mr. Ford replied prompt ly. Then he added: "That may be ten years, but we do not intend to allow and ord car to become ob solete as long as it can be made use ful with reasonable replacements." Ford engineers, from tests and observations made lover a long period of years, have estimated that the average life of a Model "T" Ford car is about seven years.

OREGON LEADS COUNTRY IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION Motorists and Taxpayer Credited With Superiority of State Highways Oregon has the finest record in highway building of any state in the Union considering its population and car registrations. Some may praise the engineers who planned the high ways; some may laud those individ uals who have been inutrumental in carrying .the good roads message to the legislature, while others may tulogize the distiuguis'.'ed individ uals who have devoted time, energy and money to the m jveir.ent. The real , credit, however, is the Oregon State Motor Association points ou:, belong to tuc motorists and tax payers- of Oregon they have financed the thousands of miles of excellent roadways that . make every section of the state accessible. Without their assent no good roads movement would have been born; without their support no good sys tem could have been developed. While credit is due every man and woman who has labored for the bene fit of Oregon's highway system, the grestest credit belongs rightfully to the motorist and tax payer who foots the bill.

FAULT LAY IN BUILDING St. Fraacis Dam Built Uador Muni cipal Ownership The California commission ap pointed to investigate the cause of .he St. Francis dam distaster report .hat the break waa due to faulty :c nstruction. says the Corvallis 3.izette-Times, and that newspaper comments: "That's another typical triumph for municipal ownenhip. If a pri vate concern had been erecting this d:m, it would have h&d to submit to rigid state inspection, in addition to which, a private concern could not afford to build a dam ' that would go out A private concern could not stand the loss. It could not fall back on the taxpayers for replacement of the loss or the dam rce resulting. State laws ought to require too that state owned public utilities be assessed and taxed the same a3 private utilities, that they be required to set aside a deprecia tion and replacement fund and do every thing else that a private cor poration would have to do. If pub licly owned utilities had to do these things, there would be no public dwned utilities, for the trained busi ness men who run privately own?d utilities for profit would eo under sell the publie owned utilities run by politicians, that the public owned utilities would have no customers."
