about your crankcase
Roaddust, carbon, fine metal particles and other
impurities accumulate in your crank case oil from
engine operation.
The gritty oil circulates through your engine,
impairing Us performance, and ultimately leads to v
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 are 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 OH Company. These garages and dealers use
Calol Flushing Oil, the scientific agent that
cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other impurities,
and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of
fresh oil used.
The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the pres 1
ar grade of Zerolene.

Wrecked and Deserted
Of 3,256 French villages totally
wrecked and deserted during the war,
8,216 have come back to life. Homes
have been rebuilt and daily occupa
tions resumed. Only 40 villages of
the 8,256 remain uninhabitable. The
Anglo-Saxon doesn't consider the
Latin especially plucky, but it will be
hard for the Saxon to beat this ex
ample of dogged determination to go
on.
A few years ago the people of
Beaverton and vicinity spent many
thousands of dollars in purchasing
right-of-way and otherwise assisting
the Oregon Electrjc Railway in bring
ing: iia eiectric ime into icis county.
Today that same company is so af
fected by the patronage extended to
auto busses and auto trucks that it
faces radical curtailment of service or
.perhaps absolute bankruptcy.
Would it not be a calamity to this
fine community for such a thing to
happen? Have our people given this
matter tferious consideration when
they have thoughtlessly given their
patronaare to auto busses and trucks
that pay practically no taxes here or
elsewhere aside from the small license
paid the State? The railroad com
pany is a heavy tax payer and spends
thousands of dollars for labor, mater
ials and supplies of all kinds,
The seriousness of the situation
may be gained by the perusal of the
following issued by the Oregon Elec
tric Company, which Vill give
Times readers an insight into the af
fairs of the company as they exist
ioaay;
The entire Oregon Electric Railway
failed to earn from all transpotation
sources sufficient money to pay run
ning expenses and taxes by $109,109.-
us m hub, sxti,4zu.t)Y in 1919 and
$278,907.97 in 1920, counting nothing
for interest on debt or return on in
vested funds. These sums were losses
in operation. The income from the
Jorst Urove Branch line was far less
proportionately than from the balance
oi the road.
A continued loss to a railway is the
same as to a farm, store or bank
failure. It Is a matter of concern to
the enterprise, but it is one eauallv to
the citizen in each community served.
The interest is mutual, the success or
lauure is common.
Jn this matter the live considera
tion for people of Washington Countv
on the Oregon Electric Railway west
of Garden Home is, do they value the
passenger, freight and express service
on this line, and do they value it
enough to express it in terms of pat
ronage; enough to help pay the taxes
and wages, cost of Dower. tieB. bridge
material, maintenance of track, equip
ment, station property, power line,
etc.?
Clearly it is a matter of patronage
by the people of Washington Countv
one of the richest in the state,
whose business and social relations
with Portland are close and constant,
requiring regular, frequent and stand
ard passenger and freight movements.
Patronage Withdrawn
Do the people of Washington County
realize the extent to which they have
withdrawn this patronage during the
recent past and that their district
more than any other has caused the
lesses to the Railway by transferring
their passenger and freight traffic to
auto buses and trucks?
And do they know that this with
drawal of patronage, with consequent
loss of revenue, has been made during
a period when every cost in the pro
duction of transportation has been
greatly increased?
More About Losses
The total month's gross income
from passengers using the Portland
Forest Grove trains almost, but not
quite, pays the bills for their propor
tion of the services of train and sta
tion men, for power and light
ihis leaves a loss in the conduct of
the passenger service alone on this
1 in a of more than $8,000.00 per month
lor expense oi substations, tracK,
bridges, buildings, equipment, clean
ing cars, etc. In addition there is an
uncovered item of about $2,000.00 .per
month in taxes, the passenger propor
tionin Washington County.
And these figures do not count ap
proximately $25,000.00 spent west of
warden Home for bridges filled and
renewed in 1920.
All these things mean that it costs
the Oregon Electric Railway in ser
vice more than two dollars for each
dollar of passenger revenue earned in
this district.
How long could the merchant,
Danker, miller, farmer or dairyman
continue in business on this basis of
income and expense?
This passenger patronage has been, i
fer from the electric train to the
auto bus since the introduction of the
latter, and particularly since the
completion of the hard surfaced road,
has been so marked aB to indicate that
the train is little wanted-a drop of
54 during the last three months of
1920, in the number of tickets sold
between Portland and Hillsboro and
Forest Grove.
The statements Riven above relate
to passenger traffic, but freight has
pers have transferred fully 60 of
their business from the railway to the
truck.
That traffic exists, and that the
people have transferred it from the
railway to auto buses and trucks, is
evident from the fact that at points
untouched by the latter the rail busi
ness was better in lyzu man in iviv.
A Community Affair
Does this disappearance of support
mean anything to these communities,
and is it a matter of concern to them,
it a problem for the Railway
only?
And who is the community, but the
individual citizen the passenger and
shipper- in it?
it seems clear that the concern ana
problem lie with the community and
its citizens If railway service is to
survive for how can it survive with
out adequate income derived from its
use by the people?
Something About Service
The Oregon Electric passenger
schedules are arranged for the move
ment of trains at hours to suit, the
normal requirements and convenience
of the business and pleasure of the
people living on its line. Early morn
ing, mia-morning, early aiternoon,
mid-afternoon, early evening in each
direction, and mid-evening to Port
land and after-the-theatre from
Portland, these trains move every
day.
They receive and discharge passen-
gers in the centers of the towns
served, and in the heart of the busi
ness, hotel and theatre districts of
Portland, Also they give similar
service to the small intermediate sta
tions, from which the towns receive
valuable business support.
These trains move with regularity,
in season and out, are comfortable,
clean, light and warm; ' they are
operated by trained men, and under
standard rules looking to safety and
protection of passengers. -
How about the bus on these points?
AM freight loaded in Portland late
in the afternoon has been delivered at
Hillsboro and Forest Grove at 7:00 A.
M,, when such expedited service has
been fairly appreciated and used by
shippers; with local freight trains in
addition, serving these towns and all
intermediate points.
Are not these services passenger
and freight vital parts of each com
munity's organism? Are they not
worthy of and entitled to support?
How can they be maintained without
the patronasre of the community as a
whole, and the individual in particu
lar?
The services mentioned are local in
character and constitute the largest
part of traffic in this district, but the
railway also Issuob you a ticket,
checks your bafrjraffe. arranges for
your berth, and carries your freight to
Spokane, unicago, new xora or
whsre-not: it places your town in
guides and tariffs covering train
schedules, fares and rates in every
passenger station and freight depot
in the country.
Is the bus or truck a substitute 7
Is not the railway service entitled
to survival by your patronage?
Obligation and Reciprocity
When the railway engages in busi
ness It assumes certain public oblige-!
tions of reasonable passenger and ,
freight service, the conduct of its
business under state and interstate
laws and regulations governing ser
vice, charges, safety, liability, hours
of work, wages, sanitation, etc. It
invests large sums of money in right
of way, track, bridges, electrical con
stitution, stations,' warehouses, indus
trial facilities, sub-stations, motive
power, equipment, etc. It expends
additional large sums annually for the
maintenance of this property owing
to the character of its usage and the
constant attack of natural elements.
It pays taxes on this oroperty. con
tributing to the substantial support
of the public organization. Its em
ployes' income is soon liberated in
communities of which they become
citizens to the benefit of fellow cit-iens.
Indeed the railway at once becomes
and continues an important institu
tion in each community, large or
small, which it serves not only the
agency for the transportation of pas
sengers and commodities, but a citi
en, without vote, doing1 business in1
each community, and contributing to :
its support through the public treas- j
ury, and giving employment to those I
who live and trade in various places.
Considering these matters of the
railway what of the obligation, in
vestment, properties, public and pri
vate support of the bus and truck?
Is not the railway entitled to your
reciprocal support through patronage
oz iacumes proviaea?
- Tax Details
The General Manager of the Parjsh
Manufacturing Corporation of Read
ing, Pa., manufacturers of pressed
steel automobile frames, who as
suredly Is interested in the success of
motor transportation, in an exhaus
tive study of the subject appearing
in The Annalist, May 16th, estimates
that the whole country is spending
$720,000,000.00 per year for con
struction and maintenance of roads,
which approximates $80.00 per car.
$11.00 per car being paid in licenses,
leaving $69.00 per car to be paid for
this road work by others of the public
wno ao not own cars.
These general figures may not ex
actly conform to conditions in Oregon
but they indicate something of the
cost of modern roads, which becomes i
a factor in auto transportation, large
ly borne by the public through various
forms ox taxation.
The increases in taxes concern ev
ery community and every citizen, as
they are substantial factors in the
cost of living to everyone, whether a
property holder or not, and are re
flected in higher rents, the price oz
merchandise, the expense of farming
and every other element of personal,
ousiness or community economy,
The taxes in Oregon have doubled
during the past six years. 'In Wash
ington the tax bill to be paid m
is $280,223.69 or 35 greater than
in 1920. Of this increase one-third
was directly for roads.
It fs apparent that each citizen is
properly interested in the use of the
highways which are costing him so
much and that he may well inquire if
the people who are using them, par
ticularly for commercial transporta
tion purposes, are paying to the pub
lic treasury a fair return for wear and
tear
The Oregon Electric Railway Com
pany will pay $27,156.00 in taxes on
property in Washington County, dur
ing 1921 an average of $2,263.00 per
month.
It should be interesting to the citi
zen of this county to- know the dis
tribution of this public support-
schools, (special) $6,576, roads (spec
ial) $4,125, cities $1,211, and state and
county (in which schools and roacU
participate) $15,243.
These are substantial sums in the
burget of the public treasury.
How con they be paid by the rail
way if it is not patronized by the peo
ple of this county?
How much does the public treasury
receive from the bus and truck, in
taxes, fees, etc.?
Considering this public support, is
not the railway entitled to the consid
eration of citizens in terms of recip
rocal support through patronage t
Mutual Help and Personal Economy
The statements contained herein
indicate that the citizen of Washingon
County has a concern in the existing
lack of patronage oi the uregon Elec
tric Railway which is leading it to
ward curtailment of train service or
insolvency.
This condition can be relieved by
the citizen who appreciates this rail
way as an agency valuable .to himself
and his community, who desires its
service continued, by use of its trains
to mutual benefit and profit.
Most of the trips of people in For
est Grove, Hillsboro and Beaverton
are to and from Portland. At Forest
Grove and Hillsboro the Portland
pesaenger fares on the railway and
the bus are about the same, at Beav
erton the rail is lower. But the
electric line gives the passenger the i

However, the railway also offers a
saving in passage charges ranging
from about 26 to 60, a factor of
economy which the banker, merchant,
farmer, teacher, housewife or laborer
cor aiders better than a bargain in
other purchases. Isn't it equally so
in the purchase of rides to Portland,
for yourself or your family? The
average person or family makes
more than enough trips to Portland

We believe that the statements
given show that the Oregon Electric
Railway on the basis of the services
provided and their cost, the employ
merit which it gives, Its , importance
as a transportation line, its returns
to the public in taxes, and the benefit
derived from the residence of its em
ployes, entitle it to the patronage of
residents of Washington County on
its line.
Do you not agree? Do you want
its standard of service continued? If
so, do you want it enough to express
it in terms of support which will
accomplish this by purchase of
