Patronize Home Industry
Med foid Clarion: "People of
Oregon are asleep at the Kip
Van Winkle switch. Yvhat Pied
Piper will awaken them? Mon
ey sent away, if spent with local
dealers, would enable them to
carry more goods and sell for
less. Larger stocks of goods
mean an increased valuation for
assessment thus mutually reduc
ing taxes. Prosperous merchants
employ more help, build better
homes and purchase local pro
ducts and commodities."
Ashland Tiding: "The BiUer
dollars and paper bills that are
conveyed from your community
to the coders of business in other
cities and in. other states are
reducing the volume of sales and
working capital of your city and
community."
Sutherlin Sun; "The money
spent with your home merchant
enables him to enlarge his busi
ness, improves property and en
courages new industry to locate
in the city and furnish employ
ment for many others."
Arlington Bulletin; "People
of Oregon have been taught by
their newspapers to prefer Ore
gon Made Goods which in general
have earned a reputation of
being superior in quality and to
be fairly priced."
Higher Penalty for Speeders
The following quotation, from
an editorial appearing recently
in one of the principal papers of
the state, carries a suggestion
that is undoubtedly worthy of
careful thought and consideration
and is given as a matter of
information in the event it may
not have come to your earlier
notice:
"The menace of a mere fine
does not deter a speed maniac;
the menace of a day in jail does
deter. All law-abiding citizens
will commend the new effort of
Chief Inspector Rafferty, but it
can not bring good results except
co operation of the committing
magistrates.
"It clearly appears that there
should be a general agreement
among justices of the peace and
police maiistrates on a uniforrn
penalty to be imposed regardless
of the prominence or obscurity
of the offender. A state con
vention, called for the purpose
'standardizing' the penalty for
excessive speeding would prepare
the way for permanent reform
Ihe weakness of the present
law is that a definite limit is set
for all highways. This ignores
the fact that speeding is a rela
tive rather than an exact offence.
Twenty-five miles per hour is
more hazardous speed on certain
highways than is forty miles on
il A . t tt
omers. as nnauy evolved our
speed laws should take into con
sideration conditions and should
be aimed to curb careless dri
ers." Secretary of State.
Thenames of LaFollette and
Wheeler will appear on the
Ooegon ballot opposite the names
of the electors whose certificates
of nomination have been filed
with the Secretary of State.
This is for the guidance of voters
who may not be' familiar with
the names of all the men selected
by the LaFollette forces for
electors for the state. This'
information is given to the state
committee by B. A. Green, Port
land attorney who prepared the
certificates of nomination for the
LaFollette electors.-LaFollette

Portland Shipping Report
Portland, Ore. According to
the figures compiled by the
Traffic Department of the Port
of Portland, Oregon, exports of
canned goods from Portland
during this month of July were
particularly heavy for this time
of the year. In fact were
heavier than for any month
during the past two years with
the exception of November, 1923,
On July 2.th the "Dominion
Miller" of the Furness (Pacific)
Line cleared from Portland with
a cargo of 26,423 cases of canned
goods dostinfid for various ports
in the United Kingdom. The
weight of these canned goods
amounted to more than a million
pounds which makes it one of
the largest cargoes of this
commodity ever to leave Port
land. An interesting fact in connec
tion with this cargo was that
there were 20,81 1 cases of canned
loganberries included. This is
a berry which is peculiar to the
Northwest. The demand in the
United Kingdom is becoming
heavier year by year as the
merits of this fruit are becoming
known. Besides the loganberries
the balance of the canned goodj
cargo was made up 'of straw
berries and raspberries.
This is the start of the new
season pack and space for the
United Kingdom for canned
goods is scarce. The total move
ment of canned goods during
the month amounted to 2,123,893
pounds of which the entire
amount with the exception of
5,000 pounds was delivered to
ports in the United Kingdom.
A comparison of this year's
business with last year's shows
that for the first seven months
of 1924 there were shipped nearly
2SO0 tons compared with 1300
tons during the same perio J of
1923.
Shipments of all lines of gen
eral cargo were heavier from
Portland during July, 1924, than

returned up to July 31, 1924, the
sum of $171,010.93 to operators
of farm tractors, motor bouts,
commercial cleanmg establish
ments, etc., pursuant to that
provision authorizing refunds of
taxes on such motor vehicle fuels
as are. used for purposes other
than in the operation of motor
vehicles upon the public high
ways. For the first six months
of 1924, gasoline sales reported
aggregate 37,823,085 gallo..s.
The total tax paid the state
thereon amounts to$l, 175,416.93.
Motor vehicle fuels taxes are

Fund, becoming available for
expenditure for the construction
and maintenance of state high
