THE chamber of commerce of Albany him adopted resolutions recommending that Oregon voters re frain from signing referendum petitions for the tithing bill, the tobacco tax bill and the bus and truck bill. The Ueniocrat-JIerald tells us: The chamber takes the position 4hat the Interests of the slate are paramount to thoso of I ho Individual or the group and that pride In our stale requires us to surrender our personal ob jections to the measures, to the end that the revenue which will accrue by reason of them muy rescue the state from a most embarrassing situation. The nction nnd the ground therefor taken by the Albany chamber of commerce arc precisely similar to those advocated by The Guard. The state ot Oregon is confronted by h financial crisis which there is no certain way to avert, except by allowing the special revenue acts referred to m tlie loregoing tako eiieet in due course on May i!8 next. If the referendum petitions ugainst them obtain the required number of signatures to refer them to the voters, then tlie acts will bo prevented from going into effect until after the election on Novem ber, l!2i. Meanwhile a shortage in necessary state revenues will accrue which is variously estimated up to $2,.r()(),()()0. f people generally can bo brought to understand this situation, it is possible that enough of them will de cline to sign ho that the reterendum petitions will fail. The action of the Albany chamber of commerce is timely and might well be emulated by similar organizations in other cities. It is n course of sound policy. The Salem Capital Journal bus at last found some thing on which to confer its unstinted approval and laudation. It is the iodine "cure" for goitre. Says the Capital .Journal: "The cost is infinilsinal and the use beneficial, even when goitro has not developed." It is tsueli advocacy as this that has brought the iodine treat ment fad to such general unthinking acceptance that it is being administered wholesale among school pupils, alike to those who are supposed to need it and all others whose parents will consent. Ono pupil to whom the itloino treatment was thus administered under pro fessorial' lint here 111 iMigcne recently been mo poisoned by it. Thereupon a clinic was called on tho caso, and its grave decision was that a, mistake apparently had been made by administering tho iodine treatment to one utisuited to it, but hope was held out to tho parents that the patient probably would not havo to remain bedfast nioro than a few weeks, although her return to school this year was doolared out of the question. Tho theory on which tho iodino treatment is being nmdo a part of tho public school curriculum seems to bo that it might bu good for what ails you and if nothing' ails you it is worth an experiment anyway. Tho llarrisburg Hulletin publishes an editorial under (lie caption, "JlelpI Help! " calling attention to the lact that agitation at Albany for the establishment of, a cheese factory in Mini county reveals igii'oraiico of the fact that there is already such an industry at llarris burg. Says the Bulletin: Nobody boosts. Tbn fnctory Isn't half supported by the locnl dairymen. Tho plant Is capable of clnubln tho production. It Is tlm mukliiK of a bin Industry if It wore boosted. . It is a good point Hint tho I?ulletin makes. 1'oople of any county ought to inform themselves about, appre ciate and "boost" the industries already in their midst before seeking others like them. Hotter one cheese fac tory adequately supported and prosperous llian two or nioro existing only precariously. Ilomo industries nro worthy of boino support, because homo industries moan iiayrolls and payrolls mean demand for commodities. Now that the Hulletin has made I. inn county aware of the existence of its cheese factory, perhaps support of tho industry will bo stimulated. of that city. One siili finds oceaeionally a mer chant who doesn't believe In adver tising particularly among gr. .fri, wliile it is being proveu more con clusively every day, not only within our own scope of observation but everywhere flirouahnut the roiinlrv that the businrta that uses adverlis lug, sod lives up to It. succeeds. Of course, the Iti-page advertise meat is a rare exception. This mer chant msy have acted on the theory thst if a little is good a l"t ought t' be better. Hut he undoubtedly fit his idea across, lie not only lias sll of Eugene and territory talking about him but tile wliole srste ss well. He is combining the practical with the tin usual snd thereby getting double value. There are many wars to advertise, hut miMt of them are of doubtful value. The fellow who sticks to the newspaper, where people expert to find advertisements, usually gets the most vslue for bis money. j In Lighter Vein AH Proper Nlsre, (to fnrle who baa iu$tA theater) "Tbaoki awfully, Uncle, but on of my fritDdi la picking me up here to go and dunce somewhere.

Every body praised President Coolidgo'j economy program until he really be gan to economis. Then the yelp weut up immediately that be was hurting busineas. It went up soonest, and still is loudest, in Washington, because eras ing Dnmes from the government pay roll honestly does put a crimp hi to local trade. Every time a public ser vant loses his job, Washiugton mer chants lose a customer, What's more, evco those who arcn's fired are ufniid they're going to be, so all of them are hanging onto every cent they' can. Jnssmucb as about half Washing ton's population consists of federal employes, this cjiiuis. Most of the de-jobbed government toilers leave fo, tl.eir respective borne towns directly after dismissal. They have to get back where they're ac quainted, to took fur work, (ieoeralty they probubly lire better off for be ing driven out into the cold world of private activity which, If more stren uous, also averages better pny thiiu the government's. Few of them loos at it thus, however. Tbey way they tell It, they're victims of a perfect hysteria of penny-pinching. Th ?y simply were ind.spcnsible in Wash ington, too. Others might have been spared, but without themselves th? government wilt go to Bimt.h. That', tbe version of thoso whom presiden tial ocouiony has lopped off. .

Not only ia a weeding out of in dividuals a good thing, but whole bu reaus and departments ought to be abolished. President Coolidge knew ii wouid be painful and said so, but ho hows signs of going through to tho bitter end. It will save mouey, pro mote efficiency and end a lot of gov ernment poking, by officials who haven't anything else to do, The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce calls attention to the ftc: that in tbe last five years American have inrested $3,aU0.0OO,0OO In en terprises in foreign countries. This is on top ot huge investments prior to the five-year period. Nor does it in clude government loans just private investments. They're not aafo invest ments, either. Senator Bomb remarks. Why not? Oh, because If America ever gels into war with auy of the coun tries where the money rs, they'll sim ply" turn it over the their alien prop erly custodians and it will be gone for keeps. Thut's what we did with (Jer mau private property here, the seu alr observes. tt n course he thinks others will be glud to imitate if c'r they get tbe cbauce. The chnmber of commerce of the United States dopes ii out that a salesman who's deeply in debt is h better worker, on on average, than one who's debt free. For ono thing, he bss to work hard to pay his ob ligations off. And only n smart umn can persuade anybody to make him a big loan.
