the Idea He Is Being
Sneaked Up On, in This

BALE.M. Aug. 9. (P) It ill not
the desire of Secretary of State!
Hubs Hoss, cx-offlclo hcud of the
atato traffic department, or T. A.
Haffety, chief state truffle inspec
tor, thut officers In thn emiilnv
of the trafic department ' shall j
"sneak up" on motorists In the
hopes of multiplying- the- number
or arrests for truffle violations.
That 1g one reason why auto
mobiles and motorcycles used by
the department are ta be painted
distinctive colors. When this Is
dune the presence of officers on
the roads may he more easily de
tected by motorists with the re
fill! traffic regulations may be
complied with without personal
contact between officer and trav
eler. From Secretary Moss the order
has ono to Chief Haffety to have'
the automobiles of tho officers re
painted, with white bodies and
black tups, also with tlu Insignia
of the department stamped on
doors. Motorcycles are to bo
painted all white.
Distinctive colors for' traffic cars
and eyelet? have been adopted in
a number of other states. Secre
tary Hoss said and tho policy is
a success.
The Oregon traffic department
has a fleet of 44 automobiles and
l!i motorcycles. Tho cycles are
used for light, quick work and
I'linoi t entirely on paved high
ways. Experience, has proved that
motorcycles are not practical on
any but paved roads and it has
been found that the maintenance
cost of the .automobiles, many of
Ihem or tho small and cheaper
makes, - Is hot - ntuuh TmoW than
tho expense of'' keoplng up the
cycles. Another advantage over
cycles is that the automobilCB pro
tent the. officers from weather and
other hazards.
The number of carp owned by
the department. Chief Raffety
said. Is necessary because of the
various' duties of the officers.
Their service Is not confined en
tirely tu traffic. They travel tho
byways and country roads of the
state, correcting errors of license
applicant, mistakes In title regis
trations and other things that
sometimes cannot ho done by
mail. It is not known just how
"tioun the cars will appear In their
new dress. The paint has to be
done with a minimum loss of men

La keview highways, It Is said at
-the office of tho state highway
department.
The contract was awarded last
npritig tu .1. C. Compton at a con
tract price of $ 1 30, 1 42 for 4 4
miles of bituminous m a c a d a m
wearing surface. Four miles of
this is on the (ireen Springs high

highway and 2tl miles on
the Klamath Falls-Lakevlew road.
It is estimated tho contract will
.be eomplnted by September 1.
...The bituminous macadam Is bc--Injy
laid over' an old " macadam
base which wan laid several years
ago. Tho new wearing surface
averages about 2 1-8 inches In
thickness and tho average cost of
this part of the work Is $3.00 per
mile. To this, however. Is added
the cost of the rock and stock
pile which Is raid to be about
$2.ono a mile.
SAEEM. Aug. It. (!') Hy the

the niaradam surface of the
KooseVelt coast highway between
Cofiillle. Coos county, and the
California line, distance of about
in lies, according to It. II.
Haldoc k, maintenance engineer. A
state oil crew Is now at work

By ii careful study of oiling
method, the division Is able to

of all disputes of a juridical na

the number of ratificationH reached

who regard the "optional clause"
as one of the brightest omens in

out the remarkable progress which
It has mado since the court's con

The" general arbitration act, rati

ground than the "optional clause"
but covers It less vigorously. Tha
'.'optional clause" icnncerns only
disputes ot a juridical nature,

Tho . possibility that Trance's
ratification of tho generat act
would open tho way for revision .
of tho peace treaties has of course
been advanced in several quarters.
Characterizing this "fear" as chi
merical, however, ono ot tho most
experienced observers at Geneva
has added this comment:
"Arbitration, far from being a
means of rovlslng tho International

ami stabilizer. Tho arbitral Judges
cun pronounce judgment only, on
tho basis of existing law. Nothing,
therefore, Is more appropriate to
tho conservative and pacific policy
of Kratico than arbitration."
