Six Percent Limitation
Members of the Salem school board are to consult with
school boards of other cities as to advisability of launching
an effort to repeal the constitutional amendment banning
any increase in tax levies over six percent above the previ
ous year's levy.
The six percent limitation is symptomatic of the modern
tendency to regulate and limit everybody and everything,
even tax fixing bodies, on the supposition that no one can
be trusted unless there is a compulsory law to control them.
Like other regulatory statutes, it has had the contrary ef
fect from that intended, for since its adoption, taxation has
increased by leaps and bounds and each year sees it mount
ing to new high levels.
As a result of this six percent limitation, budgets are uni
formly fixed to absorb it, and we have an increase of six
percent whether needed or not. The six per cent increase is
generally regarded as mandatory instead of being, as in
tended, the limit of increase in exceptional years.
Before the adoption of this amendment, it was a matter
of pride for public officials to make a record in reducing
public expenditures and lowering tax rates. Now if the offi
cials hold their increases within the six percent, without
asking a bond issue, they point to it with pride as a praise
worthy achievement.
Even though the six percent limitation defeats its pur
pose, it is questionable whether the people will vote for its re
peal or modification, for the title won its adoption, and few
voters in this intelligent democracy of ours, go back of the
title. Only a few years ago Oregonians voted against repeal
of the constitutional inhibition against negroes becoming
residents or property holders in Oregon, despite the fact
that the provision has been invalid since the adoption of the
15th amendment to the federal constitution during the civil
Mar.
Exploiting the Dead
Robbery and exploitation of the dead goes merrily for
ward in the Valley of the Kings as the Egyptians bid for
tourist trade with the mummy of King Tut, and the skillful
propaganda of its discovery conducted through the press,
The jewels grow more wondrous and the coffin heavier
with gold as the remains of the monarch shrink into those of
a consumptive youth.
Every description put.forth of this vandalism makes the
beauty of everything connected there with more inexpres
sible," and the loot of the dead the "greatest treasures hu
manity will henceforth possess." So the changes are con
stantly rung in the oft-told story.
Even the jewelry seen in the mummy wrappings and
blackened by embalming fluids, can "be restored to pristine
brilliance" while the crown is "the most wonderful discovery
yet, the world's greatest masterpiece of the jewelers art,'
while'the archeologists in charge declare "Tutankhamen
was a male, not yet of adult age."
All of these marvels, news of which is permitted to per
colate in fragmentary scientific announcements will be on
exhibition at Egyptian museums. And there is the rifled
tomb and other relics of the ancient civilization of the valley
of the Nile as additional attractions. The discoveries are
timed to attract winter tourists traffic, and even Florida will
be a poor competitor.

OB.tA$ MEMOKUL lNST it t U t E.-T .
(By E. R. Scott) I
Surgeon General. U. S. Navy; mem-'
ber Gorgas Memorial Institute.
In recent writings I have been
unable to flnd'any rule of health
which is more comprehensive and
practical than that given by Plut
arch almost 2000 yearn ago. Eat,
but not to satiety; labor, but not to
weariness; keep in nature."
From observations made during
the lost fifteen years, we know
that many faults have crept into
our dietary solely from that disre
gard of nature against which Plut
arch warns us. We have come to
know not only that wo need cer
tain amounts of calcium and phos
phorus, but also that there eub
proopcr ration; and that it Is In
"natural" foods, those least alter
ed in the processes Incidental to
preparation for the table, that
these minerals occur In assimilable
forms and in proper proportion.
Yet, In our ill-advised attempts
to improve the appearance or the
keeping properties of foods, we
have in many Instances, thrown
away those Inorganic salts and vit
a mines for lack of which we suf
fer Ill-health and disease.
Cornaro, who deliberately set
out to live one hundred years, and
succeeded, writes in praiise of a
life of sobriety, asserting that "Or
derly living is no other than a most
certain cause of roundatlon of
health and long living; nay, I can
not help saying that it Is the only
truo medicine."
Similar are the conclusions of
Charles W. Eliot, who attributes
his good health to daily exorcise,
moderate eating, and a calm tem
perament; whllo Sir Francis Ba
con, emphasizing the value of in
dividual experience, tells us that
"Man's observation of what he
finds hurt of and good of Is the
best physic." Perhaps the most
satisfying modern rule of health
I have come across is that of Leon
ard Williams, who states that good
health is based on "fresh air, mea
ger faro and freedooin from care."
But after all it is not enough
to live according to rule. We need
advice as to habits; how to rid
ourselves of Infections, how to cor
reel bodily disorders. Indispens
able for the purpose is occasional
examination by your family phy
sician, Qualified to detect distur
bance and competent to advise ac
cordingly. Hence I am of the opinion that
one of the greatest gains In health
promotion is the general recogni
tion of the value of the annual
health examination sponsored by
the Gorgas Memorial Institute. By
such perioodical "stock-taking" we
find some fault In diet. Imprudent
habit, focus of Infection, or other
source ot damage, that, once dis
covered, may be removed, and the
disease which otherwise would
result prevented or arrested.
Chicago The appointment of
John R. McQuigg, national com
mander of the American Legion,
to the directorate ot the Gorgas
Memorial Institute was announced
by Dr. Franklin Martin, chairman
of the Board of the Institute.
"Commander McQuigg's decision
to serve with loading physicians
and surgeons who are devoting
their efforts to a more healthy na
tion is especially gratifying," said
Dr. Martin, lie is Hie direct rep
resentative of more than seven
million men who were called to
the colors during the World War
and physically examined under tho
supervision of the late Surgeon
General Gorgas.
"The fact that more than one
third of thoso examined woro
found unfit for military service
on account of physical disabilities
is a challange to all thinking Am
ericans, tl la striking evldejnce
that there Is such work ahead for
Commander McQuigg and tho
members of tho Institute in work
of educating tho public to ways
of better health.
