THE BETTER WAY
At its annual meeting the
Orgeon State Grange passed
by the close vote of 58 to 56
the resolution urging the re
peal of the millage tax for
the support of the Univer
sity, Agricultural College
and the Normal school.
The report of this action
of this agricultural repre
sentation of the state came
as a surpsise to the majority
of those who believe in the
removal of political influ
ence from within and with
out the legislature in deter
mining the support of these
institutions.
This action if endorsed at
the polls in November, will
place these institutions at
the mercy of all the log-rolling,
political football tactics
for which the legislature
has been famous in the past.
That there should be re
trenchment in the conduct
of these institutions is free
ly admitted, but a good be
ginning could be and should
be made in this direction by
reducing or cutting off en
tirely excessive appropria
tions over the sum total of
the millage tax. With this
more than seven hundred
thousand dollars, the amount
thus appropriated by the
last lamented legislature,
cut investigation into the re
duction of the millage itself
would be in order.
But paradoxical it' seems
the action of the convention
in refusing to reduce the
special appropriations by a
limited amount and then
take away all support ex
cept what might be obtained
through appeal to the legis
lature for these institutions.
Current expression is ad
verse to this action though
no doubt taken with the best
intent to reduce taxes and
with no desire to injure or
jeopardize the institutions
of basic importance to the
progress- and prosperity of
the state.
A RETROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT
The action of some con
gressmen to make the rail-H
roads amenable to state con
trol in interstate commerce
and thus to tie the hands of
the Interstate Commerce
Commission is as short
sighted and vicious as it is
mysterious in its inseption.
To subjects the roads to
methods of control, rates
and rules governing opera
tion, to the different gov
ernmental units through
which, freight and passeng
er service is carried on
would result in the applica
tion of whims, prejudices
and discriminations to one
of the great national utili
ties. The result would in
evitably be confusion; strife
and failure in the service to
the public the first and
greatest sufferer.
If the Commission is in
competent or unfair, abolish
it. We should not go back
ward, to the same old condi
tions for which the commis
sion was created to replace
by a system .of uniformity
and harmony.
STATE VS. PRIVATE
PROTECTION
ment of the state govern
ment may cease to function.
Why this sudden slump?
One answer is that private
insurance organizations are
willing to assume the risks
now carried by the Indust
iral Accident Department of
the state at a lower rate and
with financial safety to all
concerned.
Another reason : for the
slump is that the rates have
been so high as to discour
age the employer and he
now as a consequence is
more and more carrying the
risk himself. The employee
does not generally care
where the protection comes
from so long as it is safe.
And when it is carried by
the employer or the private
concern the workman need
contribute nothing. It is
natural then and treated as
good business under these
conditions to reject the state
provisions.
But why cannot the state
insure its citizens at as low
rate of cost as private capi
tal? At one time a few
months ago the Industrial
accident department had a
surplus of over $5,000,00 on
hand. Why require the pay
ment of rates yielding this
vast surplus? Reduction of
costs, and simplifying - of
methods means less help to
operate the law, and this
means less expense to every
one - accepting the compen
sation act.
Economy and service at
the lowest' not the highest
possible cost is the first need
to restore confidence in this
department of the state
government.

The Nursery
By Ellen Creelman
Every home, if possible, should con
tain one room for the child's especial
use. Not that he must always be con
fined to the nursery or denied the
privileges of the entire home, but
that he may have the privacy of a
room in which to ocmmence his edu
cation through play uninterrupted by
mar.y of the activities of the Lome.
The child should be required to
spend a part of the time ii the nursery
TJjjs he will gla.y do without coer
cion, provided he has a pleasant room,
suitable toys and protection from in
tiusion as he attempcs to develop his
mind through play.
There should on a sunny exposure
good ventilation and low windows pro
tected against accident. The child en
joys pictures of the outside world as
seoa from the windows. The blue sky,
the wind-blown clouds, rain drops,
w..nd storms, sunbeams, flowers, trees
and birds afford him, a continuous
sotuce of pleasure. Ia'fact such pictures-
acted upon by his keen imag
ination frequently reccrd more vital
and lasting impressions UDon the
child's mind than those hung upon the
walls.
The walls and woodwork of the nur
sery should be iiuiahed in soft har
moiiious colors white the utmost
cleanliness and neatness are neces
sary. .
The nursery walls may be relieved
by pictures of Interest to the child.
There is a wide selection of siutable ; habits.
pictures from which to choose. But
there should always" be a picture of
"Mother and Child," pictures of the
hildsc' near-at-hand enviroment, hu
man life, plant life, animal life, natural
phenomena, also pictures illustrating
nursery rhymes. These should not
be hung indiscriminately upon the
walls or they may destroy the beauty
of the room. Many pictures may be
kept in portfolios or presented through,
picture books.
There should be growing plants in
the window boxes where bulbs and
seeds are frequently planted which the
child may care for. His intere3; in
them is natural and ought to be cher
ished. " The furniture should be simple, with
the chairs and tables of suitable
aeight placed correctly a regards the
light. Cushions are useful upon the
floor. -
There should be a cabinet with low
shelves and individual places for all
toys and play-materials. Every nurs
ery should contain a sand table.
The child should play as frequently
as possible in the open air, and be kept
away from the distractions of tiie
street.
The nursery should be an attractive
room, for the child learns more from
incidental impressions than from di
rect teaching. In fact the child's
whole environment should aid the na
tural development of his mind, pro
tecting him against undesirable Im
pressions, guiding hini happily to
wards the goal of education good

Dr. Monas S. Gregory director of the psychopathic
and alcoholic service at Bellevue Hospital, New York
City,, gives out the following interview on the effects of
wood alcohol.
"I have seen men die of wood alcohol poisoning. It
is a frightful death. "
"Even when it is diluted as an ingredient mistaken
for grain alcohol in liquids sold as whisky, woocl alco
hol is a very terrible poison. . - -
"A drink of wood alcohol brings internal hemorr
hages, - blindness, convulsions, delirium and usually
death.
"Hemorrhages occur in the brain and in other parts
oi the body. Wood alcohol acts on the blood vessels, es
peiaclly the small ones. The capillaries burst.
"That is what causes blindness. The tiny arteries of
the retina are ruptured, destroying the sight. -
"Very few recover from wood alcohol poisoning. It
does not depend so much on the amount taken, for one
person may be able to stand more than another, as it does
on' whether the poison acts on blood vessels in fatal spots.
"Delirium tremens is an entirely different thing a
mild thing compared to the convulsions and delirium of
wood alcohol poisoning. The victim is too sick to have
hallucinations. .
"A man blinded by wood alcohol poisoning does not
usually recover his sight even if he, a fortunate exception,
does not die. - Sometimes the brain is affected permanent
ly . . ; . -
And this information in its terrible aspects should
be a warning to those who take chances on the scores of
different brands of moonshine booze which contain this
poisonous stuff . r -
Under the constitution of the United States, the con
stitution and laws of Oregon and in -keeping with good
common sense the only slogan is "Leave It Alone."

And still the fight goes on.
Strikers strike strike-breakers,
the law is violated and
business injured in the con
test now waged between em
ployers and employees in the
longshoremen strike.

recommended but the fight
goes on increasing in intens
ity as hatred accumulates.
Among the brutal assaults
of recent date was one in
which two strikers pulled a
strikebreaker off a street
car -in the city of Portland
and proceeded to beat him
up while the motorman sped
away leaving his passanger

ants. Has the patron no

GLIMPSES OF
THE CARNIVAL
One of the best features
of the recent Buyers Carni
val was the Genuine special
features of the sales. An
other feature attracting at
tention was the value of ad
vertising. During the two
special days merchandise es
timated at $75,000 was pur
chased. And a very valu
able lesson learned was the
value of cooperation among
the merchants themselves.
The great big majority of

together in the interest of
such attractive quality of
merchandising that the same
effort might be repeated
with satisfactory results for
both merchant and patron.
