To Bring Political Pressure

LEGISLATION IS DEMANDED
LATE-PIONEER OREGON
MAN BURIED SATURDAY
Cost oT Living Lowered in Italy
and Belgium, While Prices Re
main High Here, It Is Stated.
That the women of the United
States are skeptical as to many of
the excuses for the rise in prices and
intend to force action to lower the
cost of living- is shown by the move
ment of the League of Women Vot
ers to build up a strong; organization
that will exercise political pressure
to secure corrective legislation on
this problem.
.Mrs. Edward P. Costigan, who is vis
iting in Portland this week as represen
tative of the league committee on food
supply and demand, said that the
women of -the nation were aroused by
the constant excuses offered to cover up
the real reasons for advancing prices.
She said statistics proved the advance
began- before the war and that It is un
reasonable to chalk up the tremendous
Increase to war alone.
"Political economists formerly as
sured us that the people are protected
by a law of supply and demand," she
said ; "that with ample supplies, pub
lic demand can either raise or lower
prices freely by using or withholding
purchasing power. We are learning,
however, that a new era is upon us, and
that, even when the individual citizen
abstemiously shuns his dinner or the
corner grocery, the prices of the neces
sities of life continue their soaring and
dizzy ascent. When we turn for relief
through legislation to the halls , of the
nation's ' capitol in Washington we are
met by the cynical boasts of profiteers
that they wield a power greater than
that of the government itself. Monop
oly is throttling competition and Is dic
tating the price list. The consumer is
being consumed."

(Continued From Pace One)
gon'S ratification of the suffrage amend
ment there was no division among the
women present at the meeting. Mrs.
Catt's explanation was fo lucid when
she had finished with her summary of
the national situation in which she
showed that it would require all of the
suffrage state to insure the 36 nccesnarv
for ratification because of political con
ditions existing throughout the South,
East and Middle West.
As a result of her exposition of these
conditions, the motion to launch the fujl
power of the women's organizations of
the tate back of the effort to secure
the special session was carried, and, at
the express suggestion of Mrs. Catt, it
will endeavor in its course to make U
plain that the women of the state are
not proceeding In hostility to either the
legislature or the governor, but rather
in an effort to demonstrate the neces
sity of Oregon's action and to bring to
gether the divergent opinions of the
legislature and the executive so that the
session may be made possible and at an
early date.

This Skin Peeler
In Great Demand
Since the discovery that mercolized
wax possesses remarkable absorbent
powers when applied te the skin, the de
mand for it as a complexion renewer
has been tremendous. Druggists in
every section report sales as far ex
ceeding those of anything similar they
have ever had on their shelves.
Ordinary mercolised wax gently peels
oft the devitalized cuticle, in minute
particles, so that the user gradually loses
her old worn out complexion, the more
youthful under-skin taking Its place.
Cutaneous eruptions, blotches. moth
patches, liver spots and freckles are of
course removed at the same time. As
the wax is entirely harmless, and easy
to use, women all over the country are
purchasing it in original packages and
using It to quickly rejuvenate their com
plexions. The wax Is applied the same
as cold cream, allowed to remain on
over night, then washed off with Warm

Some men go 'for years needing such a simple
shoe as a combination last without even knpwing
that there is such a thing. The variety of .Walk
Over shapes provides a perfect fit for everybody.
A combination last is simply one made two widths
narrower at the heel than at the tread. It fits
thin-heeled men like a silk sock; and it's a swagger
looking shoe, too now isn't it?
