THE FOLLOWING HOUSHOLD GOODS AND OTHER GOODS BELOW: THE AMERICANIZATION CORNERl QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NATURALIZATION LAWS AND CITIZENSHIP FULLY ANSWERED . IN THIS COLUMN. No American Citizen need be told in these days that the Americanization of the whole allied-born mass o f residents among us is of immediate and vital con- j cern. Hencq the Observer, wishing to do its share toward accomplishing it, has j made arrangements with the United State Bureau o f Naturalization by which its readers may have questions concerning their individual and citizenship rights \ answered free o f charge. The subjects covered are naturalization laws, filing ) declaration o f intention (first papers), petitions for naturalization (second pap-) ers). Knowledge o f government required o f applicants, places where free pub-1 lie school classes in English and citizenship may be found, the free distribution ' o f “ The Students Textbooks” to foreigners, and questions o f citizenship rights J The Observer will be glad to secure answers to all inquires of every charac-1 ter and invites its readers to ask any questions they wish. Questions should be addressed to the the “ Americanization Column” , Observer, Aurora, Oregon, Such questions will be answered directly by letters by the “ Bureau of Natural-) ization” and also in these columns. The person making inquires must sign! their name and address as evidence o f good faith, Aurora, Feb, 8. —Editor o f the Ob server: “ Is an Oriental born in Ore gon a citizen of the United States? If so can he vote?—Citizen. The constitution of the United States defines a citizen as follows:—“ All per sons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens o f the United States and o f the states wherein they reside.” Hence, an Oriental born in the United States is a citizen. In most states only citizens may vote, but citi zenship does not confer suffrage. Child ren are citizens but not voters. Each state fixes the qualifications o f its vot ers, but the 15th Amendment to the Federal Constitution says- “ The right of citizens o f the U. S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state, on account of race, color, _ or previous condition o f I servitude.” Hence, any Oriental born in the United States, and 21 years of! age, may vote, unless because o f in sanity, idiocy, conviction for crime, etc. i A Number of Floor Rugs One Fur Rug Tw o Book Cases One Folding Screen One Oak Dresser Japanese Grass Lounging Chair One Japanese Grass Basinet Two Kitchen Chairs One Large Cane Rocker One Sewing Stand Four Mattresses One Typewriter, Oliver One Porch Chair Leather Rocker One Oak Velour Davenport One Brass Fount Lamp One Bracket Lamp Two Gasoline Lamps Three Iron Beds One Cot One Center Stand Round Oak Extension Dining Table Square “ “ Tw o Kitchen Tables, 1 Oak Three Iron Frame Spring Beds One W ood Frame Spring Bed One W icker Oriole Baby Buggy One Mahogany Corner Chair Terms—$10 and under cash.
