The resolution was not adopted without opposition, although this op position came from a small minority. Adoption of the resolution came by a call for a standing vote, which brought ebout R5 per cent of those present to their feet. lir. Calvin S. White, former state health officer, took a decided stand in favor of the adoption of the res olution, contending that the practice of hospital associations was directly against the best ethics of the medical profession. Not only was the plan em ployed by these hospital associations unethical, according to Dr. White, but in addition, the public suffered by paying for service not given. Uillrbnnt Farora Krnolution. Adoption of the resolution was also urged by Ir. K. B. Dillehunt, who contended that the solicitation of in dividual patients through the medium of agenfs is nothing more than plac ing the practice of medicine on a com mercial basis. fc The arguments in favor of adoption of the resolution were summed up briefly by Dr. A. L. Baird who said: "The crux of this question is that certain business men who do not rec ognize the medical profession and who know nothing about it, are prostitut ing the medical profession for their own gain." Opposition to the adoption of the resolution was expressed by Dr. C. G. Sabin, who Is affiliated with one of the leading hospital associations in Portland. Dr. Sabin said that he was opposed to the solicitation of individ ual Oersons bv agents, but that never theless tho service of the hospital as - aociation to the public is excellent: Saliln Defend Association!. "There is nothing wrong about the work of the hospital associations.1' said Dr. Sabin, "even if personally I do not approve of the plan of solicita tion. Members of the hospital associa tions are given the best of service at a minimum cost and were it not for these associations a large part of the business handled by them would be transferred to the county hospital and the free clinics." Opposition to all contract work, in cluding the service given to employes of the railways for a low monthly assessment, was voiced by several members o'f the society, who contend ed that contract work wason a par allel with the plans followed out by the hospital associations. Judging by the applause which greeted the at tacks on the contract plan. It is with in the realm of possibility that some action against contract work within the medical profession may be taken at some future date. ' ' i J I Adelaide, at Pantagen.

Gross, J. X. Wheeler, XV. A. Herman and David Calbreath, former inspectors in the- department of pub lic works, find themselves without recourse as the result of a decision by Presiding Circuit Judge McCourt yesterday sustaining a demurrer to the mandamus proceeding they brought to compel the civil service board and City Commissioner Barbur to reinstate them. Though he expressed sympathy with the plaintiffs, Judge McCourt held that under the law they had lost their remedy, that of a writ of re view and were barred from further proceedings. Gross had been employed in the de partment of public works as an in spector since 1903, Wheeler since 1907, Herman since 1908 and Calbreath since 1910. In 1918 an ordinance was passed designed to require inspectors to take examinations to qualify in any particular branch of the inspec tion service in the department of public works. As they already were inspectors, the .plaintiffs refused to take the examination and were dis charged. They appealed to the civil service board and their discharge was affirmed. The remedy provided by law for them then was a writ of review of the action of the civil service board, which was required to be served, under the law, within 60 days of the decision. They explained yesterday that through error they had thought they had six months instead of 60 days to file the writ. That was their only remedy, held Judge McCourt, and their .failure to avail themselves of it Is a bar to further proceedings. Vi'holesome f?iv nl Kf III r??

Submission of the proposed zoning ordinance to the voters at the next city election, instead ot adoption of the ordinance by the vote, of the city council, is favored by City Commis sioner Pier, according to announce ment made last night. The proposed ordinance is iiow ready for considera tion by the city council and a time for public hearing will be set as soon as -Mayor Baker recovers from his illness. Commissioner Pier favors the zon ing ordinance, and said that if pas sage of the proposed legislation by the cityi council is the only alterna tive, he is willing to vote in its favor. However, he does feel that the zoning question is far too Important a mea sure to be invoked by the vote of five men, and that the residents of Port land are entitled to pass on the pro posed measure. Reference to Voters Preferred. "If there is no other way out," said Commissioner Pier, ."I will vote for the adoption of the ordinance in the city council. However, I much prefer to see the measure referred to the voters. Zoning- is an important measure, affecting in some manner the prop erty of every resident of the city. In the past it has been customary to submit measures of tremendous im port to the people, and some of these measures are insignificant when com pared with the proposed zoning meas ure. "Because of the very nature of th ordinance, it is impossible to educate the public to its requirements or its contents without the public takin sufficient time to examine the maps and learn just what is being proposed. Ample Time Should He Allowed. '"Because of this fact, I believe that plenty of time should be had betwee the time the ordinance is finally draft ed into shape by the city council and the time of its adoption. If the meas ure is referred to the people, this time would be had. 'and the average voter could be enlightened on its variou requirements." Commissioner Pier is the first mem ber of the city council who has an ounced in favor of submission of th measure to the people. Commissione Mann has frequently intimated that he. too, would favor placing the meas ure on the ballot. Commissioner Barbur, who presid ed at thd regular meeting of the city council yesterday announced tha.t be cause sufficient notice had not been given to the press in conection with the time, of hearing on the 'zoning ordinance, that the proposed ordinance would be laid on the table until nex week, when the city council would in a joint meeting with the city plan ning commission decide upon a time for a public meeting for arguments on the measure.
