CHIEF SHAW BUSY
Prospects of Highschool at Gladstone
Appear Good at Election
Consolidation of the Gladstone,
' Clackamas, Parkplace and Jennings
Lodge school districts carried by a
considerable majority at the special
school election held in the four dis
tricts Monday of this week. Glad-!
stone gave the largest vote in the
matter, the ballots being 209 to 4 in
favor of consolidation. Parkplace
voted 37 to 28 in favor of consolida
tion, and Clackamas voted 38 to 33
in favor. In Jennings Lodge the
vote was 45 against and 3 for.
The election was merely for the
purpose of consolidating the districts.
Now that this has carried, another
election will be held to raise funds
for the construction of the high
' school, which will be erected on a
three-acre plot in Gladstone park do
nated by H. E. Cross. The new
highschool will give these four dis
tricts a union highschool convenient
tn all carts of the territory effected,
onH will make it unnecessary for
children living in the region to at
tend the Oregon City highschool and
pay the heavy tuition charged non
resident pupus. ,
It is proposed to erect a modern
highschool, so planned that it may
be enlarged as the need requires; and
to have it equipped with every
modern improvement to meet the re
quirements of the state standard.

ed into Oregon City Monday even
ing with several bottles of beer, and
were promtly picked up by Chief of
Police Ed Shaw. While Grossmiller
was being escorted to the city bas
tile the other members of the party
departed, but later in the evening
Chief Shaw and Patrolman Wood
ward overhauled Schroeder and
Mohnke, and the jitney driver came
in and surrendered when he was told
that he was wanted.
Recorder Loder gave the men pre
liminary hearing in the jail corrider,
and bound all hands over in the sum
of $25 for trial later. Chief of Po

for his quick work in apprehending
the party, overhauling and arresting
them almost as soon as they came
within the city limits.
ELEVATOR AT WORK

gentle habit of physicians in 'split
ting fees," and before any surgeon
can be admitted to membership he
or she must sign a declaration which
reads as follows: '
"I hereby promise upon my honor
as a gentleman that I will not, so
long as I am a Fellow of the Ameri
can College of Surgeons, practice di
vision of fees in any form; neither
by collecting fees for others refer-
ring patients to me; nor by permit
ting them to collect my fees for me;
nor will I make joint fees with phy
sicians or surgeons referring patients
to me for operation or consultation;
neither will I in any way, directly or
indirectly, compensate anyone refer
ring patients to me; nor will I utilize
any man as an assistant as a sub
terfuge for this purpose.
This action, and the declaration,
are the outgrowths of a practice
which has become frequent in medic
al circles lately of "putting patients
through" and dividing the profits.
Reputable physicians and surgeons
have rebelled at the scheme, and see
ing the manner in which usual consul
tation privileges have been made the
basis of a neat graft, have taken the
action for their own protection. In
cidentally the practice has been con
demned in strong terms by many
doctors, the Journal of the American
Medical Association for April 24,
1915 quoting a general condemnation
of fee-splitting by Jas. G. Mumford,
which appeared in the Clifton Medic
al Bulletin.
"Fee-splitting" appears to be an
outgrowth of specialization. It is
usually carried on by a group of doc
tors and specialists, who unite for
profit, and maybe for the good of
their patients. A patient visits a
doctor and asks the medical man to
tell him what is 'wrong. The doctor
looks wise, feels the patients pulse,
looks at his tongue, charges him
three dollars, and then advises him
to see Ur. Brown, who is a nose and
throat specialist. The patient goes
to Dr. Brown, has his nose and throat
sprayed, pays five dollars, and is told
to see Dr. Green, the surgeon. Doc.
Green pummels the patient, tells him
he has appendicitis probably, and also
a compound fracture of the medula
obligata or something like that
and advises him to see Dr. Killem,
the X-ray specialist. Dr. Killem
looks through the patient, sees ten
dollars yet in his clothes, takes five
of that," and passes the patient on to
Dr. Smith, who is touted as a nerve
specialist. Dr. Smith takes the man's
last five bucks, tells him to grab the
electric light wires twice a day, and
ships him back to the first doctor.
Then all the doctors get together
and give the first man a percentage.
The scheme works both ways, any
doctor getting a patient "putting
him through" the rest of the circle
for "further examination." Some
times a dentist is rung in on the deal,
too depending on how prosperous
the patient looks.
This scheme has brought on a gen
eral distrust of doctors, and for the
preservation of the profession, rep
utable doctors are forming a move
ment against the scheme.
munity and should be allotted to in
dividuals subject to conformity with
community custom. If anyone did
not want to conform he would be at
liberty to sell out and to remove to
some other community where the
customs would suit him.
This would save all the trouble
about enforcement of laws 'and all
the expense of legislation. A com
munity ought to be a unity. That is
the people ought to be united in
some bonds of good will arid brother
hood, so that each member should
be reconized as a member with equal
rights with every other according to
his usefulness.
But under capitalist law a com
munity is a disunity, a' discordant ag
gregation of congruous elements',
whose chief interest is in their, quar
rels, hates and grouches. And it
cannot be otherwise as long as steal
ing is legalized. Through the per
mission of rent and interest and prof
it. Rent is robbery, interest is theft
and profit is rougery. These are
fundamental truths and until the peo
ple learn this they will only have in
creasing discoid and distinction, as
these coils accumulate wealth in the
hands of idlers and rob the producers
Rent, interest and profit are viola
tions of the commandments "Thou
Shalt Not Steal" and so long as
stealing is permitted under the cov
er of law and cheating rewarded,
while honesty is dispised, there can
never be any real bonds of unity or
community among the people.
Deeds, contracts, bonds notes and
other legal instruments for the extor
tion of rent and interest and profit;
are the destructive elements in the
present society. The bonds of Shy
lock are not the bonds of brother
hood. There is no brotherhood be
tween the money-lender and his vic
tim any more than there is between
wolf and a lamb. And the whole
machinery of law is at present oper
ated in the interest of this graft. If
robbery was abolished, then the whole
machinery of capitalist law might go
in the junk heap. For organized
government as we have it now, is
merely organized robbery in the in-
erests of bondholders and landlords,
Communities can be formed on
constructive principals as soon as
groups of people become instructed
in the laws of order and manifest a
willingness to demonstrate the super
iority of peace and good will over
the discords and hates that are des
tined soon to rend this rotten capital
ist society to its full distruction,

its end.

Mr. Myers knows better than to
charge that "white slave procurers"
infest Oregon City picture theatres.
He ought to know that most of the
"popular'' white slave peril is pure
moonshine. Mr. Myers should re
member that when John D. Rocke
feller obtained the services of a Fed
eral Secret Service agent to investi
gate the white slave pern some
years ago, this man was able to buy
but two white slaves in the whole
United States and Alaska, in spite of
the fact that he had the Rockefeller
millions behind him. He "bought'
one slave in the South, a negro wo
man; and he "bought another in
Alaska a French woman of the un
derworld.
Maybe this investigator didn't vis
it Oregon City. If Mr. Myers knows
of any "white slavers" in this- neck
of the woods, and will submit his evi
dence to the Courier, THIS PAPER
WILL DO ITS UTMOST TO PUT
ANY LOCAL WHITE SLAVERS

CHILDREN TO DRILL
WORK FOR HOME TRADE
Campaign for Adoption of Bingham
Bill Started in Portland
In an effort to stimulate the use
of Oregon manufactured goods and
Oregon labor, the Chamber of Com
merce of Portland has begun a cam
paign through its' bureau of indus
tries and manufactures to take ad
vantage of the Bingham bill which
becomes effective as a law this
month, and which was passed at the
last legislative session.
The Bingham bill gives a prefer
ential of five percent in favor of
goods manufactured in Oregon, or in
favor of Oregon labor, in the consid
eration of competitive bidding before
county courts, boards of county com
missioners, school boards, city coun
cils, or oth erpublic officers author
ized to purchase supplies or contract
for labor.
"In plainer English, a purchasing
officer is authorized to accept as the
lowest bid for labor or supplies that
offeerd by representatives of Oregon
products, if the bid of the latter is
not more than five percent higher
than the lowest bidder from any
other state," said ' George D. Lee,
secretary of the bureau. "It is in
tended to counterbalance the differ
ence in the cost of production, as be
tween local and foreign concerns. It
somewhat adds to the handicap of
the foreign manufacturer represent
ed by freight rates, and it should
prove an encourgaement to the estab
lishment of factories for the manu
facture of those items needed in the
building of roads and bridges and
materials consumed by municipal
purchase.
"Senator Bingham introduced the
bill after consultation with repre
sentatives of the organizations which
have been struggling to enlarge the
market for those factories already
here and to pave the way for others
yet to be secured. ' V
"In the opinion of David M. Dunne,
and other pioneer manufacturers,
the Bingham measure will prove of
great value."
W. C. T. U. Meets

Fajicv Evolutions on Courthouse
Lawn To Be Booster Day Feature
Among the several attractions
arranged for Booster Day will be a
series of fancy dances, folk dances
and military evolutions by Oregon
City school children on the court
house lawn. The young folk have
been practicing steadily for this, and
their exhibition promises to be among
the most attractive on the big program.
Aside from this City Superintend
ent F. J. S. Tooze has made arrange
ments for a display of the work of
pupils in the county seat schools, to
be held in the vacant store room on
the main floor of the Weinhard
building, directly opposite the court
house. Exhibits of work from all
grades and classes of the grammar
and highschools will be on view, and
some extra fine things are promised.
Of particular interest will be the
displays of manual training and do
mestic science work, much ot whicn
will subsequently be sent to the
county fair at Canby, and to the
state fair at Salem.

NOVEL EXHIBIT MADE
Miniature Railroad Trains Shown jn
Trip at Frisco Fair
Four western railways have coop
erated in building an interesting ex
hibit in the Transportation Building
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
It consists of a globe, approximately
50 ft. in diameter, which on one face
carries a large relief map of North
America. Between the points rep
resenting San Francisco and St.
Louis miniature trains, which are
produced by an ingenious electrical
arrangement, flit across the map at
frequent intervals. The trip is made
in three minutes, and as a train pass
es through different cities along the
line the names of the places are il
luminated electrically. Surrounding
the globe, and separated by arches
leading to its interior, are figures
symbolic of transportation, agricul
ture, recreation and industries. On
the inside of the globe are reproduc

This ad is published to introduce to the farmer, a cheap and
yet an efficient way of clearing land. You are paying taxes on
that stump land; why not make it pay you money? You say that
powder is too expensive and dangerous and that you have to pay
an experienced powder-man high wages; you say it costs from
one hundred to two hundred dollars an acre and that you cannot
afford it. I say that you can afford it and you don't need powder
or a poder-man; you don't need danger or noise. How? Why
the ECONOMY STUMP and CORDWOOD Sl'LlTTER will do it.
It splits the stumps up and pulls them and out and you do not
have to blow up an acre of ground to get a five foot stump out.
Let us demonstrate this wonderful machine to you. Don't buy
any more powder until you have seen this machine work. You
can clear land with one of these machines for one-third of the cost
of the old way and the only expense connected with it is the wages
of the two men. The work is easy and anyone can operate this
simple and uncomplicated machine. There are three sizes built,
fifty, one hundred and two hundred tons pressure machines.
