OREGON GASOLINE
TEST REQUIRED
IN Many STATES

That the Oregon law requiring Sc
degrees gravity test for gasoline, whose
repeal is sought by the oil companies,
is not a requirement of Oregon alone
but of many other states is the asser-
ton of Representative Martin of Salem,
a member of the legislative committee
that drafted the law. In proof he cites
a letter from the federal bureau of re-
filming, Washington, D. c., giving the
requirements of states as follows:
Oregon, Sc deg. gravity Be.
Indiana, Sc deg. gravity Be.
Iowa. gravity shall be 70 deg. Be to
80 Be.
Kansas, 5S deg. Be.
Missouri So deg. Be.
Montana, not less than 63 deg

South Dakota, gas machine gasoline
not less than "a deg. Baume.- Light
gasoline not less than so deg. Baume.
Power gasoline gravity~not less than
81 deg. Baume. Gasoline for auto en-
gines 50 deg. Baume to 62 deg. Baume.
| New Mexico. gravity 63 deg, .Baume.
! Similar to Oregon.
"Thee are many other state having
other quality tests on gasoline" de-
clares Mr.. Martin. "The above tests
of quality it will be sen are based on
the same test that Oregon adopted and
| the requirements are more stringent
yet in fairness to the company, If the
contention of the Kansas City labora-
tory is correct, higher quality test
may be required on eastern oils to give
a good grade of gasoline, yet the fac
remains that other states and other au-
Ithorities deem the Baume test prac'
teal.
''T do not say we should retain the
present law yet I believe that in fair

CITY OFFICIALS CAN'T
BE NONINA TED IN MAY
PRIMARIES, MACY SAYS

Because the ~''- charter makes
nominations non-partisan Salem city
officials to serve for next term, can
rot be nominated at the primaries in
May. This was pointed out Saturday
by City Attorney Bert w. Macy after
careful investigation of the laws,
both city and state, governing the
election, was made.
In the state the democrat and re-
publican parties are the only parties
qualifying for nominations under Sec
tlon 1859, l.. 0. L., as amended by
chapter 10S of the 1913 session, which
defines political party thus:
"A political party, or organization,
which at the last preceding general
election polled for for Its candidates
for presidential electors at least 20
per cent OF the entire vote cast for
that office in this state"
Therefore the primary election law
lof the state contemplates the nomina-
ton By party Of all city, county and
state officials, and there is no proyis-
ion for the nomination OF socialist,
prohibition, and non-partisan candi~
dates at primaries.
Non-Partisan Required
II specifically states In the city
charter, the section OF which follows
that all nominations for city offices
in Salem shall be non-partisan. II
lrcads:
"a primary election for the nomi'
nation OF candidates to be voted fol
at the regular general election shall
be held biennially at the same time
that the primary nominating election
for state and county officers is held
Names of candidates at such primary
election shall be proposed by peti
Ition. as provided by law. Names oi
candidates at such primary election
shall have no partisan designation
and all nominations for city offieei
shall be non partisan"
Legislation Necessary
In order to make II possible for th'
people OF Salem 10 nominate city Of
ficlals at the coming primaries Il
May. some legislation at the comini
special session Of Legislature, over
looming this. Is necessary. CITY Attor

that the first session has been fixed for

ever, will not be represented at the

Provision for the president to issue
the call for the initial meeting of the

United States Not Party.
The coming into force of the treaty

nically the state of war between this
country and Germany still exists, trade
between the countries was resumed
some months ago and is steadily in
creasing, particularly the export move
ment from the United States.
The United States, however, will not

carrying out it's terms nor can this
country send consular agents into Ger
