Chamtcr of Commerce Committee
Discusses Budget With Orncials.
( Taxpayers to Act on Recom
mendations Tuesday.
"That there Is a division of opinion
among' members of the School Board
as to what tax levy will be required to
support the schools of the district for
the coming year became 'apparent yes
terday when the board met with rep
resentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce and other bodies to discuss the
1916 budget.
No amendment of the tentative
budget estimates originally published
In The Oregonian was made at yester
day's meeting, but there undoubtedly
will be clashes over one or two im
portant subjects when the board meets
again tomorrow to complete its delib
erations and determine finally what its
recommendations will be.
The school levy will be made at the
annual taxpayers' meeting in the Ar
mory next Tuesday at 8 o'clock P. M.,
when the recommendation of the
School Board will be considered and
adopted or amended as the taxpayers
see tit. Although the levy will be
fixed this year by the taxpayers it
may be the last time that the mass
meeting system of voting will be in
vogue. A bill has already been pre
pared and will be Introduced at the
next Legislature. This bill is to
abolish this system and fix the power
of making levies in the hands of the
School Board. It would give the board
power similar to that exercised by the
city and county commissions.
BsUmiitei Cat Down.
Every membVr of the Board urges
strict economy in fixing the 1915 school
levy and all have pruned estimates as
low as possible in arriving at the bud
get in its present shape. However, Dr.
K. A. Sommer insists that thelevy
should be only 4.8 mills Instead of S
mills, as contemplated by other mem
bers of the Board. The budget of esti
mates recently announced in The Ore
gonian quoted the levy at 4.95 mills.
Since that time, however, four members
of the Board Chairman Munly and Di
rectors Smith, Beach and Plummer
have gone on record as favoring an ap
propriation of $50,000 to purchase suit
able grounds for the location of the
prospective Hawthorne School building.
It is probable that the Board will
vote tomorrow to Include this Item in its
recommendations to the taxpayers.
which will bring the levy approximate
ly to 5 mills. If the sentiments ex
pressed by Board members yesterday
may be taken as a criterion this will
be the order.
Provision already has been made In
the budget for $90,000 to cover the
probable cost of purchasing a site for
a trade school on the East Side. Dr.
Sommer is also opposed to this appro
priation at this time and probably will
oppose it at tomorrow's meeting. Mem
bers of the Taxpayers' League have
been Invited to attend tomorrow's meet
ing to discuss the budget before the
Board recommendations are determined
finally.
Five Mills Not Opposed.
On behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce. A. F. Flegel and J. F. Daly ap
peared before the Board yesterday, but
they did not offer any criticism to the
figures as now outlined by the Board.
"We assume that everything abso
lutely required has been included in
this table of estimates," said Mr. Flegel.
"We would urge that the levy should
not be allowed to exceed 5 mills under
any circumstances. If you go before
the taxpayers next Tuesday asking for
a S-mill levy the Chamber of Commerce
feels that the Board's recommendations
will be supp'orted by the people.
"If there ever was a time when we
should practice every possible economy
It is this year. The Board ought not
to buy any more grounds than are ab
solutely needed."
Mr. Daly said that business men gen
erally thought the 1915 levy should not
be allowed to exceed 5 mills.
At this juncture Dr. Sommer came
forward with a declaration that any
expenditures for the construction of
buildings should be made possible by
the issuance of bonds.
Bond System Proposed.
'"We need buildings In various quar
ters of the city, but we cannot afford
to spend the money for them under
present conditions," he said. "The
proper caper would be to relieve the
situation by selling about $1,000,000
worth of bonds and run the routine ex
penses on a tax of about 4.5 mills.
"I am in favor of keeping the tax
down as low as possible until the peo
ple come to their senses. Then we can
hold a bond election and vote the funds
that are positively needed to carry on
Improvements.
"We will have at least 734 additional
High School students to take cars of
in September, 1915. This number will
be made up from the present overflow
In the Jefferson, Washington and Lin
coln High Schools and the normal in
crease in enrollment that we may
naturally expect at the opening of the
two intervening terms.
Chairman Munly said that he thought
the city ordinance demanding the con
struction of Class A fireproof struc
tures was the most unfortunate situa
tion connected with their present prob
lems.
"Long before these fireproof butld-
Ings are Used up they will be entirely
out of date and we don't know what
to do with them," he said. "These build
infra last too long to be practical."
Whitney L. Boise and L. M. Lepper
appeared before the Board to repeat
the request of the East Side residents
for the purchase of a site for the pro
posed Hawthorne School.

SILVER LAKE. Or., Nov. 21. (Spe
cial.) By oompletlng a four per cent
grade over Summer Lake Hlll,i Lake
County has contributed another $10,
000 link to the Paclflo Highway.')- Sum
mer Lake Mountain long has been a
thorn In the side of teamsters as- well
as motorists. It is more than six miles
long and the oldroad In some places
was steep and rocky. A crew of road-
makers has been working on the new
grade since the Spring of 1913, and the
30-foot highway Just completed Is a
vast Improvement over the old . thoroughfare.
Summer Lake Mountain extends from
the south end of Silver Lake to the
north end of Summer Lake, each slope
being a trifle more than three miles.
Other Work Tied Up.
When the County Court appropri
ated money -.for .improving' the Summer
Lake grade a- fund of $2000 also was
set aside for a highway to skirt Silver
Lake to the ' east. This, road was to
run from the bottom of Summer Lake
Mountain on the north to the foot of
Table Mountain at the north end of
Silver Lake, thus making another 10
mlle link in the Paclflo Highway, The
proposed -road w,ould ' have diverted
some travel from the towa of Silver
Lake. Property owners of the town
filed a remonstrance against i the pro
posed road and work has been-tied up
ever since. Final decision of the ques
tion probablj will be -made at the next
term of the County Court. "
The remonstrance has caused a fac
tional strife between the residents of
the Christmas Lake country and those
of the town of Silver Lake.
Christmas Lake residents contend
that they are entitled to a shorter and
better highway to Lakeview, the coun
ty seat. Silver Lakers, in their peti
tion to the court, say the ' proposed
road would be a useless expenditure of
county- money. - - . -
Farmers Favor Road,
Summer Lake farmers take sides
witir'- the people of Christmas Lake,
as i most of the produce sold- li the
desert country is freighted from sum
mer Lake and the proposed highway
would furnish a short cut for home
steaders to the gardens and grain fields
to the south. - - . .
Another piec of road construction
and improvement to be completed be
fore the motor touring season next
Summer is the highway between Silver
Lake and Crater Lake. - This road will
require an expenditure of several thou
sand dollars atid will traverse the pic
turesque mountainous country in the
vicinity of Lakes Crescent and oaeu,
thence following the backbone of the
Cascades to Crater Lake, where It con
nects with highways from Klamath
Falls. Ashland and Medford.
All of this work will be done with
out bonding the County.- "

an enthusiastic meeting here today of
Oregon hopgrOwers $2000 stock of the
Oregon Hopgrowers Association was

and the price received by the corpora
tion.

who subscribed at today's meeting were
Phil Metschan, 6r of Portland; J. A.
Cooper, of Independence; M. L. Jones,

at $10.
More than 100 growers attended the
meeting and it was the unanimous
opinion 'that the plan agreed upon to
maricet the crops would result in high

ised to aid in every way to Induce
brewers to give the preference to Ore

Why Teeth
Are Neglected
iT n SV
1. Ignorance
2.
3.
Fear
Cost
" The Dental Trust is responsible for all
three causes.
Education of the masses except simply
teaching school children how to use a tooth
brush is contrary to the "ethics" of the Trust. That is
why I am opposed to "ethics."-
I believe in educating the masses against the dangers
, of diseased teeth by educational advertising. Also by
free lectures people can learn of the serious results to
general health which follow neglected, diseased teeth. By
free clinics in my street demonstrations, poor people can,
to some extent, overcome the matter of cost, and others,
by watching the operations and seeing the work done
without pain, can overcome their fear of going to a
dentist.
I have never looked upon dentistry a3 a profession of
secrets. ' I believe that it should always be practiced in
the open daylight of publicity; that if -it is good for the
few who can afford its blessings, it is equally good for the
masses, as all mankind have teeth, and rich and poor
alike are subject to the laws of nature.
Teaching a child to simply brush the teeth is not dental
education of the masses any more than a well-brushed
suit of clothes indicates the wearer has a robust, healthy
body. Brushing only helps keep teeth clean . No matter
how carefully you brush your teeth, yoti should know
that particles of food still remain in cavities and crevices
which cannot always be reached by a brush, and such
decaying food particles cause decay of the teeth. You
should go to a dentist at least once every six months and
have the teeth cleaned. Small caTties should be filled
before they become large, thus saving cost as well as an
noyance and health. Decaying teeth are cesspools of dis
ease infection which affect the entire system because of
easy access to the stomach and general digestive organs.
The great .masses of grown people need dental educa
tion. The Trust makes a great splurge of running from
one schoolhouse to another telling children how to use a
tooth brush, as if it was a fine art. It is simply a scheme
to get a little cheap advertising. Any child that has
brains enough to learn to read and write can learn in five
minutes how to use a tooth brush. The manufacturer of
tooth brushes and tooth powders readily see in this a
chance to get some cheap advertising for his good3, which
he donates, while the "ethical" dentist makes much noise
and gets hisname in the newspapers once a month with
out spending any money. And the Trust call3 this
"educational work." But it does not interfere with a
Trustite' charging from $5 to $20 an hour for consultation
and examination in his office.
I don't believe that a dentist should make any charge
for consultation and examination. The temptation is too
great" to do a lot of useless talking over a simple case in
order to get a big fee, and if you know nothing about
dentistry it is still easier to get the big fee. It's too
much of a temptation for me, and I'm at least as honest
as the average Trust dentist. For this reason consulta
tion and examination were made free in my offices years
ago. We charge for our work not conversation.
Fear-of . pain keeps many away from the dentist. Could
' I have built up the largest dental business in the world,
extending'from New York to San Francisco, if I had not
originated my local anaesthetic, by which all operations
are done without pain to the patient?
"Ethics" prevent a dentist from being anything but
a follower. No leader in dentistry can be "ethical."
Had I been bound by the traditional "ethics" of my pro
fession I would not have been permitted to show the public
I could do dentistry without pain, and thousands who
have been benefited patients in my several offices would
have been "kept away by fear of pain. Had I observed
the "ethics" laid, down by the Trust I would still be
using cocaine and arsenic to the detriment of my patients,
like other Trust dentists, and running a one-man dental
office like-other Trust dentists.
By organization, specialization and advertising I have
associated other dentists with me who specialize in the
different branches of dentistry, each working in that
branch in which be is a specialist. This systematizing
enables each Painless Parker office to conduct its business
on strictly modern business principles purchasing sup-
plies in large quantities giving patients the highest class
of painless dentistry at the lowest practical price.
