800 Chicago policemen surrounded

scaped without a single policeman

The "power trust" Is In for another
lambasting at the hande or the Ore

"power trust" only pays one-third of

aroused to put them out of business,
the better.

Hunters, who under the law have
nothing to hunt at this season of the
year, have started accidentally killing
calves, which when dead and skinned
are known as veal, and fine eating.
If the accidental hunters would acci

eatable creatures, from time to time,
the skeptics would have more faith
In the sincerity of their accidents,

PIONEER OtRI, GIDDINESS
(Pendleton East Oregonlan)
It Is getting to be a very seri
ous question: Shall our girls and
boys read the Police Gazette and
such publlcatlona? A few days
ago In Pendleton we saw a girl
ten years of age perusing the
Gazette with oonslderable Inter
est. When she came to the rude
pictures of women and men In
tights she was very much affect
ed. Bhe turned the leaves over
and over as If she longed to lire
long enough to have her picture
In the paper. Two or three
months ago we sew a respectable
young woman take a Police Oa
Bette out of her pocket In
church. What will become of
our girls if we continue to have,
such publications In the family?

Two notorious bandits have been
arrested this week on farms In Okie

Hereafter, Instead of finding the

The heat continues, In spit ot the
fact that all the up and coming
faahlonable girls have been suffici
ently tanned, and all the vitamin

has lain exposed to Old Sol until Its
viscera and lumbar regions are a dull
mahogany color. A large percentage
of the feminine elbowa have started
to peel, like an alder tree, from ex
posure to the elements. This Is their
own lookout, and they will no more
stay out of the sun. thsn they will
stay In the house If there Is any
dlshwsshlng to do. But infanta are
helpless. They can do nothing but
lay In the sun. and try to unfasten a
aafety.pin. They seem to know If
they get tht tsfety.pln loose and
swallow It, they will be placed. n Um
shade.
Inefficient Government
IIOW long would any big business last, if its policies were
determined by its stockholders instead of its officers and
board of directors!
Not long. No large business could be conducted successfully
if its administrative officers had to secure the consent of the
stockholders every time s new plan was adopted, or if any
change of policy could be instituted at any time, by one stock
holder, or a group of stockholders.
The state of Oregon is a big business. And yet under the
Oregon system that is the way affairs are conducted. We have
state officers in charge of direct administration. And we have
a board of directors, which we call a legislature.
But through the initiative, referendum and recall, no impor
tant action can be taken without first securing the consent of
the stockholders the voters and at any time a complete
change of policy can be imposed by one voter, or group of
voters.
The new tax exemption bill is a case in point. According
to reports from Salem, this measure has been initiated and will
appear on the ballot at the next election. It would allow a
$1200 exemption to all owners of Oregon property who are
residenta of the state. Residents of other states who own pro
perty here would be assessed the full amount.
A fool bill if there ever was one. Less than half the taxes
are being paid now. What will be paid with an added $1200
exemption 1
Yet in all likelihood the measure will pass. It sounds good,
and anything that sounds good will get by at the polls.
In other words our entire system of taxation may be changed
over the protests of every competent state official, and against
the judgment of every citizen informed on tax problems, be
cause some voter conceived another bright idea, and as usual
found no difficulty in getting a sufficient number of other
voters to subscribe to it.
The entire system is all wrong, as well as absurd. The
initiative, referendum and recall are perfectly sound measures
of legislation when properly used, but as at present regulated
they are not properly used. At least not in this instance, and
many others. .
They should be used only as protective measures, only
when representative government breaks down, not whenever
the whim may strike any group of voters.
In other words when there is a strong demand for certain
legislation and the state legislature refuses to enact it, the
initiative should be used and only then. When the legislature
passes a bill which is against the will of the yoters, the refer
endum should be used, and only then. When an elected official
has been guilty of gross incompetence and flagrant irregular
ities, the recall should be employed and only then.
This end could be brought about simply by amending the
present system and requiring a great number of signatures, so
that only when there was a real public demand for such action,
the action could be taken.
Until this is done, the Oregon system so called instead of
being a step toward better government is a step toward more
inefficient and more wasteful government.

Resistance la
something to
gret the poor
chap did not
have.
An announce
ment in the of
ficial organ of
the American
Medical associa
tion of which
I'm a Jolly good
Fellow, you know,
as well as a thorn
in the flesh
warned, all our dumb docks last Feb
ruary that "the hazards of exposure,
of stuffy indoor living at thla time
of year made It especially Important
to keep general resistance built up."
The same week the following warn
ing was broadcast through the dally
papers of the country:
"Watch out for drafts, wet
feet, raw winds, stuffy rooms, of
course, but don't depend entirely
on outer precautions. Build up
your inner resources. Increase
your general resistance.
In both instance the Implication
was that all you had to do w&a take
a cod liver oil concentrate which was
provided In convenient form.
No harm In that. Nor have I any
objection to the exploitation of pop
uiar credulity by the manufacturer of
the high class nostrum. Only I do
think we snooty members or fellows
of the American Medical association
play a sorry role in the game. It
looka to me as though the big nos
trum maker first handa ua a snug
sum for permitting him to publish
his announcement In our official pa
per of course carefully edited so
it won't sound too absurd. Then he
can turn to the lay press with all the
assurance In-the world, for doea ne
not come practically bearing the In
dorsement of the entire medical pro
fession Of the country?
Here It la proper to sasert once
more and I doubt that any officer
or member of the American Medical
association will attempt to refute the
assertion that there Is no scientific
foundalon for the notion that any
one can have "general resistance"
which protects against all or against
many diseases, respiratory or other
wise. I further assert that any phy
sician who undertakes to "build up
resistance" Is merely marking time
with Impressive language.
Immunity la a well established
scientific fact.
We have some evidence for the be
lief that cod liver oil may aid in the
development of the fullest degree of
Immunity against tha crl, due to the
richness of cod liver oil in Vitamin
halibut liver oil or any other
fish liver oil. The ultraviolet rays
of sunlight or any artificial light that
contains ultraviolet rays probably
aide the normal development of Im
munity against upper respiratory In
fections and sinus infections. Be-
sides the fish liver oils. Vitamin A la
present In yolk or egg. in raw fresh
milk and cream and butter (not pas
teurized), in orange, ripe banana,
sweet potato, yellow corn, pineapple,'
yellow turnip, carrot, parsnips, liver,
kidney, sweetbreads, most of the green
leafy relishes and raw salad vege
tables.
But It Is utterly ridiculous for phy
sicians to even seem to acqulsce In
the suggestion that drafts, wet feet,
raw winds, stuffy Indoor living or
otner similar "hazards of exposure"
have anything to do with disease,
even If we do make good money by
giving the Idei our sanction.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
So You're Going to Keep the Baby?
Please advise me of some books con
cerning babies and their care. We are
a young married couple. D. S. C.
Answer Do you mean to tell me
send a dime and a stamped envelope
bearing your address and let me start
you off right with "The Brady Baby
Book." After you've conned that, it
will be safe enough to Inquire at the
public library for any of the follow
ing books:
fllemons' "Prospective Mother" (Ap-
pieion, pubiisner), Richardson's "Sim.
pllfylng Motherhood" (Putnam's, pub.
usher), Brodhead's "Approaching
Momernood" (Hoeber, publisher) ,
Griffith's "Care of the Baby" (Saun
ders, publisher). I have a special
letter of instructions for any expect
ant mother wno provides stamped en
velope Bearing ner address. Also one
on Infant feeding.
Baby Has Slight Hernia.
Baby, eight montha old, still wear
ing bands, as her navel protrudes
about half an Inch. Doctor told us
to keep her bands on, but that does
n't seem to do any good, and It Is so
hot for her to wear woolen bands
now . . . Mrs. C. L. B.
Answer The bands are useless.
Discard them. Pucker the sxln up
by pulling It together with one hand
crosswise on the belly, and apply z,
o. adhesive straps half an Inch wide
ana o inches long crosswise to re
tain the skin ' in a pucker over the
navel. Change the straps once a
week or oftener. Such a support for
several months may bring about
spontaneous cure of the hernia. .
