Kditor Democrat:
Last Saturday I visited Corvallis
First I took in the public market
Three stalls occupied by butchers.
each with a large stock ol meat ol
various kind. Was told that some
days over a ton of beef was sold.
Four alalia had vegetables, etc. Une
of the.e had apples In one was a
large bowl of cottage cheese, An-
ilher, a iuantily of sauerkraut.
lb. i- two items I feel sure would
find a leady sale in Albany's public
market. It's a shame that our mar
ket is not better patronised.
It was conceded that the large O
A. C. student-bod, helped Corvallis
market. Said one old resident. "Cor-
illi, would not be much if it were
not for the college. Albany has tin
advantage in being on the mam rail
road line., and in having more in
dustrial plants." Corvallis had last
year more new nuiiaingi man ni

THE CAR SHORTAGE
The latest explanation of the great

ing. It is that the ears which should

have been transporting munitions.
Shellt and armament have their place
tm she nrld as it is organized, and
plunged into war, the transportation
system of the United States would
break down utterly.lt presents perhaps
the most alarming feature of our nat
ional unpreparedness. If it breaks
down every year or two in time of
peace, what would happen to it under
the traffic strain of war? Like Wal
lace Irwin's inquisitive Togo, we "ask
to know."
It can not he too often reiterated
that the railroads of the country can
not carry the country's goods with

The coat and price of kilowatts are two different things.
We do not expect to increase the PRICE of electrical energy to you. but
the COST of making and delivering the kilowatts is worrying us more
than a little.

Our cost of living problem is not unusual. Every other industry has to
meet it also. Most of the others can pass the additional expenses along
to the consumer by increasing the selling price of the product. WE
DO NOT.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COST OF LIVING
PROBLEM. Perhaps you have obtained an increase in your income
which win help you solve it. II you are working for the same salary or
less than you were before commodity prices soared you understand our
situation still better, because you sre in the same class with us.
It is only by doing a greater volume of business and combining on one
system of electrical requirements of this city that we can keep the
PRICE of kttowatts down.
