JO U R N A L , MORO T H E S E T H IN G S W E N O TE Continued from Page One Wine growers complain most bitterly saying that the price of wine at the winery has declined from $1.10 to 34 cents per gallon. They are all co-operatively own ed and the Italian and Portugese grape growers talk a very sad story. Bottlers and distributors get more of the wine drinker’s dollar than the growers. Taxes in some counties are $1500 on a 40- acre vineyard, it is said, and will now be higher. Californians don’t seem to drink much wine either. "Many places have display’s for it apparently is sold vnder the same license as beer. No diner was seen with a wine glass by his plate and deal ers interrogated said the wine business was slow. The hardy men of other countries and other days who lived long and lustily on a diet of hard work and wine, dark bread, cheese and sausage are neither hardy nor so hard these days of machinery and they get their intoxication from grains instead of grapes. And even that old staple—bread—is not eaten so largely as before. cR E G O N Probably most of the time of tlie legislature will be taken up with non-essentials, that being the custom of the people. Some ve-y accomplished publicity seekeis have been elected, men who will advocate the hanging of the gov- inor to make the front page— with pictures. These will be heard from. The work will be done by some one else.

G Taking the limelight now is the reports of interim, committees named to study «two phases of Oregon politics: the highway com- h mittee and the game committee. a) The highway committee is ask ing for an additional gas tax for d highway purposes, wtbout pay- a ent to users for non-highway con- j sumption. There are some other recommendations that make ’or y lively arguments. The important Step on the starter! Zoom . . . you’re off with a MOPXR power Line Battery tn your car.

Some sportsmens’ groups have been willing to pay mo’ c but it is entirely possible that APPROVED REPLACEMENT sportsmen’s groups do no< re present all the hunters and- fish er. merely the more financially able one. As for both of the requests, however, it is certain that if gov ernment is to be asked to do more, or do more quickly, it must liave more money with which to do IL Just because there is less talk V about taxes doesn’t mean that WAHCO, OREGON it will not be a legislative head ache Oregon’8 tax system Is per haps the most Involved of any state and nearly half of the le- gilature is composed of men with no legislative experience. They may get the notion that the le gislature can do something im portant to Oregon’s tax system. That would be wrong. Only the people can make importât changes and they are seldom in the mood for tax changes, having learned, apparently, that any change even tually costs more money. elans' Service Is now available, ac cording to Drs. Herbert D. Lewis, Hood River, and Victor Mills, The n Dalles. 1 This action followed recent ap- v proval of the plans by the Mid n Columbia Medical Society of ■ which Dr. Lewis Is president and I Dr. Mills secretary. I The society officers announced | that employed individuals now I are offered the choice of two O. 1 P. S. plans through individual an- .i rolhnent: semi-full coverage and j surgical - hospital-limited medical coverage. i The semi-full ^overage plan pro- ’ vides the following benefits: me- *1 dical and surgical services any- | where in Oregon; emergency ser- a vices anywhere in North Amer- 1 ica; services of specialists; com- plete medicines for hospitalized j cases, complete hospitalization 1 service in a ward or equivalent up **j to 60 days of full coverage and ■ an additional 60 days at half cost; I ambulance service; special nurs- I ing and private room services up | to 15 days in any serious case; x- ! ray service; physical therapy ser- < vice; and refractions. The surgical-hospital - limited medical plan provides these bene fits: surgical service for major and minor operations; medical services for cases requiring hos pitalization; treatment of fractur es and dislocations; pre-natal, ob stetrical, and post-natal services; surgical and consultation services of O. P. S. specialists; hospital care up to 21 days full ward ser vice, plus an additional 90 days service for which O. P. S. defrays one-half the cost. Now, more than 1,000 Oregon physicians, surgeons, and special ists are cooperating with O. P. S. About 90,000 employees In more than 2,500 Oregon firms have O. P. S. coverage and more than 15,- 000 additional family members are protected. O. P.
