Characterising as Walls'd municipal murder the cuilom of suppressing facts and coneeallns; conditions for business purposes when cities are unders-olns; an epidemic such as typnold and protest ing against deliberate playing of dol lars against lives. Dr. William House, of Portland, opened fodav session of the Oregon Commonwealth Conference, with a strong plea for the develop ment of a public-health conscience among the people of Oregon. Ir. House attacked such, crimes asalnst the public health as killing In jured and diseased animals for meat, dumping sewage of cities In the rivers to be passed on and down to other -itles and the antl-vacclnatlon cam paign, lie declared that public health was an asset of the. stats and as such ihould receive aystematlc protection. The tecond session of the congress opened this morning at Vlllard Hall. nd was presided over br President F. O. Toting. The general subjecta up for onslderation embodied the relation of he professional man to the atate and :he proper utilization and exploitation jf the state's undeveloped natural re sources.

Coldwell. gen eral superintendent of the power and light department of the Portland Rail, wav. Ugbt Power Company.. Dis cussions were participated in by Dr. W. Carleton Kmlth. of Salem: Will R. King, of Salem, and many others. Meat-lnpert Ion Law Needed. Dr. House's paper waa the first one js the programme for the morning e ninn. -Development of a public Health fonslence Among the Teople of Ore gon. was the subject. He called attention to the great In crease of the length of human life that had come about through modern knowledge and practice, gave detailed enumeration of the causes that had led to It and recited the need of further re forms. He said that while meat killed fr interstate trade was obliged to pass rigid Federal Inspection, state lawa were needed to protect the people against diseased meats killed for local consumption. He considered It advis able for the state to paas pure food laws modeled closely after the Federal statutes now In force, but admitted that such a course would entail a bard fight In the Legislature. He hoped for better regulation as to the dumping of sewage Into the rivera of the state, thus Inviting typhoid, and spoke strongly against the selfish and misguided policy of minim Inzlng the danger during an epidemic He said that such a course was simply legalised municipal murder, and could not be justified on any ground. He also spoke strongly aaralnat what ha termed "the misguided and 'anatlcal campaign against vaccination" and quoted statistics to show the efficiency of vaccination as a preventative of smallpox. He stated that Improvement of conditlona could be brought about either by teaching the people to observe voluntarily the ordinary lawa of hy giene or by forcing them to do It by law. Education he considered as the better way. as legislation is not hard to secure In the first place, but hard to enforce later. He was followed In the discussion of the subject by Dr. W. Carleton Smith and Dr. Calvin 8. White. State Health Officer. Both strongly supported the stand taken by Dr. House, particularly in regard to concealment of conditions during typhoid epidemics In cities. Public Health Giant Problem. Dr. White said that selfishness was back of practically all the movements against pure food regulation selfish ness of the producer who refused to sacrifice his profit by destroying In fected or Inferior food, salfishness of city officials who shirked the respon sibility of securing adequate water sup ply. He said that civic health was the biggest problem of the modern munici pality and that cities would do well to make their health officer their best paid official. Attorney A. E. Clark, of Portland, spoke of the lawyer'a relation to organ ized society, pointing out thst the busi ness of the lawyer Is to present openly and fairly the case of his client and em phasising the real human need that Is filled by the legal profession. He spoke rf the high standard of the American courts and emphasised what they have done for society. ' The special subject for consideration at the afternoon session was the proper use and exploitation of Oregon's natural resources. Along the general Uses of this topic. O. B. Coldwell. general su perintendent of the power and light de partment of the Portland Railway. Light A Power Company, read a paper eniiuea Ttlllaatlon of Electricity From Water Powers On the Farms and In the Homes and Factories." Lack, of Map Hampers. Along the lines of exploitation of the natural resources of the state. Professor McAllster. presented a paper from J. C. Stevens, of Portland, who waa unable to be present, entitled. "Land and Stream Purveys." The aubstance of Mr. Stevens' paper was that while Oregon has greater nat ural resources In the way of public land and water power than any other state ' owing to the fact that so little of the area of the state Is surveyed and mapped. It la practically Impossible to present figures that will Interest out side capital In development projects. Mr. Stevens strongly urged an appropriation from the atate to be need In conjunc tion with the United States Geological and Topographical Surveys In the prepar ation of accurate data.
