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

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. Evry community mu"t es
timate its own requirements and ap
propriate accordingly.

Such popularity must be deserved
BIG HITS don't just happen.
Popularity doesn't come
ready-made.
In pictures, plays or products,
nuccess must be built on some
thing REAL.
Thus Chesterfield's swift rise
to popularity was no accident.
Smokers were ready for a better
cigarette and in Chesterfield they
found it.
Taste convinced them. That's
why men are turning by thou
