THK GAZKTTE-TIMES, IIEITNER, QKECoX, Till RsliAY. OCT. -- V'-"- ANTI-CCr.lPULSGRY VACCINATION MEASURE At the tlcetlun, November 2, the j Tod'rs of Orcgou must dtclilc on a j QjtBiiou of ibe laoet vital luiporiunwt ' tu the lualth of this state. On the ballut there will In. Number 313 a bill, entitled. "Anti-Compulsory vao clnutluu ameuduii-nt." While this proposed measure pur ports, upon ita face, to be a bill de signed to prevent so-called undue com pulsory activities cd the part of health officers as at pits nt constituted, ita provisions are dieiiued by competent legal advisers absolutely to tie the hands of these health officers, so that. In case of an epidemic of disease of any kind no matter how serious- to a community no stringent measures could be law fully lakes to protect tue people. Officials of the cities and counties and even the Governor, would be es topped from compelling vaccination or inoculation In the gravest of. epidem ics, should this Ull become the 'law of Oregon, it is held by lawyers of the highest standing. All of the progressiva work of the State Board of Health and any asso ciation of people organized for the purpose of disease prevention would be rendered helpless under the provi sions of this proposed law, for even . the curbing of venereal diseases, now being so successfully carried on for the general public welfare, would be ruined. All of the experience of ages, gath ered at terrible cost to humau lift all efforts at preventable objective would be annulled, If this proposed measure should become the law of the stale. While purporting to go only to the- extent of accomplishing the prevention of compulsory vaccination. Its language would prohibit the en forcement of measures long known to be necessary in the protection of the people. The best authorities on health legis lation and the best ! kk! tal-nt of the suite are agrwd that, tlsould tills measure receive a majority vote of the people, the result wouid be ruinous to public health. A CRAVL HEALTH MENACE Whatever vie one may take upon the straight question of vaccination, It would seem, after careful perusal of the so-called "Anti-Compulsory Vac cination Amendment," on the ballot for November 2, that it should be de feated by an overwhelming majority because of ks iniquitous over-reaching provisions, cloaked under a misleading title. Competent authorities, both legal and medical, who have gone into this bill, declare it to be all-inclusive as to ita effect, if adopted by the voterB,-on the subject of prevention of diseases, no matter of what nature. That'll robs the authorities, duly constituted, of power to act, even in an epidemic emergency, is the declaration of men and women who have given it the most j careful scrutiny. Read carefully the following excerpt from this bill and determine for your self what It meaus: "No form of vaccination, inoculation or other medication shall be made a condition in .this state for admission to or attendance In any public school, college, university or other educational institution; or for the employment of any person In any capacity or for the exerclBe of any right, the performance of any duty or the enjoyment ol any privilege." . Under the provisions thus stated, If the English language means anything, compulsory vaccination, even In the gravest emergency, would be prohib ited in the- case of typhoid, paraty phoid, rabies, tetanus (lock-jaw), bu bonic plague, whooping-cough, and any other (llBase, Including the moat dnn- gerous and loathsome venereal dis orders, la short, It would absolutely render powerless the hands of the authorities in every city and county of Oregon, If It became a law. A worse calamity could scarcely be conceived. This more or less innocent-appearing title is No. 313 on the ballot, lath-led "Antl-Vaeclnation Amendment." Vote it NO in capital letters. All of the armies and navies of the world bave found vaccination and In oculation of untold value In saving life, but th framers of the misnamed "Anti-Compulsory Varch a-;.n Am-nd-ment," to to toted Upon ai the el.-rtl.,n November 2, discount ail 'if that ex perience and testimony Rooster Just Like Mother.

"Never before have I been In a community where matters per taining to public health have been taken out of the bauds of experts and put to a vote before the people," declared Dr. Wiley.

Unless Oregon develops Iter skipping fa cilities she cannot expect to get her share of the world's business. Tt rests with the citizens of this' state whether Oregon shall develop her wonderul resources and reach out for bigger markets, or remain practically an inland state. To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be, dredged in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers from Portland to the Pacific Ocean. This will enable farmers and stockmen and lumbermen in the interior of the state to reach the markets of the world at a lower freight rate and greater profit to themselves. The taxing and bonding power to make tliese improvements can be granted the Port of Portland only by the people of the state. You and every other citizen will benefit if you, on November second, VOTE 310 YES ON THE BALLOT The Port of Portland Dock Commission Consolidation Bill. OREGON PORT DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE L. W.
