In support ot his dental: bill

not make f any additional - appro

a similar Jaw in Multnomah, coun

suggested by ' Representative Car

Following the -defeat ot the
dental bill, Woodward realizing
what had happened to the organi
sation of the house, moved to have
the 'suffrage bill made a' special
order of : business for 'next Tues
day, which - was countered' by a
proposal to indefinitely postpone
the bilU It was finally agreed
that the" bill should come up for
final rote. , ' ',
In support of his bill Wood
ward "argued that many , mothers
of children have, no opportunity If
to vote on matters of finances-in
connection with school districts.
despite, the fact that their1 inter
est is probably the greatest I of
any. He also argued that wealthy
property, owners, without interest
in . the school children could nulli
fy the' action of those who would
mprove school buildings and pro.
vide additional facilities. ; I ;
Representative' Lovejoy in sup
porting Woodward, - argued that
to be consistent: it nothing else,
the same' voting' privilege should
be extended ' on school financial
affairs -.. as Is granted : on ' other
bond issues. 1
School teachers., probably the
most vitally interested,; Repre
sentative Keeney argued,' hold lit
tle property and probably only
about 25. per cent - are- property
owners,, which would be a dan
gerous feature, he said. .1
In voting for the: suffrage bill
Representative Huston ot Mult
nomah explained that he bad
agreed t6 vote for this measure
during the campaign and for that
reason voted yes, and 1 Represen
