The Motor Vehicle Law
T.vu important features of the mo
tor wliioif law which have been call
ed to our attt-ntiun by Secretary of
Su.!e. Sam Kozer, and which seem
to have not been thoroughly under
s;ood by many persons over the state,
relate to the issuanec of licenses to
persons under sixteen years of age
and to persons who are "physically
imapaeilated."
The Operator's Law (Section 4,
Chapter 3, Laws Special Session,
19i'0) specifically prohibits the is
suanee of a license or a permit to
any person under the age of sixteen
years, whether or not such person be
the owner of a motor vehicle, and
the same section further enacts that
"No person, who is the owner or
custodian of any motor vehicle, shall
permit any person who is less ,than
sixteen years of age to operate or
drive any such motor vehicle or em
ploy any person to operate or drive
any such motor vehicle who is less
than eighteen years of age and a li
censed operator or chauffeur."
The term "physically incapacita
ted" is defined to include "any per
son who has lost the us of one hand
or one foot, or who has lost the use
of both feet, or whose eyesight or
hearing are greatly impaired."
Attorney General Brown has ruled
that the motor vehicle law does not
include nonresident car owners and
likewise nonresident operators are
exempt so far as the working of the
motor vehicle law is concerned.
The newspapers are beginning to
feel the effect once more of private
ownership of railroads. Not that we
are contending especially for private
ownership, but while Uncle Sam was
runnicg the roads he did very little
advertising. Of course be had his
hands full taking care of the stress
of war business and didn't cater to
tourist trade to any considerable ex
tent. Once more we have the call to field
and stream and beach resort. Vaca
tionists are given the advantage of
special round trip fares. The roads
are bidding for the business again
and it seems like one sign that con
ditions really are getting at least a
little bit back to normal.
Cement roads built by the State
Highway Commission of California
are going to pieces rapidly. They
were not heavy enough to stand the
strain of modern traffic. Coating
them with thin coats of asphalt was
tried, but the coats wore through
quickly and disintegrated under the
strain of traffic and weather. Coat
ing with a 2-inch thickness of as-
phaltic pavement was tried, but the
traffic squeezed the paving coat into
ruts and bumps. The subject is re
ceiving attention from the newspa
pers, and the taxpayers as well as the
motor and truck owners are stirred
up. California built lighter roads
than did Oregon. The foresight of
our Oregon highway commission in
building a better quality of pavement
is being vindicated. Oregon Voter.
Briefly Told
A number of infuriated eagles, dis
turbed by motion picture men in the
Californlan mountains, pursued the
auto in which the men were driving
and destroyed the car's top before
being beaten off.
Enamel steel guide signs will be
erected on the Lincoln Highway be
tween New York and Omaha.
Since goat's milk is said to be more
nourishing and better for children
than cow's milk the Chicago Health
Commissioner Is encouraging its use.
Efforts will be made this summer
to raise the Laurentic which contain
ed more than $16,000,000 In gold
when It was torpedoed.
Verdun will celebrate annually the
battle which occured on June 23,
1916, when the German advance was
stemmed.
A bill bus been Introduced into
tii English House of Commons
which would impose fines for fallurt
to vote.
Georges Carpentier paid an Income
tax of eight per cent on all money
he made in the United States before
sailing permit could be granted.
Mrs. Pankhurst Is still holding
meetings in London and frequently
her speeches end in a riot. Recently
she boxed the cars of a man who
differed with her and a scrimmage
ensued. Mrs. Pankhurst sought
safety in a railroad station.
Motion picture censorship In Mex
ico has been abandoned by order of
President Huerta who declares that
!t "hindered the development of the
Industry."
In the passing of J. Frank Hunley,
ex-senator from Indiana, and former
candidate for president on the prohi
bition ticket, America loses an able
Utusiuun and a staunch cititen.
Tving the Blame to the Wrong
End
If it strikes us at times that cost
of living is clear out of sight, and it's
quite apt to strike us that way daily,;
we are apt to iet our thoughts take'
us to the counter over which we do,
our buying and straightway start'
blaming the local merchant for a cun-
Jitioa that I.e does not help to create,:
to say nothing of giving it existence, j
Hoarders of food supplies have
been found. They have even been
fined heavily by the United States
government, but those boarders were
not found among the country mer-
hants. Taken the country over,
prices out of retail stores will be
found to run along the same level.
The retailer is entitled to a profit.
He cannot sell his goods at a less
figure than cost plus a reasonable
profit. Many of our country mer
chants, due to business conditions,
could not hoard foodstuffs if they
wanted to ever so badly, for the pre
sent system is against that.
Hoarding is done at the other end
of the line, as may be witnessed by
the daily press reports of one large
concern or another in the cities, be
ing jerked up by federal authorities
for holding foodstuffs In warehouses.
Holding in order that the demand
may grow still greater than the sup
ply and then slowly feed these goods
out upon the market at a still higher
price.
The local merchants may be short
on some lines, but they cannot and
should not be accused of hoarding,
for common sense should tell us that
the hoarding is being done at the
other end of the line where the big
fellows have first whack and are in
a position to get a firm hold on the
necessities of life.
During the last five years too high
a proportion of Grunt county ranches
have become encumbered with finan
cial obligations, says the Blue Moun
tain Eagle of Canyon City. These
debts have been incurred during good
times' or during the time when live
stock prices were at their best.
Stockmen have had to mortgage their
ranches in spite of the high prices
they have received for beef, sheep
and wool the past few years. The In
creased cost of labor, and the high
cost of feed has not kept up with
the price received for livestock. It
is all well enough for the Department
of Agriculture, Financial Agents, and
the big packing plants to send out
alluring reports about the stockmen
and the big profits. This is all bun
combe. The stockmen of Eastern Ore
gon know better, and so do some of
the financla institutions that have ad
vanced the money to carry the stock
men over the good times.

Its taking America longer to get
over the effects of the war than our
European allies, according to the re
port brought back from that, country
by a Heppner man who spent the
winter In Northern Belgium and Hol
land. He says Industry is going for
ward, everybody Is working, wages
are good and the cost of living Is not
as high as in this country. A revela
tion of his trip was the prosperous
condition he found existing in Bel
gium a year after the great war.
Had the Pendleton Jail breakers
been content to gain their liberty
without the shedding of human
blood, there would have been a si
lent hunt by Taylor and his deputies
with the public looking on with but
little interest, as the original crime
committed by these men was insigni
ficant when compared with the cold
premeditated murder of Sheriff Tay-j
lor. When murder was done, there j
were thousands of persons in the ':
state ready to lay aside the tasks of
the day and devote all their energies
to hunting down the desperadoes.
Hart and his bunch had about one
chance in ten thousand of ever get
ting completely away. In the mean
time work at Salem on the new scaf
fold is being rushed and the hang
man's noose is rapidly taking shape.
