To the Editor: Well, It seem as it the clique Is In a great hurry to get at the taxpayer and are going ' tu leave no dirty trick unplayed to win. - On November 19, an election was held In Multnomah county at which the greater part of the yol era were either not taxpayers, or very small ones, to decide in favor of adding at least three million dollars more to the load of the taxpayer. , On November 25, only six days after the election, the governor called a special session of the leg islature to meet on the 19th of De cember for the purpose of passing the bill that the Portland bog asks tor. Will the legislature do so? I hope not. It they are just men, they will not call tor any election before the regular election of next November. The Portland hog wants the election In the spring, for the reason that the farmer has no time to help put a ring in the Portland hog's nose. The governor says that the leg- islature is called "to consider for ' submission to the people, at the primary nominating election in May, 1922, the matter of whether the state of Oregon shall, by gen' eral election, bear a share of the burden of expense of an interna tional exposition to be held in Oregon iu 1925." It Is the duty of the legislature to set the time for, this election when a fair expression of the vot ers of the state can be had. No tair expression of the will of the people can be had at a special elec tion when the taxpayer stays home and works and only those, that have nothing to lose and ev erything to win by loading these three millions or more on the tax payers, will be on hand. I soe that Hon. Thomas Kay eems to be the only one of Mar ion county's members that under stands the condition of the over loaded taxpayer. I wish that he was governor. I feel sure that he would not inflict on us an unfair special election, when the major ity of the taxpayers cannot take time to vote. Let the voters of : Oregon Bee how their senators and representatives act at the next- session. Now let us examine the last five elections. In doing so I shall, for convenicce, make no distinction between amendments and meas urea. Regular election November 5, 1918157.964 votes cast; 7 meas- , urcs voted on, three carried and four were lost. Special election, Juno 3, 1919 90,870 votes cast; 9 measures vot , ed on, five measures curried and four were lost. Special eloction May 21, 1920 171,592 votes cast; 9 measures were voted on; all carried. : Regular election November 2, 1920247.899 votes cast; 12! measures voted on; ouly one car ried and 1 1 were lost. Special election June 7, 1921 130,466 votes cast; 5 measures Toted on; three were carried and two were lost. Lot the legislature look before It leaps. The taxpayers may get their backs up. They have not had fair play. JOHN F. THEO B. BRENTANO. St. Paul, Or., Nov. 29. It has been seriously proposed that the state make an appropriation to dig stalled autoa out of the snow and ice blockades on the Columbia highway because many of the : car owners are tourists in straightened financial condition, I who found it pleasanter to ford and see the country than to j go to work. . i Why not? In this piping age of paternalism it seems the ! public duty to take care of everyone at the taxpayers expense who is too lazy, too shiftless or too incompetent to work; From the cradle to the grave we are interfering and regulat and verboting-and rescuing so why not take care of the tourist, for whom we have already provided free camp grounds, free fuel, free gas, free water, free baths and other accommodations, for whom we have paved our roads and are now buying scenic parks for residence in summer time? Why not ? Is the government not loaning money to most any old industry that seeks it to postpone the day of reckon ing and continue inflation? Isn't the government subsidizing cprtam other industries by emergency tariffs at the con sumers' expense ? Why shouldn't the government help the poor tourist, for what is the government for, if not to help everyone at the taxpayers expense? Why not? Hasn't Uncle Sam gone into the maternity business to see that children come into the world properly and officially, where welfare workers can look after them at the taxpayers expense, and county courts farm them out as drudges to parsimonious families, as we are outgrowing the sickly sentimentality of letting parents rear their own offspring? Why not rescue the tourist's auto as well as his children? , Why not? Hasn't the governor of Oregon met the great emergency of hard-times by summoning the legislature- in special session to call a special election to vote millions of dollars at the taxpayers expense to provide an exposition that Portland wants but doesn't want to pay for. and thus relieve the financial stringency of the metropolis and gladden the hearts of the promoters? Why shouldn't the state take care of these autoists and of everyone else who doesn't work ana wont work as long as there are a few taxpayers left who do work and have property to be taxed? What else are taxpayers for? , . '; Why not, indeed 1 .

'1 knew it would come. I told Herb so. Those girls don't care what they do. They will go anywhere with any one for the sake of booze. That is their idea of a good time. Tell me about It." "All I know, Ria, is that both girls are quite ill and have been taken to the hospital. Someone said Herb was trying to hush it up so that it would not get in the newspapers." "On the set, everybody, on the set," shouted Tommy Warner, the assistant director. "That means you, Virginia;" "Oh, what shall I do! Oh, what shall I do! I am frightened." "Don't worry.. Just follow the crowd. 'Oh.:' 1 exclaimed as the lights flared up Into my eyes. "They fairly hurt me!" "Action." I started in toward the door when the boy grabbed me back to say: "Wait until he calls our number." I had forgotten that the director had given us the num ber "one." . "Music! Everybody dance! No. 1. No. 4." He may have called other numbers but I don't remem ber for we were moving through the door Into a lovely, baronial hall with a ball room.filled with dancers opening out on it. Hardly knowing what I was do ing I turned to Jack Thompson and said, ecstatically: "At last am a moving picvare actress ! I !"" "What a dear, little thing you J)o a you pie Mfr folks will "talk T .. about you anyhow? tea, mi rib will do you tu good it you aonro r know riow -j: to uJ It.

' Before I could answer Gloria thrust her cape toward me, say ins: "Oh, turn mine inside out. It will look all right and I do not ucud it in this scene." "Here, get your coat and hat," Tom Warner said to a good look ing boy who was standing near. But when the boy brought them he shouted: "Your hat won't do at all. Who's $ot a silk hat" Three or four were thrust toward him. "Here, take, these. . You two coiae In this door. You with youf overcoat over your arm and your hut in your left hand; and you Alias, with your cape on. You escort her to this door where she leaves her cape. Then you leave her and walk acros the set to this duor, go through quickly and re turn without your hat and coat. Agatn walk . across stage and stand waiting for her. She comes out through the door. You wel come her with a smile. That's your action." And he left us to give directions to several others. I was hurriedly trying to say over in my mind these directions I knew I would forget them, and beside I was fussed because I had never met the boy before. He was well bred, however, and as he came toward me he said: "I am Jack Thompson, Miss ." "Winston," I managed to answer; Virginia Winston. This is the lirst time that I have ever my face with a great smile. I think We managed to get through with it all right, for Tommy Warner came to me and said "What were you saying to that guy? You must like him." I was ashamed to tell him so I simply said: "1, was so excited 1 don't remember what I said." well, keep It up. It was great!" "I'll try," I answered and then he went back to his chair nd the director shouted again: "Action! and then "Camera." Not knowing wnat mis meant I stood stock still. It happened to be the very thing I should have done until our number was called. Again I stumbled on. Again I had the same thrill and thank my lucky stars for again 1 felt my face light up as I turned to Jack Thomp son and again said, perhaps more ecstatically than before: "At last I am a movie actress!"

I wasnt quite sure whether he should have called me Virginia or not but he looked so kind and ut terly unconscious of breaking any of the conventions that I de cided that I would only make my self ridiculous by calling his at tention to them. , "I'm glad he happened to pick me for your partner. I'm not so sure whether I am your brother, your lover or your husband. Do you know whether we are suppos ed to be married or notT I don't." "Don't ask me anything abput it. I told you benire that I never had been on the set until this morning." Well you have made a hit all right, Virginia, and I am in luck to have the director single me out to be your partner to play this bit. It insures us at least two more days' work." "Isn't that nice," I answered. "Places please. Lights! We'll rehearse it once." the director call ed through his megaphona. . Moratorium Plan Will Go Before Reparations Body Paris, Dec.

ALSO MAKERS OP KM1QID5 (Tablets mr Cranutos) I 22 INDIGESTION SMOIl Ptrhaps yau are one ot the thou sands of men and women today who are run down , tired out and "pepless." You sleep poorly, are easily fatigued and suffer from a high nervous tension. Or you are irritable, easily annoyed by the petty details of your daily task, and approach your work in the morning with a listlessness and dull dread, instead of with vim and vigorous enthusiasm. Such people, , who feel them selves on the verge ot a nervous breakdown, attribute it to over work. As a matter of fact this is often tar from the truth. Science has proved that the hu man brain is so constituted that it can stand a tremendous amount of work in fact is stimulated by it. But 14 must have the cooperation of, a sound, well-nourished, healthy body. . Nine times out ot ten those who think they are Buffering from overwork are really suffering from under-nourishment. They are not the victims of " nerves-" but of Malnutrition. What is this "Malnutrition" we hear so much about nowadays? Not the lack of food but lack ot a balanced ration, lack of the vital elements in the food we eat the inability ot our food to supply the body with those properties most essential for Its growth and to sustain life. , Titamines the curious growth promoting, healthgiving elements found chiefly in milk, yeast, leaf vegetables, eggs and the outer cov ering ot rice, wheat and other cereals, are often, eliminated from the modern diet because of scien tific milling and overcooking. . Until those vital elements are supplied, the body cannot attain its highest development, the sys tem is weakened, and low vitality is the result. ' Now science has discovered an easy way of supplying these health building vit amines in the wonder ful new tonic food which was perfected by Dr. Philip B. Hawk, Professor" of Physiological Chem istry at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, called SUSTO, which contains in a . concentrated form the vitamlnes of Yeast, Rice, Eggs, Milk with Beef Protein, Nuclein and Iron. , i Before SUSTO was offered to the ! public it was Subjected to the most i rigid tests by Dr. Hawk at the! Medical College, one of the fore most authorities on nutrition in the country who pronounced it an excellent nutritive tonic. SUSTO is. not a medicine. It is! a food balancer It adds to the! daily diet the growth-promoting,! strength and life-giving elements j that we are not getting in our daily food and which are as neces-1 sary as fresh air tp sustain life. ' If you are irritable, pale and ' nervous, thin, worn-out and hag- j gard, take SUSTO, this wonderful-, ly efficient new tonic food. There ' is nothing like it . to build up strength and energy and you will1 notice an improvement in weight. 1 physical fitness and general "pep"! in a surprisingly short time.
