Given other names, consumption taxes seem not to smell so foul! The state has been financing its highway building with a gas tax, which is merely a sales tax on gasoline. The rate is now about 25 and has been as high as 100 on the com modity. Yet no one objects to the gas tax, save a few like The Statesman, who believe it is too high. This tax falls on the man with a flivver, the man with a broken down wood truck who is trying to earn a living hauling wood, as well as ' on the man with a Pierce Arrow or a Marmon. Ray Gill's organization sponsored the tax on butter sub- stitutes up to 10c a pound, which was as much or more than ' the article itself sold for. This, was not only a sales tax; it was purposely a tax to put the butter substitute out of bus iness, although this is consumed by the poorest classes of the population. Here indeed was a tax on the poor man's bite of food. The federal government has imposed many sales taxes, although under the name of the excise tax. The list is really startling: tax on playing cards 10c per pack; on liquors; on Cigars. S2 to $5 rer thousand: on cip-arettps $3 nnrf $7 20 ner thousand; on oleomargaxin, colored 10c per pound, un color ed c per pound; on filled cheese; mixed flour; on lubricat ing oils 4c a gallon ; on matches, 2c per thousand ; on tires, toilet goods, furs, jewelry, automobiles, auto parts, phono graph records, sporting goods, cameras, mechanical refrig erators, candy chewing gum, soft drinks, telephone and tele graph messages, checks, theatre tickets, 10. Now it is adding a whole crop of processing taxes on wheat, cotton, tbbacco, hogs. The latter are taxes on the! necessities tlif, falling heavily on the poorest classes; and the burden is far heavier than the 1 of the act of the late legislature. The wheat tax is 30c per bushel, which is about . 50 of the present price to farmers. The cotton tax of 4.2 is about a 50 tax also. Some protests are heard on these i taxes, but not from the grange, which in faet endorses them J With all these consumption taxes, which assuredly hit every individual who buys food and clothing in this country, with the cigarette tax also which hits millions of the people, and the gas tax which is very general in its application, the country is getting sales taxes although under other names. The arguments used against the sales tax enacted by the last legislature would apply with even greater force against the taxes cited above because they are so much heavier in their burden. To be consistent the organizations which are seeking a referendum on the sales tax should continue their campaign against these other consumption taxes. Subsidizinor the Unfif QJTATE TREASURER RUFUS HOLMAN recently urged kl) a stricter law for the sterilization of the feeble minded to prevent their reproduction.

What they found was that during these years these famiKes had gone on pro ducing children, at the expense of the taxpayers, the families averaging five living children. Sometimes all the family was feeble-minded. The Foundation declares: Tblv. fun,d h0"14 not be used t0 wbsidlie the produc tion ot feeble-minded children.

At the one of 1875. the annual i address was by Matthew P. Deady, afterward U. S. Judge. He cited Bome of the leaders of Am erican settlement and government In the Oregon country, like Jason iee and his missionaries, Dr. Mar cus Whitman and his missionary band, Jesse ApnleRate. Peter H. Burnett, Dan Waldo, Joseph Hoi man and others. When he came to the name of Joel Palmer, he said: "Few men, in this or any coun try, have labored harder or more disinterestedly for the public good than General Joel Palmer. A man of ardent temperament, strong friendships, and fuU ot hope for and confidence In his fellow men, he has unreservedly given tho flower of his life for the best interests ot Oregon and of all the early pioneers It may be Justly said ot him: 'He de serves weU of his country'."

United States senator from New York Former Commissioner of Eeolth, Kew York City A RECENT newspaper Item stated that in tha United States the deaths from appendicitis averaga "on every twenty-nine minutes". This ta an alarming an nouncement. There can be no doubt the danger lot this disease cannot be over emphasized. De spite the in creased akin of modern surgery, appendicitis con tinues to take Its toll of children and young per sona. A careful an- alyala and sur vey of cases Dr. Copelar.i abowa that the menace of appendicitis Ilea, not In the operation, but In the delay of the operation. .Too often appendicitis is mistaken for a stomachache or an other minor abdominal complaint The sufferer seeks relief by taking castor oil or some other drastic ca thartic Serious trouble follows. Dreaded "Peritonitis" In other Instances delay tn opera tion can be traced to fear ot the knife. Many dread the operation, nuie realizing that delay to have it ia often dangerous. I am confident that If everyone were familiar with that dreadful complication of ap pendicitis, known as "peritonitis", fewer persons would hesitate to ac cept surgical treatment. Peritonitis occurs after the dis eased appendix ruptures. When that happens the germs of the Infection enter the abdominal cavity which Is lined by a delicate membrane called the "peritoneum". This structure dips down between the different or gans, covering and protecting them. It serves as a wrapper sad secretes a substance which promotes move ment ot the organs without friction. Unfortunately, when germs reach this delicate membrane a severe and possibly fatal mflammation occurs. It is a serious complication of appendi citis. In moat instances, fortunately. L A trict, were the discoverers of gold in California June 24, 1848. Staats delivered one of the prin cipal addresses at the 1877 annu al meeting of the Oregon Pioneer association, during the course ot which he said: "a S "I must not forget to mention my friend General Joel Palmer, who was first chosen to deliver the 'occasional address' at this time, but, owing to impaired health, was compelled to decline the invitation, . . . and you have missed a great intellectual treat by his non appearance before you today. "He was an Immigrant of 1845 . . . . Palmer was captain ot a company, that made its starting point from Independence, Mo., and was composed ot about 40 wagons. He was also one of those who first made the attempt to cut his way through the Cascade mountains to the Willamette val ley." (This reference was to the Barlow road, ot which more later.) .... In the spring of 18 4 S, Palmer was one ot the six who started and traveled across the plains to their homes in the eastern states, and he returned, with his family, again in 1847, since which time he has been - a true resident Oregonlan. "Ton see the General has made three trips across the plains, and what has passed before his vision naturaUy and mentally could It can be prevented by the immediate removal ot the acutely inflamed ap- Mndiz. It la for this rtiuin that alt surgeons stress tha importance and necessity oi immediate operation. Danger of Cathartics As I have often said, a common cause of ruptured appendix and peri tonitis is the unwise use of cathartics for the relief ot abdominal pain. I am sure that fewer deaths would result from sppendlcUs If the dan gers ot stromr cathartics were fa miliar to everyone. If you are stricken with a pain in the abdomen, or a member of your family complains of stomachache, do not resort to home prescribing of a cathartic, but call your doctor. If it is not a case of appendicitis, you will be assured ot safe and speedy relief. If the pain is due to appendicitis you trill nave saved yourself from pos sible complications. I beg of you not to fear the opera tion. I assure you that in tho hands of a competent surgeon It Is a simple procedure and need cause no undue anxiety. No good can possibly come from delay In permitting removal of the diseased appendix. Answers to Health Queries A Reader. Q. Can tuberculosis be contracted by kissing a tubercu lar patient? A.

"But the idea ot giving a des cription ot the immigration ot 1845 Is a little preposterous, when limited to the brief space of one hour. Every individual Immi grant had his own experience and knowledge of events as they have transpired, and the longest day that Oregon ever witnessed would scarcely be sufficient time in which to recount the many cir cumstances and events ot an In teresting character that trans pired during that weary tramp across the plains." . Ralph C. Geer, first nursery man in the upper Willamette val ley, one of the early clerks of Marlon county, grandfather of Homer Davenport, in his time the world's most noted cartoonist, delivered the 'occasional address' at the 1879 annual meeting of the Oregon Pioneer association. Mr. Geer said -in part: a "We left the Missouri river the 6th of June (1847). and when w got to Wolf creek organized by eiecimg Joel Palmer captain, and the usual officers that belong to such organisations. When we or ganized we had 85 wiennn. and in the Nemaha country we over took what was called the Chicago company, headed by Uncle Tom my Cox (who that fall started tne first store in Salem with goods he had brought across the Plains in 13 ox wagons), which increased our company to 99 wagons. . . . Some thoueht onr company too large, but still we maae good travel every day. We traveled that way until we cross ed Big Blue river. "There Wm. Graham's son was so sick we concluded to lay by a day or two. That camo was the finest camp of pioneers I ever 6aW. It Contained 99 watrnna about 400 men, women and child ren .... representing nearly all the professions, trades and occu pations. . . . The men were all well armed and plenty of ammu nition; all determined to go to Oregon and develop its resources. "The child getting no better the second day after we stopped, 60 wagons drove on and left. Capt. Palmer said he would not leave a fellow traveler on the way whose child was unable to travel and would probably die in a few days. Capt. Palmer had brought a box of cultivated fruit trees from Indiana to St. Joseph, and was so heavily laden that he could not bring them, and I had undertaken to take them for him, and did not feel right In leaving him, and after traveling two- days I prevailed upon my father to stop at Little Blue river and await the balance of the train, which they did, and Alva Post and my self went back to meet the train.

C. KECK CHAPTER FD7TY-THREJS The telephone rang constantly, Julian had brought Into the house three efficient secretaries in addi tion to his usual one. A fleet of press agents was constantly at his disposal. Still there was work for many hands to do. Patricia was often at- the telephone. Only she could solve certain of the troubling calls. No, she and Julian could not appear before the BronxvOle Wo men's dub; they appreciated be ing asked. No, she could not take on another newspaper column, thank you Just the same. No, Mr. Haverholt never furnished free copies of. his book, sorry. Nor did Miss Patricia Haverholt wish to j . j i j . recomineaa roan a pisying . canu. she preferred them oblong. - Telegrams were delivered a hun dred times day; they must be opened, tossed in wastebaskets, or replied to promptly. Congratulatory messages, cheering messages, beg ging messages arrived in every mail like voices out of nowhere. Most of them were for Julian but Patricia piled up a growing stack. A cattle rancher in Wyoming wired in an offer of his hand and prom' ised upon acceptance to send the railroad fare, A bridge teacher in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was sure that she could Improve Miss Hsverholt's bridge and would part with her secret system upon payment of a modest five hundred dollars. An as trologer sent Miss Haverholt a complicated chart whkh predicted victory. Patricia a stara were lucky. It appeared that she must always win, that her life would be one grand sweet song. At that the girl smiled rather wryly. The city was divided. New York had entered lustily into the fight Which was the winning system? The Haverholt or the Blair? There were those who swore by Reuben Blair's conventions, the most con servative element always. Julian called these folk "the lackwits, the dullards and the fools." The most violent partisans followed Julian Haverholt. They made fantastic claims for him, they bet on him at odds of ten to one. They hailed him as a genius and Julian heart- fly agreed they were right. Patricia felt, these days, that she was moving through some crazy maze. At the end of it was the bridge match. All thoughts, all con versations led eventually to that. She saw newspaper reporters and representatives of magazines. She rave her impressions, on the young er generation oz wnica sne was a member, her impressions on prohi bition, her impressions on the game of auction as opposed to contract bridge. There was so much to do, so little time to do it in. The days were rushing by. The bridge marathon, whose fame had spread from coast to coast, was two weeks off, was one week off, was three days off, was to begin tomorrow night Everything had been arranged. The hotel had been selected. Julian had chosen it from a dozen applicants, the Beveridge, Park Avenue's newest and smart est hotel. There was to be an en tire floor, large enough to accom modate five hundred of the many thousands who clamored for the prized invitation cards. Patricia was stunned when she heard the extent of the arrange ments to furnish the waiting pub lie with every word of news. An entire suite had been given over to newspaper men, who were to re port the play, hand by hand. Cer tain newspapers had put in their own telegraph wires; other depend ed on telephones, and there were a row of them upon a row of desks. A special telegraph office had been installed, and the instruments were ready to flash tha results to Ko komo, to Detroit to San Francisco. The radio men had installed a mi crophone. The news-reel camera men had been allowed to set up ed back. When father and his little band of seven wagons stop ped. 43 wagons went on and we never overtook them." W U The whole of the Geer address, preserved in the bound book men tioned heretofore, was interesting and enlightening; and it gave many, tributes to the humanity and fine leadership of General Palmer. The whole of the Geer address was printed in this col umn some years ago. t s There were two principal wars of forming camp on the plains journeys. One subjected the wom en and children to the danger of being run over by oxen and horses, the wasons formine a corral for the stock. The other, used by Capt. Palmer in his 1847 company, provided a corral for the people, with the waeons so placed that oxen and horses could' be Quickly hitched to them. S S The Palmer 1847 wagon train had a small cannon. It had been made in 1844 bv the 'Wales ta celebrate the wished for and ex pected election of Henrr Clay as president When he was defeat ed, the Whigs gave the cannon to the Democrats, and they in turn gave (it to Ralph C. Geer to bring to Oregon. It was planned that the cannon be fired every night after making camp and this was done, excepting a few nights, and only on those silent nights was there any attempted stealing of stock by the Indians. The inter esting story of what became ot the -cannon, named "The Young Democrat," after It was brought to Oregon and Salem, has already been told In this column. On July 4 the Palmar company reached Independence Rock, mon olithic guest book of the plains, and at high noon the nation's na tal day was celebrated by hoisting the Stars and Stripes and firing the cannon on its top.

She went downstairs to Join the others. Florists boxes lay on- opened in the foyer, boxes all for her. She spared them not a single glance as she trailed into the liv ing room where Haverholt and a dozen of his most ardent support- era had gathered. They were pledg ing victory in champagne. "Skoal" said Julian and raised his glass and looked at the lovely trembling girl, who faced him and drank too. "Too bad," someone said, glanc ing toward the windows, "too bad ifs raining on your night of vic tory. "That won't matter," replied Ju lian arrogant and confident "WeU have a rain-proof gallery anyhow. I hear the police are calling out reserves." They laughed, all except Patricia. She leaned back against a marble mantle, white and still. Deep cir cles ringed her eyes. Except for rouge ner face was entirely color less. She was overwrought to a condition bordering on hysteria.

Patricia grew a little calmer, tot a firmer grip upon herself as she and Julian drove through the cold ly falling rain, seeure and snug in the familiar limousine. At least she stopped the shaking. A thousand times she told herself that this was just a game, just the game of bridge that she had known from childhood, the same old game de spite its modem trappings, despite the tons of ballyhoo. Julian said repeatedly: "Do your best Patrida, that's all you need to do. Tour best Is good enough for me. It wiS be far too good for Blair and Sanders." Apparently he had no fears on his own account Apparently he was the same old egotist. The rain was pouring now, drum ming on the roof. The streets were black and glistening.

Even with the bridges paid for by tolls there is still a heavy charge to- be met by the highway : fund in the cost ot features essen tial to the new bridge use but not covered by the government loan. That is, there are connections to be completed between the high ways and the bridges that the highway fund must pay for. At the Coos bay bridge this cost wilj be especially heavy. At some of the other points the highway hai been built with the bridge cross ing in prospect but it was not so there. The state is proud of the coast highway. It opens a section ol surpassing beauty and when bet ter known will bring wide re nown. The highway has cost a lot of money more than any other In the state. Oregon Is proud but the other sections that have wait ed while the money was poured Into that road will resent and protest against the taking of moro moneys from the fund to save a slight toll charge.
