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

It is directed against the mnnufVnire and sale of Oieomarginne,

Facts to Remember!
1 The OLEOMARGARINE E1LL w.Il
not in any way bench the Dmry industry
of Oregon fcy the implied strengthening of
the market or increasing the consumption
of dairy products.
2 The local butter industry is entirely
regulated by national demand and the
manufacture and sale of Oleomargarine
and Nutmargarines can never, ir the least,
affect the dairy industry in the state.
3 Further state lejrisUtion in the form

As a Citizen of Oregon You
Need the Port of Portland
If -you owned a store you could not make a big success unless your business meth
ods were as modem as your competitors'. 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
