Scott of Forest Grove Is Chosen Vice-President and George Turnbull Secretary. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eu- gei, Or., Jan. 14. (Special.) A co'e of ethics for Oregon newspaper men, prepared by Colin V. Dyment, doan ol the college of literature, science and arts and ex-Journalist, at the re quest of the State Editorial associa tion was adopted unanimously by a special meeting: of the association held here today In connection with the editors conference. L. D. Drake, of the Astoria Budget. was elected president of the confer' ence for the coming year at the final session. A. E. Scott, of the Forest Grove News-Tribune, was elected vice-president and George Turnbull, of the university school of Journal ism, secretary. The retiring presl dent is Robert W. Sawyer of the Uend Bulletin. Corvallta Win Session. Corvallls was selected as the meet ins place of the State Kditorlal as soclatlon convention on July 21 and 22. "Of all agencies the printed word . Is the moHt widely diffused and most powerful. The printed word is the single instrument of the profession we represent, and the extent to which it is shaping the thoughts ana con ducts of peoples Is measureless. We, therefore, pronounce the ethical re sponsibilities, and we desire to accept our responsibility now and hereafter to the utmost extent that is right and reasonable in our respective circum Htances." said Mr. Dyment In intro ducing the Oregon code of ethics for Journalism. The first section of the code treats with sincerity and truth. "The foun dation of ethical Journalism Is sin cerity. It is naturally not possible that all writing can be without error; but it can always be without delib erate error. There Is no place In Journalism for the dissembler; the distorter, the prevaricator, the sup pressor, or the dishonest thinker. "We will advocate in our respective communities the same thoroughness, eound preparation and pride of craft that we ourselves desire in ourselves, our employes and our associates. We are accordingly the active enemies of superficiality and pretense," is the statement of the section covering care, competency and thoroughness. "Inac curacy in journalism is commonly due more to lack of mental equipment than to wilfulness, of attitude and we regard journalism with a precise and learned profession." In considering moderation, conser vatism, and proportion the code reads "We will not over-play news or edi torials for the sake of effect when such procedure may lead to false de ductions in readers' minds. We will In all respects In our writings and our publishing endeavoring to observe moderation and steadiness. We will regard accuracy and completeness as mnrn vital thnn All r hlll1IF thfl first to print." Kindliness la Advised. Mercy, kindliness and Justice were important canons In the code. "It shall be one of our canons that mercy and kindliness are legitimate consid erations in any phase of Journalism; and that If the public or social inter est seems to be best conserved by suppression, we may suppress; but the motive In such Instances must always be the public or social inter est and not the personal or commer cial interest." In dealing with partisanship and propaganda, the code calls upon the newspapers to resist outside control and r main free, and to rise above ; partisanship, except so far as it is sincerely believed In. Mr. Dyment characterized the section dealing with public service and social policy as one of the most Important. "We will keep our writings and our publications free from unrefine ment, except so far as we may sin cerely believe publication of sordid details to be for the social good. Social Kffect Watched. "We will consider all that we write or publish for public consumption In the light of Its effect on social policy, refraining from writing or from pub lishing if we believe our material to be socially detrimental. "We will regard our privilege of writing for publication or publishing for public consumption as an enter prise that is social as well as com mercial in character, and therefore will at all times have an eye against doing anything counter to social in terest." Truth In Advertising Urged. "We believe it an essential part of this policy that we should not be re specters of persons. "We repudiate the principle of 'let ting the buyers beware.' We cannot agree to guarantee advertising, but we assume a definite attitude toward -'-the advertising that we write, solicit or print. We believe that the same canons of truth and justice should ap ply in advertising and circulation as we are adopting for news and edi torial matter." This is the ethical code which 70 Oregon editors unanimously adopted. Mr. Thatcher, head of the advertising department of the school of journal Ism, was commissioned to represent the leading dailies In the state while on a trip he is to take east In the near future. He will present the op portunities of advertising in Oregon papers before the leading advertising agencies of the country and before the convention of advertising clubs of the world which meets in Milwaukee, Wis. Fourteen dallies have already enlisted In the organization being made by a committee composed of Elbert Bede of Cottage Grove, Carle Abrams of Salem, G. Lansing Uurd of Corvallls and H. U St. Clair of Greeham. Field Man Is Suggested. The plan of having a field man to work among the Oregon papers and get them better organised was sug gested by Eric W. Allen, dean of the university school of Journalism. It will be considered at the July meet ing In Corvallls. . Resolutions adopted by the confer ence called for a general movement to restrict the amount of scandal and salacious details in newspapers; and thanked the university, the school of journalism, and Sigma Delta Chi for the successful conduct of the confer ence, and the Eugene chamber of commerce for the banquet given the editors laat night. Fred W. Kennedy of the University of Washington, who Is called "doctor for sick newspapers." made the charge that a large number of newspaper proprietors are maintaining their sys tem of selling advertising space by sacrificing the profits derived from the job work department. Herbert J Campbell, publisher or the Vancouver Columbian, told the conference what a close state and district organizat'on can accomplish and bow. The final meeting of the editors took place at a luncheon given In their honor at Hendricks' hail, at which Journalism students took a major place on the programme. Floyd Maxwell of Union, editor of the Emer ald, Wauna McKlnney of San Pedro, Cal., ex-edltor of the Oregana; Stan ley Elsman of Portland, editor of Lemon Punch; Lelth Abbott of Ash land, Doris Sikes of Eugene and Ray mond Lawrence of Portland, Univer sity of Oregon correspondent for The Oregonlan, were the speakers. L. D. Drake, newly elected president, presided. 580,000 DEFICIT FACED CliACKAMAS SELF IX COUNTY" FINDS PREDICAMENT. STATE PUBLISHES AUTO STAGE RULE S Running in Rush Season Alone Barred by Regulations. BONDS ASKED OF DRIVERS Tangle In Provision of New Budget law Blamed Funds on Hand Are Deducted. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 14. (Spe cial ) Clackamas county will be ?SO, 000 short next year if the assessment Is based upon the budget which was officially approved by the county court Saturday and filed in the office of the clerk. Due to a tangle over the provisions of the new budget law, both the school fund and the general county fund will face large deficits at the end of 1922, unless provision Is made by retrenchment In other departments. The budget as prepared , by the court and approve by the taxpayers' meeting provides for the deduction from amounts to be raised to meet contemplated expenditures, any funds in the treasurer's hands December 1, 1921. In doing this, the county court followed the exact letter of the new budget law and has refused to make any change. The . assessor and the treasurer pointed out that the balances on hand were to meet expenses already con tracted. Under the present system the taxes are not collected until April, and funds on hand must be used to carry the county over until that time. Under the 1922 budget, these would be used to meet new expenses. This not only cuts out the fund which must be used to pay warrants, in many cases at present outstanding, but reduces the amount which will De raised by taxes this year. This leaves the county In a peculiar position financially. In the general fund December 1, 1921, there was a $ffl,000 balance. This was deducted from the proposed expenditures to get the amount to be raised by taxation. But the treasurer pointed out that the general fund expenses are about $12,000 monthly. Thus by April 1, when the taxes start coming in, this fund will be depleted. New Orders to Be Effective as Soon as Blanks Can Be Sent to Operators. Alder Logs Hamper Farmers. TOLEDO. Or., Jan. 14. (Special.) The farmers of the lower Siletz river and on the Alsea and Yaqulna rivers are at a loss to know what to do with the millions of feet of high-class alder logs which they have on their bot tom lands. At the present time there is only one small mill, located at To ledo, which handles alder logs. The farmers are particularly interested in getting rid of the alder so that they may use the bottom lands for dairy purposes. A large quantity of these logs, some of them 3 feet in diameter and from 30 to 90 feet long, have been sawed down and burned. It appears that some method of handling this lumber might be found whereby It could be cut into cants and shipped to manufacturing centers where it could be utilised. Columbia Office Makes Money. ST. HELENS. Or., Jan. 14. (Spe cial.) During 1921, the county clerk's office showed a profit to the county, according to a statement pre pared by J. V. Hunt, clerk.

Ef forts were made several months ago by the American Legion post of In dependence to have Stalnaker s name removed from the official list of slackers but the war department seems unable to unwind the red tape surrounding the matter. Dallas Mill Closes. DALLAS, Or., Jan. 14. (Special.) The big mill of the Falls City Lum ber company, owned by the Cobbs Mitchell interests, suspended opera tions permanently today. The com pany gave as its reason for the shut down the prohibitive cost of trans porting logs from Its logging camps the fatlets basin. The equipment and crew of the mill will be trans ferred to Vaisetx, where the company has another mill. Independence Newspaper Sold. DALLAS, Or., Jan. 14. (Special.)
