INDIVIDUAL HELP FAVORED I FOR INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION'S .AIM Projxlwil Ls to Have Guarantee Fond Established and In Case of Loas ' Each Subscriber to Par His " Proportion Thereof. By recommending a definite plan (through which it la hoped to secure new Industries for Portland, the Man- tofacturers Association committee on Friday night started a campaign that la expected to result In the extensive development, of the natural resources of the sta.e- The committee reported In part as follows: , 1 "A great natural dividing line ex ists, which in many- ways operates as a barrier that will forever prevent the East from being an efficient and suf ficient source of supply for the wants of the Pacific West and Northwest. "With this thought- recognized, there should be co-operation all along the line to make the territory In which we live, so far as possible, sufficient unto Itself in all those branches of human Industry which It ls possible for its citizens and its capital and enterprises to undertake. Reaaota1 for Removal Sbmpw. "There are three principal reasons why manufacturing Industries which nave been followed successfully else where will come to the Pacific Coast territory. One is the desire for a branch laotory which shall better handle and enlarge the distributing territory of the present concerns by cutting out the item of freight and other elements In the selling cost. The second ls the necessity. In this age of close compe tition along other lines, to get near to the supply of raw material. The third reason ls shown In the case of those Industries which have been developed up to a certain point In other places and which feel the need of expanding their activities or developing new and additional lines of "their properties. "With the first class of industries tinder discussion we need give our selves little concern. When an or ganization ls of sufficient strength and foundation that It wants to expand by opening up a branch factory. It Is able . to finance its way without assistance from the outside. "In the case of the second class our most serious work can be done and our highest good accomplished. Moat Important of all, we are less likely to make financial mistakes In lending our co-operation and extending our credit to manufacturing concerns that will use our raw materials. A great economic loss Is averted in having labor here to put labor value Into our raw ma terial, especially when we can consume; In our own territory, most of the manu factured product. Keed for Scrvtlay Sees. "It ls the third class that we shall he called upon to deal with most often. It ls with them we shall have to use the greatest care. The Manufacturers' Association, .or whatever body under takes the new movement In case of its adoption, will be kept busy In a practi cal and community building movement. "There la yet another class with which we have to .deal and which will need our ' most particular considera tion.' "It Is the encouragement of industries which are already established here and which could profitably expand with ad ditional capital. Probably we could do no greater service than . begin our ac tivities with this class of Industries. "There will be . no lack of applica tions ' for assistance and . the least worthy of them will he the most per sistent. -In the course of Its Investigations your committee found that two gen eral plans, only, .with local variations, had. been followed by other, communi ties throughout the United States and Canada, in extending aid to new factories. The bonus plan haa long ago been placed on. the shelf as being wasteful and dangerous. -.The results that had been achieved from It had in almost every - case-- been offset by losses. ------- Flaa Is Recommended. The plan which your committee has 'decided to recommend for adoption as ia basis of organization by the publlo : spirited citizens of Portland and Oregon ls one which haa been tried out with a considerable degree of success by many j communities. I "The following are feature ef the 'plan: ) - "All subscribers have limited per sonal liability; there ls no Joint liabil ity. In case of loss each subscriber would pay the proportion his subscrip tion bears to the total fund. No loss i could be total, provided .the attorneys-in-fact used discretion; there would be .some salvage, which would be applied before an assessment on the fund would !be made. Contract provides that no loan shall be made for more than $50, I 000. In the event of the death of a sub . scrlber his estate becomes at once re leased from all liability, except on con ' tracts previously made by attorneys-'rn-fact. Provides that each year list shall be revised and any persons whs may have- become Insolvent shall be stricken off. attorneys-in-fact have au thority to solicit other subscriptions. In ' order that the maximum efficiency of 'the fund may be maintained.' "Last year Sioux City secured pledges representing" ISJ5.000, every name of which passed upon by the bank as being responsible up to a certain amount.

IF CAPTIVE GERMS ESCAPE A Medical laboratory Director De stroys a Popular Fallacy. New York Press. Suppose a, madman obtained posses sion, of the many millions of disease germs stored away In the culture tubes in the bacteriologists' laboratories In this city and cast them loose in the streets, or, because of an explosion, the same deadly germs were sent adrift. What would happen? This question was put to Dr. William H. Park, director of the research lab oratory of the health department, after several persons bad had It put to them, each en his own way advancing what would probably and possibly happen. Some of these persons figured that the air would become poisoned; that men, women and children and even ani mals would be stricken with the tiny microbes, and that in an incredibly short time the streets would be filled with pale and haggard citizens, dying by thousands. That there ls not the slightest likeli hood this ever could happen ls the opinion of Dr. Park, who, commenting upon this imagined condition, says: "What would happen If a bottle filled with disease germs were broken or were scattered from a building? Why, nothing so far as the citizens were con cerned. Whether scattered from a building or dropped in the street, the result would be the same. The entire outfit of germs would die In the course of half an hour. The sunlight would kill them, or, If there ' were no sun shining, then the air would accomplish the same result, although not In the same time.
