MEMORIAL TO 1
BILL SL
House "Kills" Measure, Up
setting Speaker's Plan
for New Hearing.
"JUGGLERY" CHARGE MADE
Representatives Mercilessly Score
Proposed Measure as Attempt to
Make American Medical So
ciety an Oligarchy.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Feb.
S. (Special.) Senate joint Memorial II,
concerning the Owen bill to establish
a department of medicine, was "killed
in the House this morning after it had
been mercilessly scored by several
members who declared it was aimed to
make of the American Medical Society
a sort of oligarchy. It had few friends
and many enemies and. despite the fact
that Speaker McArthur had promisea
someone a further hearing on It, th
House refused to lay It on the table
and applied the ax forthwith.
Olson of Multnomah declared that
the memorial which had been put
through the House previously without
opposition or scarcely any attention,
was not one which should have been
adopted and urged that it be lndeft
nitely postponed.
Hagood of Multnomah was not so
sure that the memorial was a bad one,
saying: "It Is said by some that thl
proposes to so align things that the
allopaths will have the full swing,
This row has been kicked up by the
other schools of healing, such as those
who rub your spine, etc."
Osteopath Attacks Bill.
Anderson of Wasco, an osteopath, de
clared that the plan aimed at in the
memorial is to get a member of the
American Medical Society in the Cabl
net, and read from the Medical Jour
nal an editorial In which it was.de
clared that it is time for the society
to not only demand its rights, but to
apply the pressure of political activity
to that end.
"You gentlemen will recall," said Dr.
Anderson, "that some few years ago
there was a great ado about the medi
cal practitioners, backed by the Ameri
can Medical Society, attempting to
force the Secretary of the Navy to as
sign doctors as commanding officers
of some of our ships. The doctors ae
clared that they should command the
hosDltai shlTs, you will rememDer.
suppose they felt that, having passed
an examination for the practice of
medicine, they were qualified to navi
gate a ship around the world, if neces,
sary.
"Following this to the logical con
clusion, I suppose we would soon have
the interesting spectacle or seeing some
of our eminent medicine men command
Ine the dreadnoughts of our great
vy; they would bo the big guns
themselves, and I suppose also they
would be commanding the submarines.
In fact, so far as I can Judge, the
osteopaths and other schools would be
left only the airships probably hot
airships to command. Inasmuch as
this memorial has 'been 'railroaded'
through this House, I think we should
lose no time In killing It.
Charare of "Jugglery" Blade.
Johnson of Marlon declared that he
opposed the memorial, largely on the
rround that it was "lugglea'' tnrougn
the House and that no one scarcely
knew what it was about until it had
been adopted and the telegraph wires,
the mails and telephones began to bring
In complaints from every section of the
state and the Nation at large.
"I would like to hear what the other
follow has to say about this." said
Bonebrake of Benton. "I am not for
or against either school. When I am
sick, sometimes I call in an allopath,
sometimes a homeopath and sometimes
one of these rub-me-downs any one
who can help me. But it strikes me
we should hear what the men favoring
this memorial have to say.
Speaker McArthur had promised some
one a hearing before tne memorial naa
hcin finally acted upon, but the House
ft that the memorial had not the
necessary merit to warrant any further
consideration and it was forthwith
"killed."
$1,000,000 EXHIBIT IS URGED
Mnrshfleld Chamber Working for
Large Grant for Panama Fair,
MARSHFIELD. Or, Feb. 8. (Spe
cial.) Believing that $1,000,000 is not
too great a sum properly to exploit me
resources and products of Oregon at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, the
Marshfield Chamber of Commerce has
nnssed resolutions calling on the Kep
resentatlves from this county in the
State Legislature to ask for this sum,
and to work untiringly to get the ap-
nronriatlon passed.
Copies of the resolution have been
sent to Senator Smith, and will be sub
mitted to the boards of trade atia com
mercial clubs of the state asking for
their oo-operation in getting the mat
ter acted upon favorably. The local
men believe that there Is no state In
the Union so Important In natural re
sources and so greatly In need of de
velopment as Oregon, and assert that
the Legislature cannot afford to be
niggardly in this matter, when the
proper presentation of the exhibit will
mean so much to the state as a whole.

ject." Filing Fee Bill Defeated.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb.
g. (Special.) Senator Barrett's bill,
providing for a filing fee Instead ef a
petition, for candidates for office, met
deeat in the House today. Eaton of

shut off the office seeking the man.

SUBSTITUTE IS FAVORED
SENATE PASSES BILL GIVING
EXECUTIVE POWERS.
Supplanting of Officials, According
to Measure, Must Come Only
After Hearing In Court.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 8.
(Special.) Only four votes were mus
tered against the substitute bill by the
Senate Judiciary committee - giving
power to supplant District Attorneys,
Sheriffs and Constables, and the sub
stitute measure passed the Senate to
day. The drastic provisions of the origi
nal bill, which allowed the Governor
summarily to supplant such officials,
were materially softened in the new
bill. Under the new bill officials may
be supplanted for periods of 90 days,
but only after they have been given a
hearing in court and the Circuit Judge
decides that such officer has not been
faithfully executing the criminal laws
of the state.
McColloch introduced the original
bill, and he was a member of a sub
committee of " three of the Judiciary
committee named to draft the substi
tute bill, Thompson and Butler being
the other two members of the sub
committee.
Thompson dissented and opposed the
bill on the floor. He declared it an
"asinine measure that means nothing
and accomplishes nothing but to throw
mud on a public official. If a public
official Is delinquent or Incompetent he
should be ousted from office, not sup
planted for 90 days."
Butler declared mat tne mil aoes not
conflict with the constitution, as it
does not propose to remove the official.
but merely to supplant ntm temporar
ily. On vote, wltn Bean ana Aimer ao-
sent, Barrett, Day, Hoskins and Thomp
son voted against the hill.

BILL IS HARMLESS
"Blue Sky" Measure Attacked
by Mitchell.
"JOKERS MAKE IT FARCE'
Baker Representative Says His Bill
Provides Most Rational and
Economical Plan for Super
vision of Corporations.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or. Feb.
8. (Special.) Representative Mitchell,
of Baker, has given out the following
Interview as to the "blue sky" legisla
tion situation:
"The wildcat promoters and crooked
corporations in this state will not be
adequately curbed by the passage of
the 'blue sky' hill introduced in tne
Senate this week by the big business
Interests of Portland. Members of the
House, who have examined the bill,
are unanimous in declaring that if
passed it will be entirely harmless and
will not Interfere with the operations
of any of the crooked corporations and
promoters who are daily robbing the
people of this state.
"While the 'big business bill contains
some strong sections, they are nullified
by a long list of persons and securities
that are specifically exempted from the
operation of the act. For Instance, the
act does not reach sales of securities
made to corporations, to licenses under
the act, or transactions where the con
sideration exceeds 85000, or trust com
panles, or building and loan associa
tions, or bonds and notes secured by
mortgage lien upon Oregon real estate,
etc ,
One Section Vital.
Section four provides that the act
shall not apply to the disposal of one's
own property when not made in the
course of continuing or repeated trans
actions of a similar nature, or when
such sale is made to an incorporator,
antecedent promoter or one who is al
ready a holder of the fully paid stock
of the Oregon corporation Issuing the
property so sold.
"These are only a few of the parti
culars in which the bill favors the big
and well-established stock grafter. It
Is filled with Jokers, ambiguities and
clauses that will make It a farce and
a dead letter If an attempt is ever
made to enforce lt-
"While the bill does not create any
new office. It increases the salary of
the superintendent of banks 12000 per
year and provides for all the help
necessary to put the bill into opera
tion. "As a matter of fact my bill provides
the most rational and economical plan
for the supervision of corporations, by
placing all of the details of administra
tion In one department, under a re
sponsible head. Instead of having this
work handled by clerks In three or
four departments. With an Income of
over 8200,000 per year from corpora
tions, the state, I believe, should give
the public and corporations prompt and
efficient service. If the blue sky bill
is placed in the banking department,
It will be administered by clerks, as
Mr. Wright, the superintendent, already
has so many duties that it will be im
possible for him to give his personal
attention to the supervision or corpora
tions; also it should be remembered
that under this plan the same, force
will be required to handle the corpora
tion work In the offices of the Secre
tary of State and State Treasurer, that
Is now employed.
"There is a strong sentiment through
out the state in favor of a blue sky
bill that will actually safeguard the
savings of the Investing public. If we
pass a dummy measure like the big
business bill now before the Senate,
the Legislature will be branded as a
corporation-controlled body. My bill.
House bill No. 334, will clean out the
promoters of wind and water securi
ties, and in my opinion is the only bill
now before the Legislature that will
work satisfactorily in actual practice."
NEW CONSPIRACY BILL FAILS
Notice Given of Movement for Re
consideration Tomorrow.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 8.
(Special.) An effort to put through
the Senate a substitute conspiracy
bill prepared In the District Attorney's
office of Multnomah County failed to
day.
It received nut is tavoraoie votes
with Bean and Miller absent. As a
result a motion to reconsider will be
made Monday.. With Miller present at
that time Senator McColloch Is satisfied
that the necessary 16 votes for pass
age will be secured.
The bill as originally introduced by
McColloch made it a crime to conspire
to commit a crime or to conspire to
defraud. The substitute bill provides
only that It shall be a crime to con
spire to defraud and its introducer
stated openly that the present bill Is
to hit at paving combinations and col
lusive bidding on all public work.
Eastern Oregon May Make "Demand.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 8.

COFFEY'S SALARY IS BOOSTED
Clerk and Auditor Given Power to
Employ and Discharge Help.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 8.
(Special.) The House today passed
favorably upon bills granting to County
Clerk Coffey an increase in salary to
84500 a year, and granting him the
right to employ and discharge his dep
uties and clerks and fixing their sal
aries. The House passed a bill similar
in effect, with no salary increases, for
the County Auditor. At present, the
County Court employs the clerks, etc.,
in these offices, and the bills passed
today give more direct control of the
offices to the Clerk and Auditor.
A bill was also passed by the House
making it the duty of the County Clerk
to turn over all fees, etc, received by
him over and above his Balary to the
County Treasurer. Heretofore, it was
explained by Speaker McArthur, some
of the fees received have been retained
by the County Clerk. He praised the
reforms put into effect by Mr. Coffey
since taking over the office, and said
he believed that the salary increase but
Just, when everything is taken Into
consideration.
The House also passed a bill author
izing the County Treasurer to pay wit
ness tees and mileage Immediately upon
presentation of warrants. This bill is
directly aimed at warrant brokers, who
are said to have been doing a thriv
ing business, especially in Multnomah
County.
GOAT MEAT IS BIG PROBLEM
House Votes Down Bill Compelling1
Sign on Such Sold.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 8.
(Special.) Whether or not goat meat
shall be sold for mutton Is the weighty
question which came up In the House
this afternoon on Senate bill 22, by
Burgess.
It seems, from the statements made
on the floor of the House, that some
hntrhxrs in the state have been mak
ing the sheep the gorl by pretending
to sell mutton chops and other choice
portions of "Spring lamb," when in
reality they were selling plain old
goat. The House voted down the bill
compelling the sign '"goat meat" to be
placed on goat meat and will, it is sa.d.

(Special.) Paper cups will be pro

Secretary's Pay Upheld.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 8.
(Special.) The salary of the private
1 perhaps noticed that a portion of each
article is devoted to the subject of
keeping well.
What would I advise you to do un
der the circumstances? I should advise
you to go right on as you have been
doing. Get along without medicine if
you possibly can. Look toward nature
for assistance. Clean habits, frugal diet.
Early to bed, in a well ventilated room.
Work every day at something you like
to do. Keep up your enthusiasm. Have
faith In nature and nature's God. The
laws of nature are Inexorable, but the
rewards of nature are kind and be
neficent beyond all expression. If you
do these things you may during your
1 whole life escape the necessity of using
medicine, but even with all this you
may occasionally need medicine.
: But you must remember that you and
' your club are exceptional people, that
the great masses of people go on
thoughtlessly. Their diet is very illy
fitted to sustain their bodies properly.
Their exposure to cold and wet and
heat and fatigue Is very reckless. In
short, they do not know how to take
care of themselves. Consequently, a
medicine is necessary often.
The medicine Pe-ru-na is a climatic
medicine. It is Intended to reach cli
matic troubles, troubles that arise as
the direct result of exposure to climate.
It is also intended to meet those dif
ficulties which arise from improper
nourishment of the body and improper
diet, producing indigestion and bilious
ness, The principal climatic trouble in our
country is catarrh, and a large number
of people have catarrh. Perhaps one
half of our people. Such people not only
need to take care of themselves as
you boys are doing, but they need a
medicine to render them a little assist
ance. Pe-ru-na is exactly what they
need.
If we conld have the world full of
people that are living as you are, per
haps I Bhould then not advocate the use
of any drug, but you are only one in
ten thousand. The rest are going on
heedlessly and recklessly, and it Is for
them that I am recommending my Pe-ru-na.
The average household needs Pe-ru-na
more than I can possibly describe.
The small children, the father and
mother, the grand children, are all
stumbling along heedless of the laws
of nature. A sudden attack of cold, a
1.10c 1
iocl

will remain at J.1000 a year. In all
probability. An effort to make It 82000

nority report.

chill, cough, hoarseness, tightness in

one of these things is liable to ocour

Now, such people ought to have Pe-ru-na.
At the first symptom that pre
sents Itself, or any disturbance of the
body, a few doses of Pe-ru-na Bhould

directions on the bottle is best. If this
is done it will save the people untold
expense and suffering. Not one case in
50 that comes under the care of the
doctor would occur if Pe-ru-na was
kept in the house and taken at th
very outset of the trouble. Yes, all this
is true and more.
I have hoped all my life to live to
see the day when obedience to the laws
of nature would be prevalent, when the
people would live so they would not
invite disease or provoke disturbance
in the body. But I have not lived to
see that day yet. I hardly think I shall.
But I have lived to see the day when
the people and even the medical pro
fession are very much more interested
in hygiene and sanitation than they '
used to be.
At one time, as a writer, I seemed to
be all alone In trying to get the people
to listen and become obedient to the
laws governing their bodies. Now there
are writers galore saying the same
things. I am profoundly grateful that
this is so.
So long as there are disobedient
ones, so long we must have medicine.
Even those who are trying to be obe
dient to the laws of nature, trying their
very best, need medicine for unavoid
able conditions that often bring on
some derangement. If such little de
rangements were met promptly with
Pe-ru-na the day would more quickly
come when even Pe-ru-na would not
be needed, the day when the drug doc
tor would absolutely go out of busi
ness. May that day hasten. I Bhall do
all I can while I do live to hurry on
the coming of that millennium when
all drugs will be relegated to the rub
bish heap and all doctor dooks jaia
aside as curiosities.
