HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 27, 1927. PAGE THREE GENERAL PftOPEE TUX BURDENSOME State Motor Association Does Not Favor $3.00 License Proposal. Should the proposed initiative pe tition calling for a decrease in the automobile license fee from the ad justed scale of fees now in existence to a flat fee of three dollars for all passenger cars be approved by the people and become law not only would the state highway program be stopped instantly, but the obligations of some thirty-four million dollars in highway binds would fall as a direct tax upon general property and would be appor tioned to each county as shown by the accompanying table, prepared by the state tax commission. The burden of highway financing as originally voted rests entirely up on the motorist so long as the pres ent system is adhered A. feut if the proposd initiative ' measure should pass the outstanding bonds both in terest and principal would become a direct obligation of the state, and general property would be compelled to take up the obligation, paying in terest and principal until all bonds are retired. This would .entail the payment by a general property tax of a total of $52,871,71.90 as shown by the accompanying table, and the last payment would not be made until 1J50. Not only would this huge sum have to be raised by general taxation but all state highway construction would btop immediately and all future work on the highway program would be abandoned. " This would mean that sections of the state who voted for the issuing of millions of dollars worth of high way bonds with the understanding that the highway program as outlined would be carried to completion, will not be given the roads promised them. Citizens of Oregon voted for the highway system and the issuance of bonds under the proposed financing plan. Bond companies and investors bought the authorized bonds after in vestigations based on the existing financial plan of license fee and gas tax, which were suid to be, and have since proved to be, a safe and eco nomic method for raising sufficient funds for paying interest and retir ing bonds. There is an obligation on the part of the citizens of this state to con tinue the existing method of financing under which investments were made until such time as the retirement of bonds has made that problem one of minor importance. There is also a direct obligation on the part of the state to see that those sections of the state where promised construction has not taken place re ceive roads due them. When these obligations have been "met or at least brought to a point of completion where readjustment would not endanger the. existing highway program, suggestions for tax reduc tion will be more opportune than at present.

"I don't know how a democrat can want a high tariff," -he said, "but" It seems to make a difference whose ox B gored, and I am not a cattle man now but a grower of sheep and hogs, After-Care of Infantile Paralysis Is Explained " From State Board of Health. In view of the recent epidemic of infantile paralysis in many parts of the state, the following timely' sug gestions ere offered for the immediate after-care of the acute cases. There are many cases which at tha nset seem hopeless, who go on under prop er supervision to astonishing improve ment, the gain extending over a per iod of some four or five years. L-ntil this maximum improvement throat h supportive treatment and careful muscle re-education has been ob tained, surgical procedures, genera'ly speaking are inadvisable. It is need less to add that all cases should be ufoder the constant supervision of a physician throughout the entiled . i course oi treatment. . - During the acute stage, the follow ing rules should be observed: - 1. Absolute rest and quiet. 2. Confinement to bed until pain and tenderness have completely left the affected muscle groups. 3. Irreparable damage may result from too early and too strenuous treatment. 4. Electrical treatment, mechanical manipulation and massage are abso lutely contra-indicated during , the stage of pain and tenderness and in fact are definitely harmful. 5. The affected muscles should be kept warm and should be supported in a position that permits no stretch ing. 6 Measures should be taken to pre vent deformaties of the hip, knee and foot. A plaster boot or other splint must be used for their prevention. Warm saline baths are usually quieting, bhould there be consider able muscle involvement .with accom panying discomfort, the nursing prob lem is best handled and contraction prevented by putting the patient in a plaster bandage, well padded from toes to armpits. During the critical perird of re habilitation the following rules should be strictly observed. 1. Fatigue of the affected parts must be avoided at all cost. 2. Weakened abdominal muscles should be supported by an abdominal belt. 3. Any tendency to curvature of the spine should be met at once with' either a buck brace or plaster corset together with appropriate exercises. 4. Before the affected parts are used, supports by light and properly fitted braces must be provided. 5. Properly graded and supervised exercises, active md- passive, togeth er with massages should be inaugur ated some three weeks after disap pearance of tenderness. 6. Electrical treatment, save possi bly the sinusoidal, are of questionable value. A Poor Job A little boy slipped into the parlor and then eyed the visitor up and down. "Well, little man," said his father's friend, "What are you looking at me for?" "Daddy said you were a self-made man and I wanted to see what you looked like." "Quite right," said the gratified guest. "But why did you make yourself like that for?" said the boy with con siderable surprise. r An aluminum Capsule, feather-light and lately attached to the bird's leg, holds the tissue "pigeongram" message carried by Sperry homing pigeons.

According to report, from the coal mine in the John Dny Valley which is being developed by local people, the main vein of coal is 25 feet thick, one of the biggest and richest ever uncovered. This word was brought to local stockholders hv Vroit H Shoemaker of Canyon City. The mine is located on the Braga homestead near Mt. Vernon. ' , P. J. Donohue, veteran mining en gineer of Salt Lake, is said to have rendered the following report on the property : "There are mines in this region, of what I believe will prove the best coal outside of Pennsylvania! The property is so situated tiiat the strike of the coal both north and south and its dips and anticlines, east and west, cover the only logical point of development. The coal there, in ev ery direction, will have to be extract ed through drilling and in my opui- ion is the greatest deposit of conl of any in the world. It will be produc tive for many years tn come, proba bly for generations. The market is ready, covering -the entire west coast and intermountain states. It is the makings of the greatest property I nave ever seen in my ft!) years exper ience.
