We frequently receive notices for
gratuitous publication from O. A. C.,
the state university and other insti
tutions which convey to us the
thought that they think they shall be
heard through their much speaking.
Those who write for free publication
ought to know that the fact is ex

words in which their message can be
expressed, the more likely it will be
to find a place in our columns. And

OREGON MOTOR LAW UPHELD
Oregon’s state law forbidding driv
er* of vehicles to go "at a rate that
will endanger the property of another
or the life or limb of any person,”
was upheld by the United States su

The case was brought to the court
on appeal of Frederick L. Miller,
Portland, Oregon, merchant, con

to 15 months in the penitentiary as
