Hie OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, March 9, 1930 PAGE NINE- CUTTLE TESTS EPOBTED AREA 37,336 Animals Inspected For Infectious Abortion During Year Tests of cattle for infectuous abortion in cooperation with the Oregon state college and the state livestock sanitary board ag gregated 37.336 head - daring 1929, according to a report pre pared here Saturday by Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian. Of the number tested 31,180 were free from the disease, 2924 were reactors and 2253 were classified as suspects. The state average was lO.o per cent of in: lection. There were 3006 hefdV tested, 1747 of which. were fre, 022 infected and 337 included animals which are; being isolated for further tests. There are now J8 herds that once had, either reactors or suspects thai are now free herds. Many other herds that hare had Infected animals In them ateo apparently are free, but have not been classified as such until retests are made, re altors removed and barns clean ed and disinfected. " The test work carried on in Oregon is well un in i' ' the United States." road Dr. Ly tie's report. "Actual figure are not available, but aside from Wisconsin and posnlbly Pennsyl vania, it Is safe to assert that no other state has surpassed Oregon in the number of animals tested. Nw milk nrrilnnnces enacted in Portland. Medford and other ch its have stimulated abortion con trol work. "With many dairymen, the economic necessity of eradicating the disease has been the Impell ing motive. Infectuous abortion, is costly. Infectert animals give le?s milk, have udder and breed ing trouble and may become sterile and reproduction uncer tain. Abortion infected animals have more enlarged Joints and suffer more frequently from lameness and produce fewer liv ing calves. "There is a public health prob lem also and while the chances for human infection is remote, and so far as raw milk' being the vehicle of infection transmission. Is in nvoat instances unproved. "There Is, nevertheless, a hu man morbidity rate of one per ron to every 125,000 people. Re cords show 1000 cases of undu lanfc fever In the Uulted States during the past year that origin ated from contact with infected hogs, horses, sheep, other anim als or humans or from Infected cattle and goats or from drinking Infected milk. Dr. Karl Meyer of the Hooper Foundation has said that tnfactuous abortion is a vet e:ir.ary problem rather than .1 public health problem and surely t hi is true. "The 'cattle of the Oregon counties show varying percent a"fs of infection. The past year's tft is not an accurate crosa- sec tion for the reaton that In some counties only the known' free territory was tested. Hoed Hirer is the first county in the state to tfst all animals. The largest number tested was in Ccos coun ty with 6674 or 3.02 per cent re altors. Umatilla, Washington and Des-chutes each had approxim ately 2210 tests, with 10. 11 and 1 'i per cent reactors. Benton." Marion and Multnomah each had approximately 1800 tests with R. 1T and 19 per cent reacting. Polk, Lane. Hood River. Klam ath. Linn. Crook and Yamhill e. ih had more than 1000 tests with 7. 12. 8. 12. 6. 12 and 7 per Cft reactors. "Clackamas, Malheur. Wal lowa and Jackson each had more tlcn 800 testa, wiih 13. 14, 16 r.rd 6 per cent reactors. Union, Tillamook. Lincoln, Clatsop, Ba krr and Columbia each had no-e than 500 tests, with 12. 7. 7. 17 and 20 per coot reactors. V'.-rco. Morrow. Lake, Josephine. Harney and Grant had from 500 d'wii to 250 tests, with 13. 17. 1.'.. 5, 7 and 22 per cent reactors. "Doilas bad 150 tests and GiMiam 75 tests with 3 and 2 per cent reactors." will give tbe addraa.

PRESENT RACE YET ANYBODY'S Norblad Conceded Edge By Majority of Public Opinion Here HI mm SEEKS TO OBTAIN OPINION If the people want prohibition, let's have it; if the people don't want it, let's not have it; a na tional referendum would decide the matter." is the spirit of the national prohftition referendum association Which last week es tablished a district headquarters in the I. O. O. F. building here. Steady progress in the matter of obtaining signers to the peti tions being circulated by the workers of the. association Is re ported by A. W. King, district representative. Since setting up his office here last Monday, King and his solicitors have obtained 913 names. The National Prohibition Ref erendum association. Inc.. I s strictly a non-purtlsan and non polltlcal organliation; therefore It is neither a wet nor a dry movement, but working to the end and that end alone of secur ing a national referendum of the 18th amendment. Likewise this association is not affiliated with any other organizations connected with the prohibition question. In regards to the collection of the dime for each petitioner, A. W. King, the local representative, declares that the 10 cents renre- ; sents the smallest possible amount of money which can be obtained for the purpose of carry ing out the work without a prof it. The dime fee Is to be expend ed to defray all expenses incident to the printing, circulating and compiling of the petition and its final presentation. PETITIONERS SEEK I T Petitions signed by A. C. Mar sters, Roseberg banker, and 400 other persons, asking the crea tion of the Umpqua-Diamond Lake highway improvement dis trict, were.filed- ln -the offices of the secretary t state here Satur day. The purpose of creating the district is to construct a high way between Roseburg and Dia mond Lake. The distance is ap proximately 35 miles. After checking the names on the petitions the secretary of state will file his report with Gov ernor Xorblad. He then will is sue a proclamation calling an election to vote on the project. Only persons living within the boundaries of the proposed dis trict will be allowed to partici pate in the election. A previous attempt to establish the Improvement district failed. (Continued from Pag X.) Norblad will win. An engineer back from several months reconnoitering was inter viewed. "We haven't heard much political talk," said be. "I don't know a thing abont the race." Two women at a local rummage sale were seen. One was chary of expressing an opinion but be lieved "that the man 'in' has an advantage. Portland is a factor to be reckoned with, however." The other woman was positive: "Norblad will win. easily. We Norwegians will stick together." As far as this party's views were concerned the election was not necessary. Incumbent Believed Most Likely Winner "Quote me as saying that Nor blad will win on general princi ples.", said a local storekeeper. "I don't know why I am for him but he'll win." Another shopkeeper was less sure. "Corbett looks good to me; I believe Hall is not so strong here. However, the race is not over." A democratic warhorse will support Mr. Bailey, of course, but predicts success for the incum bent. From a barber, customary source of all political news comes the report that "the boys Just are not talking politics here. I think the Big Three candidates are all good. The only talk, though, which we have heard is about the justice of the peace race." Finally came an Interview with a university professor. "No talk whatever about the governorship race, yet," he reports. "I don't know bow I'll vote and I haven't heard anyone else express their views." Governor Finds Going Rather Rough In the time ahead much may happen. The past week brought more real campaign isstfes to the front than the entire two months preceding it. Norblad was faced with the problem of smoothing out the riffles in the sporting stream and at the same time ex plaining why ho had fought the interests of the sportsmen so con sistently while in the senate. Cor bett had to answer to inquiries about his road position and his opposition to the office building appropriation from the state acci dent fund. Hall on Saturday was queried regarding suspension of a stock selling permit by the cor poration commissioner. The governor received praise and blame alike for his open and quick rebuff to the public service commission. The Oregonian gave him the first political spanking editorially which the sedate' organ had ad ministered in a season while the same day the Portland News gave Mr. Norblad open congratulations on his stand. Rumors of Miller's resignation as chairman of the commission were pravalent. The governor's seven-league boot travels which show no signs of abatement while the campaign Is on, also came In for criticism. All in all, nothing is certain at the present and with more than two months ahead, all the voter may now believe is "what he reads in the newspapers" while the newspapers must depend on much of their Information from the voter. The circle is vicious. "His career starts a monu ment of what la best and great est in our present day dri taxa tion. He was possessed of a highly trained intellect with a su pertax grasp of fundamental principle of government and a sympathetic attitude toward great problems and their humanising solution,, which especially fitted him for public service." Representative Tilson of Con necticut, the house republican leader; "The passing of former Presi dent and recently Chief Justice Taft brings more poignant regret than probably any other American. His large hearted generous per sonality brought him the love and affection of all his fellow citizens. His pre-eminently human quali ties will doubtless be equally re membered with his service to his country. A truly great figure has fallen." Representative Garner of Tex as, democratic leader in the house: "Former Chief Justice Taft was a great man in American life and on-coming generations will undoubtedly appreciate his great public service for this country more than the present generation. His passing marks one of the greatest losses of modern Ameri can life." ENDS DM .TAFT Death Claims Former Chief Justice and President Of United States (Continued from Page I.) Holmes, was observing his 89th birthday. Final funeral arrangements, will not be made until the sons reach Washington, probably to morrow. Already, however, plans had been made tonight for the attendance of all of the ranking officials of the government) which Taft had served, in hum ble and In high place, for four decades. to make any real attempt to grapple with unemployment. It had therefore decided, beginning Monday, to push the liberal pro posals for remedying that condi tion which were Drought forward during the campaign, Mr. Lloyd George starting the ball rolling with a challenging gpeecb. Those proposals embraced a wide pro gram of public works which the liberals said would not only make a big cut in unemployment, but would increase the economic equipment and strength of the nation.

Mr. Hemenway has leased the sandwich shop in the building from Mr. Karr and will also remain active in the opera tion of the bowling alleys. The Winter Garden was open ed nearly three years ago and has been enjoying steady increase in patronage, ft has eight stand ard alleys and is the largest re creation place of its kind in the state outside of Portland. WORKERS' STATUS PORTLAND, Ore., March 8 (AP) Mayor George L. Baker today, called two conference meet ings to seek immediate relief of unemployment. Roth meetings, he said, will be held at the city hall, the first at 2 p.m.. Monday and the second at the same hour Tues day. 'To Monday's conference the mayor called private Interests in a position to influence the labor market bankers, manufacturers and other large employers. To the Tuesday meeting he called governmental representatives the dock commission, port com mission, school board, county commissioners and state highway commission. The mayor has received a flood of letters and telegrams, to say nothing of telephone calls, con gratulating him on the way he handled the communist situation here last Thursday, when a groun of self-admitted communists gath ered In the park blocks and marched on the city hall. The mayor met the communists at the entrance of the city hall and listened to their demands, promising to do all in his power to relieve the unemployment situation. TT LONDON, March 8 ( AP) The labor government, now in the midst of the naval confer ence, apparently is facing a hot parliamentary fight again next week. The liberal, party today issued a challenge to the Ramsay Mc Donald adm! istratlon on the un employment question and an nounced its Intention of opening fire in the house of commons Monday, using tie Increase In onemptoyraent a ammunition. With the conservatives plan ning a vote of censure Thursday and the liberals about to open v campaign on the unemployment; problem, the MacDonald govern ment Is faced with highly import ant activity In the house of com mons. Political opinion varies as to what the result will be but it wasneld Hkey in many quarters that the government would es cape as It did on the coal bill de b a t e by narrow majorities through the abstention of either liberals or conservatives. While both oppositlqn parties are evidently preparing to take fun advantage of the labor re gime's Increasing embarrassment over unemployment, neither the liberals nor conservatives have shown themselves keen to rlskf unseating the prime minister during the course of the naval conference. The statement Issued at the liberal party headquarters today said that the party had grown increasingly Impatient with the government's "continued failure" Date For Filing On Intangibles Is Now Passed The time for filing returns and paying the state intangibles tax without penalty or Interest ex pired here last night. The expir ation date originally was set for March 1. but was extended one week by members of the state tax commission. Estimates fixed the returns at more than $800,000. and actual payments of more than $500. 000. A large number of returns placed In the malls Saturday will reach the commission Mondav. SEARCH ON IT E Feeling Widespread That An other Candidate Needed In Mayor Race (Continued from Page I.) signatures to qualify his name for a place on the ballot; but the week pased without their being filed. Both Candidates Have Wcaknctoo Discussion of the chances of these two candidates tends toward the conclusion that Rostein, cred ited with being a good business man, will not draw outstanding support because his name has not been linked up with civic activl- that Gregory is handicapped by the fact that he is a sectional can didate, although he has la .the past been closely identified with downtown affairs. A number of public questions will face the mayoralty candidates before the. primaries, and their answers to these questions may play a large part in the results. So far. municipal ownership of the water utility has loomed as the principal issue, but since it ap pears a popular one, it is antici pated that a majority of candi dates for all city offices will at tempt to crowd onto that band wagon, where Gregory as a candi date for mayor and David O'Hara, seeking reelection to the council are already firmly perched. ties to a sufficient degree; and i dash SIMPSON WINS DASH MINNEAPOLIS.

SELDOM hat any single act been of gTcater benefit to mankind than the one which Dr. Caldwell performed back in 1885 when he wrote the prescription which has carried his fame to the four corners of the earth. Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote this prescription as he found men, women, and children suffering from those common symptoms of constipation, such as coated tongue, bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea, bilious ness, poor appetite, or lack of energy, etc. And it invariably relieved these symptoms so much more pleasantly, so much quicker than other things, that his patients simply had to tell other people about it. The demand for this prescrip ts si51 tion grew so fait that by 1RSS Dr. Caldwell was forced to have it put up ready for use and sup- ' ply drug stores with it. Today you can get the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, at all drug stores. "When you or your children suf fer from any of the symptoms of, constipation, it will pay you to remember this safe, pleasant tasting, effective laxative; made only from herbs and other pure ingredients; a real corrective fo constipation.

While a strict parti san, no one ever doubted his inte grity or his devotion to his coun try." Senator Borah of Idaho: No greater honor can ever come to an American than the people conferred upon William H. Taft, president and chief Jus tice of the United States. A mar velous career. A proud, a unique place In American history. And with all a most lovable charac ter." Senator Jones of Washington "No word of scandal baa ever been uttered against his private life. His genial, lovable dispo sition has been the delight of ev- ery one brought within Us Influ ence. His record In these supreme positions will grow brighter as the years go by and what be has done and the life he has lived, will be an inspiration to the youth of coming generations." -Senator Feas of Ohio: FATE BY OFFICIALS Members of the state board of control will not Interfere tn the prosecution of R. D. Parrish. who was arrested at Bellingham, Wash., recently charged with lar ceny of $1400 of public funds while serving as bookkeeper at the state tuberculosis hospital here. This was announced Saturday after Parrish and some of his friends appeared before the board of control and asked to be permitted to return the money and halt prosecution. It was ar gued that since leaving Salem Parrish had married and that he had made irood as an instructor instructor in a business college at Bellingham. The owner of the business col lege In which Parrish is employed was one of those who interceded in his behalf.
