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?

It is up to the voters of Oregon to" ? Vj

of the state, shall be permitted to continue to brand CP"
dentists as quacks and charlatans and refuse them a Ik
