Comraonwftlih Conference In
Speech on Pablic Health.
Convention Is Closed.
EL-GEXE. Or, Jsn. 1 (SpecUI.)
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. The principal speakers were
rr. William House, of Portland; Alfred
K. Clark, of Portland; John H. Lewis,
state Engineer, and O. B. 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.
The discussion waa closed by State
Engineer Lewis, who strongly seconded
the recommendations made by Mr.
Stevens.
The conference, which la held annually
' under the auspices of the faculty of the
University of Oregon, adjourned this
evening and will be reconvened In the
latter part of January of next year.

said:
Mrs. Dunlway Makes Address.

Mrs. Dunlway sounded the keynote
against women being relieved of Jury
duty and nearly every speaker of the
morning session followed It up. It was
the theme that brought the rattle of
kid-gloved enthusiastic applause of the
whole session.
-In every case where a woman Is to
be tried, whether In complicity with a
man or not. a mother of women and a
mother of men should be on the Jury
with men." said Mra. Putilway. "And.
she continued as she told a story of a
woman Juror In the early days who got
a needed rest and 3 Jury fees In the
bargain, "possibly It may be thia fee
the men do not want to let go or that la
causing them to be so concerned about
women sitting on the Juries."
Whatever Is back of It. the women
In the suffrage movement want the
Legislature to keep hands off and they
want the Jury duty for women.
