CAN STEP CHILD
BE CITIZEN BY
NATURALIZATION
: There may be persons in Ma
rlon county and other parts of
Oregon who will be Interested in
the Bltuatitm here presented.
John Smith came to the United
States as a child a few years old.
. His father died in a short time,
never having been naturalized.
His mother married in a few
years and while John Smith was
still quite young his step father
became a naturalized citizen. I'i
John, now a man grown, a citi
zen? The proofs at the abovo
facts are complete and in his pos
session, so there is only the le
gal conclusion to be reached.
A Salem citizen asked advice
from a Unittd States official on
the matter and has received the
following::
"The bureau of naturalization
for administrative purposes holds
that step children do not become
citizens by virtue of the naturali
zation of the step father, and ad-
? vises all such persons to apply for
and procure citizenship in their
own personal right. Therejs ttt
affirmative statement in the law
conferring cmzensnip upon h
' step child by virtue of the natur
alization f the step father.
There are numerous court decis
ions "which are conflicting, some
courts having derided that the
step child is naturalized by vlr
ture of its step father's naturali
zation, while others take the con
trary view, and as the matter has
never reached the supreme court
of the United States, it still re
mains a moot question. I do not
know of any decision of any of
the Oregon courts touching the
matter, so that It is virtually im
possible to say Just what the
status qf the step child is until
such time as we get a final ad
judication of the matter."
Under the naturalization laws
the citizenship conferred upon
the man made bis wife also a
citizen and section 4367 of the
U. S. statutes, included in the
new law on that subject says:
"The children of persons who
have been duly naturalized un
der any law of the United States,
or who, previous to the passing of
any law on the subject, by the
government of the United States,
may have become citizens of any
one of the states, under the laws
thereof, being under the age of
twenty one years at the time of
the naturalization of their par
ents, shall. If dwelling in the
United States, be considered as
citizens thereof."
Inasmuch as John Smith's
mother became a citizen while
John was a minor the average
layman would conclude that the
intent of the law is to recognize
him as a citizen upon reaching
his majority.
There is enough of uncertainty
about the matter, however, to
cause John to look into it further.

As there is but one more week
'or mailing Christmas packages,
lohn H. Farrar, postmaster,
igain urges every one to hurry up
with mailing. And again the old
.njunction is given not to enclose
letters in packages, and to tie
packages instead of sealing them.
Small-sized envelopes or small
arils are likely to go astray in the
aoliday rush as the cancelling ma
hine used for letters does not
,-atch small cards or envelopes.
Nor may one mail tinsel cards,
unless enclosed in an envelope.
In mailing packages to eastern
points, Mr. Farrar gays one should
remember that in the Christmas
rush there is likely to be a delay
of a day or more. It is already
too late to mail -packages to stateB
on the Atlantic coast and expect
them to arrive before Christmas.
Monday, December 18, is the
last day for mailing Christmas
presenU to arrive before Decem
ber 25 to the following states:
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas.
Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas nnc
South Dakota.
December 19 is the last day tor
mailing to Montana, Wyoming.
Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada
and California south of San Francisco.
Wednesday, December 20, la the
final days for mailing to northern
California and Idaho.
Thursday, December 21, the last
day for Washington and oreau"
Packages mailed next Friday or
Saturday will probably not be de
livered until Tuesday, December
26.
