Defeat The "Dentistry Bill"
To the Voters of Hood River County:
"At this time while so many measures are coming up for consideration we
are constantly asked to explain Bill 340 and 341, known as "Dentistry
Bill." At this time we deem it advisable to explain both sides so the voters can
see just what it means to them.
The law as it now stands upon the statute books states plainly that a dentist
applying for a license must bear a diploma from a reputable Dental College hav
ing a course of study for three years of not less than nine months each year, he
then must be examined upon the following subjects: '
Anatomy, Physiology, Patholgy, Osteology, Bacteriology,
Histology, Materia Medica, Therapeutics, Prosthesis, and Opera
tive Dentistry, all written examinations.
He also has to demonstrate his skill in practical work. If he secures a pass
ing grade of 80 he is given a lincense to practice.
The Governor appoints an examining board of five to examine all appli
cants, who serve without pay, simply an honorary appointment.
If the new law takes effect after election it will read as follows:
A graduate of any reputable Dental School in Good Standing which requires
a course of study of at least two School Years, having, yearly course of study
of not less thaisix months. There will be no examining board to prove his
efficiency, but by registering their Diploma with the Secretary of State pro
ceed to practice. The laws are as we have presented them. The argument
against the new law is that there is no such a dental school in the world that
issues such Diplomas, but, it may influence the starting of such schools for the
sole purpose of manufacturing diplomas.
Second: There is no way to prove a means of efficiency.
Third: It removes the only safeguard the people have to protect themselves.
Fourth: It would cause Oregon to be the dumping ground for all who have
failed in other States of the Union, as every State has an Examining Board.
Now, Mr. Voter, is it asking too much of a man who has chosen so im
portant a Profession, who has so much to do with your health and happiness, to
take an examination to prove his efficiency, you as voters should demand the
best of every man, the best is none to good.
The question has been asked several times, "There must be something about
this man Mr. Parker, for the dentists are all afraid of him?"
The dentists are not fighting the man, it is the issue that we are opposed to,
for after 25 years of effort to build up our profession to an equal standard with
that of Medicine, one single man can for a grudge because he is unable to pass
an examination to prove nis efficiency tries to do away with the examing board,
thereby lowering the standard of efficiency, and removing the only protection the
people have.
Study the issue and see if our argument is not a sound one.
Yours to vote 341 X NO. '

FARM PUBLICATION
BOOSTS WITIIVCOMBE
(From Mm Rural Spirit)
Before the Rural Spirit advocates a
measure, reason! big and plain mast
appear. Especially so in matters of
supreme importance to farmers. It is
only when in our opinion ttie interest
of the farmers of Oregon are in the
balance that we feel called upon to
enter into political discuion. There
ii no hesitating at all in this office in
advocating the election of James With
ycombe, farmer, for governor of Ore
gon. The future of this Mate is at is
sue ; the interests of the 'arm are at
stake. A working governor is needed,
who will be on duty coi tantly, who
will not run amuck, who will avoid the
sensational and the scandalous and who
is level headed enough to attend to the
business of the state without rant and
without hysteria.
The times are such that Oregon needs
a careful man in charge, it is up to
the farmer of Oregon to hoe his own
row ; to look out for his own laws ; to
select his own governor.
Withycombe went into the primary
contest in a cheerful, whole hearted
way, willing to accept the verdict. His
nomination was not accomplished by
cash. His great strength was in the
country. Generally, it is thought that
Withycombe will be elected by a large
majority. If so, why say so much
about it?
For several reasons. James Withy
combe is a man of simple, straightfor
ward ways. It ia not his custom to
personally attack any opponent. He
takes the position that, when a man is
nominated by direct vote of the people
of any leading party, the respectability
of the candidate has good sponsors.
Withycombe stands upon his own rec
ord and the good and great plans he
outlines for a greater Oregon. If
Withycombe had to resort to ntud sling
ing, he would remain at home.
Not so with faia opponents. While
every person of any information in Or
egon knows that James Withycombe is
agreeable, capable, energetic and hon
orable, and while those who are on the
other side of the fence politically, also
know these things perfectly well, it is
to be expected that leaders of an op
posing, forlorn hope, in their effort to
defeat him. will latterly use dark and
devious methods.
Let voters beware of this unfair
propaganda.
Believing that the election of James
Withycombe is the most important
thing before the farmers of this state
today, the Rural Spirit makes a most
earnest plea that his friends and those
who believe in useful citizenship in
official life, in the broadest sense, do
not cease their patriotic efforts until
November third is past.
Knowing that James Withycombe
stands for the best interests of its field,
which is the farm, stock, grain, dairy
or fruit, and believing in him as a man
and a candidate of ability and charac
ter; of trained mind and sincere dispo
sition, dependable and approachable,
friendly and trustworthy, this journal
can think of no reason why he should
not be elected governor, unless over
confidence on the part of his friends
leads to lack of effort at the finish of
the campaign.
This is not a time for political pref
erences among Oregon farmers. It
makes no difference whether you are
called a Republican, Democrat. Pro
gressive, Socialist or Prohibitionist,
you are still a farmer and your best in
terest ia served by placing in the gov
ernor's chsir a man who from your own
viewpoint ia best fitted to serve you.
No man has a wider knowledge of agri
cultural Oregon than has James Withy
combe. From Clatsop to Curry and
from Malheur to Multnomah his foot
prints are found and his counsel is felt.
As director of the Oregon experiment
station, in the class room at O. A. C,
in farmers' institute work, aa a lectur
er, demonstrator and judge, he ia
known to all these regions and what
they lack he knows; and with a better
understanding than any other man in
the state. Never before had the farm
and rural home such a chance to place
one of their own kindred in the gover
nor's chair.
When the experiment station was not
so well known or appreciated as now.
Director Withycombe kept pegging
away, for some years lacking equip
ment, live stock, means. Those who
are informed testify that he has made
this same station one of the foremost
in America and has shown ability and
business judgment which, in the gover
nor's office will be invaluable to Ore
gon. His good advice has proven valuable
to thousands of Oregon farmera dumg
the past score of years. It is for you
to say, Mr. Farmer, whether he haa
earned promotion at your hand and for
you to place him in a position where he
can serve your interests to still greater
profit to you.
If you were hiring a man to manage
your farm, would you select a lawyer,
dentist or so-called business man? If
it were possible to secure the services
of Withycombe for your farm problema
is there a farmer in Oregon who would
not jump at the opportunity?
Not Why? Because Jamea Withy
combe is recognised aa an authority on
agricultural problems all over the
United States. Because he has devoted
a life time in the study of needs of the
farms and farmers of Oregon, and for
the same reason that would govern you
in the management of your own busi
ness, you will recognise in Withycombe
your ideal for governor of Oregon. Aa
governor, he will not fail the farmers
of Oregon. The only issue so far aa
the governorship is concerned that the
Rural Spirit can see is for the farmera
to elect a farmer for their governor.
Celilo Canal Will Soon Be Finished
In a few months the finishing touches
should be put on the big government
canal between Big Eddy and Celilo.
Engineers in charge hope that the work
may be compeleted before high water
next summer.
At the present time about 750 men
are employed on thejob. The (officiala
in charge of the work say that at least
2,000 men have been turned away.
This is practically the only big con
struction work under way in the north
west, and the men have flocked to Big
Eddy by the hundreds looking for work.
The gates of the locks at thia end of
the canal are almost complete and it ia
expected that they will be finished .in
about three weeka.
