for relief and besides what was expended
for other activities which have separate
treasures, the Charity Organization SO
ciety expended about $4,000 Anyone who
quotes these figures and infers from them
that there is disproportion between re-
lief and the cost of administering relief is
misleading the public. What these figures
show is that the society is engaged in
other activities besides relief giving In
round numbers $4,000 was the cost of con-
Quoting the New York School of Philan-
thropy. This is training school for those
who are expecting to engage I'm civic or
social work, 1t is not supported by contrib
utors at all, but by endowment and tut
ton fees.
Thirty thousand dollars was spent on the
work OF the committee on the prevention
of tuberculosis and it's affiliated Associa-
ton OF tuberculosis Clinics. None OF this
was for relief and none OF It was for the
expense Of administering relief. 1t is more
fundamental than relief. 1t Is prevention.
1t is public education. Largely as a result
of a campaign carried on by that COM
mittee the city was induced to increase
it's appropriations to the health department
and to the Board of Education, and as a
result we have open air schools for
anaemic children and an adequate corps
Of health department district nurses, visit
ing the homes OF poor consumptives. These
| things mean more than fuel and groceries.
They mean health and the saving Of life.
They mean stamping out infection.
Advice and Information.
The society spent a little over 5000 in
tts bureau Of advice and information.
which is for the purpose Of reporting to
its members and others Of charitable
agencies which appeal for financial support.
This bureau exposes fraudulent enterprises
and gives impartial reliable information
concerning the hundreds OF institutions,
societies and enterprises OF various kinds
In the city. Frequently, through this
/ bureau, substantial aid Is given in the
| reorganization OF charitable agencies in
such a way as to tree them from some
/ ground OF criticism. one may put a high
or a low estimate on this kind Of service.
but obviously It has nothing to do with the
amount spent in relief.
The usefulness Of any special activity Is
not always gagged by the amount OF
money which II costs. For example the
society spent less than S5O0O for its special
employment bureau, the object Of which is
90 find work OF sUecia kinds for handi-
/ capped persons-those who are not able to
/ do fun days work in the ordinary sense.

In the year ending September 80, 1910.
the Charity Organization society dIsbursed
in direct relief a little less than $4,000.
Some people think that Il is too much.
Some think that II is not enough. am
among the latter We need more money
for widows and dependent children. more
for the families of consumptives and moro
for many other particular kinds OF dis
tress.
What We need for relief we always
raise for that particular purpose. We be-
lieve in what is called the case-by-case
system Of raising relief funds. What we
mean by this is that II We require $40 or
SIS a month for family for a year we
prefer TO ask people to- give that amount
for that particular family. We open
special account with the money thus given
and we keep is relgiously for the family
for whom 1t was raised so long as II Is
needed. II IL is not needed we give it back
TO the donors II they want IT or we trans
fer Il with the consent OF the donors to
some other similar case
That does not often happen. Generally
We need for a family all that we have Sc
cured for them. Our purpose is not the
''tidtng Overt OF a family into next
weeks misery" but family rehabilitation.
We pension widows until children can
properly begin TO earn wages We care

deserters and bring them back 10 their

With us relief IL but means TO an end.
In some instances we give no relief what

large sum OF money in direct relief be-
fore we get through. OF course, In the

MUST HAVE GAME LICENSE
Receipts Will Not Be Accepted Here
after, Says Warden.

PORTLAND, Sept. 49, Hunting or
fishing upon receipts furnished by no
taries and justices of the peace will
not be allowed in the future, accord
ing to instructions recently issued by
the state board of fish and game com
missioners. Deputies all over the
state have been told to arrest any
hunter or fisherman who fails 10 show
a regular fishing or hunting license
in his possession, upon demand. The
holder OF receipt will be treated in
every way the same as though he had
never made application for license.
The reason for this action is plain.
In the past, notaries and justices Of
the peace, who have authority to
collect for licenses, issue a receipt and
mail the money to the county clerk,
who, in turn mails a license to the
notary or justice, to be delivered to
the applicant, have failed to do so,
pocketing the money and advising the
applicant that receipt is equivalent
to license. To stop this petty graft
ing Game Warden Finley insists that
licenses, in the future, will be recog-
nized as the only evidence of a right
to hunt or fish.
Have Complete Record.
"We have a fairly complete record
of notaries and justices who have re-
tanned money belonging to the game
fund, " said Warden Finley, "and
they are located all over the state.
These men have actually accepted
money for licenses and made no re-
turns of it, nor have they secured IL
censes for those who have made appli-
cation. By arresting those holding
merely receipts for licenses we will
shortly run down those who have
been guilty of this fraud"
1t is provided by law that any
justice of the peace or notary in the
state may receive money for the coun-
ty clerk on application for hunting or
fishing licenses, and the game warden
has no disposition to place an obsta-
Gle in the way of hunters to thus
easily secure their rights. He is firm,
however, in his intention to break up
a practice which, it is declared, has
proven demoralizing to many public
and semi-public officials in all parts
Of Oregon.

Importance Of Naval Display For
Ground Breaking Festivities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. Ev-
cry effort is being made to have fit-
ting naval display in San Francisco
harbor during the presence Of Presi-
dent Taft next month. The directors
Of the Panama-P Pacific international
Exposition company believe that the
occasion Of the ground breaking of
the exposition is an event Of such i'm
portance that the Secretary of the
Navy should have the Pacific squad
ron in the bay during the big celebra-
ton.
1t is understood that the Pacific
feet is to go to Hawaii for battle
practice and maneuvers and is sched-
uled to leave for that distant port on
September 16. AT present the cruiser
California is at Mare Island, prepar-
ing for the long trip and the cruis-
ers West Virginia and Colorado are
in the harbor making preparations for
the journey.
Approaching the Importance Of
having a naval demonstration on the
occasion of the ground breaking,
President Charles G. Moore, of the
Panama-Pacif1c International Exposi-
tion company, yesterday sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Assistant Secre-
tary of thee Navy, Beekman Win
throp:
"The Exposition ground breaking
in San Francisco on October IA will
bring thousands of people from states
west of the Rocky Mountains to see
and hear the President Of the United
States, who officiates on that occa-
sion. Many of these people have
never seen warship, but they are
filled with pride in our navy. A big
naval show here will stimulate inter-
est in the navy throughout the entire
West, and aside from this, the navy
should be represented in this great
national affair, inaugurating a cele-
bration commemorating the compile
tion Of the worlds greatest national
undertaking, the Importance Of which
is recognized by the President of the
United States, who will offciate in
person. Cruisers West Virginia, Col
orado and California at Mare Island
should be held here and other ships of
war detailed. for the celebration. We
earnestly request you to direct the
feet to remain at San Francisco until
after the Presidents visit.

Substitute For Corr.

Milo maize is found to be an excel
lent substitute for corn on the dry
lands of Eastern Oregon. Expert
ments made with it the past season
prove that it will make a good stock
plant for the semi-arid districts.
Because Of its successful introduction
into the interior, many farmers will
probably plant large tracts to this
crop next year, feeding it to cattle
and hogs.
