6 TIIE MORNING OltEGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1917. VETERANS FAVOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE First Oregon Asks for Sup port of Guard Until De j fense Is Created. SYSTEM DECLARED WRONG Major Offley, of Vancouver Post, Pleads for Military Training Which W ill Apply to En i li tire Male Population. A condemnation of the present mili tary system, the need, for universal training- and pleas for the support of the National Guard until Congress pro vides some better defense, were re flected in a score of speeches last night, when the first annual meeting of the veterans of the First Regiment, Oregon National Guard, met at the Multnomah Hotel. A banquet preceded the speaking, in which officers of the regular Army, officers of the present Guard regiment and representatives of each of the companies that formed the First Regi ment participated, and over which Gen eral Charles F. Beebe. regimental com mander of the First, presided. Many Veterans Present. More than 150 -veterans gathered .round the banquet table and listened to others recounting the trials that were overcome in the formation of the first regiment of state troops. This organization is yet active, although members served their country 25 years ago, and it is probable that the vet erans' association will be a conspicuous figure in. fighting for a better military defense programme. The need for better military train ing and a 'more adequate defense was first voiced by Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, who spoke in behalf of Dr. Brown, one time pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and the first chaplain of the First Regiment. His sentiments were Indorsed by Colonel Gardner, United States Army, retired, who was formerly atteched to the Sixteenth United States Infantry. Another of the speakers that fol lowed these two was Major R. C. Offley, of the Vancouver post, who has lately returned from the border. System Declared Wrong. "Our whole military system, if it could be said that we have one," said Major Offley, "is wrong. Any system that is founded on anything else than a theory that every man should have adequate training is worse than wrong it i3 rotten." Here is what others had to say: Colonel H. C. Cabell, U. S. A We live in the age of the highest military efficiency, yet the position of the United States as an adequately prepared Na tion is pitiful. We must do some mis sionary work and make the public see the need of some efficient system. The argument raised by pacifism that training the youth teads to militarism is an absurdity. We should prepare adequately and then set an example of righteousness with dignity and power. Captain Clarence Hotchkiss. of the Third Oregon Our system is entirely wrong. We have been striving to make the best of it, and we want your hearty support until some better system is provided by the competent authorities. Lieutenant-Colonel John L. May, commanding the Third Oregon Under the present act it is impossible to build up an adequate defense. Until that time comes when Congress shall pass legislation putting our Nation at least on an equal footing with any other nation we want your support in making the Third Oregon the best or ganization possible. Greetings Sent to Border Men. Others who spoke were Ralph W. Wilbur, representing the non-Ammls-sloned officers of the First Oregon; Judge C. U. Gantenbein, representing the field and staff officers; Colonel C. K. Morgan, of Company E; Harry W. Hogue, of Company G; J. A. McKinnon, of Company H, and others. A toast to General Owen Summers, leader of the Second Oregon and be loved by all militiamen, was proposed by General Beebe. , Upon motion a committee was named to send a greeting to the officers and men of Battery A and Troop A at the border and to arrange to find work for them when they return to Portland. their time.' to public business would be only fair. Whether the salary Increase meas ure is passed or- not, it is certain to contain such a provision. NEWSMEN T0SEE FILM "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under Sea" Has Special Presentation.

SALARY RISE IS PROPOSED Commmlssloners May Be Required to Devote Whole Time to Work. The proposed increase in the salary of the County Commissioners of Mult nomah County from the present J150 a month basis to $250 & month is re ceiving careful attention from the members of the Multnomah delegation. Although the opinion of the delega tion appears to favor the increase, pro vided it is made conditional on the re quirement that if their salary is made $200 or $250 a month the Commission ers give up any outside business and devote their entire time to county af fairs. This is required of Portland City Commissioners under the charter, and the Legislators feel that the same rule should apply to the County Com' mlssioners if their salaries are In creased, and that for them to give all What to Do for Eczema Greasy salves and ointments should not be applied if "good clear skin is wanted. From any druggist for 25c or $1.00 for extra large size, get a bottle of zemo. When applied as directed, it effectively removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns, wounds and chafing. It penetrates, cleanses and soothes. Zemo is a clean, dependable and inex pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid. Try it, as "we believe nothing you have ever used is as effective and satisfying. The E. W.

MANY STATES HAVE LAW ' - Effort Is Being Made to Bring About Absolute Truth In All Statements About Goods and Many Cases Are Investigated. A determined effort will be made by the Portland Ad Club to uphold the city ordinance against misleading ad vertising. The ordinance was passed through the efforts of the Ad Club in May, 1913, and it has been attacked as unconstitutional through the case brought against I. Aronson, of this city, by the Ad Club last month. Opposition to the ordinance will be brought to bear next Saturday before Judge Gantenbein, when an opportu nity will be given to show cause why a temporary restraining order, pre venting the full operation of the ordi nance, should not be issued. The in junction has been asked by Mr. Aron son as he alleges it deprives him of In herent rights guaranteed him by the constitution. Ad Club Employs Counsel. Attorneys W. B. Shively and Fred erick R. Whitfield have been retained by the Ad Club to assist City Attorney La Roche and his deputy, Stanley Myers, in upholding the ordinance. The Portland Ad Club holds member ship in the Associated Advertising Clubs of America, and in effecting the adoption of the Portland ordinance followed the lead of the larger or ganization, which in 1912 declared a Nation-wide war on objectionable ad vertising of all descriptions. In upholding the. hands of the au thorities in enforcing the city ordi nance and a state law looking toward greater truth in advertising, the Port land Ad Club has Initiated 12 prose cutions during the years 1914 and 1913 for violations of the law. Hundreds of Cases Investigated. In addition, the Ad Club has investi gated hundreds of advertisements throughout the city and state and has been successful in correcting a great many advertisements that were untrue or misleading. The better business bu reau of the Ad Club has had direct charge of this vigilance work and the club members feel their efforts have been productive of much ' good. A model statute, that is the basis for the Portland city ordinance, was drafted by H. D. Nims, of the New York bar, one of the foremost attor neys in the United States. This law, which has become known as-the Printers' Ink Model Statute, has, either in its original form or with slight modifications, been enacted into law by 35 states and territories, in cluding Hawaii, and has been enacted as ordinances by innumerable cities of the United States, including Portland. Many States Have Uir, The following states have laws againts misleading and dishonest advertising: Oregon Utah Connecticut Massachusetts Montana West Virginia North Carolina Virginia Pennsylvania Iowa Michigan Oklahoma South Dakota Illinois Tennessee Wisconsin Hawaii duced in the coming Legislature. - The intention of those favoring such a measure is to model it after the New York and Wisconsin , boxing laws, which, are said to have worked out satisfactorily. In these two states boxing commissions have supervision over all bouts. The members of the proposed Oregon commission would serve without sal ary and would be the final authority on all questions arising in connection with the ring sport. Part of the proceeds from every match would go to the state. No bouts would be permitted until a regularly licensed physician had certified to the physical fitness of the contestants. There Is some question whether the time is ripe for consideration of a box ing law by the Legislature, and it has not been settled whether the proposed measure will be introduced at this ses sion or at some future session.

City Property, Affected by Overflow and Seepage, Will Be Provided With Drainage System. PRINEVILLE, Or., Jan. 3. (Special.) The case of the city" of Prineville vs. the Ochoco & Rye Grass Irrigation Company, a private corporation and one of the pioneer irrigation compa nies of this section, has finally been settled. This ditch is commonly known as the Prlngle ditch, having been first owned and operated by the late O. M. frlngle. After the right of way had been granted, Prineville expanded and by an addition to the city this ditch was included in the city limits. In 1914 the city brought suit, al leging that the irrigation company per mitted seepage from the ditch to over flow the streets and private property. The case was begun before Judge Bradshaw, who ruled against the ditch company and issued a restraining or der enjoining the company from using this ditch until it was made secure against seepage, which meant a con crete lining. The company felt they were not financially able to make the required repairs, consequently the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. Settlement finally was reached be tween the company and. city, and the attorneys in the case instructed to stipulate for vacation of the order. The settlement is a compromise and pro vides for a drainage system for the property arrected. Some of the best land In Crook Coun ty is under this ditch, and the settle ment of this suit conies as a great re lief to tne farmers In this section.
