A little more thun a century ago, when Britain had been fighting for years against Napoleon, food beenme very scarce. Following Is from a book on bread-making, written by Sylvester Graham, in 1837: In order to conserve wheat as much as possible, the British government or dered that the army should be supplied with bread made from unbolted wheat menl, 1. e., simply the wheat ground without having the bran or middlings removed. The soldiers were at first displeased with the bread and refused to eat It, even casting it from them In ereat rage, but after two or three weeks they began to be much pleased with It and preferred It to the fine flour bread. "The result of this experiment wns that not only was the wheat made to go further, but the health of the sol diers Improved so much and so mani festly In the course of a few months that it became a matter of common re mark among themselves and of obser vation and surprise among the officers and physicians of the army. .They ex pressed themselves with confidence and zeal on the subject. The public declared that the soldiers were never so healthy and robust. The public pa MEASURE IS FULL OF JOKERS Report Persistent That Single Tax Idea Lurks In Jackson Initiative Bill. A few years ago the people of the state of Oregon, in a spirit of gentle and amused tolerance, listened to the Portland Journal's campaign for single tax. It was Mr. Jackson's pet hobby, and his official mouthpiece ihcut'd long and loudly. When the votes were counted, however, the people breathed a sigh of relief, for single tax and Oregon citizenship weve found to have nothing in com mon. - For a time Editor Jackson sub sided. Unable to dictate the editor- ial policies of the newspapers of the I state, and stung to the quick at the i decisive defeat of his pet scheme, he maintained an attitude of calm de meanor. i Now Mr. Jackson steps up to bat again, fostering and fathering a new plan of unfathomable and inex plicable legislation. In on the scheme with Jackson Is a Portland attorney, and the two have devised a pers were for months filled with praise P that is unique to say the least. Tins Vi a IntnVocT rf I nfk la urvap hac of whole-wheat bread, and it wns reg ularly introduced into families. "Still, after tills experiment with such happy results and so genoral mid full testimony had been given In fa or of the coarse-wheat bread, when large supplies of superfine flour came in from America, and the crops from home became again abundant and the act of parliament regarding the food nf tho nrmv heenme extinct, most of the people by degrees returned to their tical, old bablts of eating fine bread." Just the Interest of the lawyer has not been divulged. The proposed law bears the Jackson trademark, and those who have familiarized themselves with the measure, state it is as full of "jokers" as some of Mr. Jackson's single tax measures in the days of old. Jackson's scheme is to abolish the delinquent tax law as It now stands and substitute in its place an imprac- etberial scheme, cleverly framed to lure the voters, but in tended as a piece of radical and vicious legislation that will benefit the lawyers, the title grabbers, and others of their ilk, at the expense of the struggling home and land owner. Such is the Jackson delin quent tax bill. There are these who intimate that Jackson's energy in Foster Dcbevoise of South Orleans, worklng for the bill is due to the N.

I Dresent statute is inspired through In commenting he speaks on tne ; tt ,alouslv ln tne Portland news- and the poor collector loses, also. Can you beat it? Jackson's scheme would end with the sending of notice by the collector. The present law provides, fur exactly the same scheme as that of Jackson, but goes a step further in the direc tion of common sense, and requires the tax collector to publish the list which is still delinquent after Jack son's method has been tried out, thus giving the essential publicity to protect the delinquent from the wilns of the tax title grabber and the tax lawyer. Of course these latter gentlemen are working tooth and toe nail for the law and believe they can put it over this fall, under the much abused banner of "economy" so-called. Certainly there could be no fairer, more equitable scheme than the present law. Let well enough alone and help the state of Oregon protect the holdings of its pejple from the tax vultures. Watch for the "Jack son" label at the coming election and swat the measures hard. SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers Seems Little Short of Miraculous to Civilian.

This may or may not be the case. The present tax publication law for Oregon is the ideal measure if public service may be considered the criterion. It is simple, practical, and devised to protect the taxpayer from the title grabbers and other vultures. Briefly, it provides that notice, be sent by the tax collector, THROUGH THE MAIL to every delinquent tax- SEE ME BEFORE SELLING YOUR GRAIN I am gram agent at Heppner for the Pacific Grain Company, successors to M.

Some quite unfounded statements have been made to the effect that sae ehnrin disturbs the digestion, Injures the kidneys, or Is even responsible for gastric carcinoma. There Is no etfi (lem' that saccharin or its allies has IMf effect whatever on the economy Xu when it Is used in quantities larger than are required to sweeten foods and beverages to suit ordinary tastes. And this, in spite of the fact that Racchnrin has been In use for more tiuan a quarter of a century. The more fact that it is an artificial wobstanee remotely derived from coal tar does not necessarily render it poi sonous, as. Rome seem to suspect.

British Medical Journal. delinquency. Then, and only then, to reach those whom the mails have failed to reach, the law -provides that publication shall be made in the newspapers. Could an? plan be fairer? Could there be any better scheme to protect the' unfortunate delinquent from the malicious cunning of the tax title grabber who loves to work in the dark. Now comes Mr. Jackson and the Portland attorney and initiate a bill to abolish the publication. It re quires no particular mental acumen to see the result, to note the splendid opportunity for the title grabbers and their legl friends to quietly "clean up" on those who have failed to receive notice. Theortically the scheme looks fine on paper. So did "single tax. So did other bits of freak legislation that have been i Rubber In Japan. The rubber manufacturing Industry In Japan has developed greatly within the past year In the scope and variety of its products. In the export trade, too, its importance is increasing. The growth of the Industry may be seen from the steady increase in the im port of crude rubber. The ofllclal trade returns state that the import in 5017 totaled 0,CSI),G:!2 yen over the figure for 1915. Formerly most of the auto mobile tires used in Japan were Im ported into that country, but now the greater part of Japan's needs ore sup plied by domestic manufacturers. The export of automobile tires has also begun with the development of rubber plants ln Japan. Girls Herding Sheen. Herding sheep the loneliest job In the world is the latest Industry to attract women. Wyoming ranchers have given so many men to the war that sheepherdcrs are very scarce, Hence Misses Lulu Munson, Belle Tat- tlson and Grace Keenan, Campbell county lassies, have become shop' herdesses ot a wage of $50 a month and "found." They have been env ployed by B. J. Reno, nndi ench girl acts as guardian to 2,500 "woolies." These girls are said to be the first feminine sheepherdcrs in the United. Delinquent Tax Publications. If the publication of delinquent taxes had not been found an effective means of securing payment frum laggard citizens the system would been eliminated long ago. The system has been enforced in most all states of the Union for years and years, and it will continue to be en forced, simply because of its value as a means of promoting govern mental efficiency. If you doubt what we have to say about the effectiveness of the publi cation of delinquents, visit tho city recorder of most any town and ask him what he thinks about such a law. City streets are built and sewers laid by the issue of bonds, refunded by assessments on individual prop erty holders. Just as the law of Oregon now provides with regard to delinquent taxes, the property owner is first notified by mail of his assess ment. We believe he receives sever al mail notices, and then, If he happens to be a laggard, the notice of delinquency of assessment Is pub lished in newspapers. In more than 50 per cent of the cases, when prop erty owners learn that the news papers have been given, or are going to be given the notices of their delin quency they hustle in and pay. It is often the case that the notice is payer within 90 days from date of j ajrejldy in type- Thig ls also true ot delinquent taxes. Many owners pay up to keep their names from the delinquent list. The Portland Journal, fathering the anti-delinquent tax publication bill, weeps over the condition of the poor who cannot raise tax money. Certainly It is pitiful, this condition. No rose but lias its thorn, and some times the reaches of most laws, rules necessary to maintain the standards of society, seem cruel. The Journal sheds such crocodile tears as balm to the great public that it professes to love. The Journal has cultivated to a high degree of efficiency this palavering, and it has become a mighty asset. But do you know, the Journal, of a single tax leaning, has never gone on record unequivocally for many things or many measures?

It is easy to get the ear of tho public on such a matter. Under the guise of fighting the battles of taxpayers, whose rights are really preserved under the law that is fought, it may be easily possible for the Journal-fathered measures to slip through. It will give that publication a prestige that it never before enjoyed, and it may bring about a deluge of freak measures, hobbies of an idealist, down about the ears of the un- Hood Jackson would have the tor send the notice through the mail AS HE NOW DOES UNDER THE PRESENT LAW. The law makes the burden obligatory on your part to keep him notified of any and all changes in your address; otherwise you lose your defease in case of foreclosure, and cannot plead lack of notice. In other words you are left holding the sock. To add insult to injury Jackson would make th3 tax collector personally liable to keep properly posts'! on your address' Briefly stated, you MUST keep the tax collector posted at all times, or lose; if Uncle Sam fails to deliver the notice as often happens, well, you , lose again; if the tax collector fails suspecting Oregon electorate. to do his part, you lose a third time River Glacier.
