for police honors are req uired to de-
velop a certain amount of speed in
a track test, and some such arrange.
ment as this has been suggested for
Corvallis, in view of the approaching
city election and the amount of mate
rial offered for the Office or chief of
police. The merits of the proposition
cannot on short notice be certainly de-
termined, but it is suspected that it is
move on the part of some speedy
"dark horse," to eliminate from the
fiual contest some of the candidates
who might not be able to break the
tape within specified limit of time.

against the plan, but il 1t should be
persisted In, fair play would dictate a
handicap Of the younger candidates in
order to equalize the chances Of the
older and more corpulenG ones.
