weeks."

Is far more vital to the labor

friendly to business, and labor will
benefit a thousand times more than
by threatening wealth with unequal
taxation."
The People's Power league submits
negative argument advising the peo
ple to vote against thia proposed
amendment.
"This amendment repudiates the
American principle of lawmaking and
government by a majority," states
the.,negative argument. "It gives to
one more than one third of those who
vote power for all time to reject and
veto an important change in the pres
ent tax and assessment laws of Ore
son. Even the simplest income tax
law could Rot be made by less than
a two thirds majority."

Here Is Good News
For Stomach Victims
Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
.vegetable oils, which exert a cleans
ing, soothing and purifying action
upon the lower bowels, removing the
obstructions of poisonous fecal matter
and gases and preventing their ab
sorption by the blood. This done, the
food is allowed free passage from
the stomach, fermentation ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty yeors a
leading Chicago druggist, cured him
self and many of his friends of stom
ach, liver and intestinal troubles of
years' standing by this treatment, and
so successful was the remedy he da
vised, that it has since been placed In
the hands of druggists all over the
country, who have sold thousands of
bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef
fect of the medicine is sufficient to
convince anyone of its remarkable
effectiveness, and within 24 hours
the sufferer fee's like a new 4erson.

now sold here by all druggists. (Adv.)
