COc FULL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT THE RECALL WOULD BE FAR MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE REFERENDUM. Everybody is holding hi3 breath while the Yamhillers are getting ready to take the Referendum on. some of the appro priations made by the legislature. Why not take the Referendum on the legislature itself? What -good has ever been accomplished by taking the refer endum on bills allowing money by the leigslature? Not a dollar has ever been saved and it i3 only locking the stable door after the horse is stolen. A far better plan and the only plan left to the people is to take the Recall' to those who knock out the people's laws rais ing revenues. When the people enact a law for putting money into the treasury it should be made treason to tamper with such a law. While not a dollar will be saved by the referendum move ment in Yamhill, there is a time for some good reform. Some good will come from the agitation because the people have about reached the limit of their taxpaying power. When people complain about high taxes they will sometimes listen to a little plain common sense on political lines. All political discontent in Oregon has found vent in electing Democratic governors. But Democrat or Republican, with our boasted Oregon sys tem in full swing, taxes have gone higher and higher. There is no recourse for the man who pays taxes but to quit playing the game. When the voter registers, goes to the Primary, goes to the polls he plays the game of the tax eater, the salary grabber and the grafter. The only recourse is the recall never vote but to recall one of the above class. Quit electing men to office for the only result is higher taxes, more officials, higher salaries, larger appropriations and more grafts. Reverse the process, quit electing, and start the Recall sys tem. When you recall there must be someone elected in place of the official recalled. The people must endorse the grafter or elect a man on the anti-graft issue. To show how completely the people look at one fact. Four years ago the Grangers initiated a gross earnings tax on hitherto untaxed corporations. The law wa9 upheld in the supreme court and the money be gan to roll into the treasury. The Standard Oil Company, The Wells Fargo Express Company. The Pulman Sleeping Car Company. The Armour Refrigerator Car Company. The Long Distance Telephone Company. The Western Union Telegraph Company. The Postal Telegraph and Cable Company. And other gigantic corporations were all required to pay $2 tax on every $100 receipts in Oregon into the state treasury. That was the law enacted by the people, and the corpora tions were beginning to pay the tax. The Bell Telephone Company appealed to the U. S. supreme court. But all the rest were paying, and if the law stood half the state tax would by this time be paid by these corporations. Something had to be done, so the last legislature created the State Tax Commission. The law creating this commission was "prepared" by "honor ables." No sooner was it passed than a test case was made up and a circuit court decided that the gross earnings tax was repealed "by implication." . On the strength of that decision another official decides that no more taxes can be collected under the "People's law." The aforesaid multi-millionaire corporations are released from this tax of $2.00 on the $100. Instead of a half million taxes each year, the people get "im plication" soup. But they seem to like the soup and give the officials who fed them soup immense popular votes. Taxes on property mount higher and higher. "People's" laws afe knocked out by "implication." Great is officialism, but far greater are the corporations. Party names are a fraud to delude the voter. The time has come for a new party the People's Recall party The voters can wear their legs off going to the polls, and taxes will go higher and higher. Next year taxes will be higher than this year, and this year they are higher than last. But what cares professional officialism, so long as the fool voters play their game? Reverse the game. Don't vote but to recall the tax-eater, the tax-raiser, the common enemy. Organize the recall party, and know no other party. It would be hard to fix the responsibility for the nullification of the corporation gross earnings tax. But some official turned that trick.and relieved the interests. - The matter should be discussed and the responsibility fixed. If a law enacted by the people, under the power of Direct Legislation, can be repealed "by implication," there is no weap on left to the people but the recall. The propie have no protection against officials and courts who nullify their laws but the recall. A f . .fO Afraid to use hair preparations? XXtrQld C Certainly not, If your doctor approves.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE 0E HUNDRED ASD FIFTY TONS EXPLODE, SHAKING THE COUN TRY FOR A RADIUS OF NEARLY 200 MILES. UNHID PKEBS LURID WIBl Kenosha, Wis., March 10.-The lit tle city of pleasant Prairie Is off the map today as the result of the ex plosion yesterday of 150 tons of dyna mite at the plant of the Dupont De Nemours Rowder company. In which two lives were lost. Not a building was left standing. So great was the force of the explosion that the entire region from Cleveland, Ohio, to Clin ton, Iowa, was badly shaken. The damage to the powder plant other buildings at Pleasant Prairie and to contiguous territory Is estimated at $1,500,000. Fortunately the plant was closed down at the time and only 18 men were at work. These escaped with minor Injuries except Engineer Jo seph Flynn, who was blown to atoms and a man who has not been identi fied, who was killed. The cause of the explosion Is unknown. THE JAPS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE MOVE JAP PAPKIt AT CAPITAL SAYS, IT. 8. WANTS TO TAKE MEXICO, AND IF WE DO THERE IS NO 1JODY CAPABLE OF PREVENT IXG IT. Toklo, March 10. "The activity of the American forces in mobiliz ing on the Mexican frontier Is most significant," the Hochl says editor ially today. "It is more aggressive and displays more hostility than would be shown by a mere series of maneuvers." The Hochl adds that the action of troops and warships Is a sign of approaching realization of Pan Amerlcanlsm; that there Is no doubt that America's ultimate object Is the annexation of Canada, Mexlo.3 and the southern republics, but that it Is confronted with two obstacle of the Latins ambition and the possible growth of Mexico and a. powerful confederacy pt southern republics. Even England, In the opinion of the Hochl, dare not interfere with Pan-Americanism; Japan Is compli cated In Far Eastern politics, and the United States may safely profit by the Mexican revolution to fore stall . German ambition In South America. The Japanese press in general makes no comment on the military activity In the United States, and no official cognizance '. as been public ly taken of the maneuvers o , WHERE IS THE MO It A L TO THIS LITTLE TALE? Manhattan Kan., March 10. Two years ago, without a dollar of his own or the prospect of getting one, James Benner a student in the state agricultural college here, subscribed $1,000 to a fund for building a new Daptlst church. With the last install ment paid, Bonner is back at college today, doing double work In the hope of graduating this Spring. ' After subscribing $1,000, Bonner went to work for the American Steel and Wire company and after working 18 months had more than saved enough to make good his subscription. o WILL HOLD MANY FARMERS' INSTITUTES Corvallls, March 10. A large num ber of farmers' institutes will be held throughout the state during the next few months said Dr. James Wlthycombe today. Requests are coming In from many communities in the state for representatives from the state and the college to make ad dresses and give suggestions for the carrying on of certain experimental work In these localities. "The college could use practically three times as many experts as are now available in the extension work alone," said Dr. Wlthycombe. "We will send men to as many of the in stitutes as Is possible, but we cannot I anywhere near meet the demand. It will be our policy to send represen tatives out to do institute work tn the fields where Institutes have not been previously held." TERRIFIC CYCLONE SWEEPS AUSTRALIA Melbourne, March 10. A terrific cyclone has passed across a district In Glppsland, clearing a track three miles wide and 10 miles long across the giant gum trees. No loss of life has been reported aa a result of the storm. i Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder cleanses, preserves and beauti fies the teeth, prevents tooth decay and imparts purity and iragrance to the bream WILL TRY GROWING RICE IN OREGON Charles E. Chambllss, expert in charge of rice Investigations for the United States Department of Agri culture, will arrive in Portland soon to investigate the possibility of rice growing in the Willamette Valley. It Is probable that the first experiment will be made near Stayton as It is thought that the mild winters, early springs, abundance of water and dry summers and autumns of the valley might prove that the valley was es pecially adapted to rice growing. It was also pointed out that the charac ter of the soil was similar to that in the vicinity of Louisiana, Arkansas, where the elevation, also was about the same. Mr. Chambllss writes from Washington as follows: "Our success with the testing of rices at Red Bluff, California, last season has encouraged us to enter the state of Oregon with this work. We have planned to locate somewhere in the Willamette Valley. We can furnish seed rice from our California plants of last year for the planting of at least five acres and shall be glad to do so if the company referred to will furnish us land, team, labor and water for the making of the crop. Besides supplying the seed, we will give such Instructions for the culti vation and irrigation of the crop as we. may deem necessary." It is said that under the modern method .of handling rice fields the cost of labor does not furnish an ob struction. Headers are used in cut ting the rice plants and threshers handle the grain the same as if it were wheat. There is a duty of two cents a pound on rice Imported from other countries and a ready market is found for the product In the United States at iVi cents a pound. o HAD TOOTH PULLED WHEN SIX DAYS OLD York, Pa., March 10. Although less than a week old the Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Conley has al ready been In the hands of the den tist. Teething usually does not come along before the age of 10 or 12 months, but this precocious young ster had a tooth pulled when only six days old. MILITARY IS BUSY IN THE PHILIPPINES Manila, March 10. Unusual mili tary activity has been in progress here during the last few weeks. Ar my transports sailing from San Fran cisco have been heavily loaded with troops. At Corrlgedor Island addi tional artillerymen have been re ceived and assigned to stations. It has been noticed also that the Japanese have been buying unusual quantities of rice and coal. Some doubt is still expressed as to whether Col. Roosevelt is out after voters or subscribers. Facts About Motherhood The experience of Motherhood Is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Xot one woman in a hun dred is prepared or understands how to iproperly care f orher- self. Of course near ly every woman now adays has medical treatment at the time of child-birth, but Eiun y approach the experience with an orpmism unfitted for tho trial of strength, and when flie strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. 1 here is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of chil dren, and indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting frin an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time iu which to prepare, but thev, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that I.ydia K. IHukham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong. Any woman 'who would like special advice In regard to this matter is cordially Invited to write to Mm. Pinklinm at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be bold, in strict coutidcuce. STATE NEWS.
