THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. FRIOAY, JANUARY 27, 1905. 8 STRINGENT RIEASURE Bills introduced in Legislature in Innterest of Morality. JOSEPHINE : SMITH : RAMPANT Introduce a Bill in Favor of th Man and . Ditcriminataa Against tha Woman in Matter of Taxation '"on" Personal Pro party. " f , A bill Introduced by Representative Bailey of Portland, and which ha been reported favorably by the judiciary : committee, will It passed, make a cleaning out In certain districts in the larger cities of Oregon. The law la aa follows: Section 1. Every man who by force. Intimidation, threats, persursion. prom ises, or any other means, places or leaves, or procures any other person or persons to place or leave, his wife In a house of prostitution, "or connives at, or consents or permits the placing or leaving of his wife In a houe of prostitution, or allows or permits her to remain therein, Is guilty of a felony, and shall be punished, upon conviction thereof by imprisonment In the peni tentiary for not less than one year or more than 10 years, and In all prose cutions under this section the wife shall be a competent witness against her husband. . Sec. 3. Any male person who lives with, pr who lives off of, in whole or In part or accepts any of the earnings of a prostitute, or connives In or so licits or attempts to solicit any male person or persons to have sexual Inter course, or cohabit with a prostitute, or who shall Invite, direct or solicit any person to go to a house of illfame for any immoral purpose; or any person who shall entice, decoy, place, take or receive any female child or petrson under the age of 18 years. Into any house of Illfame or -disorderly home, or any house, for the purpose of prosti tution; or any. person who, having In his or her custody or control such child, shall dispose of it to be so received, or to be received, in or for any obscene, Indecent or Immoral purpose, exhibition or practice, shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be Imprisoned In the penitentiary not less than one year nor more than five year, and fined ia any sum not less than $1009 nor more than $5000. Probably ' one of the' most foolish measures Introduced In- the house Is one by Smith of Josephine, f. In fact, he has introduced twice as many bills as any one man, and not one of them has any perttThVlast freak of Josephine Smith, la' to exempt from taxation $300 ot' property ,fo householders taiifc It the property belongs to the women it is not. exempt, but must pay taxes, the bill Is as follows: i .- Section t Jo householder shall be taxed upon any property except such as be may own In excess of $300. In making the assessment of the prop erty of a householder the assessor shall deduct from the total value of all prop erty owned byVny householder the sum of $500. Said deduction shall be made by the assessor and not by the taxpayers, and the amount of taxable property and the deduction of $500 shall be in all instances placed by the assessor upon the roll notwithstanding that the value of the property assessed may be less than $500. Sec. 2. This exemption of $300 shall not be allowed to any married woman. home for goods. There Is not a firm In Chicago, or even In Portland or any other city, that contributes a dollar for building up Astoria or contributes in any way to ita enterprises. Every dtllnr sent out of the city la bo much money taken out of the circulating money of the , city, and If every one were to do so, It would be but a start time before the cry of hard times would be heard all over the city. Every man, woman and child should work for Astoria. Ironlse home iner chants and they will patronise you when necessity urlsea. Montgomery & Ward dont buy tickets to church fairs, charitable or other entertain ments, and why should Astorlana pat ronise any firm or concern not Inter ested In building up the city and fos tering Its Industries. There Is not an Instance 'or record where Montgomery & Ward or any Portland concern ever sent to Astoria for goods. The people In those cities work for the upbuH Ing of home merchants, and' that Is one reason why they are prosperous. Worst of All Expsrisnos. Can anything b worn than to feel that every mlnuta win be your laatT Such was the experience of Mrs. & H. Newton, Decatur, Ala.

Montgomery Ward of Chicago are sending out a large book containing a catalogue of goods kept by that con cern. The catalogue, if It were true, pretends to sell certain lines of goods at reduced rates, but people who have purchased goods from them have found to their sorrow that they have been misrepresented. A number of people of Astoria have been In the habit of purchasing goods from this lirm. It is not treating the local merchants right. No person interested in Astoria will send away for goods of any kind that can be bought at home. Scarcely a day passes but e package of goods is received from the express office di rect to prominent Astorlans. ; Nearly all the goods advertised are of the cheapest make, manufactured in the sweat houses of Chicago by people In fected with contagious diseases and would not pass. Inspection by a .sani tary commission. ' ' ' ', ' . Some people imagine that if they send away for goods they are securing bargains, but if- they will take, the trouble to, compare the goods with those sold by Astoria merchants, to gether with the prices, they will b convinced that they are wasting their money sending it away from home.
