SALEM PEOPLE COVER
10000 NILE TOUR
DR.. And Mrs. c. H. Clements
Return After Seeing Much
OF Country.

DR.. and Mrs. c. II. Clements, who
have been swinging around the cireum-
ference of the United States during the
past two months, have Just returned
home after covering something less than
10 900 miles of territory. They left 0Fe
gon by way of San Francisco and hos
Angeles. traversed all the southern
states, stopping at all the important
cities, and then swung northwerd to
Baltimore and New York. At one oil
two points they stopped for visit of a
week with relatives
DIR. Clements made this tour partly
with a view to visiting with great med
ical institutions and clinics of the coun.
try. and along with some very pleasant
sight -sceir- he devoted large part of
the time to close observation Of what
the medical and surgical sciences were
doing in the way Of modern methods.
Among other institutions he stopped
at Johns Hopkins university and at tho
Mayo Brothers institute at Rochester,
Minnesota. Questioned as to the merits
of this institution, the doctor was
guarded. II is unouestion9bly the great.
est thing of its kind in the world. In
the matter Of efficiency. system and
organization it is magnificent and mar
velous. He found that every appliance
and equipment know to the profession
was being utilized with a view to hand
ling the greatest number of patients in
given time. The four great hospitals
and the grounds and the city itself is
constructed to this end. But when his
attention was called to the world-idea
that the MAYO Brothers had a magic of
surgery and therapeutics unknown to
the profession generally, he expressed
the opinion that there is no greater
skill or knowledge at Rochester than
can be found at other institutions of the
country Thev simnlv had tac aayan.
tage of an infallible pathology, devel.
oped through dealing with innumerablc
eases of every known disease. Hundreds
Of cases file through the examination
rooms every day. Their experts detect
aud cassify disease symptoms almost at
q glance. Moreover, they detect hope
less cases at glance, and there are in.
variebly turned away. Consequently
their death rate is kept down to the
minimum.
DR.. Clements found industrial eondi-
tions generally good, though sagging a
little from the high pitch Of the war.
Weather conditions were good in most
sections and crop outlook very fair. On
the wav westward they STONED at the
Twin Cities. returning to Oregn over
the Northern Pacific. After seeing it
all. the couple are pleased 70 be back
in Oregon and Salem.

pie to sign the referendum petitions.
This 10 the secret Of the attack on the
league taxation measures, but In their
anxiety to alarm as many persons as
possible they have over played their
hand and made statements which are
contradictory. For instance, the Fargo
Forum and the Grand Forks Herald
and other organs Of special privilege
have told the farmers that the legisla-
ture enacted laws which would con-
fscate their land and on the other
hand these papers at the same time
were telling the people of the cities
that the farmers of the legislature
were exempting themselves from their
Just part Of the taxation. Obviously
both of these statements could not be
true and it IL possible to demonstrate
true.
Did Not Tell Truth.
The Grand Forks Herald and the
Fargo Forum have made repeated as
sertions that the total tax to be col
lected In North Dakota in 1919-that
Is, taxes for local, school, road, county
and state purposes-would run as high
as $4O,OOO,OOO annually. Last year the
state, county, school, road and local
taxes were approximately O,O0O, 600,
% that If the Forum and Herald are
telling the truth the taxes paid by the
people would be approximately doubled.
That, of course, would be very seri-
Gus matter, far in some cases 1t might
actually result in confiscation, but it Is
easy to show these charges have not
the slightest foundation of fact.
