It la lunny how women will do 1
and how often they will show
their contrariness. In a store
down town a few days ago an
article was marked "old," and
every woman that came In the
store wanted to buy that article
and no other. Even a higher
price was offered for It when
others similar were In the stock
at a much lower figure. We
ascertained from the proprietor
afterwards that It was a dodge of
hla own. (50 Trs. Ago Column.)

This doea not seem fair, and la like
announcing that the current Chinese
tong war imminent In Portland, Is
raging In The Dallas. The alaylng
In question occurred In Josephine
county, and the slayers are detained
at Grants Pass, and It happened that
the victim was a Medford resident.
All the thunder of unfavorable pub

la hoped that upstate doea not fall
Into the quaint habit of referring to
every crime committed south of Ore
gon City, as "another southern Ore

It sure Is aggravating to get up
at a am. to have a dentist pull a

why the owner of the offending tooth

After more than two months of
dally contacts with lawyers, your
corr. has finally become fully cognls
ant of some of their cleverest and
hardest-worked tricks. They beat any
of the feata of magic exposed In the
Camel cigarette ads. A lswyer will
ask a witness a question, first mak
ing It long-winded and Involved with
double meanings, and mull It around
In hla brain until neither the lawyer
nor the wltnesa understands the
question. When the lawyer finally
throws the brakea on the query, the
witness will be momentarily daeed
and get a ecoldlng for not answering
a question the lawyer cannot answer
nlmself. The lawyer will then affirm
that the question Is plain and simple
and the occupant of the witness
chslr should have no trouble In an
awerlng It. About this time the
lawyer will withdraw the question on
the grounds that It concerns the
misappropriation of a Ford last Octo

Recommendations
TIIE Mail Tribune, as usual before a Btate election, herewith
presents recommendations to its reader, regarding the
various measures to b voted on, Friday, July 21at:
SOO-801: AM AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES Purpose: To Instruct the delegatea to th
constitutional convention aa to whether the electors of the
respective counties of the state of Oregon desire the amendment
of the constitution of the United States by tba adoption of the '
proposed article of amendment.
The main point about this measure is to UNDERSTAND
what it means. Briefly a "yes" vote means you favor repeal
of national prohibition; a "no" vote you oppose it The Mail
Tribune believes the 18th amendment should be repealed, so a
better, more constructive, and more practical solution of the
liquor problem, may be obtained. A "yes" vote so instmctfc
the members of the forthcoming convention.
Vote 300 Yes.
803-303: SOLDIERS AND BAILORS BONUS AMENDMENT
Purpose: To provide that no cash bonuses shall be paid by the
state after the adoption of this amendment; and that no bonus
loans ahall be made by the state after June 30th. 1B38; author
izing the lasuranca of refunding bonds to refund bond issued
to provide funds from which to pay bonuses and make loans,
tha total of such original and refunding bonds outstanding at
any time not to exceed the constitutional limitation now exlat-
In.
This measure if passed, will

up of the entire state war bonus situation, and placing same
on a business basis. The affairs of the commission are now in
a deplorable state far worse than is generally known. Under
present financial conditions the
to continue cash and loan payments, indefinitely, which the
defeat of this bill would mean. No deserving war veterans
should Buffer, through the enactment of this corrective measure.
. Vote 302, yes.
SOa-305.: COUNTY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Purpose: To authorize adoption by the legal voters of any coun
ty of such county manager form of government aa may be
hereafter provided by general law. ,
This is merely an enabling act. It doesn't change the form
of government in any county, it merely ALLOWS, the voters of
each county to adopt such a system as may be hereafter provid
ed by general law. We can see no harm in allowing such a
privilege, nor do we see any good reason why counties in the
state WISHING to adopt a commission form of government
should be prevented from doing so. The matter of radically
cbangiug tbo form of county government, would be left to the
people of each county concerned.
Vote 304 Yes.
306-307: PROSECUTION BY INFORMATION AND GRAND
JURY MODIFICATION AMENDMENT Purpose: To amend sec
tion 18 of original article VII of the Oregon constitution to
authorize the legislature to provide that public offensea hereto
fore required to be prosecuted by Indictment may be prose
cuted by Information, filed by the district attorney, substanti
ally In the form provided by law for Indictments and the same
procedure thereafter to be followed; also to authorize the legis
lates to modify the grand Jury system.
Much may be said for and against this measure. But assum
ing HONESTY of the district
it would if adopted, speed up trials, DECREASE EXPENSE
OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTION; and while not abolishing the
grand jury system, tend to improve its administration. Our
advice is
Vote 306 Yes.
808-309: DEBT AND TAXATION LIMITATIONS FOR MU
NICIPAL CORPORATIONS Purpose: To require the approval of
two-thlrda of all electora voting thereon at elections In munlcl-
pal corporations and civil subdivisions to authorize Issuance of
bonda except refunding bonds, and those heretofore not requir
ing a vote of the electora; and providing that legislative acta
ahall restrict the powers of such corporatldns and aubdlvtslona
as to tax&tton and Indebtedness. . .
This would amend the state constitution .to fit into a de
pression and financial crisis already passing. Once in, it would
be hard to get out. Had such a provision been in effect in the
past, we would never have secured our wonderful city witer
system, irrigation, or paved streets for securing a two-thirds
vote, with only tax payers allowed to vote, would simply be
impossible. Majority rule forms the very cornerstone of a free,
orderly government. This measure would abolish majority rule,
and make it impossible for this community for example to
secure a needed public improvement, which a majority of those
having to pay the bill would approve. Unwise and un-American.
Vote 309 No.
810-811: STATS POWER FUND BONDS Shall the general '
obligation 8 per cent bonda of the atate of Oregon be lasued
and sold in the total aum of $103,779.45, which equals one one
hundreth of 1 per cent of the total aesessed valuation of pro
perty In the state, for the purpose of providing money for the
state power fund?
Whether one believes or doesn't believe, in the state entering
the light and power business, we
DO, would favor increasing the state's bonded debt AT THIS
TDIE. Bond interest now forms an overwhelming percentage
of the general tax burden. We bold no brief for the power
companies we regard their present rates as far too high. But
we are convinced going into the power business now, and in
creasing the bonded debt is not the way to lower them. The
way to lower them is through the state public service commis
sioner, who has the matter now under consideration. Voting
these bonds would also give jobs to publio ownership agitanrs.
Vote 311 No.
813-818: STATE SALES TAX.
This measure has been so frequently treated In this column
in detail, that our emphatic endorsement of it as the only
practical way out of the present tax mess, and the only way to
reduce the tax burden on real and personal property should
suffice at this time. As a final appeal we again ask the people
to study the bill FOR THEMSELVES before they follow
the political and self interested ballyhoo against it, and vote
it down. The measure is a real test of the people's capacity
to brush aside unadulterated whang-doodlo and discern the
truth, perceive clearly what is to their own self-interest.
Vote 312 Yes.
814-318: RETEAL OF PROHIBITION AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION OF OREOON Purpose: To repeal the prohlbl
tton amendment to the constitution of Oregon, being sections
88 and 3a of article I thereof.
In the last election the Mail Tribune opposed the repeal of
the prohibition ENABLING ACT, because it felt the enabling
act should not bo repealed until state prohibition had been
repealed. We stnted at the time that if the repeal of stiite
prohibition had been the issue, we would have been for it.

don't believe even those who
Well this time state prohibition IS the issue. We favor state
repeal for the same reasons we favor federal repeal. Under
the circumstance a vote for this measure merely means removing
a statute which because of the result of the last election is a
dead letter anyway.
Vote 314 Yes.
818-817: OLEOMARGARINE TAX BILL purpose: To levy an
excise tax of 4 cents per pound on the sale of aU oleomargarine
sold In the state of Oregon, except for exportation, the proceeds
to be apportioned to the several counties in proportion to their
respective population, to be used for Indigent relief only; also
to require every person, firm and corporation who ahall dis
tribute, aeU, or offer for aale oleomargarine In the state of
Oregon, to pay an annual license fee of 33.00 and secure a
permit therefor.
The Mail Tribune opposed a similar measure when it was
on the ballot at the last election, and it was overwhelmingly
defeated. Here it is again. All in all it has been defeated by
the people of the state three times. We are neither in favor of
such abuse of the initiative, nor are we in favor of placing a
food tax upon people who can't afford to buy butter and for
that reason alone, buy oleomargarine. The t8X obviously would
fall upon poor people those least able to pay, and at a time
when the most stringent economy is necessary for them to keep
body and soul together. We regard the measure as wrong in
principle and of no practical benefit in times like these to the
dairy industry.
Vote 317 No.
318-819: GRANGE POWER BILL Purpose: To provide for the
state to acquire and develop water power and hydro-electrlo
energy.
This measure has been stricken from the ballot by court
order, so no recommendation is

JUVENILE HYPOTHYROIDISM.
Th substance which the thyroid
gland secretes into blood Is the nat
ural apark of life. When the gland
furnishes an ex
cess of this In
ternal secretion
or hormone the I
entire body is
overetlmu 1 a t e d
and all functions
go on at exces
sive speed; that
la called hyper
thyroidism and
It occurs typ
ically In the
state known as
ophthalmic
goitre. When the thyroid function
Is Insufficient all the life processes
slow down; this la hypothyroidism,
and when It Is extreme the condi
tion Is known aa crentlnlsm If it
happens In Infancy or myxedema If
It develops In adult life. 1
Moderate hypothyroidism la quite
common In the early 'teens, particu
larly In alrls. . As a rule there is a
moderate enlargement of the thyroid
gland associated with the hypothy
roidism but the swelling or fullness
In the neck Just above the breast
bone may not be noticed by the ord
inary observer.
It Is pretty well established now
that this Juvenile hypothyroidism and
the simple goitre associated with it
are both due to lodln deficiency in
food, drink or medicine. It Is pre
ventive and curable by an adequate
lodln ration.
Among the symptoms which sug
gest hypothyroidism sre apathy,
sleeplneos, waxy pallor, anemia, cold
ness when normal persons are warm
enough, forget fulness, nasal voice,
constipation, weakness of knees,
snapping of Joints, pronated or sta
tic flat foot. Olrls with hypothy
roidism are likely to have difficult
or scanty menses, or the function
may be absent for months at a tune.
Tinnitus (hearing odd noises In
the ears) la a common complaint of
patients with hypothyroidism.
i The apathy amounts to melan
cholta In some cases, but as a rule

There la a tendency for the eye
brows to fall out. especially at their
outer ends.
Any fish, crustacean or edible plant
that comes from the sea Is a good
source of lodln for the body. Fresh
sea food Is best, of course, but can
ned salmon, shrimp, whale, lobster,
and oyster all retain their lodln or
good proportion of It.
Vegetables and fruits grown In low
valleys are likely to contain more
lodln than the produce of mountain
ous sections. Likewise the drinking
water In some regions hae little or
no lodln, while In other places it
contains an appreciable amount of
lodln, and It baa been found that
the prevalence of endemic goitre Is
greatest In places where the drink
ing water contains the least lodln.
Vegetables grown In South Carolina
have been found rich In lodln. For
Instance South Carolina carrots con
tain twenty times as much as Cali
fornia carrots and 86 times aa much
as Oregon carrots.
I recommend the universal use of
Iodized salt for cooking and for the
table, in place of plain salt, but I
do not. think that la enough lodln
for the body's needs. I do not ad
vise the uw of any tablet or any
fancy lodln compound. But I am
glad to send instructions for taking
a suitable lodln Ration to any cor

A Concise Editorial
To the Editor:
Your editorial 'Of a day or so ago
on the "Sales Tax and the Former"
Is one of the most concise, under
standable Items explaining the sales
tax that has ever been written.
If the "sales tax1 Is defeated It
will be because people do not under
stand it. and a defeat will be noth
ing more or less than "cutting off
one's rose to spite his face."
If this Item you wrote as an edl
orlal the other day could be. broad
cast throughout the state, there Is no
question but what the "sales tax"
would carry by a big majority. Some
determined effort should by some
means be put forth to accomplish i
this. How anyone can keep from j
boosting for the "sales tax" Is hard
to understand.
By R'i means try to get your edl
torlsl broadcast throughout the state
before voting time.
Yours truly,
