were no war it. the world" practically

with a $100,000'. courthouse, a $100,
000 federal building and an $84,900
city hall, j ' , .. . .':
In the same way the federal govern
ment collects from the people of Mc
Minnville this year $138,350. enough to
build a magnificent high school building
and a handsome city hall, with money
left for other purposes, 'That, sum will
be paid by i the people of McMinnvtlle
this year arad in approximate sums every
year until the world gets rid of war.
The federal, government collects from
Hie people of Corvallis this year for
war purposes $287,600, enough to build
a $100,000 Wth school, 'a $100,000 public
hospital ann an $87,600 federal : build
ing. Corvallis has long sought a federal
building but cannot havevit because of
the cost of battleships and. the other
war bills. These huge sums which the

"The women and all progressive
voters should cast a unanimous-vote
for her. She is a person of excep
tional ability. Esther' Pohl -Love-
joy, is, I know from my long years
of work with her, far, superior to 90
per cent of the people whose names
usually appear upon the ballots. She
will 'make her -influence for good
felt in no unmistakable manner. ;
a The voters of Multnomah county; -and
particularly ' the women, rrevenow the
opportunity to do honor to. one of Amer

gressional battle Is progresslvism versus
reactionaryism, intelligence versus medi
ocrity. ! Surely the women of the; dis
trict will respond to this call.
"The congress convening In 1921 must
be forward-looking,"' says Otto Hartwig,
president of the State Federation of

will confront this congress is what shall
