I f BY-PRODUCTS OF SCIENCE .
J j Judged by its fruitsmodern science may not be as magni
j ficent an edifice as its builders have been fond of believing
j;So, at any rate, says' Professor Arthuit II.,Compton 0f the
University of Chicago, winner of the Nobol prize for physics
Jn 1927. w.::: . , , ,, : '
i ; Professor Compton told a meeting of the American PhysU
j cal Society in Washington the other day that splendid scien
tific, achievements often seem to bring rather puny results.
-f For instance, consider the young people (and older ones,
r-Joo) who fritter away tho best part of the night, and early
, h morning hours dancing and dissipating to the tune of the
3 cheap' jazz that flows from a loudspeaker. Is this what 'the
;' great electrical pioneers were working for? ;
-That Question is something of a poser, but it can bo dupliV
jUpatcd.-wiiib. many other inventions, too. The automobile Js
Ia;marvel of .nie'chaViioal jngenuity; but sometimes its chief,
3 results seem to be clogged highways,, a rising toll of fatal
;J accidents, and a, deplorable tendency on' the part of some,
j youngsters, who ought to be home in bed, to find question-
3 able amusements far away from parental restraints.
I Moving pictures are a miracle of modern science, but some
of the stuff that gets thrown on the silver screen today hard-
'j ly seems worthy of the brilliance of the inventor. :
. -
Likewise, Mr. Bell's telephone is quite an invention; but
jjflid Mr. Bell ever dream1 of the hours upon hours of idle
gossip that would be sent over the wires ?
J So it goes. If the present Ago has a genius for .-producing
men who can' accomplish the Impossible, it also has a genius
for debasing the miracles that these men produce, putting
5 tnem to silly and inconsequential purposes.
$ However, that is not the whole 'story.; Inane radio pro-
grams, cheap movies, moronic auto drivqrs, and telephone
gossipers ne, after all, only by-products. The important
I thing is that these bright and marvelous new tools have been
pliuced in our hands, We may misuse them for a while, and
perhaps even cut ourselves with them, but once wo learn
;how to handle thorn properly the scientists who brought
I thorn forth will be vindicated. ' !
Consider the radio, for example. Some fearful trash does
i.-gell put on the air; yet thousands of lives have been saved
at sen by the .radio, The radio knife, recently perfected,
i has enabled surgeons to perform delicate operations with ,
more ease and less risk than ever before. Such results surely j
I would! satisfy Messrs. Franklin, Maxwell, Marconi, and Do-!
Forest. ... ' ' '
J Meanwhile we must put up with the less encouraging fea
t tares. That is too bad, but it need not be disheartening.
Fire Chiefs Of
Oregon Meeting
At State College
OORVALLIS, Ore., June 5 (P)
Rev. Francis P. Lelpslg, pastor of the
Eugene Catholic church, was yester
day elected to monorary life mem
bership in tho Oregon Fire Chiefs'
association at tho second day of the
annual convention and firemen's
school now beln (i hold at Oregon
State college.
Father Lelpslg, formerly of Cor
vulliH, has been active In civic work
favored by firemen, and yesterday de
livered a personal eulogy in memory
or tho lato Chief Tom Graham of
Coivallls.
l The possibility of effective rural
iiro control was report ou oy Chlof
W.-P. Vandervelden of Forest Grove,
in an address yesterday in which he
explained how his department han

of tho city in the past five years.
uescrtueu enroe methods of fi
nancing special rurnl eauinmeiit
aside from use of the new law for
mo protection districts. He emoted
statistics showing that rural fire
losses jn Oregon lost year averaged
5 per cent of value of property af
fected, while In cities the loss was
less tnan iu per cent.
Paul X. Knoll conducted the first

NEW LAWS GO
INTO EFFECT
AT MIDNIGHT
(Continued from Page One)
referendum moves, and two oC these
liiwn liavo been. Uoluyedag n. result
until the next tionerul olectton. The
twq agulnsb which referendum moves
lliive been successful are the closing
of the Rogue river to commercial
fishing, and the 10 cent tax on oleo
margarine, They will do submitted
to a .vote of the people.
Two others, one on the educational
appropriation, and the other on the
state police- bill, may be completed
before tomorrow, only one of these
effects- laws becoming operative at
this time. Tho state police bill, should
the move to refer it fail, would not
become operattvo until August 1.
The fifth referendum, against clos
ing parts of the McKenule river to
fishing from boats, Is expected to
full.
A total of 403 bills were passed by
the legislature and signed by the
govornor. Two or these however cov
erod the Aamo subject and are ran
rosented in tho statutes by two sup
uruLo cimpiers. al);ty wp or the
measures bore the amci'genoy clause
and beoame effective immediately
upon- thlr approval by the governor.
Most of these were appropriation
pleasures.
Of the remaining 340 two, the Qleo
rnargarllie tax and the Bogus river
fishing bill have been, held up by
referendum and two others by their
own provisions, do not become effec
tive until a later date. One of these
is me state ponce Dill, and the other
the new department of agriculture
which does nob become effective un
til July 1.
New Speed Low
Among the more Important new
laws Is the "Rules of the Boad."
which not' only lilts the Sfi-mile- an
hour speed limit, out provides for
the three-arm signal system, and uni
form provisions, for observance of
trafflcv regulations generally. - One
phase of the new traifla- node, pro
viding for drivers' license applicants
examinations, does not become op
erative until July 1,
Three of the 838 new laws are re
pealing oots, Two repeal the so
called Eddy acts on the 103& session,
placing property Qualifications on
voters as. elections involving bond
Issues or tax levies. The other re
peals the "certificate of convenience
and. necessity" Sct relating to ,the
operation ot publlo utilities,
Another important law changes the
personnel of the state emergency
board and limit :th amount of
money, that can be appropriated by
tins body during the bltnnlum,
liitangiMea Outstanding
To tax payers, th outstanding
piece of legislation Is perhaps the ln
tunglbles tax act. This Is largely a
revamping of the aot- ot 19W which
was held to. be unconstitutional by
the state supreme court. Thai new
act Increases the rate from 6 to 8
per cent, and Is said to overcome
the legal objections to the former
act. This tax 1b estimated to yield
ai.eoo.ooo to the state treasury as
an offset to -the present tax paid by
real property. The tax to be col
lected this- year will' be on Interest
and dividends accruing during 1930.
The Inaome tax law which the
publlo must pay along- with the In-;
tangibles tax by June OB. was an In
itiative measure passed by the people
last November. -
The peoples utility district bill.
sponsored by the state grange, and
rcgarqeu as a part oi. tne aamintstrtt'
tlon program along with the utilities
commission bill and the hydro-electric
act, also becomes effective at
this time The other two laws car
ried the emergency clause and have
oesn operai-ive since s-eoruary. The
grange utility bill provides foe the
organisation of districts, somewhat
similar to auper-hlghafty districts,
for the promotion of power plants
financed, owned and-operated by the
people of the district,
The free text-book bill Is anbther
