He emphasized the fact, that tbanki to luch a coalition at the last gegsion, the anti-strike legislation waa defeated. If a labor organization he added, "could be destroyed by legislative act," then other organizations (i.e.: the grange) "which fought big business", could also be destroyed. . ' This appeal to grange loyalty and self interest was enough. There were a few murmurs of opposition from Hood River, where the anti-strike legislation originated, but when put to a vote, the resolution passed overwhelmingly. . So where the issue can be reduced to the time-honored con flict between the so-called vested interests and the "vestless proletariat",, the latter always numerically greater, is bound to win. THEREFORE in spite of Peter Zimmerman s recent desertion of the farm-labor coalition, and his affiliation with a farm organization to protect agriculture against the' encroachment! of organized labor, there is little doubt, that this farm-labor amalgamation, renewed at The Dalles, will continue to be an effective political force in this state, for two years at least. BUT, if the advance of organized labor, stimulated by the feverish competition between the A. F. L. and the -C. I. 0. continues, at its present reckless pace, sooner or later the worm will turn. For fundamentally the vital interests of the farm and labor blocs are conflicting, and there is no way of making them otherwise. LABOR demands higher and higher wages; shorter and shorter hours. The more this drive succeeds, the higher prices will rise, and the greater the cost of living. The farmer will therefore find himself between two fires. He will have to pay more and more for what he buys; because of the organization of farm help, he will be able to get less and less for what he sells, because of his increased overhead,--the greater expense of production, due' to rising labor coats. And the stronger the labor movement bccomes.'the greater this burden on agriculture will be. SO eventually the labor bloc and the farm bloc will split on the rock of conflicting iuterests. This, has been true in all other countries. There is no reason to expect the United States will be an exception. Even in Russia, under a ruthless dictator ship, no satisfactory working agreement, between the peasant on the land, and the industrial workers in the cities, has been attained except by liquidating the kulack, and driving the agrarian forces into collectivism by force. In other words self-interest is the only permanent binding element in ANT political movement. , As long, as labor and agriculture, share a common fear of what Ray Gill terms "big business" they can unite against it. But when .that danger becomes less menacing, than the danger of a ruthless labor dictatorship which will threaten the welfare and stability of agriculture, as well aa , industry,-it wili take a greater general than Mr. dill, to prevent the farmers from doing a "Peter Zimmerman", and deserting labor,, to form an anti-labor organization for their own protection. AT least that is the writing on the wall, as we see it. The more powerful and demanding organized labor in this country becomes, the more certain it will be to ultimately meet defeat. And a farmers' revolt against labor domination, will start it. A Dangerous Expedient THE most serious throat to balanced state and county budgets of the immediate future is contained in the revived proposal to initiate a constitutional amendment limiting the tax to be levied against any residential property with an assessed valu ation of $2500 or less to $10. This proposed amendment would also restore the old system of placing household furnishings on the personal tax rolls with an exemption of $1000. At first glance the plan has a popular appeal to the thou sands of small home owners of the state. But. more serious consideration of its provisions and apparent results dulls the glitter of the scheme. To the home owner who will take the trouble to iuventory his household furnishings the insignificance of the suggested $1000 exemption, as compared to the total taxable value of his goods, will become immediately apparent. TPUE effect of such a limitation upon property tat levies for state purposes would likely be negligible, because early elimination of such a levy is already in prospect as income tax collections mount. But the result to county .and municipal finances, which are derived chiefly from property taxes, would be ruinous. . . Without some substitute source of revenue, the adoption of such h plan would spell bankruptcy to practically every municipal taxing unit and school district in the state. Figures compiled by the state tax commission last year reveal that there are 5-0,073 separate ownerships of real pro perty parcels in Oregon and that the average assessed valuation per parcel including the huge valuations assensed to railroad and utility propesties is only $1773. Obviously the big bulk of individual property units in the state arc valued at less than $'2r.OO and would, therefore, fall Today the average tax paid i considerably more than $10 such a revenue deficit as would limitation would be a real one.

Personal Health Service By William 8 If net Iftteri pertaining to perform) health and hygiene, not to disrate diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a itamped self addraied envelope la enclosed.

It has been evident that notwithstanding the decrease In th Infectious d I s eaes( , such . as tuberculosis, ty phoid fever, diphtheria and other prevent able diseases which formerly took heavy toll, there has be-n do apparent de crease, per haps an actual in crease In preva lence of certain generative diseas es in the post few decades. The de generative diseases which seem to be on the Increase are arteriosclerosis, myocarditis (slow failure of heart muscle), chronic nephritis" (Brl grits disease) , angina pectoris coronary thrombosis, apoplexy these are the various manifestations of cardlorvas- cular degeratlon diabetes, obesity, chronic nutritional or metabolic or atrophic arthritis, and cancer. Cancer Is Included In the list tt degenerative diseases, not becauxa we know cancer la of that nature, but only because cancer seems to be on the Increase or ac any rate It la not apparently decreasing In frequency, and as yet no cause has been deter mined. Dr. Weston A. Price, whose studio In the flelri of oral pathology and den tal hygiene are well known to all dentors expressed the opinion, In a recent address before the American Association of Physical Anthropolo gists, that the primitive races lose their natural immunity to tooth do- l cay and to associated degenerations as they adopt modern foods, includ ing white flour. As races or people change from na tural foods to refined foods. Dr. Price has observed, they undergo physical degeneration, that Is. deterioration or a retrogressive pathological change In cells and tissues In consequence of which the functions of cells and tis sues or organs are impaired or Ion and the living substance Is converted into an Inert mass.. This degeneration Is evidenced In the development of facial deformities, crooked teeth, ab normally narrow nostrils with Inade quate nasal openings for breathing purposes, tooth decay, tonsil and ade noid hy per th ropy or enlargement and obstruction of the nose that common ly goes with adenoid outgrowth. Dr Price's study has led him to conclude that diet along the lines of the diet of primitive races not only prevents tooth decay but checks it when it his already developed.

Prophylaxis Public school authorities here urge ( 1 ) inoculation against dlphtherii. and (2) vaccination against smallpox Our daughter, aged 5, la about to en ter school. I understand there are two sides to this question. (R.V.A.) Answer That many sides to every question, otherwise there would be no question. My advise is that yo'i have the child Immunized against diphtheria when she la a year old, certainly before she Is old enough to go to school. Likewise I think every child should be vaccinated against smallpox before the end of the first year or certainly before school ago. And I think I've heard all the real and hypothetical dangers of untoward effects of these prophylactic meas ures. Asleep At the .Wheel I am a chauffeur, often driving long distances, day and night, and I'm afrrald I'll crack up because I often find it hard to stay awake at the wheel. (T.O.) Answer On a long drive when you are very sleepy try pulling up some where well off the road and taking a short nap. In half an hour you will be refreshed and can drive on we'1 awake. If you must keep going, the least harmful means of keeping awake Is by taking a cup or two of coftVe. or a tablet of the alkaloid In coffee caffeine citrate, say two grains. Copyright 1937, John P.
