Amendment to the State Constitution
to be voted on in November. This
Amendment was placed upon the bal

of the state, and it is said that -all
of these names were secured by vol

vaccination is not involved," declares
the Secretary of the League, Miss
Josephine Fritz.'witll headquarters at

Portland. "This proposed law does
not attempt to prohibit- vaccination
or any other form -of medical treat

vaccination and innoculation "shaT
not be compulsory, -
"If vaccination has all the merits

constructive measures ever placed

soldiers; repealed the daylight sav

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
