He says, "the rock and rye that our grandfathers swore by is another out of date fallacy. It does no good. It acts as a false stimulent and cannot effect anything beneficial or par­ manent.” An thus passes tile tradi- tion of the past.—Sheridan Sun. ------ o------ Robert R. Butler, one of the repub­ licans voted on at the state election to carry back the vote to Washing­ ton, makes a good suggestion. He is in favor of sending Mrs. Ed. Hanley, the spectacular campaigner of Med­ ford who it is said did more to carry Oregon for the republican column than any one in the state. Why there should be any strife among electors to carry the vote of a defeated can­ didate is a problem wc can solve on no other theory than the trip is de­ sirable for other persons.—Tele­ phone Register. Authorities continue to differ on dietetic problems. Here’s a German specialist of Hamburg explaining that the way to make a short meat allowance go far is to bolt it as a dog does. That makes it “stay by you” longer.

HEADLIGHT,;DECEMBER 21. 1916 SMILE AWHILE. J^AVID ROBINSON, M.D. ------ o— — Always Good Hum°red. Handing It To The Counties. ------o- It is reported from Salem that the governor has evolved a plan to get around the difficulties arising from the adoption of the tax limitation amendment; his plan, so Salem re­ ports say, contemplating the com­ bination of license fees and personal property tax on automobiles and making the whole amount collectable by the state for state purposes. Thus if the combined license and personal property tax on an automobile amounted to $10 that amount would be collected by the state and used for state purposes. The undesirable feature of this little plan is that under it the counties would hold the sack. Automobiles are listed among the taxable assets, and taxing them under this plan would simply re­ move the total represented by their value from the roll of the counties, leaving just that much less property upon which to levy for county pur­ poses. It is not essentially different from the previously proposed plan to certify to the counties the amount needed for the state tax and leave them to foot t IK­ bill as best they might. There arc in Lane county at present approximately 1500 automobiles. As- suming that they arc taxed at an average value of $200, this would mean the elimination of $300,000 from the assessed valuation, so far as taxation for county purposes is con­ cerned. So much of Lane county’s property is already removed from taxation that its citizens connot view with enthusiasm any plan that con­ templates still further removals. It would be far better merely to hew to the limitation plan and let the chips fall where they may.—Oregon Regis- ter.
