THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1924. PAGE THREE With Dawes as Running Mate, Good Platform, Ticket Strong. Cleveland, O., June 17, 1124. The outstanding feature of the eighteenth National Convention of the Republi can party, which hag just concluded its labors here, whb the voicing by the delegates of their faith in Calvin Coolidge. The President and his run ning mate, Chas. (I, Dawes, another striking example of sterling Ameri can manhood, go before the voters on a platform which should win for the Republican ticket the votes of many Democrats. The platform is free from political bunkum. It is an ' honest, straightforward statement of the things for which the Republican party stands. A brief summary of the platform shows that the President and his party are pledged to governmental economy; to tax reforms that will still further reduce the burden of taxation; that the strictest scrutiny will be made so that the integrity of he budget system may be preserved It declares that the Republican ad ministration slashed $200,000,000 from the cost of governement and eliminated 60,000 employees from the payrolls; that the adminintration lift ed the tux burden some $1,250,000,000 per annum, at the same time reduc ing the public debt by over $2,500,- 000,000. The platform refers to the fact that In 1920, when the Republican took office, that there were about three million men out of work in the country and that today there is little if any unemployment. The party is pledged to give to the farmer ail nec essary government assistance in or ganizing and establishing a system for the co-operative marketing of ag ricuKurai products. It promises to aid and simplify as well as the cheap ning of our marketing and distribu ting machinery. It promises depart mental help in diversified farming and, if necessary, direct financial aid during the transition peroid of div ersification. There is also a pledge to continuous and vigorous efforts to ; strengthen and broaden the export j markets. j In the matter of railroad rates, there is a declaration for a revision with a view to reduce the rates on agricultural product. Aid for good highways is urged. The new immigra tion law is endorsed. In the matter of prohibition, there is a declaration in favor of law enforcement. There is also a declaration that guilt is person and a pledge to punish ev ery individual found guilty of fraud against the government. There Is a declaration to extend every aid, financial and otherwise, to the disabled veterans of the late war. There is a provision asking that the President be given power, in time of war, to draft every citizen of the United States, so that capital, labor and, in fact, every resource of the Nation will do its part, share and share alike. This would mean elim ination of the profiteer and the slack er during the periods of national strife. The World Court plan is in dorsed, but there is a renewed an nouncement that the United States will have no participation in the League of Nations. The Republican party, through Temporary Chairman Burton, called ttention to the fact that during the Republican administration taxes have been reduced; peace restored with Germany; the suffrage amendment titied; millions of dollars have been spent on disabled soldiers; the tar iff has been revised to aa to produce more revenue and lessen taxes; that there is a lack of unemployment; that good wages obtain; that more legislation has been enacted for the benefit of the farmer than during any session of Congress for 50 years (ev en William Jennings Bryan has pub licly admitted this fact); that peace in Europe has been aided by the Dawes commission; that the Budget system, a Republican measure, In the first year of its being resulted in the reduction of $600,000,000 from the estimates submitted; that the Repub lican party does not stand for the cancellation of war debts owed to us by forign countries and for which our people paid; that a packing bill to protect the stock raisers was pass ed; that a co-operative marketing act was passed. The dominant note of the entire convention proceedings was as Mr. Burton voiced it, "the people and all of the people have confidence in Calvin Coolidge." COST OF DISEASE LARGE IN STATE From State Board of Health. It Ib desirable to recognize that from the President of the United States to the laborer in the factory or on the farm, all citizens not physically incapacitated, are, or should be, workers. The fundament al needs are responsibilities of all citizens, and as to the maintenance of health are similar, and we cannot solve the problems of the laborer un less we consider him one of the great army of gainfully employed. There are over 400,000 individuals gainfully employed in the State of Oregon. Sickness is a hazard to which all are subjected and to which many fall victims. Those who are disabled by sickness Buffer losses of time, cost of care, which varies from slight hardships easily borne, to those which absolutely ruin. There arc to-j day over 9,000 wage earners in Ore-1 gon confined to their homes on ac count of sickness. The workers lose on an average of seven dayi annual ly on account of sickness every year. At a daily minimum wage of $3 this means a loss of $8,400,000. $3,300,000 is spent annually for doctors. An equal amount is spent for nursing and hospital care. $4,000,000 is spent for drugs, mostly self-pre scribed. Forty per cent of the deaths are preventable or at least postponable. The estimated value of the average life Is $2500. In a state of this size with an annual death rate of 9,000 3,600 of these deaths are from pre ventable causes. At an average value of $2500 this would mean a tost of $22,500,000. The total annual loss from preventable disease is: Wages lost $ 8,400,000 Services of physician ... 8,300,000 Hospitals and nursing 3,300,000 Drugs of all kinds, patent. etc 4,000,000 Loss by death ....... 22,500,000 A TREAT FOR THE FAMILY The wife and kiddies will enjoy a change from the monotony of home-cooked meals, so why not suggest coming here for dinner ev ery one in awhile.

TURNER HEPPNER, OREGON $41,600,000 Disease eostt the State of Oregon over forty millions annually. As these expenditures do not consider many of the other expenses incident to illness, the expenses in reality are much greater. Sickness undoubtedly causes a tremendous loss, and to a certain extent is preventable. It cer tainly costs less to prevent disease. Public health is purchasable and within natural limits, a community and place U on sure ground. Make it a potent factor and it will pay. Snralv If we are rich enough to spend $18 per capita for tobacco, $4 for candy and confections, so ior patent medicine, tonics and drugs of questionable value. $1 for cosmetics and 75e for gum, we should be willing to spend more than lOe per capita for the most essential part of life health.
