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.

possible In Oregon and the Northwest.
Saloon Rented? Urged.
"Whereas, over one-third of the cases
each year In the police docket of Port
land, are arrests for drunkenness, and,
whereas, drunkenness ls duo largely to
the fact that the saloon ls the only
plaoe affording social life and recrea
tion to worklngmen, . 1
"Be It resolved, (first), that all recre
ational facilities, such, aa pool tables,
card tables, moving-pictures, etc be
forbidden In saloons; and (second), that
by public or private agencies, or by
both, social centers be established In
the saloon district and elsewhere la
Portland, as substitutes for the saloon.
"Be It further resolved, (first), that
the closing hour for saloons be made
11 P. M. Instead of 1 A. SL; (second),
that all screens and other barriers that
obstruct vision Into saloons be removed
from the doors and windows.
Mew Department Favored.
"Whereas, believing that greater care
should be exercised in our public
schools In the classification of children
both as to their physical and mental
status and, whereas, many children be
low normal mental grade are perma
nently Injured and children of normal
grades are retarded through being re
quired to associate in the same classes,
therefore, be It resolved, that the con
: v SLfr -srHe r, I
ference recommend to our School
Boards the addition to the staff of
teachers of a psychological expert.
"Resolved, that we advocate a state
meat Inspection law.
"Resolved, that we advocate a state
law compelling personal examination
and a health certificate from all em
ployes of bakeries, restaurants and
candy factories.
Sckool Curriculum Criticised.
"Whereas the changed social condi
tions throughout the country haVe
made necessary radical changes In the
school curriculum, be it resolved, that
this conference recommend to the ed
ucational authorities of our state such
changes In the curricula of our publlo
schools, as may be necessary to meet
these changed social conditions and
we suggest the following: Prevocatlon
al courses, vocational Industrial In
struction and the establishment of con
tinuation schools.
"Whereas consumers have no ade
quate means of Informing themselves
of the conditions of the dealers from
which the milk ls supplied, be It re
solved, that dairies be examined month
ly and the dairymen be required to In
form each consumer by a printed notice
on the vessel in which the milk is con
tained of the results of the monthly In
spection and the grading.
Warning Given Parents.
"Whereas a large per cent of infant
mortality ls the result of Ignorance, be
it resolved, that all girls have special
training In the care of young: children,
and whereas, a large percent of .chil
dren's health is Impaired through lack
of sufficient rest, be it resolved, that
parents be cautioned regarding late
hours for growing children.
"Resolved, that the State Board of
Healtb require the reporting of all oc
cupational diseases and,
"Be It resolved, that the minimum
wage law be expanded to Include men.

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. '
