The Lane county industrial survey conducted
by the school of business administration of the
University of Oregon had the following to say
about "harmony and efficiency" in the Eugene
school system:

with cheap water transportation but to cut their
rate to such a drastic extent that it must make
the inland citites pay for the loss through ex-
horbitant rates is another question.
If the things said by delegates at the Western
Oregon Traffic association are true then we of
the inland cities should make a fight for justice in
freight rates.

Ordinarily we would say that this situation Is
Eugene’s business and does not concern us. But
when we consider consolidation we must view
these facts and make up our minds'1 as to whether
they are going to continue Indefinitely. If they
are, then do we want to become involved in these
school rows? We have sufficient troubles of our

There is a bill which has passed the state
senate which makes individual school district re­
sponsible for their debts previously incurred in
the event of consolidation of one or more districts.
This is a just measure. It should be applied also
to citites in the event of consolidation. It is mani­
festly unfair for a consolidated city to assume
the indebtedness of different sections. One part
may be badly in debt while the other is practical­
ly free from indebtedness.

T H E practical value o f F ord
sim plicity o f design is es­
pecially app aren t in the fuel
system.
T h e gasoline tank Is b u ilt
in tegral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy because it
is made o f heavy sheet steel,
terne plated to prevent rust
o r corrosion. An additional
factor o f strength is the fact
that it is composed o f only
two pieces, instead o f three
o r fo u r, and Is electrically
welded— not soldered.
Because o f the location o f
the tan k, the entire flow o f
gasoline is un even, natural
flow— fo llo w in g the nuturul
law o f gravity. T h is Is the
simplest am i most direct
way o f supplying gasoline to
the c arb u re to r without ’■ tri -
ations in pressure. T i e j o -
line feed pipe o f the new
F o rd it on ly IB inche» long
and is easily accessible all
the way.
T h e gasoline passes fro m
the tank to the carburetor
through a filte r o r sediment
b u lb m ounted on the steel
flash which separates the
g a s o lin e t a n k f r o m th e
engine.
T h e c arb u re to r is specially
designed and lias been b u ilt
to d e l i v e r m a n y
thousands o f miles
o f g o o d s e r v ic e .
Since all adjustments are
fixed except the needle valve
and ¡filer, there is practi­
cally nothing to get o ut o f
o rd er.
i
T h e choke ro d on the
flash acts ns u p rim e r and
nlsfi as a reg ulato r o f y o u r
gusoline m ix tu re. T h e new
hot spot m an ifo ld insures
com plete vaporization o f the
gasoline before it enters the
com bustion chum her o f the
engine.
As a m atter o f fact, the
fu e l system <»f the new Ford
is so sim ple in design and
so carefu lly made that it
requires very little service
attention.
T h e filte r o r sediment
liu lh should he cleaned at
te g u la r intervals and the
tu rh u re lo r screen removed

casionally the d rain plug at
the bottom o f th e e a rliiirc to r
