HEALTH
OFFICIALS
BIG SQUAD SHIRKS DUTY
With Arm j of Dlwaw Fighters
Costing $50,000 Yearly, Prose
cutions fry Tno Employes
Only Are Recorded.
In spite of mmwroui alleged violations
' of health lavs of Portland and the state.
and of oft-repeated mortality among
children, none of the numerous Health
Boards, whose Ion payrolls oost taxpay
er big sums of money, have made any
. prosecutions of violators of the laws.
Bach of the Health Boards denies Its own
responsibility and shifts the blame off on
other officials. Court records show not a
single prosecution instituted by the State
Board of Health or the City Board of
Health in the state, the county, or the
city courts." except one, started a few
days ago by City Milk Inspector Mack
against a dirty dairyman of Columbia
Slough.
Of all the numerous warm of salary-
drawing officials, only two have shown
any activity in bringing violators of the
law to justice. One Is State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Bailey, who has made i
63 prosecutions In Multnomah County
alone, mostly of dairymen, all of them
successfully, compelling them to pay fliys
of between $25 and $50 in each case. The
other official is Mrs. Sarah A. Evans,
City Market Inspector, who has success
fully prosecuted 18 of 31 complaints, net
ting to the city treasury fines amounting
in an to tzzs.
Many Feed on Treasury.
The number of the official brood that
re fed from the treasury of taxpayers
can be better understood when it is point
ed out that the State Board of Health
consists of five members and a Health
Officer, who draw from the state JWuO j
a year: that there are also a State Bac
teriologist and a State Biologist, a State
Sheep Inspector, a State Veterinarian, a
State Domestic Animal Commission, a
State VeteVlnarlan Board, a State Board
of Sheep Commissioners, a State Dairy
ana iood Commissioner and four dotu-
tles. all of whom are required by law to
. co-operate for the health of animals
with the officials who - are directly ac
countable for the protection of human
health; a" County Board of Health and
a County Physician in Multnomah, who
cost the county $100 a year; a City Board j
or Health, consisting of five members.
a City Physician, a City Health Officer,
a City Milk Inspector, a City Market In
spector, four Public School Medical In
spectors, a Plumbing Inspector, a Build
ing Inspector and a nurse at the pest-
jiouse.
This imposing array costs the city
joamj a year ana tne state an additional
$23,000 a year, and to show for it all
are prosecutions by only two official!
Both the State Board of Health and the
City Board of Health deny responsibility
lor tne nircy dairies that are said to
exist around Portland, although the laws
give them complete power to ferret out
.vorrenders and bring them before the bar
or justice. All of these duty -shirking ofn-
ciais aver that the responsibility for
making prosecutions rests elsewhere than
upon tnetr own shoulders. The State
isoara or Health blames J. W. Bailey,
state Dairy and Food Commissioner, and
mat official retorts by pointing to his
own record of prosecutions in contrast
with the absence of such a record of the
state Hoard of Health.
Yenney Talks for Board.
iu Biaie noara or Health Is an
advisory board and not a prosecuting
agency under normal conditions," said
Dr. R. C. Tenney, secretary of the State
aoara or Health, yesterday. "Every
county In the state constitutes a unit and
each has Its own County Board of Health.
uuumun 10 inese organizations, prac
tically every city and town has Its own
Health Board. It never has been the
policy of the State Health Board to In
trude on the functions of these boards or
to undertake to usurp the powers of the
btate uairy and Food Commissioner, un-
less the health laws of the state. were
Detntr flagrantly violated.
"When such a condition is discovered.
the officers of the State Board of Health
act. It has not heretofore been necessarv
for us to undertake the enforcement of
tne health laws of the state and anv
action we may take now or In the future
Is designed only In the interest of the
Pudiic neaitn. That action is only taken
- when we consider that the health laws
are not Deing enforced properly by the
oinciaia expected to perform that duty.
combining manifestly Is wrong with
conditions In Portland. I Would not be
surprised If the death rate among chil-
oren unaer 3 years of age for the last
wo years in tnis city equals that of
vnicago. urmnnruy the death of Infants
Is the result of one of three causes,
namely, hot weather, bad water or bad
milk. We do not have extreme hot or
t cold weather and our source of water
supply Is the best. Consequently, the ex
traordinary death rate among infants in
Portland must be attributed to an Impure
milk . supply. As an organization, the
State Board of Health will sok to Im
prove the quality of that supply."

the comfortable position of being able to choose where it will, and of insisting on. every trade advan

personal perfection on our part, but to the fact that we sell more shoes than any other house in the
city, and meet our obligations promptly. This is the reason why you find at our stores, at the various
prices, better shoes than the same prices will secure at other stores; the reason why we are able
to satisfy the customer with $2.50 to spend, as consistently as the customer with $6.00 to spend.

Our business, while general, is highly specialized. Whether your shoe price is $2.50 or $6 or

LIQUOR LAW VIOLATORS TO BE
INVESTIGATED.
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank Will
Likely Come In for Probe Col
lins Case Friday.
Before swearing In the Multnomah
County grand Jury for October yesterday
morning. Circuit Judge Bronaugh took
particular" pains In his Instructions to
emphasize the liquor law, and to charge
the Jury that It should keep a sharp
lookout lor Infractions. He remarked that
occurrences still fresh in the public mind
show the need of this. He did not, how
ever, mention specifically the Joy ride In
which Mrs. Dolly Ferrara was killed.
The new grand Jury will probably In
vestigate the charges that officers of the
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank wrecked
that Institution. The work of the ex
perts Is now In shape to be presented
to the Jury. The grand Jurymen are:
W. S. Conser, u-j Williams avenue,

Company.

James McKInney, Greshara, laborer.
Only one Jury case, that of the state
against Morris Reinstein, was set for
trial yesterday, and that was continued
nntil Friday. S. Breslauer will be tried

After Judge Bronaugh had excused
those Jurors who were unable to serve,
40 were left yesterday out of 120 sub
penaed. Attorney J. M. Plttenger ob
jected to serving, because he disliked to
listen to they attorney's arguments. He
was excused. But C. W. Lambert, who
feared he would lose his position if he
served on the Jury, was retained. He Is

PORTLAND, Oct. 4. (To the Editor.)
I recently saw a news report In The Ore
gonlan describing Commander Peary's
influence over the Flskimo and that they
held hirri In such high regard that they
called him "Peuk," -which In their lan
guage means "next to God." In the es
timation of the average American citizen
Peary is rather far removed from godli
ness, and a change In the lettering of the
Eskimo word by placing the second letter
at the end of the other three, would come
very near to a more appropriate name.
