problem of health insurance has been

Is wise.
rr. William F. Ogburn. professor of
economics and sociology at Reed Col
lege, who is on the programme com
mittee of the conference, is deeply in
terested in the health insuranc ques
tion and considers it one of the coming
movements in social legislation.
'Health insurance will be the next
bi;r movement of social legislation In
the United States." says rr. Ogburn.
'The Kuroiean countries have devel
oped health insurance and all classes
are favorable toward it. It is declared
that Germany's success in the present
war is partly due to the fact that
through health insurance she has
looked, after the health of her citizens
so well.
Kngland's I.iiit In Praised.
"Kngland has an excellent health in
surant o law. The American Associa
tion for labor Legislation, a powerful
organisation with headquarters in
Philadelphia. Is behind the movement.
There are bills providing for health
insurance before the State Legisla
tures in Massachusetts. New York and
New Jercey. .The leaning magazines
at furnishing articles on the subject.
"Tt is estimated that there are about
3.500.000 sick every day during every
year in the United Stales, a terrible
toll. It is said that 60 per cent of this
i'.lncss could be prevented if proper
steps in organization were taken. It is
estimated that SO. 000. 000 workers lose
nine days every year from their work
because of illness, causing a loss of be
tween J500.000.000 and $600,000,000 in
wages and a payment in doctors' billa
of J1SO.000.000.
"A survey was recently made of
Rochester. N. Y., in which 30.000 people
were visiter!, and it was found that
S00 of them were sick. One of the
striking features of this survey was
that -10 per cent of those who were
sufficiently ill to be kept out of indus
try were without the attendance of a
physician.
Concerted Movement Kelt.
There seems to be a general con
certed movement all over the country
for a campaign against ill health. Some
of the insurance companies are under
taking private campaigns. that are
having far-reaching effects. Employ
ers are in favor of health insurance
because of the greater efficiency in
their business, and scientific manage

men were killed and 3299 injured in
the logging- camps, lumber mills and
factories of Washington during March

ures compiled today by the State In

After surveying the Portland business
field, viewing its present condition and
taking a loolc at the future, William K.
Woodward yesterday declared that
business in this city was not only all
right and headed up the grade, but that
the future gave promise of bigger and
better things.
Mr. Woodward expressed cordial ap
proval of the work along these lines by
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
during the first 4-r f its existence,
and believes that it will be able to
accomplish many substantial better
ments, now that the machinery is well
organized and that confidence is being
restored.
In his opinion, Portland needs manu
facturing industries 'in line with her
resources of raw material.
Lumber Industry Jlevivrd.
"Our lumber industry lias received a
new lease of life,' said Mr. Woodward.
"It is our great industry, and now that
the period of depression is passed, we

In this Mid-Year Mitchell we have many new things
to show you. All the best ideas which were brought
out in 257 New York Show models. And 26 extras,
unique to the Mitchell. Don't miss this car.
The construction of the chassis in the
Mitchell is uniform. We have Epent 13
years in developing it. And we cannot
hope to greatly improve it.
But a hundred designers expert and
artists are evolving new Ideas in body
and equipment. And our chief effort is
to keep ahead of the rest.
, t)ur Composite Car
This year we took a new tack. We
brought out this Mid-Year model our
second for 1916.
We held its completion until after the
New York Show. There we saw all the
new ideas and touches. And we learned
whatSpeople liked best.
Then we combined in this new model
73 things that folks wanted. Of these, 26
are unique to the Mitchell either ex
clusive or very rare.
So you will find this New Mitchell, in
scores of ways, the most interesting car
on the market.
The
Prize Design
This body design stood out first at the
v Show. It was voted b7 women and by
men the handsomest touring model
ever created.
Body styles are like women's styles.
The designer's favorite is often unpop
ular. The only way to get a winner is to
take a vote as we did.
As a result of that vote covering 257
models we have a design which all will
concede first place among cars of this
season.
So with every new idea and equip
ment. They are not merely our concep
tions. They are all what people liked
best at the Shows.
Exclusive Extras
Then this Mitchell includes 26 extra
features things other cars don't offer.
All are wanted all are things you'd
miss. But they are costly and unusual.
So most makers ignore them, or else list
them as extras.
We believe that fine cars of this day
should embody all known comforts and
conveniences. So we add all we learn
of or invent.
We will let you decide, when we point
out these extras, if you would wish any
left out.
John W. Bate
Pays for All of Them
These extras don't show in the price of
the Mitchell. In fact, no other car of this
sire and grade sells at the Mitchell price.
All of these extras are paid for by fac
tory savings. And those savings are due
to John W. Bate, the efficiency expert.
Mr. Bate built this plant, covering 45
acres. He equipped it with 2092 modern
machines. He builds in this plant 93
per cent of this car, under Bate efficiency
methods.
He builds it for half what it would have
cost, even five years ago. He builds it
for less than any other factory could build
a similar car. And for 20 per cent less
than any factory which buys a large share
of its parts.
This is the model factory of America
building high-grade cars. John W. Bate
has worked out 10,000 savings. That is
the reason for all these Mitchell extras.
This is the only car with Bate Canti
lever springs, which double the ease of
riding.
Tffis is the car which 37 noted engi
neers have selected for their personal car.
This is the car which holds the world's
road endurance record. Six Mitchell cjjs
have averaged 164,372 mills each an
average 30-year service.
Every motor car enthusiast should
come and inspect this car.

"But there are certatn types of man
ufacturing which we cannot absorb
and make profitable. We must stick
close to our resources of raw material.
and a wise discrimination is necessary.
"Indeed, there is no occasion for dis
couragement anywhere along: the line.
Portland is doing well, and will De ao
lnyr better right along.
"In memory I turn back to the activ
ities of every commercial organization
of the past. Through all the years
there has been steady progress, due to
the unselfish support by every class
of citizen that has been given whenever
a forward step has been contemplated.
There have been years when progress
was slow, but there has never been a
serious setback.
"There have been many disappoint
ments, too. when we failed to realize
on a carefully prepared campaign. But
on the whole there has been little Justi
fication for sarcasm, skepticism orcrit
icism. Co-operation Declared eed.
"What the Chamber of Commerce
needs now is the good will and helpful
co-operation of men who have to do
with transportation affairs in a larger
sense. The plans of the Chamber along
these lines are sane and worthy of their
attention.
"We believe it i. posfiMa to bring
Eastern capital to Portland and to Ore
gon if given sane encouragement and
the protection It has a right to-expect.
When working here In Joint effort with
our local capital, nothing but progress
will be recorded.
"To do these things the sensible ma
chine to use Is the Chamber of Com
merce, and to the extent of his ability
every citizen should throw his effort
Into that one avenue lor securing results."
