RECENT WORK ON CANCER.

The remarkable studies of Maud
Slye on the inheritance of cancer in
mice are yielding positive results OF
great significance and interest. Miss
Sly's work shows that in mice the
tendency to develop cancer is trans
mitted from generation to genera
ton in exact accord with the laws OF
heredity so that it can be bred into
and out of strains of mice at Will.
She has bred cancer through ten gen.
erations, and in the stock OF ten
thousand mice under observation at
present spontaneous cancer is always
present, arising almost without eX-
ception in strains OF known cancer
Gus ancestry. The proper represen-
tatives of such strains of mice carry
ANGER into a strain with which they
are hybridized as inevitably as an
albino nous carries albinism into a
augmented strain with which it is
hybridized, and with exactly parallel
behavior of the character"
It is not cancer as such that Is
transmitted, but the tendency of the
sells to produce canoe under suitable
conditions, which appear to arise es-
pecially as the results OF all kinds of
local irritation, reminding us of the
undoubted role that chronic irrita-
tics plays in human cancer.
The mass of evidence presented
warrants the generalization that in
mice cancer tendency is a transmits
sible character, whatever the actual
cause of cancer may be. This is a
positive result, the full significance of
which makes it one or the great con-
tributions to our knowledge OF can
GER. While the exact study of the
influence of heredity in human cancer
at present is practically blocked be-
cause not enough facts can be obtain
ed, there are no known exceptions or
notifications to the laws of heredity
which would justify an opinion that
observations on cancer i'll mice are
not applicable to man. Hence, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, the final lesson drawn
by Miss Sly, based on the idea that
is not transmitted as such but
a tendency to occur from over-irri-
must be accepted as sound and
practical: THE elimination as lar as
possible of all forms of overirritation
to the tissues of an individual of high
cancer ancestry should go far to elm
hate the provocation of cancer; and
the eugenic control of matings so that
ANGER shall at least not be potential
on both sides of the hybrid cross
ought to eventuate in a considerable
decrease in the frequency of human
cancer"

RURAL CREDIT PROBLEM.

Notwithstanding the tendency of
some individuals who have been ac-
tive in attempts to establish rural
credit systems to dogmatize on the
subject, it is evidently still a problem
filled with difficulties. 1t is the unan-
imous conclusion that short-term
loans on farm land are too expensive.
In addition to high interest charges
and commissions for renewals there
is the expense Of frequent bringing of
the abstract down to date. There is
always hanging over the head of the
borrower the fear that financial con-
ditions will be such at the maturity
of the mortgage that he cannot get a
renewal at reasonable rates. There
is apparently general agreement that
some form of bonded indebtedness
must be devised. 1t is urged, in IL
lustration, that the public borrows
money in this way and that our great
industrial development would have
been impossible without the sale of
bonds.
But here the agreement ends.
Some would have the National Gov
ernmentOr the state. lend money tn
the farmers at low interest rates.
Others would use banks with capital
supplied by state or nation. Some
would exempt the capital of such
banks from taxation. Others would
exempt the bonds from taxation, us
ing the familiar argument that the
land is already taxed, an argument
which would apply to all mortgaged
property as well as to land. Two
speakers considered the problem be-
fore the Southern Commercial Con-
gress at Muscogee this week, Myron
4. Herrick, who has specialized on
rural credits more than any other
prominent American, and George
Woodruff of Joliet, H., who has an
intimate acquaintance with the work
ings of the Farm Mortgage Bank of
that city. Both protested against
state or national Subsidies of the
farmer" Mr.. Herrick criticised ex-
emption from taxation, on the ground
of inequality. Taxes must be paid
and he argues that farmers who are
not borrowing money would join
other classes of taxpayers in resisting
what would be a gross discrimina-
ton. Mr.. Woodruff would exempt
the debenture bonds from taxation,
using the general objection to "dou-
BILE taxation" The Joliet plan OF
amortization, by which twenty-yeaI
loans are paid out in forty equal
semiannual payments, appears tc
have been a success. 1t reduces tc

important still.-St. Louis Globe

FRAUDS.

AS one result of the effort of the
American people to cheaper the cost
of distribution of merchandise they
buy and sell, a series of bona fide CO.
operative undertakings have been
launched in various parts of the
country. Along with them have
gone fraudulent private concerns,
which are in reality deliberate stock
swindles. One such was hailed into
court in the western part of the state
a few weeks ago.
The affidavit of the treasurer of
the concern showed, among other
things, these figures:
Total sales on shares of stock,
s225,S9O.
Notes taken on such sales, $124,-
039.
Cash received on sales, ~$131,350.
Commissions and expenses of sales,
$74,262.
Net cash received, $57,0SS.
This shows who has been getting
most out of the company. namely the
promoters. Their share in cash has
been $74,262 out of the total cash
receipts of s131,S50.
One man who bought five shares of
the stock said he was told the concern
aimed to sell goods "at cost, plus
running expenses The agent who
sold the stock received half of the
money paid as his commission. Yet
on top of all this, the concern prom
ised a large profit to its shareholders.
A chain of these socalled co-opera-
tive companies has been started at
various points in the northwest, and
it behooves farmers and others to be
very wary of them and not to sub
scribe to any of their stock until they
have taken advice with local bankers,
or some person who can analyze the
scheme away from the spell of the
agent.-Enterprise Record Chieftain.

The State Dairy and Food Com
missioner of Oregon has ruled that
all makers of ranch and dairy butter
for market must use wrappers that
are printed according to the require
ments of that department. 1t has
been noticed that not a few Of the
butter makers of this section have
been using a rubber stamp to mark
their particular product, and this
is very Objectionable. From the.
large number Of orders this print
shop has> been receiving lately for
printed butter wrappers, we are led
to believe that there will be little
cause for complaint in the future of
the butter makers Of Morrow county
not complying with law. The small
price charged for this work should
be no bar to all getting their butter
paper printed as the law provides,
besides 1t is much heater than having
to write the names and weights with
a pen or putting them on with a rub
Der stamp.

PUBLICITY SAFEST METHOD.

The purpose of the publication of
the delinquent tax list is two fold:
First-To give notice to property
owners that their taxes are delin-
quent;
Second-To enforce the payment
of those taxes and thus secure the
needed revenue for the conduct of the
county and state governments.
The Times contends that the pub
LEGATION of the delinquent tax list ac-
composites both results at a minimum
of expense to the taxpayer.
That newspaper publicity is the
most prompt and effective method of
disseminating information and Civ
ing general notice to the public is so
generally acknowledged that argu-
ment seems unnecessary. The news
paper spreads the notoice by discus
sion for when Brown reads the notice
he promptly speaks about it to Rob-
inson and also with Jones and thus it
spreads. This is proved by the fact
that other states having a law similar
to the Oregon statute have reduced
the delinquent tax list from six and
eight newspaper pages at first to less
than three " four columns in length,
a result that the personal notice could
never accomplish.
Another evil which the personal
notice fosters and permits is that if
at any time a tax collector was
prompted by a desire to profit by not
sending a notice to the owner of some
valuable property he rould easily
hold out the notice, have a friend
purchase the property for the taxes
and get possession of the tax title.
1t is true such emergencies may be
rare but they do occur and newspaper
publication gives notice to all the
world that cannot be escaped, evaded
or denied. Everywhere there are
men who are willing to profit by an
others carelessness or pressing nee
essity. Such men watch the tax IT,
ties which often return them excess
sive profits. Newspaper publication
prevents this nefarious business by
the universal. scope of the notice,
which it makes public.
Everywhere that it has been tried
newspaper publication has proven eff
fective and while the law has not
been in effect in Oregon sufficient
time to accomplish the same results
it is none the less needed for any
thing in which the people and tax
payers are interested is benefited by
newspaper publicity.-Daily Marsh
field Times.
