(The Ijuiut.) The Vofers Literacy amendment, is a matter of good public policy. Jt would disenfranchise citizens who can neither read nor write the Knglish language. Several other states in tin? country are said to have similar laws, and while there are valid objections to any legis lation that will further complicate our election machinery, we feel that the benefits of such a measure would outweigh the disadvan tages. With the exception of n few elderly people, this provision would only elimjnate the illiterate voter, or the voter whose interest and sympathies are so foreign to the United States tlia he refuses to talk or think in the language of his own country. To lose such a vote would be lo contribute to and encourage good citizenship. , The next measure would amend the constitution as if Oregon (lid not have too many constitutional amendments already, adding ' water for beneficial use or drainage" as a public, use. The measure sounds harmless on the ballot, but there is too much danger, in our judgment, of the latitude such uu amendment might allow. The meas ure should be defeated. Vote IlO.'i No. Next on the list is a state bonus for female, employees of the war department during the "World War and veterans of the Spanish War, secured by an amendment to the present soldiers' bonus statute. This is an' important piece of legislation, laudable in purpose and designed to -correct an obvious injustice, but with the present tax situation in this stale, we do not believe this is the time to increase the bonus obligation, or further complicate the administration of the present bonus. ' 'Voters who study the initiative measures, conscientiously, have undoubtedly found more difficulty in reaching a decision on the Oleo margarine Bill than any other, h'or here is a measure, concerning which much may be said, both for and against. If this bill proposed to do what, many people we fear, have thought it would do, prevent the sale of butter substitutes in this state en tirely, The Mail Tribune would be unalterably opposed to it. Hut this is not tho effect of the measure as wc understand it. The bill merely would make it illegal for the manufacturer of Oleomar garine to use milk in that manufacture. In short, vegetable oils or animal iuts iiiay still he used as butter substitutes, but they can. not be camouflaged as butter, by the use of milk. Th ero is no industry in the state and particularly in southern Oregon which needs assistance more than the dairy industry. Under the circumstances, although we arc in general opposed to any more prohibitory legislation, we favor this bill. No. 5 is entitled a "Naturopath Hill," and would create another slate commission and another opportunity for some more commis sioners to get on the public payroll. If we remember rightly a simi lar measure wis defeated by the legislature and its fate should have been settled there. Any ailing person who desires Naturopathic treatment, may secure same under present laws. This measure should bo defeated. . Last, nnd in some ways, most important of all, is tho so-called ' AVorkmen's Compulsory Compensation Law for Hazardous Occupa tions," all in all the most extraordinary piece of legislation that has ever appeared on an election ballot in this state or anywhere else. Several times The Mail Tribune has urged its readers to study this bill for themselves, realizing that, the only thing necessary for its overwhelming defeat is for the people to thoroughly understand it. We can comprehend how it person miglit prefer compulsory com pensation to the present system of voluntary compensation in this slate, but we can't comprehend how any sane person could lie for this measure which in addition would create a super-government with sole control of compensation insurance, above the courts, the legislature, and, at least between elections, above the people. Such n law would place both the employer and the worker entirely at the mercy of three men, appointed by the government. The entire prop osition from the standpoint of free government and common sense is simply preposterous. Vote 311 "No." To sum up tho initiative measure recommendations.

The typical picture is well it cortninly Is u picture thut ought not to be published here, but it is sochuractcr islic that we must ndmit the surgeons are usually right In the snap diagnosis. Once in a while the bismuth uieul and X-ray pictures fall to verify the snap diagnosis. Hero is instance: ' An offile man, aged 39. nl(iut 10 pounds under standard weight, had period!. spi lls of discomfort for a week or two nt Intervals of several months. lie said it was not pain, but a sense of distress or coldness. he snid he could hardly describe it In words in the region of the stomach. This distress usually came a few hours af ter meals, sometimes In tho middle of the night. With it there was consid erable anxiety and weakness, and he found that he could obtain relief promptly by tuklng almost uny kind of food, particularly an orange. Thru the interest of a friend to whom he mentioned his trouble lie consulted n surgeon, who followed the precepts f the lliiilsh authority and made the diagnosis of duodenal ulcer on the history. Then the surgeon sent tho patient to the rentgenologlst. who made the X-ray pictures and felt Un- surgeon, however, urged Immediate operation aspic safest and best course. The patient preferred to sleep on the proposition, i believe I should prefer to sleep on it myself, if tho trouble amounted to no more than described. In his sleep he returned to his old family doctor. Old but nt fossilized. Tho family doctor listened to tho his tory recited by the wayward patient (the Jazz age of specialism makes a lot of 'em backward) nnd, not to be outdone by the fast workers, advanced a tentiulve or snnp diagnosis of hypcr lnsullnlsin. Thut may sound like inso lence but it means over secretion of insulin by the pancreas. When an ex cess of thut Internal secretion Is pour ed or Injected Into the blood, tho amount of suifar in the blood is lower- 1 fur below the normal, und the Indiv idual suffers certain characteristic ef fects which ure quickly relieved by al most uny kind of carbohydrate food, sajr some orange Juice or candy or a sweetened beverage, or milk chocolate, or ice cream. The amount of sugar normally present in the blood is re markably eonstunt, even In a fasting Indlviduul, und a blood sugar test is reudily and accurately made by tho cllnlcul pathologist today. The nor mnl figure is about one-tenth of 1 per cent, and anything, between 0.09 und 0.12 per cent of glucose (sugar in the blood is considered within normal bounds. In this particular case, In the course of a spell of distress the blood sugar was found reduced to O.OtiS on one occasion and 0.054 on another.

Vaccination. Is vaccination compulsory? Has nny doctor the legal right to vaccin ate a person without his consent? (I. J. M.) Answer. No. No doctor has a legal right to vuccinuto or apply any other treatment against the will or without the consent of the individual treated. But of course the state .has the right to 'excludo un individual from school if the individual is not vaccinated, for tho unvucclnuted Indlviduul may be n menace to others, since he is more likely to contract and infect others with smallpox. At least this is the ar gument on which the matter Is upheld ut present. I think it would be more reasonable und Just to offer tho pro tection of vaccination to every Indiv idual without expense, nnd let those who do not desire .to nvall themselves of It go their own way we who be lieve In vaccination certainly huve nothing to feur from smullpox. If our public heullh ndniinistrution were established on logical grounds there would be no question of compulsory vuccination. Thut is really an absurd practice for a public health guardian to udvocute. Hut public health ad ministration In tho country generally is a weird combination of- bud politics. superstition, puper work and red tape, all of which tends to keep the better kind of men out of It. The tricky method by which vaccination is made practically compulsory in some com munities Is a thing the health author ities should be ashamed of 1 mean the scheme which urranges one luw to compel atteniiance at school und un other. to exclude the child that Isn't vaccinated. That's nn illustration of the unworthy methods of bail public health, administration. People who buck such legislation are too shifty to entrust with the guardianship of pub lic health.
