SEVENTY FIVE PER CENT
OF ALL FiRES
ARE PREVENTABLE
Lack of precaution and preparation
against fire, and carelessness on the
part of individuals cause this wanton
waste every year.
Money that should have been spent in prevention
is lost in destruction and twice as much is required
for reconstruction. Those who use foresight and
save a little everyday are building fireproof founda
tions and fire escapes against the possibility of un
foreseen conflagration tomorrow. Save Today and
Mike Tomorrow Safe.

Ralph E. Williams Hires Orientals
While Hundreds of Ex-Service Men Need Work
President of Disabled Veterans' Auxiliary Scores Williams
- -
Mrs. George L. Williams, president of the Disabled Veteran's Auxiliary, addressed a letter to Ralph
E. Williams, Republican National Committeeman, last Thursday, demanding an explanation as to why he
employs Oriental labor in his hop yards at aime when many ex-service men are jobless..
Williams is one of the largest hop dealers in Oregon.
Mrs. Williams' letters' letter follows:
Portland, Ore., May 11, 1922.
DISABLED VETERANS' AUXILIARY
Mr. Ralph E. Williams,.
617 Board of Trade Building,
Portland, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Positive evidence having come to my knowledge that you employ Oriental labor in your
hop yards, while hundreds of unemployed war veterans and other American citizens are vainly seeking
work, I have felt it my duty as president of the Disabled Veterans' Auxiliary to inquire your reasons for
this attitude. . '
Controlling, as you do, the stock in several banks and ranking as one of Portland's wealthy men,
there would appear to be no financial reason why you should not employ at a reasonable wage your' fel
low American citizens who need work to support themselves and dependents, and exclude all Oriental
labor.
One feature that has impressed itself forcibly upon my attention is the fact .that the example set by
you js one that may influence other employers. You are not merely a private ictizen. You are the Repub
lican National Committeeman and, as such, the head of the party organization in this state and you
therefore owe it to the Republicans of Oregon to furnish by your own conduct a correct example for
other employers to follow.
I have no racial prejudice against Orientals. I simply feel that the unemployment problem since the
armistice has become so acute that our own Americ an folk should be taken care of to the entire exclus
ion of Oriental labor. You are a wealthy man and can easily afford to employ American help at proper
wages.
Yours very truly,
MRS. GEO. L. WILLIAMS,
President, Disabled Veteran's Auxiliary.

Hon. W. C. Hawley
Republican Candidate for Re-Nomination .as Representative in ' Congress
Congressman Hawley has been the representative of the entire district of
seventeen counties and of all the people resident therein, not of one section
only or of one set or clique only. During his term of service more than $16,
000,000 have been appropriated for the District forthe improvement of the
Willamette, Coquille, Coos Bay, Coos River, Siuslaw, Yaquina, Tillamook, Ne
halem, Columbia and Clatskanie waterways, more than. three-fourths of which
was originated in the House under the watchful eye and directed by the hand
of Mr. Hawley. He has also secured millions of dollars for other Federal im
provements in the District, such as Crater Lake, roads in the Forest Reser-.
yes, public buildings, protection of agricultural and horticultural crops from
ravages of pests, etc. -
No bluster or threat can make him unmindful of his obligations and he
remains at Washington -during the pending campaign attending to his duties,
having implicit trust in the people who have again and again shown "their
'faith in him by returning him to his post of duty by increased majorities'.
As indicating the high regard in which he is held both at home and at
Washington, the following brief statements are given:
"Mr. -Hawley is considered one of the ablest men in the House, courteous
in manner, effective in. speech, well informed, trustworthy because of integ
rity sound judgment and untiring industry in investigation and well liked by
the members. He has been an important factor in the framing and passage
of some of the. most important legislation ever enacted by Congress". Wash
ington correspondence of the Oregonian.
"Congressman Hawley should be re-elected. He has represented Oregon
in Congress for 16 years and has been the best Representative Oregon ever
had. Hawley is not a grandstand player to the galleries; but he is a tremen
dous worker, and is one of the most in-fluential men in Congress." Pacific H
omestead.
"Congressman Hawley is a worker and makes his office a "job" that he
fulfills to the letter. Any citizen writing Mr. Hawley on any . affair always
gets a reply and consideration. Hawley will remain in the House. He should
"Aurora Observer - .
"He has diligently attended to an immense volume of business, cheerfully
serving all in every proper way." Jefferson Review.
"Mr. Hawley has grown in power and influence since has has been here
until he has reached the unquestioned position of being one of the real leaders
of Congress." Hon. J. Q. Tilson, M:C.
"He is popular among the members of both parties and has their complete
confidence and when he speaks in Congress he has the attention, and respect
of the House." Hon. Merrill Moores. . ,
