OBJECTIONS NOT TENABLE
Many Institutions Have Already
Sent In Cards and Others Are
Expected to Reply Soon.
That the child welfare commission
was merely complying with the law
In asking- for individual records of
all the wards of child-caring agen
cies in Portland was the- answer
given yesterday by Franklin Thomas,
chairman of the commission, in reply
to objections voiced by several local
institutions.
It had been claimed by the Waver
loy baby home, the Boys' and Girls'
Aid society, the Pacific Coast Res
cue and I'rotective society and pos
sibly one other organization that by
divulging personal information to the
commission it would no longer be
confidential. Another contention was
that the law requires homes to ac
count only for the relationship and
location of its wards.
The commission has called for a
number of additional facts, about 27
in all. and in order to catalogue
them sent out blank cards for each
child in each Institution.
This card." said Mr. Thomas yes
terday, "was sent out when Dr. E. w.
DeBusk was still chairman of the
commission and before I was made
a member. When I came on a num
ber of replies had already been re
ceived, but a few had not complied
with our request. We sent out an
other note asking them to do so
within a reasonable time. We have
had several answers, but three or
four continue to withhold the Infor
mation. Law Contain Another Clause.
'There should be no objection to the
request, a the same 1919 law, which
has been quoted as limiting us to two
items, also contains another clause
reading as follows: 'The commission
Is hereby given right of entrance,
privilege of inspection and access to
all accounts and records of work and
children for the purpose of ascertain
ing the kind and quality of work done
and to obtain proper bases for deci
sions and recommendations.'
"The institutions that have already
filled out the cards have made no
complaint. We aren't assuming that
any of the institutions are doing bad
ly by their wards right now. but the
personnel of their boards may change
In time and a case might come up
where we would have trouble and
would be found without complete rec
ords. "If we have a right to access to the
records we aren't violating any laws
by asking to have copies of these rec
ords. If we haven't a right we want
to be reasonable about the matter.
"I am sorry this matter has been
rushed into print. I should have been
more than glad to talk it all over
with representatives of these agen
cies, but thus far only one society
has shown any desire to do so. In
fact, except for what I have heard
indirectly, I have no knowledge of
any objections being raised against
our procedure. I have Just had a
conference with the trustees of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid society at their
invitation and the conference was a
most pleasant one. They raised two
or three objections to our question
naire which I shall carry to the com
mission. Matter Easily Adjusted.
"Personally I feel sure that the
whole matter can be adjusted with
them without further difficulty. All
of which goes to show how much
better it is to get together and talk
things over than to rush our objec
tions into print.
"As to recent public statements at
tributed to W. G. MacLaren of the
Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective
society with regard to giving data as
to health of its wards, I have nothing
to add to what I have already said.
I have seen Mr. MacLaren three times
since the questionnaire went out and
he did not say one single word about
it. I am loathe to believe that he
would make the statements attributed
to him without first making known
his objections to me."

Democrat Files Declaration for Na

George I. Smith Is the first demo

plenty of candidates for delegate-at-large
and for the First and Second
districts, but in Multnomah county,
which comprises the Third district,
democrats have been hanging back.
Yesterday Mr. Smith decided to break
the ice and filed his declaration. He
has been a resident of Portland for
the past quarter of a century and
has been active in democratic poli
tics during that period. In 1912 he
was president of the Jackson club.
