There Ih nothing that Oregon
und Orcgiinluns HKti to fight about
au steadily untl energetically uh
tuxvii. It Iiuh been tlmt wuy ulwuyn.
Jt Ih the chluf reamin why the
IcKiHlature ulwayH cuuhch iihIdh In
the lunilmr rcKfnnK, unil all ulhcr
IIIh cured heat with one (1) bottle
of tho current patent medicine.
There haw been more heavy thlnk
Iiik .u bout taxation, with lens re
Hiiltn, than any oilier Itwuo. re
Kon would Hhuulder nrnis (inirker,
to reduce taxeH than to uphold
inohlbltlon, and taxes havo alwayB
been reduced like prohibition haw
been enforced. We note that the
present and esteemed leglHtature In
K roomed to wrestle, cateh-nH-catch-can.
with the taxeH. They
will acquit theniHelveM, as every
leplfilature Hlnce 1S54 Iium done.
The Htate sons nhuuld start: ".My
taxeH 'tis of thee." 1 f0 tried and
true friendH of the writer, refuse
to get mad about unythhiK but
taxes. They have never been really
aiiRry at tho ex-Kaiser, A! Capone.
I'reMldent Jloover, or theuiHelves.
Had to tell, they become whirling
dervishes, at the mention of taxes.
. The present plan for a tax pro-Ki-ani
can be . classified as Hteni
wlndlntf and flabberKimtint;, and is
HUbllme In Its simplicity. Uricfly,
the proposal is:
(A) Kllmlnuto all taxes on pro
perty. (It) Inurease the lncomo tax,
the excise tax, revive thu liitiiMK
ible tax, and
(O) Tax tobacco and luxuries.
This will tho lncomo loss be
made up.
Take proposition (A):
Tho farmers have been looking
for this heavenly condition since
I
they first got mad at tho I'ortland
bankers.
ItcuardlnK proposition (B) :
Tho way to lower taxes Is to
abolish one lax, and forthwith
rreate three more. Thai's lonleuJ,
HciiKihlc, and plausible, not to say
I'caHonable.
Anent proposition (C):
Tho tax on tobacco and luxuries
would - not amount to a tinker's i
whoop- Nevertheless, before the
tax went Into effect, nil tho per
fume useri, and !M1 per cent of tho
tobacco utters, would be buying
their cigarettes nnd plug cut by
mall from cities in states that had
no tobacco tax.
Outside of, scaring capital away
from Oregon, there are no defects
In the proposed tax program. It
rctiulrcd two ( 1!) years (count
'em) of concentrated study and
mental effort to evolve tho tax
program, and many tiro aghast to
know that they ditl 11 In that short
space of time.
Tho legislature, will pass the
aforementioned tax measures, and
when tho state supremo court gets
around to It, tttey will deelttro it
unconstitutional, and the samo old
weeping, walling, and gnashing
,wlll have to be done all over again
two- years hence.
The way to cure the tax hulla
baloo and disgust, Is to apply a
head tax of, say, $f on every nblc
( bodied voter, whether he linn
strength or not to get to the polls.
. This will net more than they get
now, and have a surplus left over,
;Any citizen unable to scare up $-T
is nun gratis, to say the least.
, Of courHo, some would kick be
cause they had to ptingle up the
same sum as a millionaire, it Is
just us feasible a thing to throw
a fit of agony about, as anything
you can think of, and Just so
many agony fits will be thrown,
taxes or no taxes.
There Is Just one defect with a
head tax, forsooth, two defects:
Kveryhmiy could pay It without
a financial strain, and It Is too
sensible for any consideration
whatsoever at the hands and bends
of tho elder statesmen and the
lawgivers.

Ooiniiij,' to Phoenix mid to a ho
tel lilte this is no way to sec
Arizona. However, considera
tions of health and the neces
sity of beinn near 11 doctor,
made any other flan this year
impossible. When we next visit
Arizona we will do so iu a ear,
preferably one of those new
models that can be folded into
a comfortable berth a la .Mr.
I'nllman. Then we will voyage
out into the desert with water
and food aboard, a '.'Mil and
fishing tackle and enjoy Ari
zona as it should be enjoyed.
For outside of the cities Ari
zona is very much as a was half
a century ano, the real eov-orcd-waf-'on
West the winter
climate is as near perfect as
winter climate in this country
can be and such an exclusion
would not only he (rood, for the
health, hut -;i vc any civilized
person of romantic tempera
ment a tremendous kick.
This viewpoint results from n
motor tlrp Into tlio ilcsei t north of
Phoenix, for enough awiiy to lose
liny evidence of modern civiliza
tion, in u different world, u rill
ins i. en of mind, dotted with Iiiikc
cacti, hare "cardhoiird" inountuinH
la thu dislance hIiiiUIiik (ill the
horizon like Htne drops, u Kor
kcoiih sunset followed by moon
light, that briiiKs u new magic
world and a peace and ouict that
liteially pa'nscth understanding. In
such un atmosphere worries and
doulilH and fears, that haunt one
in any modern civilization, vanish
like dew before the inorninK sun.
one feels at peace, In harmony with
elemental things, self sufficient,
content just to be alive, look Into
the starry heavens, and let the
world far away in Its madness go
rushing by.
The medical profession is a won
derful profession: modern doctors
do marvelous things, contribute
materially to tho prolongation nnd
happiness of life, but we have a
hunch that when all is said ami
done N'ataro remains tho supreme
doctor. At any rate, to any ail-
lug person who could afford such
an excursion (for sad to say trip
ping does cost money) we would
certainly prescribe such a trip to
tho Arizona desert, with conven
tional sight seeing hack to Nature,
and wo would wager a $10 gold
piece to a plugged nickel Hint
ainaziug benefits would result, if
not an absolute cure. And inci
dentally, such u vacation would bo
greut sport.
A "I'nllman motor car" would be
the perfet medium of travel. l'"or
except in I ho mountains a car can
go anywlicro across the stato of
Arizona. Sleeping In a ear would
havo distinct advantages over
camping out. For there are snakes
and scorpions wo saw one,uf tho
latter yesterday but It was ill u
holtlo fortunately and (Jila mon

tracted at night by the heat of the
human body, and none of them

little fnrlhct' north there aro lakes
and trout streams, and wo are in
formed the only wild rouming herd
of buri'ulo In tho United Stutes. In
dians too, thousands of them, and
fascluatlng ruins of tho early cult
dwellers.
We saw one of the latter on a
trip to the north, and now have a
great desire to see more. One is
not surprised that the primitive
Americana with all the cuuulry to
ehoosu from should have selected
this part of North America for
their permanent abode. Tho cli
mate, we repeat, is as near perfect

SO THIS IS NEWS
Onc'5 upon a time universitius
and doctors relied upon the ex
cellence of their service to InsQro
the patronage ol
the public. Now
they Issue bulle
tins. A recent sklll
fully prepared
bulletin from a
university expat
iated the mod
ern conception ajT
tho conservation
of tho teeth. Thin
.u have endeavored to teach,
Is that, the soundness of the teeth
Is a (tie.stion, not of . so-called
mouth or dental hygiene, but of
nutrition. Here I must smirk at
dentists who ow'o their education
to the brush ami nostrum busi
ness. These are the agents that
promote the vulgar notion that,
hygiene Is a hlfalutln word for
loud and showy cleanliness, sur
face polish, Iu fact snobbishness.
1 have a large collection of let
ters from such dentists and if 1
were to ;rint n few selections from
them you'd be amused.
The bulletin did not make it
clear that this modern conception
of dental hygiene has been work
ed out by real authorities. In
stead It played up the name of a
dentist who holds a teaching post-,
lion in the university and ex
pounded the whole thing its his
theory. The dentist who readily
ple.yed the role of wizard in the
comic opera bulletin was shrewd
enough to acknowledge nutrition
the dominant factor, but yet skill
ful enough to Include an explana
tion of the buffer action or min
erat salts In the blood and tissues
which protects the tooth struc
ture from the solvent net Ion of
acids which form or accumulate
in a state of acidosis.
The dentist's explanation of all
this was as hasty ami complicat
ed as Is the usual attempt of a
dentist to deal with a medical
problem. Kven a professional
student Is confused hy the pro
fessor's Involved reasoning. The

Hometlijhig to keep down that acid.
In publishing the bulletin one
editor facetiously remarked that
it .would come as welcome nowe
to little Willie.
Oh, yeah? I d say if-if to that
if it is news and If little Willie's

paper. From the letters I infer
that little Willie gives this col
umn the o.o. for himself occas
ionally, and so when Pa or .Mu
pesters him about brushing his
teeth ,he has a perfectly good ex
cuse, for he can refer 'em all to
Ole Due Hrady, who is always
happy to assure anxious mothers,
fond aunts or ambitious fathers
that so far as sound teeth arc
concerned it doesn't matter one
Jot or tittle whether a follow ever
brushes 'em or not. Cleaning the
teeth Is something only a donlist
or deiita I hygienist can do any
way. Daily brushing Is merely an
esthetic practice and has nothing
to do with hygiene, health or the
conservation of the teeth.
If anybody' asks what about
these great university authorities
. . . just remember the fable of
the fourteen thousand doctors
who, for a complimentary smoke,
chorused "Yes, Yes" when the to
bacco man asked whether the
Ninoke soothed tho larynx. It doc

OHANDRVrilEK'S STANDARDS
(By Alice Judon Pealo)
In a certain home where
the
grandfather, a gentleman of strong
! convictions and dominating per
' Humility, disapproves of dancing,
! the children Hurropilliously turn
on the phonograph und dance
when they know that he Is out
of earshot. ; They keep
sharp l
lookout und should he upturn, they '
elaborately pretend to have been
doing nothing in particular.
Their mother is much distressed,
feeling that her children are prac
ticing deceitfulness. She herself;
however, docs not in the least dis
approve of dancing, nnd does not
feel that she can sincerely . ask
them to stop.
It not infrequently happens that
such clashes arise when the oldest
generation lives under the sume
roof with the rising one. Under
such circumstances, it helps if the
children understand exactly ; what
is their mother's attitude.
In the situation mentioned, the
mother can tell her children that
she has no objection to thoir danc
ing and that they, therefore, have
her free permission to do so.
At tho same-time she can ex
plain that grandfuther's ideas belong-
to a different time, and that
although she dues not expect thorn
to submit themselves to tho stand
ards of a bygone day,, she does,
ou the other hand, expect them
to be considerate.
If, for Instance, grandfather lias
come to sit for a while in the liv
ing room, they can surely findJ
some umuseinem uuier uiuii uuuu
lug. liut If grandfather should
walk in on them unexpectedly
when they are dancing, she does
not expect them immediately to
stop.
The question Is not one of right
or wrong hut of decent conslder-
