MACDONALD HITS
POLITICAL RIVALS
Premier Touches Upon Big
Issues to Come Before Com
mons in Speech.
By the Associated Press.

DERBY, England. September 81
In his first political speech since the
parliamentary recess. Premier Mac
Donald, referring today to the meet
ing of Parliament Tuesday to deal
with the Irish bill. appealed to Home
Rulers. Unionists. Conservatives. Lib
erals and Laborites to come together,
so that the bargain solemniy entered
into with South ireland might be car
ried out.
Some one asked him what about the
north. and to this the Prime Minister
retorted: ulster has got to be dealt
with fairly like the south.
A party fight was heart-Dreaklns
scene, the premier went on, ana tne
Irish question was an Illustration OF
this. Parliament was not meeting be-
cause it wanted to. but because IN
an agreement accepted by all parties
which settled the civil war IN ire
land, an essential clause was found
not to be workable.
Mentions League Session.
Abiding to the Geneva confer
ence. Mr.. Macdonald said the Labor
marty must stand for and obtain
ueace if it was to justify its inter
national work and outlaw war. 1he
government had world peace in mind
and did not pay lu service dione
to it. Arbitration was a definite
step forward. and the Labor gov
ernment would yet establish condi-
tions under which men would not
fear war.
Defending the Anglo Russian
treaty. the premier pointed out this
was the second stage of the Labor
governments efforts to make peace
with Russia, for which he was called
a bolshevik. He knew there were
difficulties about the treaty and that
explanations would have to be given
The treaty granted Great Britain the
most favored nation clause, and
Great Britain had obtained many
valuable concessions.
1t was significant that two ma
tions which have peen blackguaru.

You can't reduce taxes by reducing
the Taxpayers"
What lot of sound economic phil
osophy in that succinct statement. 1t
is an argument in itself against ml-
nicipal and government ownership
which reduces taxable property on the
rolls in the staggering units of tens
of millions of dollars and leaves the
resultant tax deficits to be made good
by individual taxpayers.
you can't reduce taxes by reducing
the taxpayers" is the slogan of a new
organization of citizens of Seattle.
formed to save the taxpayers from
the impending menace of the Bone
Bill, which comes before the voters of
Washington in the November cleo
ton in the form Of an initiative. The
name of this important organization
is Citizens Association Against Init

executive committee, all of whom are
home-oWners and taxpayers.
Announcement of purpose is made
as follows:
This is an organization of citizens
who believe the Bone Bill, as now
drafted, If adopted would be detri-
mental to Seattle and municipal pow
er ownership. 1t is voluntary or
ganization with no funds to support
its work other than what has been or
may be contributed by individual citi-
zens who believe the measure should
be defeated. Some of the committee
favor municipal ownership and we are
not attacking the principle of munich
pal ownership, nor are we opposing
the Skagit project.
we feel that the voters should
have had just such a discussion as we
propose now before they voted to pay
Sl5,O0O,000 for street railroad. Two
years ago when the Scent carfare
proposition was up, newspapers, clubs,
community organizations and the pub
lie generally welcomed a thorough dis
cussien of it. After the voters saw
what it would lead to the measure

To-day the studious Voter has be-
fore him two interested arguments,

Twelve years ago a young cow
puncher drifted into Pendleton, Ore
gon Just previous to the opening of
the already famous Roundup. He had
his boots, pair of dungaree breaches
with portion of the seat intact, the
shirt on his back, and a pair of worn
chaps. Beyond that and an unlimited
amount of nerve, he was "slick." AS
he roasted up on the arena fence with
fellow hands watching tryouts Of buck
ing horses, he wondered where din
ner money was coming from, not to
mention entry fees in the contests OF
the cowland classic.
This busted cowboy of dozen
years ago, although he may have dined
on couple of drinks of cold water
and frightened belt, managed to
scare up entry fees in the cowboy
events. Once in them, he showed
what young cowpuncher, with his
heart in his work, and the need of
ready cash could do When the clas
sic closed, he was the possessor of the
golden belt which marked the first
all-around cowboy champion
That was "Hoot" Gibson, now OF
Los Angeles, who, roosting on the
same fence from which he started IL
years ago, watched Pendleton's fit
teenth annual Roundup make new
champion. The years it took to bring
him back to Pendleton carried him
far, and it was with his own entire
motion picture company from Holly
wood that the famous star watched
Paddy Ryan of Miles City, Montana
ride into the same title in the same
arena that gave Gibson his start IL
years ago.
But Paddy did not come into Miles
City as Gibson did. Instead he en-
tered Pendleton with long start to
ward the famous Roosevelt Tropy, the
new emblem of cowboy championship

READING WITHOUT GLASSES

We often hear: "My grandfather
was 80 years old when he died and
he read his Bible up to the last
WITHOUT CLASSES" That does not
necessarily mean that grandfather
did not need glasses. In his time the
Bible was huge book with very large
print.
Lord Haldane, in recent inter-
view, expressed himself as being very
proud of his mother, who, over 100
years of age, reads five languages
WITHOUT SPECTACLES." One
dislikes to mar the picture; but, al
lowing for the exaggeration to be ex-
pected from dutiful and affectionate
son, old people who can read without
spectacles should ascertain whether
some change in the eye structures in
dicating weakness rather than
such unusual prowess may be due to
strength. The evening star grows
apparently larger and brighter as it
sinks to rest.
Occulists know that sometimes
peculiar condition occurs in the eyes
of the aged whereby the sight may
for a time seem unusually good. They
can actually read better without their
glasses than they formerly could with
them and are elated upon "regaining
second sight" This increase of
vision is result of the swelling of
! the crystalline lens, which lens is
normally rather fiat and far-sighted.
In the aged the blood becomes weak
and watery and the lens takes up
this water in an effort to obtain suit
able nourishment, this b m / n g
swollen and rounded. Being rounded,
therefore, it will magnify unusually
we'll; but the watery and weak nutri-
ton soon makes the delicate transpar-
ent tissues Of the lens become cloudy
and cataractous.
Therefore, when an old person sud-
denly becomes able to read without
glasses, it may be that the crystalline
lenses are swelling, and that cataract
is inevitable.
