The committee on fraternal Insurance
of the -National Convention of Insurance
t'ommlssloners was instructed at the
last meeting held at Colorado Springs In
.August. 109. to draft a model bill for
the consideration of the convention at
Ha meeting; In 1910. This committee
met in New York City In December of
lnnt year and in conference with It were
representatives of the National Frater
nal congress and Associated fratern
ities, as well aa representatives from
otlier societies not connected with either
of these organisations; The committee
outlined Ha work and drafted a aeries
of quest Ions, seeking Information along
the lines discussed, the object being
to secure such data aa will be of as
sistance In framing the proposed -bill.
The question of rate In the frater

the serious attention of these societies
during the past few years, and In a
number of states the legislatures have
taken up the matter and enacted meas
ures requiring the use of rates which
re based upon experience and which
have been ' determined to be mathe
matically and scientifically correct,
The purpose of the circular addreaaed
from the Inaurance department is not

expression from the membership ' of

the country, and which will Insure In

, Conoerns Each Member.
The .question Is one which should seri
ously' conecra each member of every fra
ternal society in Oregon, says Mr. Koser.
and they pwe it to their dependents
to fully assure themselves that the
rates , which they are contributing for
the protection of their families are
sufficient to guarantee the payment of
the benefits upon their demise. Many
of the associations , have . commenced
business with rates which were shown
at a later date to be far from sufficient
to meet the calls upon the society,
and have, consequently, been Increased
at vanlnus times, and the end la not yet.
;lf 'the members in the fraternal or
ganisations In the-state of Oregon are
sufficiently concerned in this matter

That View of Situation.
Poor Light, Bad Air, Crowded Rooms
Contribute to , Spread . 'of . Disease (
At a meeting la Washington, attended by leading ednoators and representa
tives Of worklngmsa, the sentiment was nnanlmous that tha bad air, poor light '
. and crowded rooms In many schools and laotories contributed largely to the
pre ad of consumption. Samuel Oompsrs, as president of the Amerioan redera
tioa of Labor, maintained that by causing a reduction la the hours of labor,
and securing higher wage, which mads It possible to provide better suste
nance, the federation had done muoh to assist la the great work of stamping
out the disease. .
While much has been, accomplished la the fight against consumption, it is
necessary for each Individual to take evsry precaution agsiast contracting the
disease. Coughs and colds are a prolif lo source, and must aot be aeglectsd.
A simple, inexpensive and effective remedy Is mads by mixing two ounces of
Glycerine, a half -ounce of Tlrgia Oil of Was compound pure and sight ounces
of pure Whiskey. A teaspoon! ul, four times a day, will usually break up a cold
la twenty-four hours and ours any eoagh that la curable,,,- '
This formula Is frequently prescribed and Is highly rsoommeaded by tha
teach Chemical Co., of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Fine

to devise- soine method, by boycott or
otherwise, of ameliorating the condition
of those who labor, for a wage.
Tariff Bill Responsible,
"Of course those, of the Democratic
falt.li attribute the condition largely to
the enactment of what Mr. Taft pro
nounced to be Ilia best tariff bill ever
written.' They are not t alone In this
belief as seven Republican senators and
24 Republican representatives .publicly
attribute the rffoct to the same cause,
"I do not believe that congress dur
ing the present session will enact a sin
gle mcostire promised the people by Ke
publican spellbinders and the party plat
form of prtneiplea adopted during the
last campaign. The party dismally
failed to fulfill their pledge as to the
tariff on trust mad articlra and they
will. In my. opinion, be no more sincere
In dealing with other ecooomlo ques
tlons. s
The postal savings bill may pass
one branch or the other of congress this
session, but I venture to say that It
will -not become a law this session un
less the provision- authorising the de-
posltlr.g of the funds In local banks
is stricken out The interests which
control the majority party will permit
of a postal savings law only on condi
tion that the deposits come to them for
'safe and sane investment'
. Against Postal Barings Bank.
'The chof-en champions ' of . privilege
In both houses which dominate the Re
publican majorities do not favor a sav
ings law. at all. If, for, the sake of
political exigency, such a bill is finally
forced upon them they will endeavor I
to have the financial chute left legally
clear so -that the deposits can be ac
cumulated In the syndicate banks of
New York. ' . -

"The feeling la very general tha the
majority party has become Intoxicated
with power to the extent that dlslnte

observant man will truthfully deny tha
the .enactment of the 'best tariff bill

by a speaker at the Democrats club in

' Balem, Or., Feb. 4. A request . has
been made throsgh the experiment sta-
tlon . at Corvallts by the ' Salem board
of trade for the location at Salem of
a horticultural experiment station or
a government horticulturist to be lo
cated permanently at Salem for tho
purpose of Instructing and educating
fruit growers. The Idea Is a new one
but believed by members of the Salem
board . of trade to be required In any
extensive rruit oistrict. .
In a letter, to Dr. James Wlthycombe
at Corvallla, Secretary A. F. Hofer of
the board of trade at Salem sets forth J
that the fruit Induatry is becoming so i
vast and Important a factor in. the de
velopment of this vicinity that it Is I
felt the time has' corns when the dis
trict Is absolutely In need of assist
ance from tha agricultural department
mousand of carloads of. fruit are
shipped from Salem every year Includ
ing prunes, apples,, peara, peaches.
cherries and vast quantities of smaller
frulta and a' thorough horticulturist to I
assist the growers In caring for, fruit,
preparing It for shipment and market
ing t would be of inestimable valun.
In anawer to the calL for. heln Dr.
Wlthycombe thinks it not -probable
that the government would be. willing
to establish a substation to do expert.
mental work In fruit growing at Salem
for this would be an unnecessary dupli
cation of. the work. The station at
Corvallla Is dofhg everything It can.
saye Mr. Wlthycombe, in the way of
extending aid to the various sections
of the state, but the demands for
assistance are great and with the pres
ent available force It is impossible to
meet every emergency. He says Salem
is not afflicted with fruit pests or dis
eases that are at. all troublesome, the
great need being only better Informa
tion along lines of production and dis
tribution. '.. -
Industrial r allow ships.
"Some states have solved the nrob-
lem." writes Mr. Wlthycombe. by es
tablishing Industrial fellowships, New
iora ana California being the moat
notable examples. This Is done by com
munities subscribing a certain amount
or money which Is supplemented from
funds at the disposal of the experi
ment, station and ttil& way men are
secured o do work In various locall-
ttm "
It is also soggested that the learlala.
ture could well appropriate money and
send experienced men out into the dis
tricts to. aid the fruit-arowera ln...
this state la destined to become a great
iiuruuuiiurai siaie. . - - ... , ,,
The Salem fruit union ""haa". inau
gurated a series of meetings for the
education of the fruit - growers along
all lines, the first of the meetings be
ing held last t week when Professor
Charles Bradley of -Corvallla and W.
K. Newell Of Gaston delivered a.i.
dresses touching, upon certain problems
of the growers. Other meetings will
be held In the future. '

CONSERVATION PLAN

Washington, Feb. 4.J. J. Brown,
president of the Westerns Conservation
league, yesterday submitted to President
Tatt a plan for conservation of the
nation's natural resources by turning
over to private Interests the water pow

suggested that the best " way to pre
vent the absorption of coal and timber
lands by monopolies was for the gov
ernment to assist in the development of
electricity by renting the water power
sites to private companies. , He claimed
that he could point out places where

the great curse of the 20th century so
far as ;tnt' civilised races are concerned.
Practically all of the chronic Ul health
of this generation Is caused by abnormal
