DEFEATED BV VOTERS
8ALKM, Or., Noy. 13. (Special to
the HtiUtrprlse).-The people of tbe
tate mut have boon enjoying a high
ealubre grouch against some of their
county and itato officials when they
cast tkntr ballota at the recent genar
al election, Nut content with saddling
omo onerous responsibilities outo the
sheriffs of tho various counties
through th Iniquitous Jackson bllla,
they hava entailed some responsibili
ties of the most serious onlor upon the
atnto officials who must hava charge
of administering to the euro of tha
wards of tha atato during the next
two years..
Defeat of the bill providing for a
1940,000 excess tux ovtir the amount
allowed under the t per cent limita
tion amendment la of a much more
eurtoua nature when Ha complete im
port la undnratood, than appnars to
the average voter on the outalde, Thia
(act In Itself no doubt larguly titillat
ed against the measure and waa In a
groat degree responsible for Ita do
friil Had the people been ae fully
advised of the atate'a flnauclul condi
tion aa the men who are to administer
the fltiancea, lhre la little question
but the bill would bave passwl by a
substantial majority..
Anothnr prominent factor In Ka de
feat wua the military police.. Com
mnnta beard on every hand leave lit
tle doubt of thl fact The military po
lice, whether it la a vuluuble organl
xutlon or whether It la not, la by no
in niiii Popular orgunlr.atlon, The
atatua of tin popularity wua very doubt
ful at drat blush when it waa organis
ed for the purpose of guarding war In
duHtrh-a, weruhouaoa, food and other
war essentials. Although, if it bad
boon limited atrlctly to that capacity , j))licu whPre a nU.M , Mug t,xpcnd
the mannor In which the average Hate
tnatltutlon In conducted knowi that
greater economies are practiced than
In the average home, and that a dollar
goes much further there than In tha
average home.. NO one with a apark of
humanity In bli makeup but will agree
that a ward of the state, who la forc
ibly placed In a dontentlon fnatllutlon
and required to remain there becauae
of inino mental defect over which he
hna no control, should be given the
bent of care and treatment. There ia
no question thut hla food ahould be of
the boat, bit clothing warm and com
fortable, his ileoplng quqrtora aanl
tury and heulthful and that generally
he ahould be treated aa a child of mis
fortune thrown upon the merclea of
bli more fortunate brethren..
The Ineano hoapltale and theichool
for the feeble minded are now filled
to overflowing with long waiting Hate.
Defeat of the tux measure mount that
aocloly must r'iie for theso people
who ahould be under the watch of the
Htnte.. They cannot be admitted to the
Institutions becauae It la doubtful It
there will lie enough monoy to prop
erly cure for thoao there already. The
only manner In which they can be car
ed for will bo through the natural de
crease In Institutional population
through death or dlacharge which will
allow o thorn to take their placea..
It ia alao true that the general do
pnrtmenta af atate government will
bo cramped and will bo leas able to
prove their efficiency. Thla dona not
present aa black a picture, however,
an the possibilities aurroundlng the
helpless men and women who are com
pelled to yield to incarceration in the
inatltutlona ...
He it aald that Governor Withy
combo la doing all ho can to meet the
conditions. Ho hue given Immediate
orders for cutting down tho military
police to 25 men, hua cut down the
clerical force In the adjutant gener
al' office In Portland and hua served
notice that he will trim nulla In every
New Nations Into Which Austria Jlungaiy Will Be Split Up, .What
Wijl Remain of Austria, and Two Prominent Figures in Changes
It probably would have mot with but
few advene murmurs.. Hut It hua been
UHd to chuae convlcta, to hunt down
bootleggers, and to do a number of
other ajmllur Joba which the public
ut large believes ahould be handled
exclusively by the regularly conatitut
ed civil authorities..
. Now thla very earns public gained
tha Idea that the 1910,000 provided
for on the ballot waa to bo diverted to
upholding the hand ot the military po
lice and to paying Ha expenses. It la
true that aomo of tbla money would
have had to pay for the deflclonclea
created In favor of the military pollco.
lint the great share of It waa to go to
wn rd raring for etute wards and atate
needs which are really essential while
the military police could have been
Nhnved Into tho discard, aa it no doubt
will be by tho next Legislature..
Tho deflclonclea must be cared for
at any rate, aa they have been created
and the money lurgely expended. De
feat of the measure means that the
restricted sum allowed under the
per emit amendment will be only thut
much more restricted because of the
deficiencies In question
Ileal and grave difficulties will con
front the Incoming administration and
the next Legislature In meeting the
situation that has been rreated through
a combination of the 6 percent amend
r meet and the defeat of the excess tax
bill. Any householder knows that it
costs 100 pef cent or over to live now
In excess of what It did to live two
years ago. The householder shouldn't
feel for a minute that the mounting
enste have bit him alone. They are
felt equally by the atate and atate in
atltutlona, which were sadly cramped
when the full amount allowed waa
voted two years ago to be in ft sorry
plight when the deflclonclea which
are double the additional sum which
will be allowed by the normal 6 per
cent Incronso for the two years, while
the cost of maintaining current ex
pense will be 40 per cent higher, at a
conservative estimate. The situation
confronting officials la ohvloua. It
will be no child's play to make ends
meet and In doing it it Is certain tbut
hundreds of atate wards will have a
little less food, a little loss fuel to
keep them warm, fewer and poorer
clothea to shield their nakedness and
a generally harder time of It. The
last Legislature made none too good
a provision for those wards and de
flclonclea were the order of the day.
It was not because of extravagance
In management thut these deficiencies
were asked for because anyone who
tukea the time and trouble to examine
ed needlessly. What cun be aavod
this way will help some, but It will be
fur from meeting the conditions creat
ed by the defeat of the tax measure
at tho recent election..

The epidemic of influenza has abat

Health Officer M. C. Strickland will
be made today stating that the ban on
the city will be raised by Sunday in
time ifor tha churches to have their
regular nie tings, and for public gather
ings to be allowed and the shows to

parts of the state and the disease is
well under control and very little dan
ger will result by the lifting of the
ban here. The local physicians have
worked hard to check the spread of
the epidemic and the casualty list has
been small here compared to some
other cities not as large as Oregon

BOY IS INJURED IN
E
DOROTHY PETERSON hllLM r-tluKJ-yrt
The great adventure in the lives of on their mother's table and decided
Helen and Dorothy Peterson, eight
and thirteen years old, has ended. It
was an inquisitive Chicago policeman
who discovered that two childreen in
boys' clothes were really the daugh
ters of a Tulsa, Okla., family. Helen
and Dorothy found a check for $155
that Tulsa was not wide-awake
enough for them. She succeeded in
having it casl)ed and went to St.
Louis. There they made up their
minds to become boys, had their hair
bobbed and bought boys' suits. Then
the Chicago policeman spoiled it all.
Paul Praeger, a well known young
man of Parkplace, who took part In
the parade in this city on Thursday
morning when news of the surrender
of Germany had arrived, showed his
'patriotic spirit in a most unusual man
ner. He secured a large basa drum,
but . the drum stick was missing.
Praeger did not stop to hunt a piece
of wood or something else to beat the
dram with, but took his hand. Before
the parade was over the drum was
covered with blood from the hand ot
Praeger, and handmarks in blood on
the drum was an evidence of the true
patriotic spirit of the Yankee boy of
Parkplace. Even after the parade was
over he continued to beat the drum
with his torn and bleeding hand. He
won hundreds of friends by his unique
manner in beating his drum, and was
cheered from one end of the street
to the other. ' ' r- '
John Floria alleges in his suit
against Albert Dembat that the defend
ant sold him some hogs that he knew
were inflicted with the Hog Cholera

Hillsdale and at the time ot the trans
action he had 75 hogs valued at $2,000
and paid Dembat $336 for his hogs
and after he had put the diseased ones
In tha pen with his own seven of them
died and then his 75 hogs contracted
the disease 'and also died.
He is suing for the sum of $2335,
the value of the hogs and also costs
of the case. ,
