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 . " ' .

"What is it all about?" asked
Gloria excitedly. '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 !""

Before anything more could be are''' he aid' looking down into
said the assistant director came to
me and asked: "Have you an ev
ening coat with you?'
' 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!"

boon on a set and I am so fright
oncd, Mr, Thompson."
Don t you worry, Virginia. I
know the ropes." . " .
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. .

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.
