But if a person - comes to Salem expecting to transact business with the statTboard of health, the fish and game control, or some two score other bureaus, boards and comiions he wiU be jold that they are located in Portland. That city has be : iome a sort of junior capital of the state. The practfce has grown by degrees, for one cause or.anpUir. rtUttf of government is not located here in the f ull j degree that lt Thlre is no particular jusification for maintaining' any boards or bureaus in Portland merely because it. is a large city., Specific functions like grain inspection,! haye fcv be carried on where the grain is, which is at the, St.ohn ter minals; but most of the other offices could be-kept at Sa lem at much less cost to the taxpayers. - . 1 t Take the practice of the highway commission in meeting in Portland. This evidently grew out of the fact that some bi business man of Portland has for years served on the commission and out of deference to him Mid to save him time, the meetings would be held there. The result is that whenever there is a meeting of the commission the work of the highway office here ; is disrupted for one, , two. or three days. The executive members of the staff pile into cars and spend one or two days in Portland at state ex pense. With most of them the novelty of traveling about has worn off -and they probably would prefer to remain right at home. But most of them go to Portland because there is a chance that they might be called on for informa tion. Sen. Spaulding counted 14 of the department there at one session. If the sessions were held here the men would be on call, continuing with their regular duties mean time. All the data would be instantly available. ' ; Moreover persons having business with the commission often come from up the valley, from the coast or southern Oregon, and would save time and money by stopping in Sa lem. Contractors go where the bids are to be opened, no matter where that is. The board of control doesn't move 'down to Portland to open bids on some state building. I" The state board of education should meet here, the -state board of health ought to, keep its office here, and the game commission, and on down the line. Salem is just wak ling up. It ought to carry on" a vigorous and incessantjcam paign to restore these divisions of government to the seat of government. Portland has been nibbling for years at the state capital.. Salem will have to work to regain what prop erly belongs in this city. i ; j ; The Spokane Case j ;fTlHERE is in progress at Spokane before Federal Judge J. JL Stanley Webster, a tax case of grave interest to i the state of Washington, and possibly of interest to many other states. The leading railroads of the state have been en gaged in a battle for some year to set aside assessments for the years 1925, 1926 and 1927. They assert they were overvalued as compared with other real property in j the state. As numerous counties in Washington, have extensive railroad mileage on which they collect heavy taxes, there is much local concern over the outcome of the case, whether ' the railroads will get tax rebates or not. 1 1 j 1 The case was tried for two years before a ' special ref eree Ralph B. Kaufman of ETlensburg, who found for the , txailroads, and formulated a new rule of determining their " value, capitalizing their net earnings on a seven per cent basis. The railroads and the counties are now battling over whether the judge will accept the findings of , the referee or not. ' - . - 1 ; .'. -'. There will doubtless be considerable criticism of this rule of determining values, for in years like 1930 where the net earnings were nearly wiped out, the roads would pay very little tax, whereas the functions of government have to go on just the same: schools, city, county and state gov eminent. - i The significant thing in the case for all states is that they, cannot continue to make the railroads bear the brunt f heavy taxes and at the same time starve them. In re cent years taxes have taken from the roads a sum approxi mately equal to the amount paid out in dividends. Taxes have mounted far more rapidly than earnings or invest ments. The worm turns after come to realize that if the they must first earn them. .Other states should not in tne wasnington case, out take care that in, taxing rail roads they do not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Health Dept. The average height of a baby at birth Is 20 inches and at ma turity the individual Is three and onOrnau iimea his length at birth. During the first year a -baby gains about ten Inch es la length and in the sec ond year from six to eight in ches. Few peo ple realise it but by the time a child is two years of age he has attained more than halt the height he will have as an Vt. C a Ztaaer Th height of individual chil dren varies a great deal depend ing on sex and family character istics. The height Is not so apt to be influenced by infections or diseases as does the weight. When there is a great variation from, the average, say ten percent above or below, the child's condi-f tion would bear Investigation. The presence of some disease pro cess would manifest Itself by un dergrowth while some abnormal- ity in certain Internal secretions from glands can either stnnt the growth or cause an abnormal In crease. Babies corn without suffi cient thyroid (goitre) gland would be stunted in growth and are called cretins. Distarbance of the glands located in the brain cause an acceleration in growth beyond th normal. Beginning of the functioning of the sex glands also stimulates growth, but this occurs during pubertyr weight at birth is usually about seven pounds, averaging a little more in boys than in girls. At 11 years a child weighs- ap proximately ; ten times his birth weight and as an adult about 20 times the birth weight. Boys us ually weigh more- than girls until about the age of 12. again spurt ing ahead at 14 years. The rea son for this lies in the fact that the age of puberty in the girl an tedates that of the boy by a year to a year and a half. - As in the case of height, small variations - from the normal or average need be the cause for any concern, however, any child ten percent below or 20 percent above the average weight for age and height bears investigation. The great increase in weight of children is mainly on account of the increase in size of the arms, legs and trunk and this obvious ly is due (o increase in size of the bones and muscles.- Muscles that have made up one-quarter of the weight of a baby gradually in crease until they make up two- fifths of the entire weight.

Governor Nash became inoculated with poison oak or ivy on that trip la Califor nia, and never recovered from the complications: died the following year. But he had asked Geer to come to Ohio! and participate in the campaign;, in a personal let ter; and the Oregon governor 4 went. Following, la part of what Mr. Geer wrote about that trip in his book: ' m S "Owing to the subsequent death of the president (McKlnley), the Ohio campaign was limited to two weeks. My first date was at the little city of Waverly, ... and the time was equally divided be tween Senator Mark Hanna and- myself.

He said he had met Davenport several times and really liked 'the fellow,' but added that he didn't approve of his car toon treatment of himself. I told him I had never yet found a man who could really enjoy a good cartoon of himself, though every body else might regard lt as a work of art. W "He said that he never cared 'a peg' for Davenport's cartoons, 1 but that his wife hated that artist 'worse than snakes. He remarked that he had instructed his secre tary to save all the' cartoons of himself that had appeared In the papers, but that they were to he kept from his wife, if possible. Tm : -v . "The last week of the campaign I traveled in company with Gov ernor Nash, except while at Marys rllle', where my time was divided with "Warren Q.

"So far as X could see- there was no difference between cam paigning In Ohio and Oregon or Washington or Idaho. ' My pre vious experience served to illus trate very forcibly the fact that ours is a great country, and, what is better, that we are essentially one ; great people. An American citizen- of Ohio has all the char acteristics of the American cit isen of Oregon, Maine or Flor ida. This fact is more keenly realized when, in campaigning in states widely separated geograph ically, one discovers the sameness of the Issues involved." (Th balance of Mr. Geer's lit tle story of his participation in that .1902 campaign is worth reprinting, and it will appear In this - column later, probably to morrow.) S Homer Davenport was not the only great cartoonist of the Geer family. (His mother was a daugh ter of Ralph C. Geer, Waldo, hills pioneer.) A cousin of Homer Dav enport is Frank S. Bowers, who has retired from being a cartoon ist and iis a farmer, his place be ing next east of the old Ralph Geer home. ' Bowers was on the Hearst pa pers during the time of the Span ish-American war, and did a great deal of good work. He was later on. the Indianapolis News, where he was in the thick of some of the hottest fights ever pulled off there, in mayoralty campaigns and others. V a Mr. Bowers might be drawing down his 815,000 a year on one of the great newspapers, or news paper chains. But he found the game was not worth the candle. He was sacrificing his health; bad he not left the hectic career he would have sacrificed his life. . - - ' Mr, Bowers will tell you that, just before he gave up that work, he was accustomed to drive him self in labor over his drawing board until he would discover his hand so Unsteady that he could not go on. . ? . . . 1 . .
