We read of a safe motoring hin that seems to hit the bullseye the first shot—i“If you want to drive don’t drink; if you want to drink don’t drive.” Jupt a few words, but how much they would accomplish If all motorists headed the injunction! We wonder how many subordinate Granges there are in the otate like the Coquille Grange, which are not in sympathy with the action of State Grange Master Gill in his opposition to the sales tax. In another column in this issue the resolutions of the Co quille Grange appear in which the sales tax measure adopted at the special legislative session is approved and its adoption recommended. PRINCIPLE OF LAW RETAINED While the legislature gave the small truck owner some relief from especially aggravating provisions of the 1988 truck regulation law, it re fused to go back on the main princi ples underlying that law. The small truck owners put on a big parade through Salem streets and also crowd ed the statehouse demanding relief. The members, impressed, were not stampeded. They held to the princi ple that the trucks ought to pay the extra coot of widening, strengthening and maintaining roadway to the ex tent made necessary by the size and weight of the big vehicles. Also to the principle that the trucks should not be permitted to complete the de struction of the railroads as the car riers upon which producers must de pend chiefly for moving basic prod ucts to their major markets. In these respects they reflected the opinion of producers and highway users gener ally. For a synopsis of the changes in the law, we refer our readers to Trade Lanes, Dec. 14, number. We join that able transport weekly in calling on Public Utility Commissioner Charles M. Thomae to take the trouble of reading the amended law before try ing to extend favor under it.—Oregon Voter. TABLOIDS By W. 8. Sickels statistics, municipal and other taxing district' bonds aggregating approxi mately twenty billion dollars. It is estimated that ninety per cent of these bonds are now owned by such investment agencies as life finsurance companies, savings and other banka, charitable and educational institu tions, private trusts, endowment funds, etc., a* well as thousands of in dividuals who desire safety and so rority for their usual modest returns.

Upon a petition by the taxing dis- rict, consented to by creditors holding '0 per cent In amount of the indebted- less, and stating merely that the tax- ng district is ‘‘unable to meet its lebte as they mature,” and that it de- ires to readjust its debts “upon the asir of capacity to pay,” the Federal lankruptcy Court may take charge of he situation in the same manner as vith other bankrupt corporation or in ilvidual.

IT MAY BE JUST THE State boards and commissions now lumber 65. Two new ones were ere- ited by the last legislature—the 11- iuor control commission and the jnilk ontrol commission.

Figures compiled by he state police bureau show that in the first eleven months of the cur- ent year 218 penions met death on Oregon highways compared to 206 for he first eleven months of last year. Traffic accidents, however, show a big iecline as also do the number of in juries in these accidents. Governor Meier’s inattention business drew criticism from____ State Treadurer Holman this week when Jhe governor left the state to spend Christmas in Ban Francisco, In a statement to the press Holman point- id out that during the past three /ears the governor has been absent 'rom 38 meetings of the boasd of con trol and has neglected to call board neetings on 13 occasions required by law. On three different occasions, ioIman pointed out, Meier has ab sented himself from the capital for periods of six weeks. Holman charg ’d that the governor’s absence from Salem is resulting in neglect of pub lic work and in unnecessary expense to the taxpayers.
