In considering the vetoed bill this legislature seems Inclined to, some time during the session, look favonu bly upon and probably pass the Speak er Rusk bill of last session which provides (or a second . choice by the voters. The bill always seemed to us a good one, and In the Interest of fairness we never could understand why Governor West vetoed the meas ure unless It was to protect some po litical game that he bad on with oth er officials. It certainly looked as though that was the only reason. The senate this session bas already gone behind the Rusk bill and will fight for It throughout the session, while the house la fuddling with it back and forth. .But there is a possi bility of It passing both houses and be coming a law which would mean that a lot of foolishness bas , been ; done away with In elections in Oregon. The, Rusk bill is well known to every reader quite likely and needs no planatlon. It means that the voter ball have a second choice on election as well as a first choice. Other states that have this law working say It Is a good thing and it stands to reason that It would be. whom scatter to all parts of the country. The movement now under way as the result of the efforts of per. sons Interested ln mental hygiene proposes to bring the need of reform forcibly before the attention of Con gress, and numbers among Its sup porters members of many Influential organizations such as the Immigration Committee of the American Medico Psychological aHSOclation, officers of the National committee for Mental Hygiene, the Committee of Oi.'e Hun dred on National Health, and others equally Important.

Tbe great need for such restrictive regulations Is shown by the fact that the cost of caring for the alien insane In this state alone amounts to nearly $3,5ub. 000 a year, while tbe cost to the whole country Is of course many times greater. i - GO TO) 'E3I, LAIR. Our confidence in Senator Lair Thompson, of Lakevlew, Is crowing It always was good sufficient, but Lair Thompson is showing speed In legis lative matters. Ho Is showing that the organization does not dominate blm, neither d oes( the "mighty" gov ernor. When this session will have finished the name of Lair Thompson will have been connected with almost every fight for good legislation that occurs in the legislature and he will bave been a stumbling block to many f the corporations whose "pussy-footing" lobbyists are always watchful for tbo interests of their masters. I Go to 'em, Lair, you are from the cow country where you don't have to bow the bead or bend the knee to any man who offices in a story building, or , owns a string or mines, or naa stock In a wholesale house. Against YawlnaUoa. Editor Observer Dear Sir I would like to say a few words about' this' compulsory vaccination scare. Now I believe that this remedy is ten times worse than tbe disease and to my knowledge bas utterly undermined the health of . many children. Just think of having oiir loved o'nes Inocu lated with a lot of filthy viruB. The wlole scheme Is illegal and would de prive us of the liberty granted us by the constitution of the United States, to care for and protect our children from all danger and sickness without Interference from anyone. The whole proceeding is uncalled for and Is not Justified by any - epi demic existing In La Grande at the present time. A TAXPAYER WSllGHlATIOJi LAWS After years of discussion concern ing the need of more adequate lmm'.- gratlon laws, tho matter has now, come to a head here and a movement bas been launched which It is hoped will result In the remedying of exist-1 Ing conditions, particularly by exclud ing more carefully from this country aliens suffering from mental disorders whether In the advanced or early stag! es. While the movement has taken form here, It is of the greatest inter est to the whole country since it Is at this port that something like a million Immigrants arrive each year, mnny of CLEVER GIRLS USE THIS HI TONIC Women In Paris Know How to Jlme - Fascinating Hair That Com. ... , pels Admiration. . , , Don't feel envious because your hair Is lifeless and faded, get a bot tle of PARISIAN Sage and see bow quickly it will become brilliant, and fascinating.
