Elated fco as to prevent abuses.
Two States in the Union have

Bills of the same import na that
before us.
The home is the bulwark or

End most effective place of. cdu-
ation that exists. The mother
b the truest and best natural
fciardian for her children. She
n do mure for them than any
ither pprion. Nothing but mcn-
al or moral unfitness should ser
rate a mother from her child.
Ind yet, all over the country, in
very city and every State, the
ttle ones are driven from their
iomes, not for crime or wrong,
lut because of poverty. Remove
Jhe bread winner, the father.

licceetl. hut moat fail In this des
perate and unfair struggle.
It is the business of the citi
'ns of Oregon to consider the
sing generation. Conservation
l mental, moral and physical
faith of our children Is even
Jnore vital and important than
he conservation of our other re
ferees. This measure aims to
pke it possible for a widowed
pother to keep her offspring un
er her own guidance and care
Mil tliev aro old enouirh
o look out for themselves.
And last of all, attention is dir
feted to the expense. This is an
Vportant matter and one which
axpayers will .crutinize clo.ely.
This ItiU calls for a levy on
property in each county of not
"ore than one-tenth of a mill on
Nch dollar. The framers of the
Jiill have gone over this matter
farefully, and confidently assort
hat such a measure will reduce
nstead of increasing the expense
fo the tax-payers of the State
'others know how to make dol
ors go a long way. What State
nstitution can support an or-
lianed child for S7.50 a month.
"d give it decent clothing, culli-
loon ana proper training i
?Iot one, neither In Oregon or in
y other State. It is an econo-
ical measure, and will save
re than it costs. It will pay,
rniiiiy m higher ideals, anu
"a cents.
