Marriage Examination Law
AMONG measures on the November general election
haUnt is a bill which would reauire Oregon marriage
license applicants to be medically examined, physically
and mentally. This bill would require that such exami
nations show freedom from contagious or infectious ven
ereal diseases, on the part of both the male ana iemaie
applicants. It would require blood tests for determina
tion of syphilis and microscopic examinations to determine
gonorrheal infection.
This bill was referred to the people by the legislature.
Tho nrtriimpnt in its behalf. Dresented in the Voters'
pamphlet, is one of the most
fnllv nrenared statements in
Vie siictrpsted that every voter read it.
Laws that have been enacted with regard to com
municable diseases and marriage have been largely of
no value. Physicians' examinations have been super
ficial in all too many cases. urtnermore, no examination
has been required of a female applicant, a foolish gesture
of gallantry not compatible with the facts shown in
venereal disease statistics.
Feeble-mindedness. insanity and delinquency are in
creasing at an alarming rate
known that feeble-minded persons beget nothing but
feeble-minded children. State institutions for the
mentally afflicted are overflowing, and the waiting lists
are long. It is estimated that more than two per cent
of the population of the state is feeble-minded.
Dr. Jame3 A. Best, state senator from Pendleton, and
Archie K. Higgs, Multnomah county state representative,
signed the argument in the Voters' pamphlet, concluding
it with the statement that the current proposals are made
with the purpose of safeguarding marriage and prevent
ing the consequences of hasty and thoughtless wedlock.
Those who agree that this law will safeguard future gen
erations, that it will stay the spread of venereal diseases,
and that it will help in preventing feeble-mindedness,
will vote S06 X Yes on their general election ballot.
They Deserve Credit
TWO organizations which deserve a word of commenda
tion in connection with the serious fire of Thursday
night are the Klamath Falls fire department and the
Salvation Army.
The fire in the Montgomery Ward warehouse was
tardily discovered. By the time the fire department
reached the scene the building, filled with inflammable
merchandise, was full of flames from end to end. Chief
Ambrose and his men were confronted with the problem
of not only controlling the flames in the warehouse, but
preventing their spread to abutting buildings.
They waged a long and difficult battle against the
stubborn blaze. Informed that considerable quantity of
oil was stored in the rear, they fought as quickly as pos
sible to that sector and prevented the oil from burning.
Lines were run to the roof to fight the spread of flames
to the adjoining tarpaper covers. It was not possible to
save the merchandise or to prevent virtual destruction to
the warehouse, but the department did all that could be
expected of it, and more.
For many hours after it was no longer a spectacular
blaze, the firemen and Chief Ambrose worked, putting
out fires burning in the merchandise and pumping water
from the basement. As long as they were on the job
the Salvation Army stayed there, serving hot coffee and
' doughnuts to the weary firemen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. to Mr.
Roosevelt's trust - butter,
Thtirman Arnold, went Into th
Invisible, recesses of the budget
bureau without detection the
other day and asked tor a million
dollars more to bust trusts next
year.
The assistant attorney general
now has BJ busters (having added
S allies July). It he gets hla ex
tra million dollars be will have
about 170 (six times at many as
In July.)
How much busting may be done
by these is suggested by the (act
that Theodore Roosevelt's famous
trust annihilation bureau con
tained exactly S lawyers, and 4
stenographers. There were 15
lawyers and an undeterminable
number of stenographers on the
Job when the new deal came in.
WANTS BUSTERS
While this may suggest busi
ness Is in for a lot of busting, Mr,
Arnold believes It would be only
about one-fifth of what It ahould
be. He hinted In a SDeech Sentenv
ber 3 (and his associates confirm
the Impression) that he looks for
ward to the happy day when he
will have about 1200 busters like
the SEC. His present force he re
gards as "a corporal's guard to
police 130,000,000 people."
How much he will get la up to
the budget bureau, the president
and eongress, but there la no In
dication that any official, lnclud
lng Mr. Arnold, will place much
emphasis publicly on the subject
right now. Business Is Just catch
ing Its breath in a breathing spell
and might gasp at startling ap
paritions.
Business spokesmen here say It
la not the numbers that matter ao
much as Mr. Arnold's Ingenuity.
While they lika him personally.
they aay he is constantly develop
ing new ideas abont what a trust
Is, even with a limited number of
associate thinkers. For Instance,
respectable physicians In the
American Medical association
never realized until Arnold recent
ly brought charges that they have
been law violators In an anti
trust combine for years.
If successful, Arnold will
(among other things) establish
four regional officer In New
York, Chicago, San Francisco and
Dallas; look further Into weat and
east coast oil cases', more milk
cases; try a test suit on Identical
rubber tire bids received by the
government.
NO EXTRA SESSION
No extra session of eongress
will be called. That's definite It
would be -Called only for rail or
farm legislation (upon which the
administration is not prepared to
move yet) or for war (upon which
no one la prepared to move).

more accurate title Is being
sought. Roosevelt once called
Glass "the unreconstructed rebel"
but less partisan counsel would
probably suggest something like
"the only tree left standing" or
"nonshatterable glass."

Early In Septomuer a woman In
New York killed her two' mull

belief that the cancer from which
this womnn suffered would, with
auy certainty, attack tho chlldrun.
Neither waa there any rvuitoii to
believe that sho horW would In
evitably die of cancer.
