THE EQUAL SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN FOR OREGON Governors of State in . Which Women Vote Indorse the Movement. The following testimony is given from governors of the fonr states in which women vote: COLORADO. Governor Jesse F. McDonald. I hve always looked upon the ques tion as a matter of right and justice. We are not afraid to trust onr wives and mothers ia other matters of im portance, and there is no reason why ws shoo Id question their judgment and good citizenship in the matter of voting or taking an interest in politi cal subjects or questions of good gov ernment, which are just as vital to them as to any other citisen. The statement is often made that equal suffrage has woorked mischief, in that it has degraded the general moral standard. Such statements are certainly made by persons who are ill advised, who do not know the faots as they exist, and who probably do not want to know the truth. The fact is, and can readily be verified, that the ad vent of women into the political arena has bad the effect of raising the moral standard to a much higher degree than it was before. The women in and out of politics are constantly working for better moral conditions ; then how can the moral standard be lowered by placing women in a posi tion where their influence for good is so mush greater than it would be otherwise? Denver, Colo., February 9, 1906. Ei-Governor Alva Adams. I offer no apology, and have only condemnation tor the political , crookedness that has shamed Colorado, j but in this shame women have had no part. The principal cause of our in famy lias been the influence and the j money of corporations working I through political machines and their own bosses, coercing and dictating j to employes. Knowing that the I women voters could not bo used to ad- vauce their corrupt and selfish schemes, they were ignored, i I look for an alliance between the best women voters and the more pa j triotio male element in a crnsade I against political and moral evils. Iu legislation women stand for those laws that raise the moral standard. While it is ton soon to analyze and Nam op the innaence of eqaal suffrage i upon public affairs, we know that it has not been bad. It has not degraded ' the women nor lowered the morals of the commonwealth. Over and above all, suffrage is the woman's right, and uo fair, just man will deny her that right. While we may defend equal suffrage upon the ground of ex pediency, it is not a qnestiou of ex pediency but of Jastioe. Pueblo, Colo., January 19, 10C6. UTAH. Governor John C. Cutler. "In reply to your question as to my belief in the prinoiple of woman suff rage, permit me to say that I have been for a long time, and still am, couvinced that it is both right and dusi rabble for women to have the pri vilege of the suffrage. Utah has been an equal suffrage State ever since statehood was granted, and my obser ation has led me to believe that the results of giving the franchise to the women have been beneficial. " IDAHO. Governor Frana R. Gooding. Equal surffuge has been helpful to Idaho. I have nothing but words of com mendation and praise for equal suff 1 rage, and will gladly welcome the day when women are premitted to vote in all of the different States and Terri tories and at all elections. For a j number of years I have had an in- timate acquaintance with political activities in this State, and I gladly 1 teitify that the elective franchise has j been exercised wisely and conscieu- i tiously by the women voters of the State. Such political activities as they have been engaged in, have all j been for good. Women have been elected to office, both in the State and the different counties, and have ' proved themselves excellent officers. i Boise, Ida., February 9, 1906. WYOMING. ! Governor Bryant B. Brooks. During my residence of seven and one-half years in Wyoming, I have ! found that the women whom I have met have had a vital interest in all that makes for the best things, in '. city, county and Stat. This interest ' has been expressed in the quiet, earnest influence which characterizes the power which good women wield 1 everywhere, as well as at the ballot . box. Bad women do not exert an appre ciable influence in politics. The. fact ' that women vote in Wyoming djts not ' interfere in any ay with home do ties, nor with the pleasant relation ships of family life. My belief is that Woman's work for home and church, and State is maob stronger and more helpful be case of the broader outlook upon life wbioh the franchise of necessity gives to woman. Cheyenne, Wyo., Febraary 23, 1906. OREGON. Governor Geo. E. Chamberlain. At the 1905 Convention of the Na tional American Woman Suffrage As sociation, held in Portland, Oregon, Governor George E. Chamberlain gave the address of welcome in - behalf of the State. He was outspoken in ex pressing hs belief in equal suffrage. "It is strange that the mother who is capable of oaring for the welfare of a child in the borne cannot do so in the State," be said, and further; "The question of woman suffrage bas began to be taken up seriously now by the people of the United States. lam glad that Oregon has been obosen as the place for your convention. I hope that this State will give women the ballot, and I hope that every State will do it 1 Grants Pass' Re-ilroevd. Construction of a standard gauge road from Grauts Pnes to Takilma, which is in the copper district of Southern Oregon, will be begun with in 30 days. T. Waln-Morgau Draper, chief engineer of the California & Oregon Coast Railroad Company, which will build the line, says work on the road has been delayed cwing to the San Frauoisco catastrophe, but that it will begin very toon. He says that the road will have been complot ed within a year. Mr. Draper was a guest at the Hotel Portland Saturday and left that night for San Francisco. He is a man who superintended the boosing of thousands of homeless citizens who sought refoge iu Golden Gate Park following the fire in San FrancUco. About 50 buildings and hundreds of tents were erected in Golden Gate Park, all nnder the direction of Mr. Draper, who made a name for him self by the efficient manner iu which he carried out this work. Mr. Draper is one of the prominent civil engi neers of San Francisco. Mr. Draper stated yesterday that the road from Grants Pass to Takilma had been financed and that he was certain that it would be constrncted without delay. Parties who have the smelter at Takilma and own vast cop per properties are behind the project. The road as surveyed is about 45 miles in length and will open np large tracts of timber land.

MILLIONS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OREGON Fund Received From Scvle of School Ln.nd and Interest Growing The State Land Board last week ap proved 41 farm loans, aggregating $64,620, from the school fund, at 8 per cent Interest On May 1, there was $98,933.89 in the common school fund, $8575.08 iu the Agricultural College fund and $5634.61 in the State University fund. making $111.133 08'- available for loans. . Deducting the loans just made, there is still $46,613.08 in educational funds to be loaned. This fond is constantly increasing from school lands sold and deferred pay ments received. The irreducible edu cational fond of the state is fast as suming large proportions. Aside from cash in the state treasury above mentioned, on May 1, State Treasurer Moore held common school fund se curities amounting to $3,612,938.95 in first-mortgage loans and $310,326 In district school bonds. . He holds securities amounting to $161,736.16 for the Agricultural College and $93,- 182. 75 for the State University. All these draw interest at 6 per cent, ex cept a portion of the district bonds placed at 5 per cent. Increase in the price of state school bonds from $6 to $7.60 an acre will add considerable to this fund, as there is a heavy demand for school bonds even at the increased price. Hospitalttv Appreciated. The following resclutions adopted by the Ministerial Association and Ep worth League Convention, recently in session in Grauts Past, were crowded out of last week's issue: Report of committee on resolutions The Eugene District Ministeral Association has been so delightfully eutertained in this city that an exprea sion of gratitude has been on the lips of all iu attendance.
