The estimate for all of North America is 1,190,- 000,000 which is 58,000,000 bushels less than the yield of 1926. For Europe, except Russia, 1,277,000,000 bushels, against 1,211,000,000 last year; in North Africa 88,000,000 against 90,000,000 in 1926, and in Asia 368,000,000, against 369,000,- 000 last year. • „ The figures above stated should in dicate that wheat prices will advance as soon as the selling pressure caused by early marketing by Pacific coast farmers has reached its limits.

The state motor association went on record as having the betterment of existing highways so as to keep pace with the increased traffic de- tnand and the removal of safety hazards so as to make the use''of the highways safer. The financial condition of the state is in a sound condition so far as highway construction is concerned and certain portions of the state have voted bonds, paid license fees and gas tax for many years on the basis that the highway program, as out lined originally, would be completed. Any change in the financial plan would jeopardize the fulfillment of that promise and would react against the whole highway program. The present license fee system, while not perfect, has accomplished its purpose. A fine system oF highways has been constructed and the bonds are slowly but surely being retired. Not only that, but a small amount is available each year to match government money and so federal aid to the ex tent of 1 ^4 million dollars \is spent on Oregon rdads each year. Why change this satisfactory con dition for an unknown quantity? Things are progressing satisfactorily along the lines planned when the bond issue was voted by the people and we are pledged to this plan until the highway program is completed and bonds retired.
