The Power Bills Two initiative measures have been filed for ballot titles . with state officials to be submitted to the people at the next general election to put the state into the business of develop ing hydro-electric power. One of the measures is fathered by the State Grange and the other mothered by the Portland Housewives Council. Each calls for bond issues for financing to the extent of nearly half a billion dollars, to be expended by commissions named by framers of the bills. It is surprising to see the Grange, which habitually pro tests bond issues as a source of taxation, advocating a measure which will not only make for excessive taxation through the usual inefficiency of political control, but elim inate from the tax rolls a large percentage of taxable prop erty, f5r public owned utilities pay no taxes but on the other hand usually require additional tax levies to foot operation deficiencies caused by low service charges fixed to create popularity. The "Housewives Council'' consists of Dan Kellahar and a bunch of professional political agitators and corporation baiters, skulking behind the skirts of a few women, whom they utilize as a "front" to give respectability to their appeals to the people and secure for themselves plums and power. It would indeed be an interesting development of the times if housewives are to run half billion dollar power projects. No reason exists for either of these initiative measures. Private capital is developing hydro-electric plants as fast, indeed faster, than the market for power develops. Rates are fixed by the state, through the public service corporation so as to yield a fair return upon actual investment, without penalizing the consumer. And every dollar invested means a dollar to be taxed for the support of the state. voice, arid she sank down In her chair again.

NEW INCORPORATIONS Spuds Soaring One reason some farmers are not more successful is that they do not exercise ordinary good jodgment in marketing crops, do not study market situations and take advantage of conditions. Some sell at the first opportunity, others hold too long. As a ee.ne.ral rule, the economic law of supply and de mand governs price. When there is a surplus of production, nrices dron. When there is a shortage, prices soar, ine ex tent in either case is measured by the production, though fieouentlv stimulated by speculation. Some time since it became apparent that there was a cnnntrv wide shortage of potatoes, due to crop failure in po tato growing regions. Then followed winter weather in the mid west, freezing potatoes still in the Held, waunany po Infnoa Jirp (rnillir Un bv leans and bounds and will probably go still higher.

Of course Salem isn't the center of .the world's greatest potato district, nor do we grow the finest potatoes on earth, but we produce a goodly quantity of good quality spuds and this is one year they should profit the grower.

Mrs, JJndsny, who was very proud of (he child's beauty, had taken M.-idc lino out one afternoon, and insist rd on her wealing a frock nnd coat that were far too thin for the cold clay. Marie had tactfully suggested that Madeline wear warmer cloth ing. "She had her beaver coat on every day for ft week now, when she went out," she had mild, and Mrs. Lindsay had turned on her furiously. "I am quite capable of dressing my own daughter suitably, thank you. Miss Lane," bIio said. "Mero ly berause sho needs a fur coat when sho walks in tho park with you Is no reason why sho should wear it when she drives In the car with me." Madeline had caught cold, and despite, Marie's efforts to cure her, got woivso rapidly. A doctor was called, but seemed able to do nothing. Madeline w:w a frail child and had no powers of resistance.

I- I W ff T I T U T E; r By Dr. Alice G. Bryant (Boston, Mass.) Member Clorgas Memorial Institute. Heating the home la a world wide question. It demands the attention of both city and country dwellers. Tho subject Is as old as when man first learnt to make fire. No one escapes the 111 effects of unscientific heating and ventilat ing. Tills whole question Is i ' -use ly human. "It is not enough thai houses should be built, but tlioy should bo built well as to health. Jluufan Indoor dwellers have a greed for heat and moro heat dur ing the winter season when closed windows are in evidence. , t j not be a slave to the thermometer. H does not tell the whole story. Sci ence today links temperature con trol with humidity control and vel ocity of air current. Dust is a me nace. Air-borne germs do not ex ist, but dust-borne germs do exist. Humdlfying the air reduces the dust. Many of our modern dwelling houses, more especially our city apartments, carry no higher than 20 to 30 per cent humidity, or even a lower humidity. Thoy vie with the Sahara Desert, or oven surpass it, for the Desert's humidity aver ages about 30 per cent. The humidity records for class rooms in a northern city high school biuldlng in winter wero very; much worse and there was no pro-! vision for humidifying tho air. Re sult was "a very bad effect on the comfort, ability for work and the! behavior of the pupils." "Winter house-warming brinyti an increase in respiratory troubles. and in so-called "common colds." l'liydielans know that auch condi tions, often repeated, develop into moro serious troubles and thoy may bo a factor in producing dcafnoHd. Human beings constantly pro dueo and give off heat. Tho at mosphere must not-bo too hot or too humid to Interfere with the process. They must nut servo us humidifiers. House contents, walls, floors, ceil lugs, plants and air leakages absorb largo qua n lilies of w iter, and moisture condenses on window panes and cold surfaces. Many re newals of air occur In a room in a day and mofsturo is needed. Tho central heating system may func tion with full waier requirements, but failing to do so , numerous kinds of devices may be used. Tho hot-air furnace should havo a water reservoir In the air jacket ed dome. With hot water or steam heatln;r systems, pans of water nro often placed on the radiators and their efficiency Increased with tho use of electric fans. These pans of water which serve, as humidors should have a broad snrvaco of water exposed with a rapid renewal of air over the mirface of ths wa ter. In an ordinary sized house not one or two quarts of water, but 10 to 13 or more gallons o water should be evaporated daily. Wo cannot afford to disregard the forecasting of correct air con ditioning for indoor dwellers. It Is a study in preventive medicine "Better .Health" movement which the Clorgas Memorial In.stltuto knows will continue to pay you big bonuses in health.
