C. E. Spence, master of the Oregon
State Grange, atten«ied the seanonn of
tbe National Grange, and is returning to
Oregon enthusiastic over tne work ac
complished. While Woman Suffrage
was defeated by the National Grange
last year by a vote of 26 to 24, the
women won out this year by a vote of
30 to 26. Mr. Spence coiuùden* this
change of front remarkable and the en
dorsement of Woman’s Suffrage as a
great step forward.
Last year, Prohi
bition was treated in a rather indefinite
way, while this year the National
Grange was practically a unit in en-
doreing National prohibition. Tbe pres
ent conservation poliey of the Forestry
department came in for emtorsement,
and very progressive ideas on Rural
Credits were adopted as the policy of the
National Grange. It waa decided to de
mand that tbe Government provide for
rural credit purpose aome circulating
medium as in the case of tbe Regional
Banks.
The Grange arrayed itself
against bonding for road construction,
largely ou the idea that road building is
still in its experimental stage. It also
declared in favor of building market
roads first. There was practically un
animous opposition to tlie propose«! in
crease of army, navy and armanent.
The National Grange insists on raising
the standard of citizenship rather than
large sums of money for destraetive pur
pose. Strong peace resolutions were
adopted. It waa also agreed that there
should be a uniformity of tax laws as
affecting states, this to prevent the tax
dodging that has become so flagrant on
the part of wealthy citizens owning
property in many states
Tbe National Grange is composed of
the Master and Matron of tbe State
Granges, of the nation, and at this time
fifty-seven were present, representing
practically all the states of the Union.
Mr. Spence spent considerable time at
the Oregon Building and on tbe Exposi
tion grounds and expressed tbe confi
dence that Oregon has made a w«.nder-
fully effective showing here, one from
which the state is certain to derive great
benefit. B. G. Leedy, of Corvallis, for
merly Master of tbe State Grange, was
also there, and was equally enthusiastic
over the Oregon showing.
