The wording probably 'hasn’t been changed for * hundred years. The printed word Still proclaims that the railroad is not liable for any damage caused by the ‘act of God;” also that a freight car Is just a warehouse on wheels, and the liability of th* carrier shall be that of iwarehouMinan, only—eta., etc., for about three thousand words. If a railway train is blown away by a cyclone or washed away by a flood the shipper is obliged to look to provi dence for relief. Doubtless this is as tt should be, and our courts decided these matters many, many years ago. Democracy seldom surrenders pow er except to dictatorship. The recent Oregon special election again confirm* the political maxim that democracy will not vote itself out of political powers which it has felt the thrill of exercising, and it will not vote taxes onto itself. Democracy is ever ready to vote taxes onto minorities. It will vote taxes onto property with ruthless dis The U.

If it wasn’t for bringing children into the kind of a world we now have, re turning to the old custom might have talking pointe in ite favor. The Oregon Journal states edi torially, and complainingly, that for merly in America there we* one gov ernment employee for each 1000 of population and that now there are 100 government employees for each 1000 papulation. We don’t know where the eeteemed Journal got ite figures. That would mean that every tenth person you meet is on a public payroll. Th* city of Coquill*, for instance, would have 250 such employees within its gates, which is not the ease, even though were included the postoffice, county court house and state highway department Neither would it be true of Coos county, even if th* boy* in the OCC camps were counted. Neither is it true of the state Of Oregon. It t is true, however, that we have a i plentiful supply ef tax-eaten, but not ; to the extent, of ten per cent of the i population. The Journal should be i more specific, definite and certain— • as my lawyer friends would say. members in their respective office*. The plan at least has the advantage of avoiding possible friction between the board members. State employees are wondering what effect, if any, the National Re covery Act will have on their hours ■ nd pay. In fact the problem has been put up to Attorney General Van Winkle by one department bead. Un der the circumstances, with approp riations already fixed for- the bien nium, it would be almost impossible either to increase the pay of public employees or to reduce their hours of labor which would necessitate the em ployment of additional help and, in cidentally, increased expense. Getting Ready for School (Oregon State Board of Health) Now is the time for the family physician to look over his families and examine the preschool children so that they will be fit to enter school in September. All children entering school for the first time should have a physical examination. County medi cal societies should urge every prac- ticioner of medicine to examine child ren in a manner that will meet the physical needs of school life with the object of correcting defects discover ed. The community can be best serv ed by the examination of children in the office of the private physician. The physicians of this state are asked to make this contribution to the main tenance of health. To make this con tribution in a manner that will re tain personal relationship between the family and the physician may require examinations on a specially reduced fee and in other instances the post poned payment of fee. Each indivi dual physician is asked to do hi* part. The future of our children depends upon the opportunities for adequate health which we are able to give them today. Children should receive a thor ough physical examination by a com petent physician before they are sent to school. Thia ' means that a child should be ■tripped and gone over thoroughly. The examination should« include at least hearing and vision tests, relation of height to weight, examination of the teeth, nose, throat, heart, lungs, spine, posture, feet, ur ine, blood, nervous condition, mental and emotional state and" general ton*. It should also include inquiry and ad vice concerning diet, exercise, sleep and personal habit*.
