British Fighting Men Found Their
Health Improved Through Use of
Unbolted Wheat Meal.
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

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

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.

Could an? plan be fairer? Could
there be any better scheme to protect

Now comes Mr. Jackson and the

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.

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? The lance of this
