OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920 SUBSCRIPTION $3.00 PER YEAR IT If LATiDN OF CHILDREN Proposed Law Does' Not Interfere With Quaran tine, But Objects To The Foolish Innoculation Of Healthy Children By The Different Health Boards The Public School Protective Lea gue of Oregon is perfecting plans for a vigorous campaign on behalf of its Anti-Compulsory Vaccination Amendment to the State Constitution to be voted on in November. This Amendment was placed upon the bal lot by approximately 18,000 voters of the state, and it is said that -all of these names were secured by vol untary solicitors. . . . "The question of the efficacy of vaccination is not involved," declares the Secretary of the League, Miss Josephine Fritz.'witll headquarters at 323 Chamber of Commerce Building, Portland. "This proposed law does not attempt to prohibit- vaccination or any other form -of medical treat ment or to interfere with lawful quarantine. Its purpose is to pre scribe, by fundamental law, that vaccination and innoculation "shaT not be compulsory, - "If vaccination has all the merits which are claimed for it, no compul sion should be necessary on its be half. If, oh the contrary, 'vaccina tion does not protect against small pox, and is, according to many" re putable authorities, not only value less, but the cause of jancer, "tuber culosis, syphillis and death, any com pulsion on its behalf is- criminal." " Leading authorities agrep that vac cination is the cause, of more 'deaths" than smallpox. v. . A campaign committee has 'been appointed and the chairman, Mrs. C. F.

To enlighten him the En terprise answers his question with pleasure: The publicun Congress submitted the woman's suf frage amendment to the states for ratification. Re duced appropriations a billion dollars yes, about $1,G85,OUO,0OO below the Democratic administra tion's estimate; returned the tele graph, cable and telephone lines to their owners; enaced a railroad re organization law which has been pronounced One of the greatest constructive measures ever placed upon the statute books; extended ami .enlarged the food control act to prevent hoarding; umended the wur-rii.k insurance law to increase the allowances to seriously injured soldiers; repealed the daylight sav ing law because of the hardships it entailed upon iigricultural interest:; provided additional compensation for ill-paid and overworked em ployes of the po.ital service; amend ed the federal reserve act to pro vide for organization to promote and extend our foreign trudr; au thorized by luw the incorporation of tl.e American Legion; framed -and passed a measure to facilitate the marketing; of agricultural products, including live totk, mid in cnaaing the umounU banks may loun on paper secured by farming commodities; udded a provision to the federal criminul code to more vigorously puniih theft of motor vehicles in transportation; in cn 'isecl the allowances to wounded and disabled soMiers of the World War; created more liberal pro vi: ,on for the vocV.' iolu.l trainirir of wounded nol- dieri and saiior-: placed upon the Ktfctuia books an natural resources of the country and promises to be of untold benefit to the people. The Republican Con gress hus exposed the profligate waste countenanced by Democratic officials in the name of war and called a halt to further misuse of public funds which took the form of outright plunder and graft. Investigations have clearly established that millions upon millions have been squandered in get-rich projects for which the taxpayers are today carrying the heaviest burdens in history. The Republican Congress, in the fact of obstruction of all departmental heads at Washington, I, .. I, , has compelled- retrenchment and economy by cutting off appropria ions for thousands upon thousands of useless employees and thus cur tailed the orgy of government ex travagance. 'Ihe Republican Con gress, through a Republicun United States Senate, unmoved by pres sure ut home and abroad, Ameri canized through and through the proposed League of Nutions cov enant which, otherwise, would huve spelled the sacrifice of American integrity to foteign entaiiglemenU, doomed the Monroe Doctrine and imperiled the future of the nation. No Congress has ever served the country more wisely or patriotical ly thun this Republican Congress. IH record is brilliant with achieve ment und its treat constructive 111 1 woik is yet only fairly begun. The Democratic administration, susceptible to all sorts of influences, afraid of their uliudowj and subordinat ing all other consideration1 to politics, has disregarded public interests and permitted thing to drift.
