E. Bean, member of the State Legisla
ture from Lane County, and author of
the bill to tail the Oregon and Cali
fornia grant lands, to be voted on at
the special election. June 4, declared
today that the desperation of the
"apostles of I'inchotiam" la revealed
In court proceedings. instituted at
Salem in an effort to prevent the
measure from groins' on the ballot for
technical reasons.
"As it appears in the press report
the ground of attack is that the amend
ment to the bill referring it to the
people, was not legally adopted, having
received but 29 votes on the motion to
concur in the amendment," Mr. Bean
stated.
"I do not remember the total num
ber of votes cast, but 29 was consider
able more than a majority of the mem
bers present and voting.
Attacks Purely Technical,
"This action to prevent the people
of this state from voting on the ques
tion as to whether these lands shall
be taxed as are other lands in this
state, is no surprise to me. It is purely
technical and strictly in line with the
methods adopted by the opposition
from the very beginning.
"Every possible tactic was used to
defeat the bill In the Legislature, Fall
ing In this, an unfair ballot title con
taining a negative argument was
certified to he secretary of state to
be printed in the official ballot. This
had to be corrected by an appeal to.
the court which very promptly as
signed a proper ballot title; the edi
torial page of the Portland Journal has
been almost exclusively devoted to un
fair and misleading articles attempting
to prejudice the minds of voters
against the bilL
Annual Taxes S500.000.
"All along the line, opponents of
the bill have met with failure and in
their desperation, knowing that the
people of Oregon will never volun
tarily surrender the right of taxation
of these lands and realizing that if
the matter is presented to the Supreme
Court of the United States squarely
on the issue, that it will sustain Ore
gon's right, resort is now had to
technical injunction proceedings to
keep the matter from the people and
defeat them from receiving the $500,
000 in annual taxes that these lands
should be required to contribute.
"The issue is an Important one to
the future development and growth of
this state and la Bquarely between the
people of this state and those few
apostles of Finchotlsm. in Oregon, who
would assume the guardianship of Fed
eral bureaucracy in their endeavors to
have these lands taken from the tax
rolls and embraced within Federal
forest reserve."

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair
Girls if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for It will
starve your hair and ruin It If you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or waeh It out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff la to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
thrtl. get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply It at night when re
tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
By morning most. If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of It.
You will find. too. that all Itching
and digging of the ecalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. Tou can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never falls. Adv.
