To the Voting Men and Women of Oregon Here is a question of vital imp. ance for your solution. A law proposed for the regulau of the practice of dentistry ia tti, state will bo on the ballot at Ut November elcctiou. Under this new law, any capbl reputable dentist who is a gradustt of a dental college of rccogniztj standing can practice dentistry U Oregon by filing a copy of his diulo- ma with the affidavit of two citizens of the state, testifying 1 to his good moral character. I present this law to the voters of Oregon in the interest of a much-needed reform. In fl7( days I secured 17,190 names to the petitions for this proposed new law. Tho law as it stands now is a menace to tho public wel fare because it makes Czars of the board omental exam--inors who are tho servile creatures of the ethical dentil trust: Because this trust seeks to keep out of tho state iny dentists who will not join it in pilfering the public; Because tho ethical 'dental trust is trying to keep the public iiL ignoranco as to the cost of dentistry and is charg ing tho people exhorbitant prices for a poor class of work. When I came before the Oregon Dental Board for ex amination, the members of the board knew me and the; deliberately denied me a license. They knew I would givi the ethical dental trust the hardest competition it in ;ver had, and they thought that by branding me an in competent and a "qnack" they could drive me out of the state, as they have done scores of other dentists. But I did not run. I determined to stay and fight I ant confident that I know as much dentistry as any mem ber of the ethical dental trust, and I have forgotten mors about dentistry than lots of them know. I am a graduats of the Philadelphia Dental College, one of the best known and second oldest dental schools in America. I hari practiced dentistry for nearly twenty-five years. I am now licensed to practice in the state of New York, Maine, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and in Canada. Do you believe that if I were incompetent and "quack" that I could procure a license in these states! Docsn 't that show you that I am a competent dentist and that the Oregon Dental Board is- simply trying to dejtroy mo because I won't join their so called ethical cliquet I have faith in the fair-mindedness of the people of Oregon. I don't believe thoy want to give special privileges ' to any clique or class of men. I charge the dental trust of Oregon with being n organ isation In restraint of trade, for the reason that it seek to prevent competition and keeps other dentists out of the state; I charge it with being un-American, because it is opposed to fair play; I charge it with being a detriment to the public heal because it ia using obsolete methods in the practice of dentistry and is breeding dangerous drug habits by cocaine and arsenic. Four months ago I opened a dental office in the City of Fortlan.l, containing fourteen chairs. Soon thereafter I was compelled to put in two more, and now I am enlarg ing my office so that I can put in four additional chain, making twenty in all. I have the largest practice of say dentist in Portland, and the ethical dental trust knew that I would soon have tho largest practice here, beeause the same thing has resulted in erory city in which I hv established an ffiee. That is the real reason why they wanted to put me out of business here. f Every dentist in my office in Portland is a graduate of experience and has been given a license to practice by tk Oregon board bcfore it was known that they were a pert of the rainless Tarkcr organization. Nearly every one ol them had to come kcre as strangers to take th examination. If it had been known that thoy were to work for me, the board would have refused them a. license, as it refused w a license. " Do you believe that to make a success of your buslnea is a crime? Should I be branded a qnack and run out wm.m imi-w v.n.... t m nftful dentist? If k.v. minj wait motfcmla ef taking cars oi your teeth, should I not be entitled te do the work W should you not have as opportunity of having work? If the ethical dental trust is a good thing, why not come out in the open and show why and how it is "good trust I" Calling me name and trying to drive out of the state doesn't prove anythng, nor docs it ' that the dental trust is a patriotic organiiaion. I have established an office on the second floor of U Merchants Trust building, comer of Sixth and Washing streets. I have here competent and finely equipped dentsi specialists, who uso the most scientific methods kB0? dentistry. Xcither cocaine nor arsenic is used in my o yet all of our dentistry is done without pain. We best of dentistry at a reasonable price, and guarantee s work to be satisfactory. '",.;, It is up to the voters of Oregon to" ? Vj Oregon dental trust, which has control of the dental M of the state, shall be permitted to continue to brand CP" dentists as quacks and charlatans and refuse them a Ik to practice in this state.
