BUREAU
; Addressing the Rotary- club yester
day afternoon. William F. Woodward,
criticised the school board for Ua fail
ure to eoonerate in the plan Of the
8oclal Hygiene society to put into the
possession of adolescent boys, vital- sex
life facts" carefully written. The so:
ctety : he said had asked the i school
board to permit principals of. schools
to furnish lists of adolescent boys to
whom needful Information .was to ' be
sent;, after v the father ,had been ' com
munlcated with, and hot to be sent if
the father objected, ,':;. ? ' i
. "A great risk" was the board's ex
presslon, according to Mr. ' Woodward,
who added . that the ruling of the
board was that fathers ; must return
written approval before any boy could
be communicated with. But four such
returns " were made. The speaker In
eluded in his criticism the parents who
remain hi Ignorance or are careless of
the welfare of their boys, and who do
not help them become, possessed. of
facts conducive . to normal - outlook on
life.
But on the whole, said Mr. Wood'
ward, society ' has made progress : in
protecting Itself against the poisonous
adulterations of food and the mal
practice of physicians and druggists.
There was a time when the druggist
Considered' it his right and paramount
to the public a right or welfare, to sell
morphine or cocaine but that time has
changed and the druggist who sells
without giving warning could not stay
in business. .
Dr. a. H. Douglas addressed the club
on the subject. "The Care of the Skin."
Five men were given a total of five
minutes to advertise their business,
the winner to receive a medal. One.
W. F. Scott, was absent and the other
four spoke so briefly that they used
but three minutes and - 27 seconds.
Melvin Q. Wlnstock and W. R. Morgan
volunteered and did fill the remainder
of the time. The speakers were Fred

ATTY. GENERAL SAYS
THE BLUE SKY
-MUST EXAMINE; FREE
Bureau. Head, However, i Will
Collect Fees Unless Courts
. Stop Him by Decision.
' Salem, Or., Aug. 13 Although "the
new blue sky law says , that the corpo
ration commissioner has all the power
and privileges of the state superintend
ent of banks, yet he cannot charge cor
porations a fee for' making examina
tions, as the bank examiner does banks,
according to an opinion of Attorney
General Crawford. Corporation Commis
sioner -Watson has been charging the
same fees as the bank examiner. The
attorney general held that the "powers
and privileges' mentioned referred only
to the authority to possess a company's
boo lee or other documents for examina
tion. . - ..
Corporation commissioner R, A. Wat
son says he thinks the attorney gener
al has given a wrong Interpretation
to this phase of the blue sky law, arid
that he will disregard the , opinion
and continue to collect the full amount
of fees as scheduled In the law pro
viding for examining, state banks. - v
"I'm not going to take chances on
passing up hundreds of dollars of
fees which I think the law requires
this department to collect.'' said Wat
son. "If 4fce courts say I am not re
quired to Mike these fees, all right,
but until then I will have to take ex
ception to the attorney general's epin-
ion." - , ' , -
Watson said that the fees : pre
scribed are much larger' than the -actual
cost of making; a physical exam
ination of a corporation's affairs, and
the question he wanted the' attorney
general to pass upon was whether "he
was required to collect enourh to cover
the cost of, the examination or the
entire fee. He cited the examination
of the Gem Mining company in east
ern Oregon. Based oa Its earn tn luxa
tion of $1400,0(0, the examination fee
under -the banking schedule, which
Watson holds the Blue Sky law re
quires him to follow, was $200, while
tne. actual cost or , the examination
Was $35.58, i
Instead of Dassln on this auARtinn
the attorney general held that the
corporation department had no au
tnority to collect any fees at all for
tnese examinations.
