IAN important element in military
preparation and advancement is the
proposed highway system in Oregon.
We right now are confronted with
what II would mean to attempt to
move troops and military equipment
over country roads in this state in

After making the foregoing state
ment, General George A. White re-
viewed the many advantages a coun-
try with good roads has over coun-
try with poor roads in time OF war
He called attention to the wonderful
highways OF France which enabled
that nation to move troops and sup
plies in double time and mentioned
Napoleon as the original. good roads

that it would be impossible to build
in Oregon a complete highway sys.

federal fuel administrators in each
state will see to it that the dealers
themselves will be called upon ito
return sworn costs sheets showing the
facts upon which they have based

DR.. Garfield selected 1915 as a nor.
NAL year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 1916. The
additional 80 per cent is allowed to
cover the retailers cost of doing bus
mess. Prices already fixed by the gov
eminent for coal at the mouth OF the
mine are near those charged In 1915
and with the jobbers charge now linn
tied to Is cents a ton and the cost of
transportation not materially iucreas-
ed, the consumer, in every community,

cription at approximately the price he

ley 1915 instead of $4.35. .
Some Prices Boosted
Another order revises upward the
mine prices in certain bituminous dis
tricts in which unusual conditions ex-
list, making, the cost of production

| GUS fields. The new prices for run of
