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.
