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.
Statement showing- the increase in the
amount of state taxes apportioned to each
county if the interest and retirement of
state highway bonds were required to be
.levied directly upon property, based on
1027 apportionment;

PIERCE WANTS TARIFF ON'WOOL.
Enterprise Record Chieftain,
"I'm a sheep man now and I want
a tariff on wool, said Walter M
Pierce, former governor of Oregon;
and democratic party leader, when he
was in Enterprise laatt week, he rs
raises hogs and bought a carload of
feeders for his farm near La Grande.
"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.

Fine Arts Press Will -s
Print Book of Poems
.University of Oregon, Eugene., Oct.
25. "Joaquin, et al," the first pub
lished volume -of poems by Joaquin
Miller, has been selected as the work
of the advanced class in printing at
the University of Oregon.. Under the
direction of Dr. John Henry Nash,
noted printer of San Francisco, who
is a member of the faculty of the
school of journalism, and Robert C.
Hall, superintendent, of .ihe Univer
sity press, the students will set up
type by hand, and print the book.
The selection of the volume was
rfiade by E. E. Brodie, Oregon City,
Dr. N'aoh, R. W. Sawyer, Bend, and
Earl Brownlee, Forest Grove. These
men constitute the committee that
has charge of the work made possi
ble by donations, subscribed by lead
ing newspapermen of the state.
The book, which contains many of
the noted poet's best Workat is now
very rare, and a copy was finally
iound here in the library of George
Melvin Miller, brother of Joaquin
Miller. It is a small, beautifully
bound and printed book, and is dedi
cated to Mr. Miller's parents. It was
oet up and printed by Carter and
Himes of Portland in 1869. George
H. Himes, now curator of the Btate
historical museum, is still living.
The volume is the second to be
turned out by the advanced class.
Last) year "Education and the State"
by the late President Prince L. Camp
bell was the selection. Only a few
copies are printed to be distributed
to the donors of the tine arts print
ing fund and to Iraintant libraries.
COAL VEIN OPENED.
The Dalles Optimist.
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. "
