PLAN TO REORGANIZE
m mm
House Against Fedaralization
. oi wanonai uuara. . i
CONSPIRACY CHARGE, MADE
Proposal Would Destroy Guard by
. Making It Part of Regular
Army, Says Opponents.
, "WASHINGTON. May 19. The house
refused today to approve a compro
mise agreement with the senate per
mitting states to federalize the na
tional guard. The vote was 209 to
108.
By Its action the house sent the
army reorganization bill back to con
ference with instructions to its man
agrera to Insist against changing the
pre-war basis of the guard organiza
tion. Answering Mr. Anthony, Chairman
Kahn of the military committee,
urged acceptance, declaring the only
question Involved was one of per
mitting each state to determine the
basis of its guard organization.
Representative Sanford, republican.
New York, another supporter of the
compromise, said under the present
system the guard, whenever called
into federal service would be humili
ated by being broken up.
The compromise was offered to
break a deadlock that blocked final
passage of the army reorganization
bill.
Senator Wadsworth, New York,
heading the senate conferees, an
nounced that he would present the
disagreement to the senate tomorrow
with a motion that the senate insist
upon the federalization of the guard.
During house debate several mem
bers attacked the senate proposal on
the ground that Its adoption would
kill the guard by making it a part
of the regular army. The new scheme
of organization also was opposed as
a step toward adoption of a system of
compulsory military training.
A message from Bennett Clark,
president of the National Guard asso
ciation of the United States, opposing
the -change, was read on the floor.
His father. Representative Champ
Clark, the democratic leader, was
among the speakers protesting
against the senate plan.
"This is a culmination of a three
year conspiracy of the general str.ff
and a certain element . in the regular
army to kill off the national guard,"
declared Representative Anthony, re
publican of Kansas.

Comparison Made by Department
of Labor Shows Portland. Well
Off, Relatively Speaking.
Although the cost of foodstuffs In
Portland during the last six years has
Increased more than in any other of
the large Pacific coast cities, the total
cost of living has not gone up quite
so much as in the other cities, accord
ing to statistics given out by the
United Stages department of labor.
The statistics show the increases in
cost of food, clothing, housing, fuel
and light, furniture and furnishings
and miscellaneous, based according to
the proportion which the average
family is supposed to spend upon each
and an effort is thus made to arrive
at a figure that will show the actual
increase in cost of living since isi.
Figures secured in December, 1914.
are taken as the basis and compared
to them are the figures for each De
cember following up to and including
1919. According to the figures there
was a slight decrease in living in
1915 over 1914, but since 1916 there
has been a steady increase.
A comparison in the four principal
cities of the Pacific coast since 1914,
considering all items, is given aa
follows:

What Kind of a Man Should Be Coroner?
The coroner should be a man trained and experienced in medicine, a man of unimpeachable record,
a man who has the confidence of the medical profession, a man "who is not the- candidate of any
undertaker or group of undertakers, a man whose patriotism should be paramount to everything else.
One candidate for, Coroner certainly qualifies under these conditions. He is Dr. H. M. .Greene,
Dr. Greene graduated from the University of Oregon Medical Department in 1904, and has been in
the active practice of medicine ever since. Dr. Greene is endorsed by practically the entire medical
profession. Dr. Greene entered the World War at the very etart. He grave "up a good practice to
answer the call of .his country when physicians were so badly needed, while his opponent, although
younger, elected to atay and enjoy the comforts of home, the income from a lucrative practice and
the pay of a public office.
If you believe that all else being equal and' to show to the boys that our promises to them have
not been forgotten '
