18 ME SrOKXINO OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, APRII 22, 1916. PROPERTY LAWS ARE TOPIC AT MEETING Women Speakers Urge Study of Conditions to Secure Full Civil Rights for Sex. 8ULAND DECISION LAUDED lioitlciu'c Opinion Is Trhi m 1 1 Mrs. A. C . "- Asjrts Home Is r Wile Elects to Hailed a Xcwbill 1iere Live. " 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. to 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. I Ian auto truck concern in Seattle. Is at the Oregon. R. L. Benson, of Reno, Nev., is at the Eaton. F. S.
