N. C. WESCOTT
and
P ublisher
Entered as seeond class m atter March 2S, 1911, at the postoffice at Aurora
Oregon, under the A ct o f March 3, 1879.
I pledge allegiance to my
flag and the republic for
which it stands,one Nation,
indivisible, with liberty and
justice to all.
Oregon has 120,000 people of foreign birth. Every
sixth person was born outside America. Of these 17,000
are unable to speak English and 8,000 cannot read or
write in any language. Portland has 50,000 foreign born.
Over 5000 of these speak no English, Big foreign settle­
ments exist in 10 counties. The necessity for “ Ameri­
canization” is plain.
.
Americanism means “ getting together” . American­
ism is in the interest of the foreigner as well as the coun­
try. During the last ten years only a small part o f the
immigrants who come to America have become citizens.
They remain aliens subject to any sort of propaganda that
comes along. The vital interests of the country demand a
policy that will banish illiteracy from every community,
and will require the naturalization of every imrhigrant
who makes his home here.
Views Upon Americanization
By GEORGE G. BINGHAM
Judge of the Circuit Court
My views, briefly expressed, are that every
foreign born resident should within five years if he
desires to remain in the United States, qualify
himself for citizenship. This does not necessarily
mean that he shall attempt to become a citizen,but
that he familarize himself with the principles of
Amencianism. Briefly, he should learn to speak
and read the English language, have a knowledge
of the grievances against Great Britian which
brought about the Revoluntionary War, should
read and understand the Declaration of Indepen­
dence and the Constitution of the United States
so as to have a knowledge of the principles of our
government se,lf government and community life;
should know the part people are entitled to exer­
cise respecting the selecting of our officers and the
individual's responsibility for good government.
We have today the most just and liberal
government on the face of the earth. My firm be­
lief is that foreign born persons who are making
trouble do not understand the priviliges they are
entitled to, but if they do they are undesirables
and should be deported. The average alien, I
take it, is honest, and where he is making trouble
it is because he is misled by crafty and designing
persons. This can be largely overcome by com­
pulsory education.
V; - V
If after a knowledge o f our fi;ee institutions a
person wants to destroy them he should not be
permitted to remain. If the American people are
satisfied, the foreign born should let us alone. All
adult aliens should have the advantage of a public
education; the speaking of a foreign language in
the home should be discouraged, the wife should
be treated as an equal, children should be required
to attend school and be taught to obey those in
legal authority.
Every alien should take and read at least one
local English printed newspaper, for that keeps
him imformed of current events, should be a con-
tributor to some religious society, for while others
m a y b e , churchmen a r e a l w a y s good citizens.

IMMIGRATION AND ILLITERACY
Deposits at the Aurora State Bank have touched the
$300,000 mark. It is especially encouraging to note
the steadily increasing time and savings deposits of
the people of the Aurora vicinity. This is a very
healthy condition and indicates that people generally
are using judgment and during these prosperous
times are laying away funds for future needs. We
pay 4% on time deposits and 4% compounded quart­
erly on savings accounts. You are given absolute
assurance of safety and the satisfaction of being able
to get your money when you need it. There is no
loss from market fluctuation.
A time deposit with us is the ideal
short time investment.
