Mention wu made last week of the
aerious illnem at Eugene of Dr. Nor
ton Winnard, on of Dr. and Mr. N.
E. Winnard, formerly of Heppner. In
h letter received on Friday from Dr.
Winnard, he statei that Norton is
suffering from an attack of typhoid
and not from blood poisoning as was
at first feared. While he is very sick,
it is thought that his chances for re
covery are good. He had but recently
returned home from Harvard, where
he finished the medical course and
"graduated with honor, and Dr. Win
iard feels that credit is due to some
degree to Norton's start at Heppner,
where he attended the grade school
and graduated from our high school.
The many friends of the family at
Heppner sincerely hope for Norton's
speedy recovery.

Ten Dont's For Bathers.
(State Board of Health)
Don't go in where there is no life
guard. Don't go beyond your depth; the
best swimmers get cramps.
Don't go bathing less than two
hours after eating.
Don't go in alone.
Don't yell ' Help!" unfess you need
it.
Don't drink liquor and then so
bathing.
Don't swim with waterwings or in
nertubes for they are treacherous.
Don't forget you are endowed with
common sense. Use it. ,
These are rules that have been
r.dopted by bathing beaches for the
protection of the public. Last year
101 deaths from accidental drowning
occurred in this state. More people
died of drowning than from railroad
and street car accidents combined.
The number is exceeded among acci
dental deaths only by those from au
tomobiles and from falls. Tragic oc
currences seem to repeat themselves
on about the same line. Perhaps the
largest number of drownings are of
oung children. Then, we have the
deaths of the strong swimmers who
go into dangerous waters and are
swept away or become exhausted or
are forced under by the waves and
from the undertow. It is often the
strong, confident . swimmer, who
plunges into the water and does not
come up. These deaths are lightly
attributed to shock, some form of
heart disease, or muscular cramps due
to disturbed blood circulation: A
number of deaths, also, occur from
accidents in the water, such as becom
ing entangled in water grass, weeds,
or injuries by diving into shallow
water.
Knowing how to swim may at some
time prove of very practical use to
you. Not only in protecting your
self, but in saving others. Swimming
is also one of the very best forms of
exercise and it is essential that this
sport be made as safe as possible.

FATE OF 18 BILLS
INVOTERS'HIDS
Four Initiative measures will be
voted on this fall. Five others were
proposed but failed to get the requir
ed number of signatures to get a
place on the ballot. Of the four
measures assured a place on the bal
lot, two are income tax bills. One
!s sponsored by the state grange and
the farmers' union, the other by the
public service league. Both provide
for a state income tax on the grad
uated scale to be paid on incomes
with exemptions for married persons
end dependents. Both bills are said
to be identical, with the exception
that the public service league mea
sure provides for a property tax off
set against the income tax, a feature
which is not contained in the grange
bill.
A third initiation measure backed
by the grange, state federation of
labor and state fish commission pro
poses the regulation of fishing in the
Columbia Tiver. This measure would
prohibit the use of fish traps in the
river and would bar fish wheels from
the river east of Cascade Locks.
The fourth measure which is to ap
pear on the ballot by reason of the
initiative is the bus and truck bill
sponsored by the Oregon Motor Stage
association. This would increase li
cense fees paid by motor stage and
trucks operating over Oregon's high
ways and is said to be a substitute
for house bill 413 of the last legisla
ture, which is under attack through
the referendum in the forthcoming
election.
The five proposed initiative meas
ures which have failed to find a place
on the ballot for one reason or an
other include the measure repealing
the automobile certificate of title law
ponsored by the Oregon automotive
conference; the old age jiensior. meas
ure backed by the old age pension
league, including the water power bill
ponsored Ly the state grange and
affiliated organizations; the anti-capi
tal punishment bill backed by Ben
Selling and a number of other Port
land citizens, and Eric Nyquist's fish
bill providing for the regulation of
fishing on Oregon streams.
The Oregon Voter has the follow
ing concerning the bills that will ap
pear on the ballot this fall:
"Eighteen measures, containing
over 60,000 words, are to be voted up
ei' by the people of Oregon at the
goneral election, November 2, 1926.
"Thirty-seven measures submitted
at the state election of 1912 contain
ed approximately 65,000 words. Not
since 1912, at no other election, have
the voters of Oregon been faced with
the quantity of legal verbiage upon
which they will pronounce whether
words become law or remain mere
language. In 1912, the protest against
quantity of legislation proposed was
such that 26 of the 37 measures were
defeated.
Text of the 18 measures, now pend
ing before us, will fill approximately
56 pages of closely printed matter
in the state pamphlet. Arguments
for and against will occupy from 30
to 40 pages more. The type in which
the state pamphlet is printed is so
small as to wear out the eyes, and
the legal verbiage so technical as to
exhaust the attention. The form in
which measures are printed is such
as to conceal entirely the changes in
existing law that are involved. Only
through the press of the state, and
the agitation of promoters and appo-
nents, can the voters obtain a coher
ent idea of what these measures mean,
to say nothing of what effect they
will have.
'Eleven of the eighteen mesaures
were submitted by the legislature,
few of them in form clear enough to
distinguish between the old and pro
posed changes, and two of them am
ending one section of the constitu
tion by different language. .
Three of them are legislative en
actments suspended by the filing of
referendum petitions.
Four were initiated by petition.
Following are the ballot numbers and
brief descriptive titles:

"The Voter will present the amend
atory mesaures in form that clearly
sets forth the proposed changes.
"We will present clear and simple
digests of all measures, ample dis
cussion of their probable effect, and
readable arguments for and against.
"From now until election, our prin
cipal effort will be to assist in bring
ing about as clear an understanding
of all these measures as is possible.
Their fate, and to some extent the
welfare of Oregon, rest with the 200,
000 to 300,000 men and women who
will vote upon them."
