Adjutant-General White Still Hope
ful or Seeing Great Federal
Training; Plan Inaugurated.
SALEM, Or., May t. (Special.)
"Failure of congress to pass anything
in the way of progressive military
legislation means that the country is
right back to where it was before the
war co far as preparedness is con
cerned and it means that the old
problem of national defense falls right
back in a large degree upon the shoul
ders of the national guard of the
country."
This is the view expressed by George
A. "White, who has resumed his duties
as adjutant-general of the state after
two years with the American expe
ditionary forces abroad and who ad
mits his disappointment that the coun
try has fallen back upon the old vol
unteer system without any provision
for a systematic plan for training
the whole youth of the land in higher
citizenship.
"However. I look for a great fed
eral training plan in due time,"
Colonel White added, optimistically,
"since I believe the lessons of the re
cent war will be applied in due time."
Problem Closely Studied.
Just how to stimulate interest and
sustain morale in the national guard
of the state is a problem which Colo
nel White and the members of the
state general staff are studying close
ly now that the guard has again been
set down as the backbone of national
defense. A great deal of progress
has been made in getting the national
guard in Oregon up to the strength
apportioned to the state by the war
department. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars' worth of equipment . has
been received from the government's
arsenals and warehouses, so that the
service is being rapidly equipped with
brand new military stores of every
kind. The government has also sent
two regular army colonels and five
army non-commissioned officers to
Oregon and attached them to the na
tional guard here to assist in -the in
struction and organization adminis
tration. Rifle practice, pistol practice, a
period of two weeks of field maneu
vers with army troops at Camp Lewis,
a school for officers and non-commissioned
officers at Vancouver, and the
ttate and national rifle competitions
are part of the interesting military
programme for the present spring and
summer. The field maneuvers will be
held during July, when the organl
cations from all parts of the state will
be taken in federal troop trains to the
Puget sound district. The instruction
programme is now being worked out
by the western department of the
army at San Francisco. The men will
receive all their expenses and be paid
for the time spent away from home
The fruard as now made up consists
of a regiment of infantry, the 3d
Oregon (reorganized) and three com
panies of coast artillery and a com
pany of engineers. When the guard
was mobilized in 1917 there was, in
addition to the 3d infantry, a full
regiment of coast artillery, a squad
ron of cavalry, a battalion of engi
neers, two batteries of field artillery
and a field hospital company. It is
planned to build up the present organ
ization as soon as funds are available
from state and government. A full
regiment of heavy artillery is listed
among the plans for future expansion,
the equipment to be six-inch cannon,
tractor drawn. The present coast ar
tillery may be equipped with the big
cannon within the next few months,
it is said, and arrangements have al
ready been made to send the coast
artillery units to the Puget sound dis
trict for heavy artillery practice in
July , instead of to the coast defense
forts.
l'olt Accepted by Government.
The present distribution of the new
Oregon national guard and the num
ber of men carried on the rolls of each
organizaton is as follows:
Third infantry: regimental head
quarters company, supply and machine
gun companies andlettered companies
B, E, F, G and H, Portland: company
C, Eugene; company D, Medford; com
pany A, McMinnville; company L,
Dallas; company I. Silverton and
Woodbuxn; company K, Independ
ence; company M, Salem. otrengtn,
51 officers, 934 men.
Coast artillery: first company, Ash
land; second company, Marshfield:
third company. Newport. Strength, 8
officers and 208 men. .
Engineers; company A, Portland.
Strength, 4 officers, 114 men.
Practically all of these units have
been accepted by the'government and
the majority of them have qualified
for federal pay for armory drills. The
Dalles company'has not yet qualified
foT acceptance by the government and
two of the lettered companies at Port
land are said to have fallen below all
the requirements at recent federal
inspection, which may result in their
disbandment or consolidation.
Two organizations are now being
formed, battery A at Portland and" a
field hospital, at La Grande. World
war veterans are taking the lead in
getting both these units ready for in
spections. The staff plans also to put
companies later at Roseburg and Al
bany, where the state armories now
stand vacant.
STATE MAY HAVE TP PAY
$240,000 CLAIMED FOR PAVE
MENT ROYALTIES.
Highway Department Said to Hare
Infringed Patents Property
of Warren Brothers.
SALEM,"" Or.. May 4. (Special.)
Because the state highway depart
ment is alleged to have infringed
upon paving patents of Warren
Brothers in disregard of a legal opin
ion submitted by Attorney-General
Brown, the state now faces the pos
sibility of having to pay to the cor
poration , approximately 8240,000 In
royalties.
Roy Klein, secretary of the com
mission, announced Monday that when
Warren Brothers' alleged patent ex
pires on May 5, the state will have
laid approximately 1,200,000 yards of
this pavement. On a royalty basis of
20 cents a yard, as claimed by Warren
Brothers, there will be due from the
state 8240,000. Had the weather been
more favorable this spring Mr. Klein
says much more of this pavement
would have been laid. "
Whether the state will be obliged
eventually to pay the royalties
claimed probably will be determined
by a suit filed recently by the cor
poration in federal court. In this ac
tion Warren Brothers seek to enjoin
Oscar Huber, now engaged in con
structing state highways, from lay
ing any more of the pavement covered
by the alleged patent, and to recover
damages equivalent to royalty at the
rate of 20 cents a yard.
Under a state law the highway de
partment has assumed all financial
responsibility for Mr. Huber and the
action will be defended by Attorney-
General Brown. The defense prob
ably will hold that the patent is in
valid, although Mr. Brown says most
courts in which the question has been
tried out have held with the corpora
tion.

Special Legislative Committee. By
The above two letters, dated April 27, followed by Questionnaire, Letter No. 2 under date of April 29, are self explanatory.
DO YOU WANT TO BE ELECTED?
Heading of letter No. 1, then again I will quote from paragraph No. 2 of letter No. 2, both of which are on file at my office.
"Do you favor the development of Medicine as a science based on investigation and research of medical men covering a long period of time and would you if elected favor the regulations of the
various 'new schools' of medicine, so many of which have come into existence in the past few years?" -
After acknowledging profound respect for the liberal-minded physicians and surgeons of our city, of whom there are many, I wish to make a few observations directed to the few who are making this effort to Germanize our legislature ami to gather
to their profession and for themselves autocratic power.
The accompanying letter, states: "You Trill be given an opportunity to state your qualifications."
Qualifications for the Legislature, in the eyes of this group of men, 'consist only In the subserviency of the candidate to'the will and wish of these men, who are now assuming claims over the will and conscience or other men.
In effect, they state for the whole people of Multnomah county, and to the men who offer themselves to the whole people of the county: "We are the authority, we are the Judge, and we are the Instrument through which and by which 500 rnn he elected,
and without which influence you must Ignominionsly.f ail."
In other. words, "After hearing your qualifications WE will JIDGB as to your fitness, and your fitness will depend. upon whether'or not you will get down on your knees and pledge your life, year aoul and your sacred "honor to u."
By this manifesto, this group ' want the candidate to pledge himself before election to support monopoly of method and business in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
In 1919 professional lobbyists, employed by the American Medical Association, urged in congress seven different bills for the creation of a so-called Krderal Department of Public Health. These bills called for the appropriation of forty-eight million dollars
for Institutions operated by medical doctors; and for ten million dollars to carry on a so-called Department of Education for Medical Doctors. In. other words, to create a Pension Department for the cause of the M. D. lest he misiht pcrarl venture be starved out by
the ordinary course of evolution and progress. All the work pertaining to public health proposed by these bills, was at that time being done by other branches of the Government and obviously, therefore, there could have been no other purpose.
The purpose of such legislation waa to foster monopoly in the Interest or the American Medical Association under the cloak of a Krdrral Department of Public Health. In every State of the Union, -the American Medical Association has passed laws under
which practitioners of all other schools have been prosecuted and in some instances jailed and humiliated and in the above proposed measures they only sought to Federalize authority to do the same thing.
The bills introduced at that time, and still being attempted, not only at Washington, but clear down to the Turkish Room of the Portland Hotel, would tike from the American citizen the right to choose the method or healing that seems good to him; every
other practitioner would be driven out of business and only prescriptive writers would survive. Nothing more Infamous has ever been proposed.
Note the emphasis put on the "new schools" in their challenge to candidates for the legislature. They do not want anything new or progressive built upon research with progress unvexed
For two thousand years they have been the custodians of the people's health. They have occupied this field with undisputed sway all this time: and if they had made good, no other methods of healing would have appeared, and certainly would not have
flourished; bnt long continued failures have art the people thinking; and newer and better methods of combating diseases arc being discovered; and this cult of ancient medicine men, seeing their field invaded, rush to the law makers, national and state, county
and precinct, for protection, that their monopoly may not ,be disturbed.
If Materia Medica were the only, or the best, road to health and. higher efficiency, it would be complacent and confident In the assurance of its strength and the Justice of its position. It would not need to be bolstered up by law.
This campaign to invade the next legislature shows the last stage of a falling; cmh, which, like other dogmas In the past, founded on wrong; hypothesis, have first tried to frown down advancement with prejudice and. falling in ttai, kair sought legal protection.
There are now. in active practice in the United States, 40,000 varloirs drugless physicians. They are all doing good. In fact, the very poorest of them are doing, better than can be done with drugs. Thla la proven by 45.000,000 people who have been helped or
cured, and who believe In drugless therapy.
The laws that are being attempted, under the cloak of conserving; public health, would deprive these millions of their inalienable right to be free.
It would make criminals of those who undertook to practice any ysteni except that prescribed by the American Medical Association. Such Iws would force the United Stales Government to turn aside from Justice and lofty ideals, to prosecute, at public
expense, her noble sons and daughters outside the Medical Association, who attempted to administer to the sick and suffering. Thus would the government unwittingly levy a tax on 45,000,000 of good people, who want drugless therapy, to bolster up the medical
profession. ,
't his in a mean conception to have had Its origin In the brains of man. The only way thla pernicious attempt a law making can be prevented la to elect to congress and to the legislature fair minded men and women.
No candidate should be asked to do more than to be fair and Just. And when he is elected and enters upon the discharge of his duties, he should be bound by no pre-election pledges that would come between him and the discharge of bis duty to a.11 of the people.
ANY MAN, OR SK.T OK IEX, WHO WOIXD SEEK TO BIND BY PLEDGES, SHOULD BE SPIRNED BV THE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE LEGISLATORS! LIKEWISE, A LEGISLATOR WHO, TO SECURE SUPPORT, WILL SUCCUMB TO THE BLANDISHMENT,
THREATS OR FLATTER' OF A CLASS, IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
There is but ONE pledge that a man should make who seeks the suffrage of the people, and that is thafhe will do his DUTY, as God gives him power to know his duty; that he will ever have In the foreground of his thoughts the welfare of, not any cult or
Class, but of the WHOLE PEOPLE.
This is a government "of the people, by the people and for the people"; and not a government of the doctors, by the doctors and for the doctors.
""'" .
Until next election day I will address any club, societies or gatherings further on this subject; also give my opinion as to who are fair-minded candidates. . .
