Roast Practice
of fSpHtting Fees
Physicians Organization Says Pacts
Have Led to Country Wide Epidem-
ic of Operations.
UNITED PRESS L1AsED wian.l

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 16.-De-
nunciation of the practice of physicians
in splitting fees" and of consequent
bargains between physicians and sur
geons, which have led to a countrywide
epidemic of operations, was voiced to-
day in recommendation from the iu-
dicial council of the American Medical
Society to the house of delegates of
the society, now in session here. 1t
urged that a resolution be adopted ex.
pelling from the organization any men,
Der splitting fees or giving or receiv-
ing a commission.
A committee of the society reported
that the practice of splitting fees is
prevalent in the states of California,
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indi,
ana, Ohio, the DakOtas and in New
York City. The assertion is made that
the practice eventually leads to a great
deal of needless surgery. The judicial
council also strongly condemned the
practice of hospitals paying physicians
a commission for patients sent them.

VALUE OF GOODNESS
IS GREAT DECLARES

DR.. Homan Points Out That
Those Successful in Busi-
ness Are Religious.
FAREWELL MEETING HELD
Y. M. and Y. W. G. A. Gather and in
Evening DR.. Frye breaches Pow
:.! erful Farewell Sermon.

Yesterday was big day at William
ette university. In the morning the
baccalaureate sermon before the grad
uates of the college of liberal arts was
delivered by President Homan in the
First NJ. E. church. In the afternoon
Dr. HOman led the farewell meeting of
the Y, M. and Y. W. c. A. and in the
evening, DR.. W. II. Frye, of the Sunny
side Methodist church, Portland, deliv-
cred the farewell sermon to the Chris
tian associations.
Both the senior class and the faculty
attended the baccalaureate sermon in
their gowns. They made an imposing
sight as they marched down State street
from Eaton Hall to the church, the
professors, attired in their various col
'ored gowns, denoting the different de-
grees conferred upon them and the Sc
niors in their regular senior attire
gowns and caps,
Value of Godliness.
DR.. Homan took for the subject of
his sermon, "The Divine Investment, E"
taking his text from the eighth verse of
fourth chapter of First Timothy. The
discourse was one of the most powerful
and impressive that Salem people have
been privileged to listen to this year.
The Doctors main theme was the value
of godliness. He explained that the
only investment which will yield never
ending returns, the surrendering Of
one s self to Christ. To further bear
out his statements, he cited the fact
that there is hardly big business cor.
poration, outside of the liquor and to-
bacco business, that has become prom
inent throughout the United States, but
has Christian men at the head of it..
His conclusion was that all men who
would achieve really big things must
first become gOdly
He finished by delivering the charge
to the graduating class, exhOrting them
to do the biggest, best things in life
and to so conduct their lives as to be a
credit to their Christian training and
their Alma Mater.
Song and Testimony Service.
In the afternoon the Y. NJ. and Y. W.
e. A. held song and testimony service.
Many glowing tributes were given to
Willamette, school where Christian
influence abounded and. where many
persons had been helped into a bigger
and better life.
DR.. Frye's sermon of the evening was
a fitting climax for the day. He urged
the members of the Christian associa-
tions to acquire the right characteristic
Tor successful men and women and then
to so develop them that they might 60
out in the world and furnish the much
needed leaders in lines Of social ser
vice and the general betterment Of man

day held that the two.cent passenger
rate and the maximum freight rate laws

The situation is regarded as critical
in the Paint Creek and New River dis.

UNITED rnHss lsAsHD wrnu.l

Washington, June 16.--oregon's 3 max
imum freight and passenger rate law
was declared by the United States su-
preme court to be not confiscatory. The
decision was rendered in an action
known as the "oregon rate cases."
brought by the Southern Pacific rail-
road, the Oregon and California rail-
road and the Oregon Railroad 6 Navi-
cation company.
In its decision, however, the court re-
affirmed its Estates right" decree in
the Minnesota rate case.
The Southern Pacific, o. R. & N,
and California railroads attacked the
Oregon laws In two cases.
The Southern Pacific sued to eujoin
reduced class rates fixed by the Oregon
railroad commission south from Port
land, alleging an annual loss Of sl500OO
thereby. The railroads alleged the
Oregon law creating the railroad COM
mission was invalid because its order
affected interstate commerce, provided
excessive penalties, was not uniform,
and conferred Judicial and legislative
powers upon the commission in viola.
tion of congress, right to regulate in
terstate commerce, An injunction was
refused and the railroads appealed.
In the Oregon test case the o. r. 8
N. railroad Of the Hartman system ap-
pealed from judgment of the Oregon
federal court, giving judgment to ship
pers for freight rates over charges on
shipments Of groceries from Portland to
Oregon cities. II was contended by the
railroads that the groceries, in original
packages were first shipped from Cali
fornia and remained "interstate'
freight, making the railroad commits
sion's rate reduction order an interfer.
ence with interstate commerce.

National Highway Building.
The idea Of national highways, built
and maintained entirely by the govern
ment, has no stauncher advocate than
J. N. Lowe of Kansas City, No, vice
president of the National Highways as
ISOLATION.
In an open letter to governor Major
OF Missouri. judge Lowe says:
eff fifty million dollars were appro-
priated annually it would average about
one million to each state if distributed
equally.
IF Missouri should get one million
dollars and should distribute it equally
to every county throughout the state,
she could build about fOur-fifths of a
mile Of hard surfaced road in each
county.
But there are those in congress Il
don't think they are to be found else
wherely who seem to have a vague no
ton that the thing to do is to make
the railroad depot the hub and radiate
from that point to reach the farmers
produce; but let's see how that would
work
Some Questions to the Point
TN a great many counties there are
several lines Of railroad. Who will de-
eide which line 10 prefer? If all lines
are to be treated equally what would
the result be?
Take Missouri, for example. She
has an average of, say, ten depots in
each county. If each county can build
only four-fifths Of mile out Of each
fifty million dollars appropriation then
each depot would get two twenty
fifths Of a mile annually, if appropria-
tons were kept up
AT that rate it would take twelve
and one-half years to get one mile Of
road out from each depot.
The average haul in Missouri is nine
miles, so it would take 112 years to
build one road out from each depot to
meet the requirements of an average
haul, and to "radiate" in only four di-
rectiOns would take AS years If an ap-
preparation Of so million dollars were
made annually.
How to Get Roads.
what is the reasonable thing to do?
And how are we to get roads?
IF 50 million dollars is appropriated
annually for only six years and applied
TO a system of national highways it
viii build 10000 miles at an average
cost of $4,000 per mile. I believe that
this is a reasonable estimate for a
firstclass road.
This system could be made to fur
nish an average Of two trunk lines
across each state and across the con-
tinent. and all connected with national
capital"
