Aid of Public In Boosting War on Disease Stressed by Speakers at Medical Conference. s Money I V ft v ' ' - 'J V . "A militant mobilization for modern medicine that has the necessary ma chinery and personnel of competent caliber to conduct a vigorous cam paign against the visible and Invisi ble enemies of public health," was the characterization given the league for the conservation of public health, by Celestine J. Sullivan, executive secre tary of the organization, before the phybiclans and surgeons attending the tri-state medical convention at the luncheon In Multnomah hotel yes terday noon. "The league was formed to stimu late a wider and more accurate knowl edge, adoption and application of pre ventative medicine to protect the pub 11a from quackery, from unqualified service and unsound views, to promote better hospitals and better medicine in these hospitals, and to encourage the enactment and enforcement of better laws to protect the health of the public," said the speaker. Mr. Sullivan told of the campaign launched in California under the auspices of the league to eradicate quackery and to place the medical profession upon a higher plane. He explained the work being done In California by the league for the con servation of.publlc health in the Im provement and standardization of hos pitals. He said that a special study requiring constant work and travel was being made that had already Im proved hnepital conditions, raised the standards of medicine and improved the health of the state. He called at tention of the delegates to the work that was being done by H. F. Mcln turff, secretary of the local league, for the improvement of health condi tions in Oregon. Pnblle Aid Urged. The feature of the morning session ef the conference was the address by Dr. Frederick Green of Chicago, who emphasized the importance of the medical and surgical profession mak ing the public its allies in protecting health. "Physicians can accomplish nothing unless they have the support of the citizens of any state," he said. "The function of physicians should be ad visory arfH the private individual who has at heart health improvement should be the executive. That there are already too many medical associations and that the profession 's over-organized while little Is being done to organize the public was emphasised by the speaker.

North Pacific Freight Bureau to Publish Tariffs in Compliance With Washington Order. Northwest railroad rates have been scrambled by the order of the Wash- ngton state commission, suspending the application of intrastate rates in the Interstate commerce commission's decision in the Columbia basin rate case. As a result, tariffs will be pub lished by the North Pacific freight bureau in compliance with the Wash ington commission's stand, although It is directly opposed to the decision of the interstate commerce commis sion. It appears that only a man datory order- by the latter body can turn aside the effect of the Wash ington commission's order. A rate tangle of unprecedented proportions is faced by the railroads. Compliance means violation of other rulings. For one thing It will give different rates to Astoria, Puget Sound and Portland, placing the three zones on different standing, something certainly never contem plated in any possible theory of the Columbia basin case. The order of the Washington com mission in effect suspended the tariffs ordered by the interstate com merce commission, giving preferential rates from a zone south of the Snake river to Portland and Vancouver, Wash., as against Astoria, Or., and Puget sound ports, for a period of 90 days insofar as rates within the state of Washington are concerned. New Columbia basin rates were ordered Into effect July 1, and tariffs were printed. It has now been directed by the reads that a sup plement be prepared to readjust the rates in keeping with the Washing ton commission order.
