If the peoplo of Oregon are of the

The governor of the atato hn the

maintaining n healthy public senti

make for community welfare. I have
been mindful of Ihl fact, hnvo mln

all In my power to piomote tho devel

the (omtrurtlon ot good roads, to cm,
phaslo the Importance of education,
and cipc-iially to maintain at white
heat tho riovotloa ot the people to the
great cau of liberty and democracy
for which the country Is fighting. If
re-elocted, I shall coutlnue to do ev
erything 1 can to accomplish these
ends.
Oiegon ha given 20,000 ot her
sou to the nrcnt world war. These
mon are tho How or of our young man
hood, and we have no clearer duty
than that of loynlly supporting them
providing for their health nnd com
foil and safeguarding their morals. I
shall continue to render them every
service In my power.
Under our form of government the
conduct of a foreign war devolves on
the president of the United States,
who la the comamnder-ln-cblef of the
army and nnvy. I shall do every
thing In my power to assist the presl.

ovory power and authority which I
possess to promote a maximum, effi

i'OUTI,ANL, March 31 Tbe grain
corporation of the food administra
tion hero la In receipt of a telegram
from M. H. Housor, second vice presi
dent, who' haa been In New York at
tending an executive meeting of tbe
roiporutlon. Mr. Houscr says:
"As undoubtedly some farmers are
undecided an to what crops to seed I
think all should bear In mind that the
price of wheat la guaranteed at 12.05,
and If the shipping board establishes
the expected rate, It will mean 10 to
15 cent higher at Pacific coast termi
nals. Furthermore, If there Is a largo
crop, wheat movement will certainly
have preference on all available car
suppllen on account of the govern
ment's guaranteed price for wheit
and the government also controlling
the tiillronds, whereas thU year, on
account of the short wheat'erop, oats,
burley and other coarse .grains were
used lamely a substitutes on account
of being unregulated In price ad
nnccU aboc parity of wheat price,
therefore. If we have a large wheat
crop wo undoubtedly will see a drastic
nnd decided rearrangement of
values."
