" Property laws based upon the civil
rishts existing between man and wife
had full discussion from many sources
yesterday afternoon, when a number of
women gathered at the Central Li
brary on' non-partisan ground to con
sider legislation in which they have a
particular personal interest. It was
the sense of the meeting that some law
fhould be drafted that should contain
the good features of both the property
holding laws now on the statute books
or tne state.
The need of education, of not only
proposed legislation, but the principles
that evoked that Jcrislatlon. were em
fhasized by Mr?. Helen Miller Senn
Fhe reviewed the two laws and gave
a history of the social and political
conditions that had led to legislation
that discriminated in favor of the male
population. -
Women's Xeed Aerted.
-he asserted that if Oregon should
have laws that would put the man
and the woman on the same footin;
regarding the joint holding of prop
rty. much of the responsibility was
on the shoulders of the women voter
who should become intimately ac
quainted with existing conditions and
be able from an intelligent standpoint
to draft and work for good legisla
tion. Her words were emphasized by
Thomas J. M.innix. who had been in-vit.-d
to tnak at the meeting.
The decision emanating from the
t-'tate Attorney-General's office that
Mr.-. G. L. Buland. a candidate for
iieleraie-at-large to tha Republican
i .invention, was eligible was greeted
"Uh applause and characterized . by
Mr.-. .. f. Newlll as "the most for
ward step in feminism since the admix
i-ion of women in the state to equal
tuff rage."
r laying Kvolved.
Mrs. Nwill asserted that the women
rf the Mate had turned the old saw.
"What is home without a mother:
Into "Wh?re is home without the
mother?" "It is where the woman
lec-t to live, and not the residence
of th- husband." was her declaration
Both the women candidates for dele-
.ate-at-large to the two big National
conventions -were present and spoke.
Mrs. Buland said that it was neces
rary that Orecon give a "practical
demonstration of its belief that women
were valuable political assets." Miss
Helen I. Tomlinson. candidate for dele-Fate-at-large
to the Democratic con
vention also pleaded for the support
f her candidacy.
Franklin I. Korell. Republican can
didate for the lower house of the State
legislature, declared that he favored a
law giving the women tne rigni
kerve on tlie jury.

SALEM FOR NAVAL BASE
c-o.NTmnvTiox op ftixt made to
COMMITTEE SECRETARY
'Wallace R. Strnble Declares Attitude
of Contributors la to Insist -
I pan Recognition.
"Palem has set the seal of its ap
Tropal on the campaign for a naval
base of the first class at the mouth of
the Columbia River by substantial in
dorsement, not only by resolutions and
telegrams sent forward to the Oregon
Congressional delegation, but by a con
tribution of $400 to the general fund of
the naval base committee." said Wal
lace It. tStruble. secretary of the com
mittee, who has arrived in Portland.
"I have never witnessed a more en
thusiastic, generous spirit of co-operation
in- any community of the North
west than that exhibited by the Capital
City of Oregon in this matter." said
Mr. Struble. "Seventy-six citizens of
the city gave Jo each and contributed
$10 each, to make up this fund. The
i-altm Commercial Club gave us a live
wire committees composed of ex-Mayor
George F. Rodgers, Hal L. Patton, Ben
jamin Brick and E. F. iJec-kebach. who
jnade the canvass within eight hours
of actual working time."
Mr. struble reports that sentiment
Jt the Capital City and throughout the
"Willamette Valley is insistent for the
recognition of the mouth of the Colum
bia River at this session of Congress
ps the site of a naval base of the first
class. The sentiment, he declares, is
of the sort which will not take "no"
for an answer.
