NEEDS SPURS AND
BUCKING STRAPS

Say, did you ever go over to Tilla-
nook in a buckboard?" said a North
Salem street car patron today. about
the nearest thing to ride of that kind
has been experienced by me in the
past few days when the street car com
pany took off its double-truck cars
and substituted the little dinky piano
boxes on the north run.
"If ever you want to go on JOY
ride" continued the patron. "just tack
le one of those small cars once. The
line north is not in splendid shape
as to roadbed-a long way from it
but when those single-truck vehicles
attempt to run over the rails. The
sengers bounce about in them like
peas in dry kettle Rounding curves,
the patron Is unceremoniously chucked
into a corner and the next instant
yanked out and landed on some neigh
boris feet or standing wrong end up in
the aisle. This sort of riding is good
enough going home at night; it gives
one an appetite for dinner, but takes
the kinks out Of man when he rides
in the morning when he comes to
work with only few flapiacks under
his belt, and his early morning dispo-
sition off color.
what this street car company
ought to do, is to take those straps
from the top of the little cars and nail
them under the seats with just enough
hand holt sticking out to give the rider
a chance to pull leather If the buck
ing gets too rough; provide a few bot
ties Of arnica; a trained nurse and
compel a company doctor to accom-
pany each car. Truly, my friend, this
car service, in some instances, is de-
cidedly western; regular plain, old
wild and woody, cowboy style"

He Thinks
the Law Is
a Good One

In support Of the proposed COM
pensation act an interesting and per-
tinent study Of the operation Of the
employers liability law is presented
by J. A. Madsen, secretary Of the Pa
cific Coast District International Long
shoremen's Union, who was one Of the
labor representatives appointed by
Governor West to assist in drafting
the compensation measure.
Branding the liability law as made
quate in that it does not protect the
worker as he or she should be pro-
tected Mr. Madsen sets out the fol-
lowing reasons and arguments:
First. If a person obtains employ
ment with firm that is not insured
with the casualty companies and
meets with an accident and the com
pany goes bankrupt there is no chance
for the workman to collect a judgment
Second If a workman obtains en-
plOyment with a company or corpora
tion incorporated in some other state
the workman if injured, cannot sue
under the Oregon law, but must bring
action in the federal court, under the
federal law, according to a decision
of Federal Judge Bean rendered re.
Gently A great many manufacturing
construction, commercial and con-
tracing concerns doing business in
Portland and the state, are incorporat-
ed in some other state, and are there
fore immune and cannot be sued by
an injured emplOye, under the oregon
law.
Third. Where an employe has a
chance to recover, under the Employ
ers' Liability law, he invariably must
secure the services Of an attorney be-
cause the employer is unable to settle
with him, no matter how willing he
may be, on account of the fact that
such employer is generally insured
with one Of the many casualty COM
panies that are doing a nourshing
business in this state And let me add
here, that Oregon, with its advanced
legislation in every other respect, pays
more pro rata to those companies and
receives less in return for injured
workmen, than any state that has
worlmen's compensation.
The attorney prepares the case and
the trial is set, generally about six
months later. While waiting for his
trial to take place, the injured person
Is subject to good many chances of
losing his principal witness, by re-
moval from the state, or by undue in
fluence brought TO bear upon such wit

EASY TO GET RELIEF
FROM INDIGESTION

Your stomach should digest the
food you eat, without the aid of any
artificial digestives. If it won't do
that, then you are continually subject
to dyspepsia, Indigestion, heartburn,
headaches and constipation.
Instead of taking digestive medicines
take steps to get your stomach
and intestines again in healthy,
natural condition. Jayne's Tonic Ver-
mifuge will do this for you If you will
take 1t Regularly. 1t is not diges-
ter of foods, but 1t will restore your
stomach and intestines so that they
will attend to their natural functions
digesting what you eat and giving
strength to the body.
For more than eighty years thous-
ands Of men and women who had
suffered the pains caused by dyspep-
sia and indigestion have been prais-
ing this tonic as tho only remedy
which brought them permanent re-
lief. AS the tonic acts directly upon
the stomach and intostnes, 1t is a
natural appetizer and strength build
er.
Many forms Of supposed Indigestion
are the result Of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayno's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed, Insist upon Jayne's;
accept no other. Sold by druggists

mission, which will surely result in
its being enacted into law, thereby ell
evating the workers of the state, and
removing them from a condition of
charity in case of INJURY, to honorable
deserved recompense.
The law before you is the most lib
erGl in compensation and application,
and in its present form is absolutely
the best measure on the statute books
of any state in the Union. 1t contains
humanitarian principles and remedies.
In case Of injuries or accidents result
ing in death, 1t takes care Of the wild
ows and orphans; and in many other
ways tends to lessen the burden of the
wage-earners Of Oregon.
There can be no serious objection
on the part Of organized labor to this
measure. 1t is broad and liberal, and
IL the united support of labor is forth
coming, there can be no doubt of the
result A two years trial of this
measure will convince the most skep-
tical that it is long step in the right
direction. This bill will meet with
strenuous opposition from a certain
class of attorneys that have heretofore
made a speciality Of handling damage
suits for injured workmen; and from
the casualty companies that have here
tofore made enormous profits out of
the misofortunes of worklngmen, their
wives and children.
Some INSCRIPTIONS employers of la
Dor in conjunction with some of our
worthy legislative representatives are
now planning to create confusion and
division in the ranks Of labor by Of
fering fake compensation law drawn
in the interest Of labor (apparently)
but in reality, to defeat all legislation
Of this character.
The commission, your representative
included, will see to 1t that dirty pol
itics of this kind are shown up and
counteracted. This measure is of great
Importance to all the workers of the
state; and no selfish group of employ
ers, politicians, or selfshly interested
individuals will be permitted, in CON
junction with the insurance compa-
nies, to interfere or defeat progress
sive measure of this kind.

case was one ot chickenpox and not smallpox"
 Health Officer Fox's Statement.
 Health Officer Fox stated on Mon day that the La CToix child surely had smallpox. The child, he said, had been examined not only by himself but by Dr. John G. Stanton of New London, who had also diagnosed the cases as smallpox. When the illness ton, he had it immediately quarantine ed to make certain that she was the victim of smallpox.
 Health Officer Fox stated that he would place the experience of pr. Stanton, who has been a physician son, who, he said. had only limited experience as physician. "Dr. Will son has only been pTacticing in Mont vile about two years and there have been no cases of smallpox in the town in that time to my knowledge"
 Regarding the situation on Monday Dr. Fox stated that there were no more new cases to a certainty, al- though he has another suspect. The suspect is a child about 10 or Il years Of age and lives quite aL little distance from the other victims. The child has been going to the Uncasville school the teacher of which Miss Barbara Cornet. has the disease. The child is being kept under close observation.
 Numerous Vaccinations.
 A vigorous protest of the officials of the Thames Specialties Co.,, whose em- ployes were included in the order not to be allowed to leave or board a troll ley car in Montville, was met by the authorities by inStituting an inspection of the plant and vaccinating all the employees who needed vaccination those who had been vaccinated or had the disease not being included. Be tween 50 and 75 of the employees were inoculated
 The smallpox scare also caused ar epidemic of vaccination of residents of Montville and it Is estimated that about 150 including employees of the Thames Specialties Co.,, had been Yac- cinated.
 Health Officer Fox is to secure the services of several health officers from nearby towns to make an examina tion of all the cases in Montyilie tc make certain that the disease is smallpox and to sustain the opinions of those who have examined them previously.
 He is also to have photographs taken of Peter Sauntree, one of the victims in an effort to prove that the man has smallpox. He proposes to show these to physicians pr layman to substitute his diagnosis and those of other phy- sicians.
