From this day forth the patent-medicine man of the effete East, who has been ac customed to buy advertising space in the country weeklies of Oregon for any old price his conscience would allow and the editor's crying: necessities force him to accept, will find himself up against the real, real thine in the matter of rates and charges. From this day forth, like wise, the needy country publisher will cease to cut his esteemed contemporary's throat, metaphorically speaking, for the purpose of securing the county printing. And last, but not least, henceforth the leading citizen who aspires to hold public office will find the rural journalist's time honored practice of giving free puffs as extinct as the dodo. 3Iust Pay lor Publicity. The politician hereafter will be com pelled to pay for all publicity he receives through the columns of the local news papers at commercial advertising rates, nor will the acceptance of .uch paid po litical advertising bind the newspaper to support the candidate who foots the bill. Like the proverbial worm, the down-trodden country editor has turned, and hence forth he will exact his price with hair splitting attention to business principles, and the motto. "Live and Let Live." at the masthead on his front page will-mean just what it says. Substance of Things Done. Tills, in substance, is what was resolved upon by the weekly newspaper editors and publishers of the state at the closing ses sion of the annual convention of the Ore gon Press Association, yesterday after noon. The meeting, held in the tower room of the Portland Commercial Club, was the largest and most enthusiastic in the history of the association, and though many other matters and things of import ance to the craft were said and done, the formation of a rock-ribbed combination to fix and maintain rates for the publication of foreign advertising, legal notices and political announcements will go dwn in the annals of Oregon newspaperdom as the first step toward the emancipation of the country editor from his bondage. Report on Uniform Tlalcs. The report of the committee on uniform advertising rates, in which the foregoing reforms were recommended, was adopted without a dissenting voice. There was an enthusiastic discussion, in the course of which the association voted to go still further in the matter of shaking off the tentacles of what were referred to as the "greedy and grasping advertising agen cies."' and decided to carry out both the letter and the spirit of the committee's report by constituting the State Press Association a great co-operative adver ting bureau, in charge of a competent agent, for tne purpose of securing the business of the foreign advertisers, nota bly the patent-medicine concerns, at a just and uniform rate for all newspapers In the association, and of literally keep ing out of the state advertisers who re fuse to pay the "union scale." The Closing .Session. The closing session of the convention bogan at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was brief, lasting but two hours. The first business disposed of 'was the election of officers, all of whom were chosen by unanimous vote. Then the report of the committee on advertising rates was taken up, and most of the remaining time given to its discussion. The only material change made in the report was the elimination of the second clause, which read: "That the law regu lating the publication of Sheriffs sales for delinquent taxes be amended so as to fix a minimum compensation of 12 cents a line, nonpareil, for the legal time of publication." During the discussion of this clause, it developed that several newspapers were receiving a larger rate than this minimum, and accordingly op posed the change Jt was finally agreed to let the law remain as It is and trust to the -fairness of the county courts to fix a living rate for such publications. Text of Committee's Report. Following is the committee's report as it was adopted: To the President and Member of the Ore son Press Association: Your committee ap pointed to consider the matter of foreign and political advertising, respectfully submits the following recommendation: That the law regulating the publication of County Court proceedings- be amended to .as to fix a minimum compensation of 25 cent jwr Inch. That all contracts for foreign advertising be made through the advertising agent of the Oregon Press Association at the rates fixed by the association, and that. In counties where members of the association compete with papers that arc not members of the as sociation, this organization pledges to its members Its full protection, and all com plaints on this subject must be taken up and vigorously acted upon by the officers of the association, the advertising agent to be al lowed per cent commission, to be paid by the publishers. All papers (members of this association) shall enter Into a written agreement with the advertising agent to abide by all con tracts entered Into by him under the rules of the association; and we recommend that all members of the association file with the advertising agent their list of contracts for foreign advertising now In effect. Vi'c recommend that all members of the Oreron Press Association discontinue thn al lowance to the publishers of ready prints for! advertising space, being fully awured that iho profit on such advertising, to say noth ing of the additional news space, will more lhan compensate the publisher for any In creased price that may bo charged for their patents, especially In view of the fact that this association purposes to protect its members. If arr&sgCBKBts satisfactory, to tfee pub lishers cannot bo made with the Portland XcwHpaper Union, the president- Is hereby instructed to call a meeting of the executive committee for the purpose of making arrange ments for the publication of ready prints at cost for members of the association. Said call to be Issued upon the request of Ave members of the association. That the following prices for electros be adopted: 1000 circulation or lesfl. per inch, run of paper, per Insertion 7 cents Reading notices, monthly changes, per line, per lnt.ortion, S-polnl basis 1 cent Purely local, one Insertion 2 cents On the matter of political advertising, we recommend that space be !d to candidates on the same basis that It 1m fold to commer cial advertisers, no contract for advertising carrying with it an express or implied obli gation binding the paper to the support of ?uch candidate, there being a minimum charge of 3f-.o0 per month for candidates' cards In advertising columns. The executive committee 1 hereby instruct ed to meet at Its earliest convenience to make arrangement for carrying out the ideas em bodied In this repoit. On the adoption of the first clause of the report there was little discussion, the necessity of putting an end to the perni cious practice of taking county printing at less than the- cost of composition, merely to prevent some rival from getting it, ap pearing self-evident to the members of the association. The second clause was first adopted, but was voted down on a motion for reconsideration. Co-Operalivc Advertising Association The announcement of the president. R. J. Hendricks, of the Salem Statesman, that the report of the committee with reference to foreign advertising rates meant nothing more nor less than that the Press Association was about to re solx'e itself into a big co-operative ad vertising agency to eliminate the middle men, the private advertising agencies, who had heretofore been reaping the profits, was hailed with a shout of approval. Mr. Hendricks went on to explain that it might mean to the DO or more papers In the association a loss of from 50 to 73 per cent of their advertising business, but that in the end the foreign advertisers would be forced to come to the associa tion's terms and patronize its members at largely increased prices. R P. Dodd. editor of the Pendleton Trib une, raised the objection that the scale was unfair to the country dailies, but was reassured when told that the association rates were Intended to apply only to the weekly jmpers. Talks of Renegade Papers. K. H. Flagg. of the St. Helens Mist, paid his respects to the newspapers which some objector prophesied would not join C. Ilnyter Dalla. Xt President Oregon Pi-cm AfffcOctatlon. the association and would cut under the association rates. Ho said lie hoped the foreign advertisers would finally pay these renegade newspapers so little for their space that they would be forced to join the association. D. R. Maginnis, an advertising agent of long experience, who happened in on the convention, was largely responsible for the radical action taken by the editors. He was called on for a speech, and told of the organization and successful opera tions of the North Star Press Association, in Minnesota. This association. Mr. Ma ginnis explained, was originally a. mere social organization which met yearly to discuss problems of the craft, but. like the Oregon association, had never really done anythlng to advance the interests of its members in a financial way. Itibllsliers Stand Pat. Several years ago the association woke up to the fact that it was getting ridicu lously low prices for Its foreign advertis ing, and as a result a combination was formed to raise rates. Mr. Maginnis was the first agent in charge, and took control on a commission basis, receiving 25 per cent. Rates were fixed at 6 cents an inch for 1000 actual circulation weekly, and every publisher stood pat. At the end of SO days a dividend was declared, and with in a year all the members were publishing more advertising than ever before and getting more money for it. "The trouble with the business as vou now carry It on," said Mr. Maginnis. '"Is that you are taken advantage of singly by the advertisers and advertising agen cies. In union there is strength, and though you must expect to meet dlscour agenfents. you will win' out if yon stick together. You will got advertising vou never dreamed of at rales you cannot now hope to attain. Throw out your boiler-plate matter. Mak your papers live local sheets, and fill them up with paid electros secured from advertisers through your association. Success In Minnesota. "Tlie North Star Press Association now has 300 members, and is a power in the Northwest. You wouldn't believe me it I told how much better it was doing in rates than the individual papers used to do. You want to get good men to handle tlils scheme for you. Tay them good commissions for getting advertising busi ness. The man in charge of the Minne sota North Star Association is now mak ing $1000 a month In commissions. But by all means stick together." Mr. Maginnis Indorsed the proposed price schedule as a whole, and answered numerous questions pumped at him by his eager listeners. Some of the editors under the stimulus of the qccasion grew confidential and actuallv to!fl llntx they were taking foreign advertising at 2 or 3 cents an inch, even. Political Advertising Considered. Following the adoption of this section of the report the political advertising clause was taken -up. The discussion was brieX and to the point. Secretary TozW heartily indorsed the concluding sentencs of the clause. "Jt will help dispel the idea many people seem to have that the opinions of an editor and the support of his news paper arc for sale to Tom, Dick and Harry," he declared. "Yes, andfit will put an end to the talk that is continually going round about candidates being held up by the news papers." added William J. Clarke, of the Gervais Star. Causes a Hearty Laugh. "They ought -to bejield up," shouted a voice in the rear of 'the room, at which the laughter caused by Mr. Clarke's re mark was increased to a hilarious roar. There was not a dissenting voice when the clause was- voted upon. The legislation committee presented the following report: "Your committee on legislation desires at this time to defer Its reports as to re sults. We respectfully &k that the mem bers of the association extend financial aid to the association committee to enable It to carry on Its work. Your committee further recommends that each Individual member of the Oregon Press Association use his influence with all legislative can didates and pledge them to assist any measure or measures that may bo re quested by the State Press Association to be passed by the next Legislature." Test Vote Taken. During a discussion of the .section of this report asking for financial aid a little Ill-feeling cropped out. It was moved and s2conded that the committee be required, to file a written report at the next meet In?, giving an itemized, account of its expenditures. The motion raised a. vigorous protest, a majority pf the association seeming to in dorse the stand of the committee, that while Its books were open It had good reasons for not allowing Its entire bus! ness to become public property by filing a report, and the motion was overwhelm ingly lost It is the intention of the association to aek the Legislature to pass a law requir ing the publication of all new laws, and the more Important proceedings of the Legislature in two newspapers in each county before the adjournment or the Legislature; also to re-enact the law re quiring the publication by the county newspapers of the official tax lists and assessments, and to secure other legisla tion that will benefit the newspapers of the state. Xteport of Treasurer. The treasurer reported a balance of M on liand after paying all bills, and this amount was on motion of President Hen dricks placed at the disposal of the com mittee on legislation. Mr. Hendricks said In support of his motion that this was an age of publicity: that good and not harm would be done by publishing court proceeding" assessment lists, lists of taxpayers, lieu lawe, etc, for the In formation of the people generally; urged the raising of a fund for the assistance of the committee on legislation, and as a result a substantial sum was contributed during a recess taken for the purpose. Bennett's Resolutions Pass. A. Bennett, editor of the Irrigon Irri gator, put and had carried two motion?. One was that the SO paid-up members of the Press Association authorize the use of their names for the purpose of com pelling the 103 newspapers not members to Join the association for the purpose of strengthening the advertising combina tion. The other that each editor present pledge himself to forward a copy of his paper regularly to Manager Tom Rich ardson, of the Commercial Club, in the Interests of publicity. Historian George H. Hincs, following the lead of the Oregon Development League's move at the morning session. Introduced the following resolution: Whereas. As representatives r the newrfpa rcrs of Oregon It Is ccnaln that our hlgn t Interests ax business men will be txt sub served by ae-istlng to make known to the world the opportunities existing In our state with the development of lis latest resources for the htbltatton of the human race, and thus encouraging its -ettlement and develop ment alng the varied phases f human achievement: and. Whereaj". We know that the object so much Jcstred cannot be accomplished other wire than by unity of action on the part f all hav ing the welt-being of our commonwealth truly at heart; and. Whereas. It Is an established fact that the unfortuna'e and persistent use by our own people to a large extent of the term "web foot" given to this state In 'a spirit of de rision by the peottie of a neighboring tate has diverted a large number of people from settlement In our midst and consequently pre vented the Investment of large sums of money much needed in developing the re ourcs which we know do exist: and. Whereas. We know that the use of the op probrious term alluded to Is untrue and un just as can be conclusively proven by refer ence to the Government Weather Bureau recordf. which show that at lu one-half of the states of the Union have as much rain fall as Oregon and a number of them con siderably more: therefore, be It P.esolved. That the Oregon Prees Associa tion. asembled in Its annual meeting this ISth day of January-. 1IH in the rooms of the Commercial Club of Portland. Or., will from thh date and henceforth forever ceaee to use the word "wt-bfoot" a now generally applied to Oregon and discourage all refer- ence thereto on the part of ethers: and. b It furthor Resolved. That this association will begin at ence the uec of the original term by which the state was known, name?-. "The Beaver State." adopted during territorial days and used in early statehood as emblematical of the habits of the sagacious and Industrious beaver, an the most appropriate symbol of the history and people of Oregon that could have been se lected from the treasury of heraldry and which adorned the first coinage In American territory west of Ibi Itocky Mountain, and was also the crest of the first territorial seal. Get Hid of "Webfoot." Mr. H lines said he had no personal ob jection to the term "Webfoot," but that It would undoubtedly be well to get rid of it. Somebody in a Jocular mood declared that the eastern count editors would not vote for the resolution unless the western county editors would refrain from refer ring to the "cow counties" in print. Pres ident Hendricks agreed to the suggestion and promised on behalf of the Willamette Valley press to boycott the objectionable term. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway. one of the pioneers In newspaper work in the state, was Introduced and made a brief address to her ".sons and daughters of the press." She said she was particularly pleased to sec that women were now taking a part In the proceedings of the press associa tions and were being welcomed as friends and co-workers and not as Intermeddlers. Referring to the woman suffrage move ment, of which she is a leading champion, she predicted that if the brainy men of the press did their duty between now and I he idK of June, at the next annual jubi lee of Uw Press Association she would be able to raise th" cry she had raised many years ago. "Oregon Against the World." Resolutions or Thanks. Mr. Flagg introduced and had adopted the following' resolution: "Resolved. That the Oregon Press Asso ciation heartily indorses and approves of the strict observance of the direct-primary law. believing that all laws adopted by the people or their representatives are entitled to a full and fair trial." Mr. Bennett introduced and had passed resolutions thanking the Commercial Club for the courteous treatment it had ex tended the association; thanking the rail roads for the courtesies extended, and thanking the retiring officers of the asso ciation. ' Manager Tom Richardson, of the Com mercial Club, stated that the board of directors of that body, at a session held at noon, had passed a resolution thanking the editors for accepting the club's hos pitality and extending to the association the use of the club's room, stenographers, etc.. at any time. The invitation was ac cepted. Prefer Name Denny Pheasant. Tim association passed again a resolu tion adopted by the association In 1S92, asking that the press aid In making the name Denny pheasant apply to the birds Introduced from the Orient by Hon. O. M. Denny. The birds arc now generally rc- xerrea to as Chinese pheasants. Those wishing to attend the annual con vention of the National Editorial Asso ciation at Indianapolis next June were asked to send their names to the new president at once- Oregon is entitled to eight delegates.

Oregon Osteopathic Association was held j in this city yesterday, the three sessions j of the day's meeting being held in the Imperial hotel parlors. One of the most ! important matters before the convention J was the question of obtaining legislation ' which will legalize osteopathy, requiring t a state board examination for practice. ; In the absence of Dr. C. E. Walker, the address of welcome was given by Dr. O. F. Akin. The constitution and code of ethics was read to the convention by Dr. Mabel Akin, who also acted as secretary. Little Sammy, the newsboy, in whom the public has been taking deep interest of late, was examined by all the members of the convention. Dr. Otis F. Akin present ed the case. It was found that, owing to contractions of the iliopsoas jmuscles and atrophy of the gluteal muscles from long contihucd sittings, several months treat ment would be necessary to stretch these muscles so that the child could stand. This being done, the majority of the doc tors present were of the opinion that ho would be able to use the artificial limbs which it is proposed to get for him. but that crutches and a brace would be quite necessary. This boy has been a paralytic for ten years, and as he has not been able to stand In all that time, his muscles are naturally in a very contracted state and his spine weak. The following officers and committees were selected: President. Dr. G. 3. Hois ington. Pendleton: vice-president. Dr. Otis F. Akin. Portland: second vice-president. Dr. W. O. Flock, Portland; secretary. Dr. Mabel Akin. Portland: treasurer. Dr. F. J. Barr, Portland. Trustees Dr. R R. Northrup, Portland; Dr. J. H. Wilkins. McMInnville; Dr. L. B. Smith. Portland; Dr. C. J.
