OF distributing the departments sur
plus supplies to the entire American
public
To have attempted" he declared.
TO make distribution of these sup
plies through established trade chan
nels would have entailed a nominal
commission. at least. and this COM
mission would necessarily have been
added to the price which the public
would have been required to pay The
operating expense of the stores is ap-
proximately SIS per cent. They have
served their purpose well. They were
opened on September 25; at the close
of business on December 6 the az
Eregate sales made by the stores
ftotaled $15,713.57215.
These stores will continue to op-
crate as long as the War Depart
ment has supplies with which to
stock them. and the volume OF busi-
ness transacted makes their opera
ton economical"

whether Salem got a paper mill or not.
The whole fight against the mill in the

Alderman w. A. West put the propo.
sition to the council as follows: 81 IN

cilmen to let the paper mill in. The
business interests Of the city are back
Of it. If we cannot fall in line with
what the city wants, we had better get
out Of the council"
Alderman II. II. Vandervorst said:
"I'n opposed to giving this water

Gasoline is known to the rehner as one men,
Der of the petroleum family. He distinguishes
each member of the family, not by gravity, but
by boiling points. Gravity is feeting stand
ard of test, but bsiing points are unchanging
in their value and always determine the quality
of the product. Knowing them the refiner can
keep his product uniform and reliable.

What Is a Boiling Point?

A boiling point is the temperature at which
liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.
In distilling given quantity of gasoline the
refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per
cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap-
Grated or distilled. In this way he determines
what is known as the initial boiling point, as
chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point

storage by evaporation would be great There
must be just enough low boiling points to va
porize freely and give easy starting. The higher
boiling points are necessary for quick accelera-
ton, high power and long mileage.
AS combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the gas, the con-
tinuous chain of boiling points-from the low
to the highs necessary for instantaneous,

titled, all-re6nery gasoline can have the contin-
uous, uniform chain of boiling points.

es without the necessity Of government

Mr.. McAdoo laid great stress on the
economies that would be effected by
government operation, such, for instance
as the elimination of duplicate salaries,
duplicate trains, and duplicate facilities.
But the fact remains that we are pay
ing more for transportation than ever be
fore without realizing any appreciable
benefits.
1t is true the railroad administration
has number of explanations to offer,
chief Of which is the extraordinary in
crease in wage granted to employees
While the various increases were doubt
less warranted, we must realize that they
were made from the standpoint of pater-
nalism and backed by the taxing power
of the government If such a policy
should be pursued indefinitely there is no
limit to which all salaries and wages
might not be advanced, and the burden
would ultimately have to be passed on to
the public, whether by means of increas-
ed rates or higher taxes.
Competent management of any under
taking must preserve balance between
income and expenditure. 1t is one of the
great evils of public ownership that little
attention is paid to this balance until
deficit seems imminent. The railroads
of the country would long since have
gone to ruin if they showed an annual ed
ficit Of anything like $250,000,000.
1t is certain, at-least, that the govern
ment has moral obligation to put the
railroads on paying basis before return
ing them to the private owners. 1t also
has an obligation to bring the lines to the
highest standard of operating efficiency.
But, regardless of the interests Of the
private owners, the public is entitled to

THE RAILROAD DEFICIT.

The railroad situation becomes more
and more involved as the facts regarding
government operation are brought to
light. Mr.. McAdoo originally held out
hope that the railroads could finish this
year with a substantial surplus-a sur
plus sufficient to justify a reduction in
rates. But instead of surplus, it now
appears there will be deficit of some
$250,000,000, and the government eSecu
tives are discussing the feasibility of in
creasing rates.
Now, we assume that the American
people would be willing to pay the in
crease il it could be shown they would
get a commensurate improvement in
service During the period of the war
they acquiesced in very considerable rate
advances be cause they realized the rail-
roads could not BE operated according to
old standards. Even so the people as a
whole received no better service than
they did before, and in many instances
it was worse.
Under private management the rail

IN MEMORY OF ROOSEVELT.

1t is with qualification we preceive the
interest shown by President Reinberg of
the county board and the members of the
committees appointed by him to set up
some heroic memorial to Roosevelt.
We hope the members of the commit
tee will be of one mind in deciding upon
the form Of the memorial; that they will
provide the people with some definite
and objective Installation Of the man;
that it will be something characteristic
and powerful, and not merely suggestive.
While there can be no resistance to
memorial institutions for the good they
will do, it may be urged that such institu
tons are unitarian and economic in
themselves and their Importance as mem
orial secondary in Importance.

sirable for the concrete effect upon the
