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.

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

and other districts and then blame the government because
they are skillful in dodging prosperity.
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.

that Madeline wear warmer cloth

Mrs. Lindsay had turned on her
furiously.
"I am quite capable of dressing

you. Miss Lane," bIio said. "Mero

Madeline had caught cold, and

her, got woivso rapidly. A doctor
was called, but seemed able to do
nothing. Madeline w:w a frail child

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.
