Os tensibly, however, the measure is in tended to raise funds for the state, as the receipts from the proposed tax are to go into the state treasury. Representative Brown painted dreary picture of the misfortune of the small merchant who is made to com pete with the concern that gives' away trading stamps as an inducement to attract custom. He declared that the trading stamp is an unnatural trade condition, that it is an economic waste 1915 Styles Young men's clothes with dash and style -tailored in the mode of the hour. $15 to $30 Second Floor.

Under the present law the quarter mill state road tax nets about $240, 000 for the state highway fund. The bill passed by the House today would enable the Highway Commission to spend 48,000 of this money in Jackson County. If the quarter-mill tax is raised to a half-mill, as the good roads enthusiasts propose, approximately $96,000 would be available for the work in Jackson County. Representative Vawter, of Medford, who led the fight for the Jackson County bill, pointed out that that county already has spent $187,000 on the Jackson County link of the Pacific Highway; that Jackson County is the STATE CAPITOL.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 16 (Special.) Chiropractors are to be regulated according to the action of the House this morning, but osteo paths are not to be. The House passed Representative Risley's bill providing for appointment of a non-salaried board of chiropractic examiners, but rejected Representative Anderson's bill to raise the standard of osteopaths. Opponents of the osteopathic meas ure protested that it was aimed to pre vent graduates of an osteopathic col lege in Los Angeles from practicing in Oregon. In fact, the measure was so worded that it would not have per mitted a graduate of a school that teaches drugs and medicine or materia medica to be classed as an osteopath. Proponents of the bill advanced the theory that a person cannot be a good osteopath and a good allopath at the same time. They objected to mixing the professions. The bill also would have raised the standard of osteopathic requirements from a three-year college course to a four-year course. MISS TOWXE RESENTS METHOD "What soup shall I have?"
