Ten MitliOn-DOllar LEGISLATURE.

Avn Legislature.
The country newspapers are being
deluged with a mass of stuff tending
TO prove what triumph this session
OF the legislature was for the COVER
nor and the general good of the state.
If the governor holds it an honor
to guide the most expensive legisla-
ture Washing ton has ever enter
tanned, we fear he will find the honor
of doubtful value. Our legislature
will cost the state about a million dol
lars for every day it was in session
and it is not gong to be easy 10 prove
that all the expenditures were neces-
sary.
True, the legislature got away to a
good start. 1t passed the admins
trative code, which will look entirely
to the governor for it's success, mar
keting bill which should at least offer
a start to something permanent along
this line, and some other bills of
value. 1t also killed some bills that
would have ben bad for the state,
particularly the racetrack bill.
Economy was the. watchword for
several weeks and then in twinklin g
Of an eye it was taken down to the
Sound and dumped in the bay. The
gates were thrown open and the
food of appropriation bills poured in,
with the result that more than half a
hundred million dollars was ordered
raised.
The public has itself to blame for
a good deal of this appropriation orgy.
In the first place, we send men
over to the legislature and instruct
them to be economical, only we put it
to them more emphatically than that.
Then we send a swarm of lobbyists
over to get some money for our pet
project. We think we are the only
ones over there with lobby and Of
course feel pretty good when we
get 1t.
Then we learn that every other
district in the state has been over TO
Olympia using oil the strong-arm
methods known, in an effort to get a
chunk Of state money.
One district finally prizes the lid off
and through the trading system now
in vogue, the rest get theirs.
The Herald believes the legislature
should have stood true to its prom
Use Of economy, but at the same time
we hold that the members Of that
body are but human and the public
must take some portion of the blame
for what has happened at Olympia.

convention. Delegates representing
eastern mining states are also ex-
pected to be present.
The convention will be the most
important gathering Of mining men
ever held in the west. Every phase
Of mining will come up for discussion
in an open forum, a new feature to
be introduced at the forthcoming
meeting. Legislative needs Of the
miner and the mining industry will
have prominent place in the dis
cussions. It is the design of the
committee on arrangements, that
the convention shall resolve itself
into a frank exchange Of ideas, to
determine how best to meet the ex-
traordinary situation which con-
fronts the industry at this time.
In connection with the convention
there will be mining exhibit, in
which will be incorporated displays
Of minerals from many Pacific coast

MOTZMAN'S
Where You Can Always Do Better

was proven during the war and is be-
ing proven every day. Mayor Moore
Of Philadelphia recently asked the
City council to appropriate $4,000
for the dredging Of the Schuylkill riv-
er so that the American Henley could
be held there. Philadelphia believes
in rowing races or 1t would not have
appropriated $4,000. More than 100
cities opened municipal ice skating
ponds last winter. This is another bit
of evidence in favor of the repeal Of
the tax.
The American idea of sport Is do
ing something to improve the mind
and body, to make for better nation
physically. This only can be done
through proper recreation. 1t is diff
ficult for the boys and girls of the
United States to develop themselves
as they should If they cannot pur-
chase the essential implements.
1t is up to every sportsman to
write his congressman and senator
in his own style, and tell them what
he thinks Of the unjust law, and then
ask their support in having it re-
pealed. Write today.

WILLAMETTE SPINACH
FARMERS INCREASE
PLANTING ACREAGE
DR.. j. F. McClendon Announces That
Powdered Spinach Beneficial
to Children

United Press
SALEM, Dr. Mar. 21.-Spinach
farmers of the Willamette valley will
this year greatly increase their plant
ed acreage, as the result of the an
nouncement by DR.. J. F. McClendon,
of the University of Minnesota, after
six years Of reseach, that powdered
spinach is highly beneficial in the
feeding Of infants and children, as
we'll as adults.
As q result Of the announcement of
DR.. McClendon, one local dehydration
plant is preparing greatly to in
crease its capacity in the production
of powdered spinach, which is not
subject to botulinius, the recently
discovered poison which has proved
fatal in so many cases. Agents of
the dehydration company are advis-
ing farmers to increase their spinach
acreage. Growers in other states are
expected to follow the lead of the
Oregon farmers.
Seeking to solve the mysteries of
the high mortality rate among in
fants and children, DR.. McClendon' g
experiments with dehydrated spinach
showed such remarkable results, that
he has just announced the outcome
Of his experiments. In the Jean
Martin Brown Home, in St. Paul,
Minnesota, the final tests showed that
powdered spinach, in combination
with orange juice, was an ideal food,
the spinach containing iron and other
elements necessary to the building
of bone and tissue.
Reporting the result Of his final
test, DR.. McClendon writes that: "In-
fants in the home were largely or
phans and underfed. BY feeding
them two teaspoonfuls of powdered
spinach and one-twelfth of an ounce
Of orange juice, we increased their
growth rate to about three or four
times what it had been previously.
The prize baby gained 20 ounces in
one week. Even a baby marked
with ricketts, gained in weight"

Dear Sir:
Under date Of March II there was
published In your paper Q letter
which raised the question - to how
the heads Of families are going "a
supply the children with milk during
this time Of Unemployment and
drastic wage cutting throughout the
country
Let u lay aside for a minute the
question Of social economies and
simply say that the child must IN
some way be fed. The whole matter
hinges on whether or not milk costs
more than the foods which are being
used At the present time.
Attention n directed to the fact
that one quart Of milk furnishes an
equivalent IN calories or fuel value
to 1.1e pounds Of salmon. ! pound
Of round steak. = pound OF lean
pork chops and practically ! pound
Lee Of mutton. 1t has been found that
families that do not use milk on &C
esunA 1T are the ones that use
meat extensively. The above facts
show that milk 10 cheaper than meat.
IA report Of Z Chicago clinic the
following incident Is related:
''Ono mother was having hard
fight to support her five fatherless
children ON the mothers pension
allowed her BY the juvenile court.
eohe brought her little girl to the nu-
ttritfen class, where health workers
afaught her how to make her income

pint Of milk day for each child.
Tea and coffee were dropped from
her purchases, fact the grocer
boy~was quick to challenge! Her
sehil1ren are gaining we'll, and yet
not . cent has been added to her
food cost nor to her total budget"
sssThe shove comparisons are based
Zen the fuel value. We cannot over
emphaaixe the protective value OF
! millH in maintaining health and pro-
mcting growth. Milk and milk prod.
! ucts contain growth determinents
which are not found to any great
extent in other foods. This is espe-
cially true of the growth determi-
Nnents found in the milk fat.

CHAIRMAN FORDNEY
FAVORS REPEAL OF
SPORTS GOODS TAX
Tells Hugh Fullerton That the Gov.
eminent Hasn't Any Desire to
Tax kids" on Ball Field
BY PETER p. CARNEY

That the Hon. Fordney, chairman
of the congressional ways and means
committee, Is in favor of repeating
the 10 per cent war tax on sporting
goods is quite evident from the let
ter which he recently sent to Hugh
Fullerton, Sporting Editor of the
"New York Evening Mail"
Fullerton for more than year has
been trying to show the lawmakers
through articles in the press that the
10 per cent tax was unjust and that
it Disseminated against the youth OF
America-in other words Fullerton
has been the "kids' champion. In this
fight the kids" need Fullerton and
many others. Not content with his
writings Fullerton appeared before
congress and since that time has
written many letters to- the lawmak-
ers and put the situation before them
broadly.
This is what Mr.. Fordney says:
Dear Mr.. Fullerton
"Your letter in behalf Of the kid
athletes touches warm spot in my
heart.
1T certainly is not the wish Of
the government to tax kid ath-
letes' of the ball lots. / agree
with you that baseballs, gloves and
other equippage so essential to chill
dren in their games, are not luxuries,
but especially in the minds of the
younger generation, are necessities to
the enjoyment Of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
II want you to be assured in be-
half of the children whose cause you
so we'll represent that my heartfelt
interest will be manifest when the
committee on ways and means reach
es the tax sections pertaining to rev.
enue from kids necessities in athle-
tics.
"YOurS very truly,
~. w. FORDNEY."
1t is now up to the sportsmen Of
the United States to lineup several
hundred other members of congress
and get them of the same opinion as
Mr.. Fordney. Our sports must be
saved. What is the use of city put
ting money into Fairgrounds II the
kids" cannot purchase the material
necessary for them to enjoy them
selves with on the playground? How
are we to develop Cobbs and Brick
leys and Merediths if the government
insists on a war tax on sporting
goods that puts these articles beyond
the reach Of our future nation build
ers? 1t can't be done.
