OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON 1 - TTL 3 I ir air HlVMfi "HHP "You Are Just as Old as Your Spine" VEN tack as far as Caesar's time tKis saying was used. In later years, men substituted for it "A moil's lust as old as he feels." Taking the two. and combining the meaning, we have the true expression and CHIROPRACTIC interpretation "A MAN'S JUST AS OLD AS HIS SPINE ALLOWS HIM TO FEEL." The spinal column is the main conduit through which the nerve cables pass from the brain, and from which the tiny feed ers are distributed to every portion of the body. If through abnormal curvature, the bones of the spinal column obstruct the free flow of the health-fcivin& currents from the brain to the bodily organs, disease results in the organs so affected. The Chiropractor adjusts the cause of the trouble, removes the pressure on the nerves without the use of Dru&s or Knife. This allows Nature to build up the diseased organs or tissues. Health Is Normal. Disease Is Abnormal If there is any abnormal condition present in your body which is causing you suffering, let Chiropractic brinfc back normal conditions so you may afcain enjoy feood health. DRS.

Salem.-Just as in previous ses- -innsL the first week of the twenty- eighth session passed with very little accomplished aside from organization. When organization was compieieu, instead of getting promptly down to work considerable time was wasted in oratory over the number of clerks and stenographers to be employed. Some of the lawmakers, in view of the econ omy talk which prevailed, thought it would be a good idea to negui wiui cutting down the running expenses of the session by getting along with few er clerks, but after the flow of talk ceased both houses concluded the us ual number of clerks would be necessary. In the senate, with Senator V. Lair Thompson, of Lake county, as presid ing officer, the legislative wheels ap pear to be running smoothly, but in the houBe, as a result of dissatisfac tion over Speaker Ben Selling's com mittee appointments and an antagon istic spirit which arose against the Multnomah county delegation, a well defined mutiny against the house or ganization developed. A few hotheads even talked of deposing the speaker, nullifying his committee appointments and substituting others nominated from the floor of the house. Number of Important Bills Introduced While much of the first week of the session was taken up with organiza tion, inauguration of the Governor and useless oratory over clerkships, when DON'T STAND HITCHED Voters Talk One Way and then Vote the Other Way The budget as prepared by the state and given out by secretary's office is $8,775,396.47. This is a bud get the ax can be used on. From it can be cut board after board and commission after commission, and after the cutting none will ever notice the difference in the government of the state. The legislature has its op portunity to greatly reduce both state and county taxation. If it does so the members redeem their promises. If they do not there will be a different result when the next amendment comes up to the people to abolish a part or all of the legislature. Oregon City Courier. When such an amendment is placed before the voters they will have for gotten. The people, be it understood, do not exercise the best of judgment on every election occasion. If there were a law that the taxes be paid in October, the election coming one month later might show a different result than it generally does. Most of the people forget in six months, but they do not in thirty days. Woodburn Independent. There is a world of truth in the above, but the writer has often won dered whether it is foreetfulness or fear. In the last election there were at least four initiative measures that were unquestionably for 'the benefit of the farmers and workmgmen. And these people were making a noise that was heard all over Oregon aeainst hitrh taxation and needless burdens. , But before it came time to vote Charlie Mason representing the Leis ure Class of Portland, sent out a few scare bulletins and the noise makers quit their racket, fell in line and voted for the millionaire bunch as usual. The one ray of hope is that the people can't always be fooled and that thev won't always be scared. Some day perhaps they will "get hep" to the three shell game, and if they ever do get thoroughly wised up perhaps they will remember ana re fuse to shy. WHAT SHE WANTED "I want to stop my baby's cough," said a young mother Tuesday, "but I won't give him any harmful drugs." She bought Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. It loosens the cough quickly, stimudates the mucus mem brane and helps throw off the chok ing secretion, eases pain and gives the child normal rest. Jones Drug Co. WILL STILL HOLD THE REINS If the overwhelming defeat that greeted so many of the measures submitted to the people last tall tends to discourage the submission of freak measures that can have no hope of passage, amendment of the init iative and referendum law will not be urgent. If the cranks are not deterred by the fate of the freak measures of last year, then some steps should be taken to protect the good name of Oregon, and to prevent this biennial burdening of the voters with the study of bills that are a menace to the state, and certain of defeat as soon as the voters can get to the election booth. Springfield News. er, take a chew of tobacco and come take a look at this land of evil. Pendleton East Oregonian. , Horticultural Bill Is Up. The bill providing for the creation of a state horticultural commissioner, prepared by the state horticultural so ciety, was Introduced in the house by Representative Vawter, of Jackson, , The measure aims to regulate the fruit and orchard industry of the state, prescribes uniform Inspection systems and requires owners to spray their trees and otherwise protect them from insects and various other forms of pests. The measure proposes to abolish the present board of horticulture and place a commissioner to be appointed by the governsr in charge. His sal ary is fixed at $3000 a year. It also provides for the appointment of fruit tree inspectors in those coun ties of the state that care to appoint them at their own expense. Such in spectors, however, are to be subject to the regulations of the proposed law and report to the state commissioner. Imported Eggs Got Attention in House Three bills striking at imported eggs were introduced in the house by Representative Allen, of Marion coun ty. The first provides that all eggs imported and sold In the state shall be .marked "imported" the second that all food products in packages in which eggs are an ingredient shall be mark ed "imported eggs used," the third provides that drink dispensers who use imported eggs in any drink they sell must have a sign posted in their establishment advising the public of this fact. Woman Legislator Introduces Bill. Miss Marian B. Towne's first bill to be presented to the house was in troduced Friday. The only woman in the legislature has a measure to pun ish conspiracy, the present laws, she says, having nothing to cover the point. She would punish by a fine of from $100 to $10,000 each person who accomplishes any part of the conspir acy or would imprison him from 30 days to one year In jail or in the peni tentiary from one to five years. Tax Bills Are Introduced. Senator Smith of Coos and Curry Introduced a bill for a new tax law. It changes the date for which assess ments should be made from March 1 to January 1, and provides that the first payment shall become due on No vember 1, of the year in which the as- What the writer of the above really wants, whether he knows it or not, is to take away from the people as fast and as far as he thinks it can be done, the power to make their own laws. He lives in constant terror that the people of Oregon may not reject the kind of laws he thinks ought to' be rejected. He is one of the fellows who believe that a few of the people know more than all the people though he is willing the people should vote on proposed laws is they will always vote as he thinks best. Of course we know that lots o: the initiated bills are half baked propositions that should never be enacted into law but why not trust the people? They are becoming better educated in the business of lawmaking every year, and their de cisions so far have certainly averaged better than those of the legislatures' used to along the same lines, before the people took the reins into their own hands. Coquille Sentinel. As the East Sees Us j "He leaves for the frontier, the thick of the fight where evil is firmly entrenched," said the. bishop of Ohio in a sermon at the consecration of Dean Sumner of Chicago as bishop of Oregon. The gentleman evidently believes Oregon is a very tough state, devot ed chiefly to Indian fighting, cattle stealing and the game of poker. He does not know there are fewer illiterates in Oregon than in any other state of the union. He does not know Oregon was the first state to enact a minimum wage law for women, that we pay widows' pen sions, invented the initiative and ref erendum, blazed the direct primary trail and that the people in November voted against the saloons by some 3'0,000 majority. Before he delivers any further sermons about the "frontier" and the "thick of the fight" the bishop of Ohio should buckle on a six shoot- A Challenge to Mr. Jones Editor Courier: T- T fnTnA t-n miia TYUT OHIVDKR ecause x xancu w 51V nj in making a challenge to Mr. J.

In his acceptance of my challenge, Mr. Jones says "we might agree on something to disagree about." I wish to say the disagreement is already agreed upon in our printed letters ir the Courier; i. e.

GLEN ECHO Hail to the beautiful weather, frosty nights and sunny days, birds singing and pussy willows coming out a3 harbingers of spring, which we are so anxiously waiting for with its norlands nf flowers and coat of preen. Mr. Tabor has gone to Cannon Beach to improve his property there bv nutting up a couple of bungalows preparatory to the hotel business next summer. They have a beautiful summer resort and they are the right kind of people to show a person a erood time. Miss Margaret Hoyt of Hillsboro, is visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Tabor. Mrs. Nickel of Portland, spent Sunday at the parental home, that of Mr. Hankins. Mrs. Edna Miller has been on the sick list for a few days, but is better at this writing. Mr. Field's mother has been very ill but is slowly recovering. We are closely watching the doings in the senate and are quite encourag ed at the way they are supporting the prohibition bill, yet there are cer tain amendments we want to see made before the "One Hundred" measure passes. When we voted for prohibition we meant it as we voted, ; We are much pleased with the governor's message, especially the stand he takes on the liquor traffic. I feel that our governor is all right, j Gladstone W. C. T. U. will meet at : the home of Mrs. Case Friday, the 22nd. Everybody come as there is j special business.

These geasment is made and the second pay- Included measures to amend tne tax laws, consolidate departments of the state government for economy, to make effective the prohibition amend ment and revision of the game laws. The economy spirit manifested it self in the senate when that body voted to eliminate appropriations for the state accountancy board and the state immigration commission and by authorizing the suspension of the de cennial census, effecting an approxi mate saving of $170,000. At the close of the first week the house had 102 bills before it and the senate 49. All passed second reading. Dry Measures Pending In House. While there is no universal agree ment on the prohibition question, it is certain that a measure will be passed strictly in accordance with the pro visions of the constitutional amend ment adopted by the people at the No vember election. Two prohibition bills now are pending in the house. The Committee of One Hundred's bill was the first measure introduced in that body. It has been referred to the committee on alcoholic liquor. D. C. Lewis, of St. Johns, is the author of another measure now in the hands of the same committee. Yet another measure may be introduced this week. Ora R. Porter, representative from Douglas county, is the author. Representative Lewis declared that he introduced a bill on the subject be cause he was dissatisfied with the committee's bill. His measure is rad ical in the extreme. The legislators are determined to enact an effective prohibition law. If the Committee of One Hundred's bill is amended it will be to make It more drastic. Estimates for Institutions May Stand That the estimates made by the state board of control for appropria tions for the various state institutions for 1915 and 1916 will not be material ly changed, if changed at all, is the belief after the first week's session or the leeislature. Estimates were made first by the superintendents and con .Momhia reductions made by the board in several instances. The committee on ways and means of the senate is probing thoroughly the management of the institutions and has visited the blind school, the mute school and the state Insane asy lum. After spending a day at the lat ter institution and the cottage farm, an adjunct, committee members an nounced that they were well pleased with the management of all instltu tions visited and were especially well pleased with the management of the insane asylum. 8trlot Regulations to Protect Farmers I Rigid regulations for commission j merchants are prescribed in a bill in-; troduced in the house by Represents tive Blanchard, of Josephine county. The bill amends the present law re lating to commission merchants, and provides for the transfer of Jurisdic tion over them from the state rallroal commission to the secretary of state.

No penalties are pro vided. Senator Barrett, of Umatilla, also introduced a tax bill in the upper house, and members of the Multnomah oounty delegation have another meas ure in course of preparation. It prob ably will be" introduced in the lower house within a few days. These meas ures are similar in some particulars, but differ in other essential provis ions. Both provide for semi-annual payments. The Multnomah county bill allows a discount for all payments in excess of 50 per cent made at the first period, while the Barrett bill does not, The Multnomah county bill attaches a penalty of 12 per cent per annum against delinquent payments, while the Barrett penalty is fixed at the rate of only 8 per cent. The payments dates also differ. Legislative Nuggets.

THE COUNTY FI By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union The farmer gets more out of the fair than anyone eUe. The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer It is education. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and linger a moment at a few of the points of- greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world's greatest thinkers. You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical sci ence of all ages. They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world's progress. The Inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the path way of civilization for future genera tions. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death tmi they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, witnoui money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught ub leBsons in economy and effi ciency, bow to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length ened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their in ventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency. Like all useful men, they do not seek publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many plows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvelous achieve ments. WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Tells How She Was Saved by Taking Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. Louisville, Ky. " I think if more suf fering women would take Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegeta ble Compound they would enjoy better health. I suffered from a female trou ble, and the doctors decided I had a tumorous growth and would have to be operated upon, but I refused as I do not believe in opera tions. I had fainting spells, bloated, and could hardly stand the pain in my left side. My husband insisted that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did, for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take Jong walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my good health. "-Mrs. J. M. Resch, 1900 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky.l Since we guarantee that all testimo nials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.

FARMER RADFORD ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE The home is the greatest contribu tion of women to the world, and the hearthstone is her throne. Our so cial structure is built around her, and social righteousness is in her charge, Her beautiful life lights the skies of hope and her refinement is the charm of twentieth century civilization. Her graces and her power are the cumu lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood is Jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers. She has been a great factor in the glory of our country, and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri can chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens of defending and maintaining government, but should preserve ber unsullied from the allied Influences of politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower ber stand ards. The motherhood of the farm Is our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guid to a higher life, but directing the af fairs of government is not within wo man's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits.
