All three states on the (toast lem, and they are all inlenr.tcil stale development. In (He solution oi nir national nanii tax problem tliey have a common starting point. AKsumin that the best solution lies in the adoption of a state ineoim; tax, then why not devote the. next few months to ward persuadinn; all three states to approve of this portion of the tax program. Certainly the most ardent advocate of such a tax will .not deny that its adoption by one stale and its repudiation by the other two would work to the serious disadvantage of the former. California has already adopted an excise tax, which closely resembles an income tax. If this is as far as California will jro, then, would it not b.etUiyor the. t ate of Oregon to also re- Iumj to o any lurther, at the present time; f Villi a uniform system of taxation, no Pacific, ('oast state wi.uld he handicapped, .as far as taxation i.s concerned.'

Tourney reports that C5 out of 2.05S scarlet fever cases treated in Cleveland clly hospital in it period of four and a half years ending AUri'UKt 1. terminated f a t a I 1 y. That wuuld bu a mor ality rate of &.1 , per cent, w hich in rather lower than the average and much lower than Ijs popularly at-! tached to scarlet 1 fever. Speaking ' of tho u HO of K- 1 rum In the treat-! indit of carli t fever mot prophy-i lactic or immunising treatment j. Dr. Tourney reminds up that scar- ! b t fever ordinarily runs an acute1 course of from two to seven days of fever, then the fever naturally comes down, about the fourth day J in the average; so that if mereuro-! chronietor a serum be Injected on the evening of the third ay, the j chances are that the fever will be j down on the following day. Al- ' though Dr. Toomey does not say ! so, this observation explains a i greatdeal that you neveo see In the' pajiers. Kven I can't tell you, and; 1 am allowed n lot of rope.
