It. Speck, local manager for tho Stand ard Oil Co. Just what thU advance will be, Mr. Speck has not yet becu advised, but rumors are current that It will amount to four cents a gallon. Under tho existing statute, gas mar keted In Oregon must give a Haunio gravity test of GO, while in other sjates in the union a G4 degree stand ard Is used. This Is ono reason, Mr. Speck points out, that the nupply In Oregon ran short nt various times during the year, general stocks ot gasoline being unavailable for dis tribution in this state. Not only this, ho declares, but the product used elsewhere In tho United States has been found to be Just as efficient as tho grndo demanded In. Oregon. "Gravity is a poor measure, ot tho quality of gasoline," Mr. Speck said, In mentioning tho proposed prico raise. "Tho accepted standard for measurement ot quality -is the boil ing point, and eron In aviation, where the quality ot gas used must ho beyond question, there la no thought ot a gravity test.
