OREGON CITY COURIER, THU&SDAV, JAN. 15, 1914
HELP THOSE THAT HELP
Districts that will not Help Them
selves not Entitled to Court Help
Editor Courier:
A recent tourist, after making a
trip over the proposed Pacific High
way from Portland, through Oswego
to Oregon City, declares that it is
not a feasible route owing to the
numerous hills and narrowness of the
road, and that a large expenditure
of money would be necessary in or
der to make it a safe and desirable
highway for automobiles, however if
the taxpayers in tho districts through
which the Pacific Highway extends,
are willing to foot the bills that is
their privilege; but certainly no
County Court would be justified in
making a levy on the county for the
purpose of expending any consider
able portion of such levy in construct
ing a Pacific Highway over an ex
ceedingly expensive route, especially
when there is already an excellent
macadamized road almost completed,
from Oregon City to the north line
of the county. This road, known as
the River Road, will be finished in a
few months and that at the expense
of the taxpayers in the district thru
which the road extends. One road
district alone, besides paying on the
county levy about $16,000 in two
years, will pay in the same time
about $20,000 as a special levy for
this road.
An official statement published re
cently, showed that only 28 road dis
tricts in Clackamas county made any
special levy for roads this year and
that the entire special levy would
bring in only about $74,000. Now the
fact is that about one-seventh of that
comes from one district.
In some localities road construct
ion may be difficult and costly and as
sessed valuation of property so low
that any reasonable levy would be
inadequate to meet the necessary re
quirements, in such cases other por
tions of the county should render as
sistance. Districts that have valuable prop
erty and refuse to make any special
levy for the purpose of repairing or
constructing their highways, are not
entitled to a single dollar from any
other of the county. Why should
$4,000 be taken from' a single district
and put into a district that reluctant
ly pays even the county levy? It is
very considerate to let George do it.

THE RIGHT OF MIGHT
wish to thank the members of the

was more impressed with the impor

sons than on that visit.
There were two hundred and fif

them were young men who stood for

would be afraid to put my life and
prosperity into their hands, and all
good, honorable men. No outlawry
among them; no drunkards, but kind
to the stranger within "their gates."
All were respectable, law-abiding
citizens, ready and willing to do a
kindness to one in need.

Editor Courier:
The writer reads with much pleas
ure and satisfaction each edition of
your virile and valuable paper. It is
refreshing to think that there is one
newspaper in the State of Oregon
that is not shackled by some purse
pi oud monopolist. A free press is one
of the greatest blessings we enjoy
and one that prostitutes its columns
to the base uses of a lot of greedy,
cold-blooded wretches with swollen
fortunes already beyond their most
extravagant wants or possible neces
sities, while thousands oi their iei
low creatures Of the same flesh and
blood are leading a heart-rending existence.
Your article about the proposed
referendum in regard to exemption
of $1,500 from taxation, is timely.
By the way, a pertinent article ap
pears in a magazine lately that is
masterful .and perfectly unanswer
able argument in favor of the singl
tax proposition.
The town of Kidderminster is situ
ated exactly on the line of Saskat
chewan and Alberta provinces in La
nada. The main street of this town
is exactly on the line and the Alberta
side has single tax, while the basKat
chewan side has the foolish and utter
ly absurd tax proposition in vogue
here, which penalizes a man for mak
ing improvements. Now what are the
results .'
The single tax side is growing by
leaps and bounds and even the men
who do business on the Saskatchewan
side have built their homes on the AI
berta side and in process of time and
as fast as possible the double tax
part of the town is being obliterated,
Vancouver, B. C. north of Seattle,
is fast receiving additions to its popu
lation from Oregon and washingto
and as a matter of fact over 40,000
people from these states have gone
to Canada in the past year, and the
greater part of the number have
gone to Victoria, Vancouver and to
other towns where the single tax
svstem is in vogue,
Why do the big dailies in Portland
fight this system? Simply because
Big Business and the land sharks hold
a lot of land out of use, and if it was
taxed as it should be, these greedy
land grabber would be taxed out of
existence. There is no use about being
mealy-mouthed about these specula
tors and their aides and abettors, for
the plain truth should be uttered, and
plainly written so that the great
State of Oregon can rightly occupy
the proud position as one of the great
est in all the states of the Union.
When Hazen S. Pingree was major
of Detroit, Mich., he told the poor
people of that, city to go out at once
and plant all the idle lots on and
around Detroit in potatoes and other
vegetables for their sustenance and
support. A roar went up that you
could have heard across the state
from the greedy speculators, but
"Potato" Pingree, as he was deris
ively called, held to his purpose and
many a poor family without injuring
anyone, replenished their larder.
Now there are hundreds and thou
sands of lots around Portland that
are held out of use by the biggest col
lection of land hogs in the world and
if any such attempt was made by
Mayor Albee, which is not likely,"
howl from the gray wolves of Big
Business and land sharks could be
heard to the top of Mt. Hood,
It is to be noted with pride that a

and help them to start, giving them

countries, notably France. Why not

Garfield First Honor
Garfield school is ihe first school
in Clackamas County to become a
standard "A" grade school.taught by
Miss Roman? under the supervision
of Prof. Howard M. James, of Ksta
cada. On Thursday afternoon of
last week there was held at the
Garfield schoolhousc a standardiza
tion rally, when addresses were
made by M. 1'ittmari, of the state
Normal at Monmouth; County School
Superintendent Callavan; Supervisor
Brenton Vedder, of Gladstone. The
rally was to be in charge of Trof.
James.
The reason this school has been
honored is that the building has am
ple light from tho left and rear;
heating apparatus and ventilating
system; single seats that have replac
ed the double seats; and out build
ings that are sanitary.
Before Miss Roman took up her
duties as a teacher at Garfield Miss
Rika Anderson was her predecessor,
and who was also an excellent teach
er, and these two young women have
assisted greatly in making this school
a standard "A."
Garfield school is located in a pro
gressive neighborhood and county and
is in the heart of the Garfield fruit
center.

This tyrant of a greedy Scotchman,

demnation for this damnable act of

It is said that wherever the iron

our great corporations, like the coal
barons of Pennsylvania, or West Vir

and copper Mine owners of Michi

awful state of affairs existing in

Put Over to Boom the Drug and M. D.
Business
By Dr. W. A. Turner, Naturopath
" (Questions relating to health mat
teis will be answered if sent to me,
care of Hotel Edwards, Portland, Ore
gon.) Crying for More Money
The boards of health in nearly
every city, are constantly asking the
taxpayers for more money. The claim
is set up that in Chicago for instance,
1700 people die every month, and a
million or more in the United States
die every year from "prventable dis
eases which could be prevented by
"preventive mdicine." This, of course,
is rot more money means more allo
pathic doctors inexperienced politi
cal ones, saddled upon the taxpayers,
and more graft. The medical frater
nity has a cinch now, the biggest it
will ever have for every department
of federal, state and city govern
ments is monopolized by them and
disease is on the increase. They pro
fess to be deeply concerned about the
health of the dear people and clamor
to save them from well, I hardly
know what, unless it be from the doc
tors themselves.
They are busy inventing new dis
eases and then inventing new serums
to cure them, serums, of course, be
ing the new craze; "preventive medi
cine.!' Therefore it stands to reason,
from their standpoint, that for most
of all the dreadful diseases you should
have a serum for each one of these
terrible maladies squirted into you
and thus "prevention medicine" will
keep you alive. But, what of the crop
of diseases such as tuberculosis, can
cer and others that come from vsing
their serums? Silence reigns ou this
subject.
The subsidized press is full of talk
about the 80,000 men of the U. S.
army who are compelled to undergo
vaccination for typhoid and last year
only had two cases of the disease.
"Eugenics a subject it knows nothing
about, and is also getting blue in the
face over the "great red plague"
alias, or in reality, Syphilis. The Ore
gon Social Hygiene Society was or
ganized at the suggestion of the
A. M. A. by Dr. Calvin S. White,
our $5,000 a year state board of
health man, who is president of the
aforesaid O. S. H. S.
This society has been trying to
carry on a whirlwind, panic-breeding
campaign in which this disease is the
chief topic. Lectures in theatres by
board of health doctors, lurid print
ed matter, including "Circular No. 10
for young women," a traveling side
show and other means have been
adopted to scare men and 'women
about it a method dastardly, but
sometimes effective.
At one time the ancient Jews were
threatened with extinction by this dis
ease but eradicated it by cleanliness
and diet according" to the laws of
Moses. There was neither mercury nor
"606" to poison and kill the people
with at that time.
Syphilis is a disease peculiar to
Christian countries and is a sign of
civilization. Its introduction into for
eign countries has been by Christians.
We have been educated and fright
ened by the medical profession into
beliving that syphilis is the scourge
of mankind. This is not so. While the
disease is a reality the great dangers
arising from it are largely the result
of the imagination mind over mat
ter, aided by medical ignorance in
treating it. As one doctor, an M. D.,
puts it: "it is a diseases of filth, plus
drugs, medical hysteria and medical enough money and nerve to get an in
The medical profession has many
sins to answer for, the chief sin be
ing the untold misery and suffering
caused by its ignorance in treating
syphilis but the people can be thank
ful that with the advent of modern, up
to date, drugless systems of healing
a new light is shown and a new way
pointed out to escape thet errors
caused by medical ignorance and mal
practice. Again, Mrs. Catherine Kelly
Mrs. Kelly is a "trained" nurse em
ployed by the state board of health
to travel over the state at the tax
payers' expense to "inspect" the
country schools. She has just sent in
her latest report from eastern Ore
gon and after a month spent in Pull
man cars, good hotels and travel, be
sides getting a comfortable salary,
she has reported finding one case of
impetigo, three cases of adenoids, six
defective children and one with a cleft
palate. It has cost the taxpayers a
tidy sum to find this out and then
what? Nothing, of course but the
political doctors have got to do some
thing to keep the pot .boiling and
make the people believe they are on
the verge of annihilation..
Mrs. Klly's work has been so "suc
cessful" that Dr. White has announc
ed that he intends to put on a second
nurse at the state's expense. Verily,
politics is a great thing.
As I have previously stated the
state board of health being composed
of allopathic doctors exclusively in vi
olation of the Oregon constitution, is
an illegal body and can be put out of
business by some taxpayer with
delusion."
Mercury was first prescribed for
this disease 300 years ago by a Swiss
doctor and mercury or mercurial
poisoning is in reality the disease af
ter the first stages.
Syphilis at first yields easily to
a correct die,t, not such as would be
prescribed bv an M. D., for they know
nothing of scientific diet or cause of
disease. The mind put at ease and the
junction against it. Since writing the
above the daily papers announced that
-the county school superintendents
yesterday condemned Mrs. Kelly's in
spection, saying that in some schools
she spent only from three to ten min
utes and that in several instances she
did not state facts, so you can see it
has been a farce, for which the tax
payers are paying dearly.
