MONDAY, - OCTOBER ,25, 1820. tBrHE OREGON? DAILY JOU RNALi I PORTINtO OREGON V-v-.' ivv 11 ANTI-COMPULSORY ION LAW HAS BROAD SCOPE 8vn proponed amendments to the state constitution and four, measures II propositions in all are to be submitted to the voters of Oregon for their Approval or rejection at the general, election to be held on Tuesday, November 2. For the in formation of the voters, these vari ous proposals will be summarised and their provisions stated In brlet form, commencing with' the first to appear on the ballot, and continue in the order in which they will be found there. All are important,' some of vital moment to the future welfare, of the state and its citi zens. Because of this, every voter owes a duty not only to the public, but to himself individually, to di gest these different amendments and measures and to rejfister 'his vote for or against each according to the conclusion he reaches as to the wisdom or unwisdom of each. The seventh proposition on the No vember ballot i; the "Anil-Compulsory Vaccination Amendment." It was put on the ballot through the initiative by the Public School Pro tective league. It says: "No form of vaccination, inoculation or other medication shall be made a condition in yilj state for admission to. or attendance in, any public school, col Icce, university, or other educational In stitution; or for the employment of any person In any capacity, or for the exer cise of any right, the performance of any duty or the enjoyment of any priv ilege." The argument mads In behalf of the amendment by Us proponents, as - pub lished in the state pamphlet, deals solely with compulsory vaccination against smallpox In the public schools. The text of the amendment would seem-to give It a much broader ' jurisdiction, however, than the arguments advanced by its sponsors for, If its terms do not belle their, meaning. Its Inhibitions run against all medication, in any form, as well as against vaccination or Inoculation against small pox. "WOULD AVOID TREATMENT If the language of the amendment be not ambiguous. It says. In effect, that the state, or the authorities, may not compel any form of medical treatment whatever as a condition precedent upon entrance at or attendence in any edu cational Institution. And it would seem to go beyond this to touch the control of private employment and say that "no form of vaccination, inoculation or other medication" could be enforced as a con dition for the employment of any per nor! "in any capacity," for the exercise of any right, the performance of any 'duty or the enjoyment of any privilege." INFECTION SOT BARRED Vnder the terms of the amendment children afflicted with sore eyes of a contagious or Infectious character, with contagious diseases of the skin or infec tious ailments of any kind or sort, could not be compelled by the school authori ties to submit themselves to medical treatment or be fcarred from entrance or attendance. The same thing would seem to apply to private employments, while the terms of the amendment are so broad. It would seem that persons no afflicted might not be barred from attendance upon theatres, churches or other places of public gathering upon the ground that it would be a curtail ment of their "enjoyment of any privi lege." Those who desire the amendment to become a part of the state constitution should vote "312 X Yes" ; those who oppose its adoption should vote "313 X So." Wilsonia Hill Road Detour Stirs Ire Ofc Automobilists Travelers along the Pacific highway between Portland and Oregon City Sun day complained bitterly at the condition of the road Just north of Oswego, where construction work is proceeding. Mo torists pointed out that while It is to be expected that difficulties be encountered while Improvement work is going on, lit tle excuse could be found for leaving a road In both a dangerous and impassable condition as the Wilsonia hill detour was found. This hill road is reep In mud besides heins; extremely steep. Many cars were stalled on the hill Sunday and it was with difficulty that they were extri ated. Iluts more than hub deep made the passage extremely dangerous. Just a little work with a heavy drag would improve the situation immeasurably, drivers declared, and would eliminate much of the danger until the main road is finished.
