ELOQUENT PLEA 111 ORECON WOMEN The following statistical showing and eloquent plea for the equal suf frage amendment to tho Oregon constitution appears in the voters' booklet sent out by the state. That the ploa of the women of Oregon may be given the widest possible publicity, the East Oregonlan publishes It, as follows: To Every Liberty-Loving Voter of Or egon, Greeting: The undersigned, representing as we believe, the large majority of the women of Oregon, are huppy to em brace this opportunity, accorded to us though your inlatlve petitions, to lay before you a few of our many reasons for believing you will be as proud to extend to us, at the coming June election, your courteous Invlta tlon to join you In full and freo poB' session of the elective franchise, as1 were (he gallant men of Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Utah, who be stowed full rights of citizenship, al most without solicitation, upon every law-abiding woman within their bor ders. Thl movement, which began In Or egon in 1871, grew so rapidly, under guidance of pioneer men and women and public-spirited law-makers, that the legislative assembly enacted, In autumn of .1872, a married woman's sole trader bill, enabling a wife to hold her own earnings, If necessary, as her own property by registering her intention with the county court. Stim ulated by this small beginning, the growth of public sentiment In favor of equal property rights for women hag placed Oregon women far In nd vance, as self-earning property hold ers, of women of any other state In the Union, except the four states wherein they already vote. But. although we are taxpayers, we are not yet full-fledged voters. Thl handicap brings the wage enrnlngs o women Into ruinous competition with wage-eajnlng voters, and Is a dlsabll ity from which we believe you wl oe glad to relieve us by your vot next June, In the Interest of both halves of the people. This movement grew from the sma beginning In 18 1 2. above noted, until the year 1884, when your representa tlves submitted for us, by leglslatlv enactmcnt, a constitutional amend ment at the state election of that year which brought us 11,223 votes. Ou proposed amendment was again sub mltted to a vote of one-half of the peo pie In the year 1900, and the "ye? vote- had by that time grown to 26 266. The amendment was again sub milted (always by men) In 1906, ami the "yes" vote rose to 36.932. For causes that are wholly ellmln nated from the present campaign (and we hopt. from all future state cam palgns for equal rights, and, there fore, need not b explained In thl letter) the "no" vote of 1906 was fo the first time proportionately Increas ed, but the readiness with which men have responded with their signatures to the large Initiative petitions through which you have reopened ou case, Is an assurance to us of your success In our behalf at the June election or lux, for which we are patriotically expectant and profoundly grateful In advance. If any of you say you are weary of this agitation, we answer In all serl ousness, so are we. So wearv are we that we believe you will. In mercy, not compel us to repeat this struggle in the year 1910. as we surely must If you fall us this time. If there shall yet remain a few wo men who should attempt to repeat their former protest in this pamphlet against equal rights for other women of which they are unable or unwilling, from their viewpoint, to see the need, we trust your practical good sense to prove to them through your nfflrma tfvc votes In our behalf that our en franchisement, while enlarging our opportunities, will In no way encroach upon their rights or liberties. If any man objects to extending to his wife and mother the power of the ballot from the fear that If they be come his equals they will neglect or forsake the home, we shall depend upon you to divert his mind from sueh a fallacy, by recalling the fact that the home instinct Is Inherent In woman, and cannot be created or destroyed by laws of men's or. women's making. If he does not know, of his own ac cord, that there are many hundreds of men and women In Oregon, who could not have the semblance of a home to keep, under present Indus trial conditions, If women did not go outside to earn or help to earn the means to rent or support a home In ruinous competition with ballotted WANTED i I want ro hear from owner hiring GOOD FARM or BUSINESS for sale, any srixo and any local ity. Not particular about loca tion, if you want cash for your farm or business It will pay you to write mo today. I only want to hoar from owners who are willing to sell direct to buyers and without paying a cent of commission to anyone. I am not a real estate agent and I don't accept properties for sale on a commission basis. Agents need not answer. If your farm or business is for sale write me at once and I will send you free full details of my new plan of putting you in touch with hund reds of people anxious to buy. I muHt hear from you quickly, as I have more buyers than I have properties to recommend. It coats you nothing to write to me and I may have someone who wants your place and will pay your full price. In writing give price and description and state how soon possession can be had. L Darbyshlrt, Drawer M4 Rochester.H.Y. men, just let him alone; hla delusion Is chronic, and he ia past recovery. This movement for the enfranchise ment of your closest friends, the mother-half of the people of Oregon. Is wholly non-partisan, non-sectarian and non-political. We are not seek ing to make laws to govern men. We believe as Implicitly In men's funda mental right of self-government as In our own, and we are awaiting your Invitation, through the ballot box, to the possession of our Inalienable right to equality with you before the law, which we prize for the same rea sons that you prize It, and we believe It will be a pleasure to you (o bestow It upon us exactly as It would be our pleasure to extend It to you under reversed conditions.

Don't, Depend on Hired Help "Let the Horses Do the Work WASHINGTON EjKTTER. r ; ... - " Washington, April 10. One of the most striking changes In congress, and It Is more apparent In the Six tieth congress than in any of its pre decessors, Is the manner In which the appropriation bills are considered and framed. There Is no hint of the old "log rolling" of other days. No measure now can be designated as the "pork barrel." The day when public money was voted for private advancement has passed. In none of the appropriation bills Is this more evident than In the riv ers and harbors measure. It is true there will be no bill of this kind at this session, although a strong fight will be made for a liberal appropria tion when congress reconvenes after the summer vacation. But at the present time the members of the riv ers and harbors committee, are not lie. iney are carefully considering the proposed expenditures to be made. a ine worn or tnis important com mittee has been lightened to a very great extent by the educatlonul influ ence of the National Rivers and Har bors congress. This organization has adopted as its motto "A Policy and Not a Project," and preaches the fol- iy or tne struggle of local Interests to grasp the biggest plums. It be lieves In the government expending not less than $50,000,000 annually on the work of rivers and'harbors devel opment, but it refuses to say where this money shall be spent. The lack of logic exhibited In the mad scramble for aDDronrlntlnnc he river and harbor bill is set forth in benator Knox's recent speech In t'Htsburg. Senator Knox said: "No subject of national nollcv has ueen more distorted by partial views, more disfigured by misapprehension or more dwarfed bv the conflict nf local interests than the governmental worn or Improving our harbors and waterways, and yet upon no other one ractor does the future exnnnairm n commerce so largely depend. To one element the amirnnrln- tlons for that purpose appear but as a division of spoils. By each partic ular section Its own Improvements are regarded as leeitlmntn i,.ni,,j claims, while those of other sections may seem to be exaggerated and greedy. "The stake has been reached when local Jealousies should be cast aside, nu meso limited and partial views enlarged to the perception that what ever expenditure Is necessary to bring " n uuiiusi economic caDacitv everv harbor capable of commercial util ity and ever river able to furnish a route for Industrial or agricultural products and material, Is the most remunerative investment that can be umue wun national funds" The use of the words "investment" by Senator Knox iaregarded by wa terway enthusiasts as most hannv They have contended alwavs thnt money expended In Internal Improve ments Is not wasted, as in hnlMln. ittleshlps or equipping armies, but 111 return high Interest in the ruin f lower freight rates and Increased commerce. The general subject of waterways Improvements Is receiving greater ttentlon with every passing month. The bill providing for legislative sanction to the organization of thA Inland Waterways commission la al- eady In the hands of congress, and Its passage Is expected. President Booaevelt Is deeply Interested In the matter of such Improvements, and he is especially anxious that a board trained men be created to give the problem the attention its import ance to commerce demands.
