This is a question so fre quently asked. It is difficult to answer for each individual in general terms. The height of the person has its influence on blood pressure... That wihch is now considered normal blood pres sure is less than formerly held. It is now considered a fallacy that the blood pressure should i-icx s nnint a vear. That denotes disease. For the normal adult of average size, in a state of rest, the blood pressure should be be tween 100 and 120. For a vigor ous man in a state of health, many consider it ideal between 110 and 120. but that 125 is allowable. Should the pressure creep up, gaining beyond 130, an insidious disease is indicated. However, it may not cause great trouble for five, ten, or fifteen years later... When the blood pressure starts to creeping up beyond normal, it is time to take a neaitn inventory.

STATE SCHOOL SUPPORT AlVBMENT VOTE 14-X-V BALLOT MEASURES 8 Following it an editorial from the Salem Statesman, October 17, 1944, by former Governor Charles Sprague, giving hit views on the proposed amendment. Eighth measure on the ballot is a constitutional amendment sponsored by the Oregon State Teachers' Association which would require the state to provide revenues for the operation of elementary and high schools in the state in an amount equal to 45 cents per child per day of attendance. Method of raising the money is left to the state legislature, but the amendment would tut tne six per cent iimuauon irom appli cation to this fund. Of the total sum $8,000,000 must be applied to reduce local property taxes until the year 1950; after that the legislature win aeciae now mucn snail do appueu to una purpuso. aiiv method of distributing this fund, which will include the present state elementary school fund and the $5,000,000 diverted from income tax proceeds under the initiative of 1942 and the act of 1943, is left to the legislature. When we first heard that the teachers' association was pro posing a constitutional amendment for establishment of state aid we were inclined to oppose it, assuming that lt would be using the constitution for legislative rather than truly con stitutional purposes. A study of the amendment does not bear out that fear. It proposes to establish as a principle, state sharing in cost of our common schools in a substantial amount. Since the principal would be meaningless unless tied to a figure, the amendment fixes 45 cents per child per day of attendance as the measure of state aid. This figure is arbitrary to be sure; but any figure would be arbitrary and no figure would leave the amendment empty of meaning. Next the amendment frees rather than restricts the legis lature, giving it power (irrespective of the six per cent limita tion) to provide the revenues from what sources it chooses or can find; power also to determine the way the fund be applied to offset school district property taxes. Thus the amendment involves one principle: a mandate for state con tribution to schools in a definite amount; and secondly gives the legislature wide latitude in carrying out the mandate. The Statesman has come to the conclusion on analysis of the proposed amendment that it is entirely proper matter both in substance and form to go into the constitution, In fact, it is hard to see how that step could be avoided if the six per cent limitation is to be gotten around. So much for the constitutional amendment point which haa been raised in discussions of the measure. Now what about ita merits? . . In the past Oregon has depended very largely on local school district taxes supplemented by a county tax (also a property tax) and a state elementary school tax (also a pro perty tax until very late years) for financing its schools. If school children were distributed geographically in exact pro portion to assessed valuation the distribution of the burden of education would be equalized. That condition does not exist and has not for decades, if it ever did. As a result there Is wide disparity in school taxation. The writer in his message to the legislature in 1939 reported: Of the 2085 school districts of the slate, 691 levy no special tax for elementary schools. For other districts the taxes range as high as 50.7 mills. The are two wavs to equalize the tax burden: one would be to consolidate districts into larger units, though subse quent changes would again bring about inequality; the other method IS lo proviae a larger sum irom mo simo ircanury and llehten the burden on the local districts. The pending amendment will increase substantially the amount of the state school fund; and if the legislature provides for Its equit able distribution then there will be an evening up of the burden of school support. Ohleetlons are raised, especially by taxpayer groups, against this measure on the ground that if the income tax receipts should shrink to pre-war levels the burden would fall on nronertv. It Is true that property Is "exposed" to addi tional burden by this amendment, but only in the event other firesent or prospective tax sources prove Inadequate, or the eglslature and the people prefer to have property assume this burden. The Statesman suggests that it Is time the people of the state InnlcoH nt. fhnlr aphnnls from another angle than how cheaply they can run them. The war has brought home to Oregon school directors the fnct that they have to compete for In structors. Teachers' salaries in Washington and California are mih.tnntlallv hiKher than in Oregon. The state department of education has had to give emergency certificates to scores of teachers who cannot qualify under regular standards. Nor is the condition one which will clear up with the end of the war. Our colleges of education are almost empty of students, including women, preparing for a teaching career. Some months ago this editor made a study of the changes mono hlth Relinnl nrincloals and sunerintendents in Oregon cities. The facts, which were published, should alarm parent! of children of school age. They showed our schools were be. coming starved at the top because of the loss of able men as school administrators. We submit thai the time has come for the people of Oregon in fcB the facts. Those facts point to this, that increased funds MUST be provided for the operation of our schools if wo ore going to maintain even the present standards (which are none too high). To do this by taking the six per cent 11ml :ation off of local district taxes would mean that property alone would bear the whole burden, because that Is the only taxing power a local school board has. Moreover there would then be no limit and dlrectori and natrons mleht "shoot thfl works" for their schools and soak the railroads, the utilities and other non-resident property owners. The proposed state fund sets a limit at the same time lt applies a mandate; 45 cents per child per day; and the legislature has broad taxing powers, made broader by thia amendment. The additional revenue is not exorbitant in amount or beyond the capacity of the people to pay. The amendment is timely; it is practical; It is Just; lt li necessary.
