THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 191S. THE WOMAN'S COMMITTEE. To borrow .mlllons of dollars is an Undertaking bo important that the government must fail unless It has the whole-hearted support of every one of ' Its loyal - citizens, women as well as men. It was in recognition of this fact that the Secretary of the Treasury created the National Wo i Mian's Liberty Loan committee to help" float the bonds to be put out during the war. It is the first time in the history of the world's greatest" de-. mocracy that women have been re cognized as potential factors in in fluencing public opinion. These wo men, through their united efforts, are empowered to give aid to the govern ment Women Liberty Loan com mittees have been organized in all parts of the United States, and Lane "bounty has Just completed Its organi zation, with Mra, W. W. Calkins as chairman, and nearly sixty vice chair- j men In the several banking and school districts. In Springfield Mrs. A. B, VanValzaa lit the Vice chairman; In this drive for fundi for the fcovern meat these committees of women will be of bittck assistance and. valuable support to the men In Influencing public, opinion. it t THE CALL OF THE WOMEN THE COLOR8 TO Women: During next week, put aside any work that interferes with your doing your utmost to show how you care whether or not this country wins this war. Doing your bit is not enough. Do ing our best and then bettering it is What we must do right now. If you ever wondered whether you could have been a heroine of the Rev olution, now 1b your chance to find out Whether history puts the women of 1918 alongside of the women of '76 depends on what we all do during the coming Liberty loan campaign. When the colonial soldiers ran short of bullets lntheir struggle for inde pendence their "women folks" melted lead, made bullets and carried them to the fighters "behind each fence and farmyard wall." Ammunition for this fight for freedom is not going to be home-made in this struggle, but the mothers of the fighting men must provide their share of it lust the same. There is nothing dramatic about buying or soliciting Liberty bonds, and It may take more courage than running off leaden bullets. ' If the front line trenches, wpro just over In Portland, we would volunteor- all our resources. Because the line Is a llttlo farther away, are we to let our soldiers think that frW Oregon to France, by way of New! yo'rktils too fa.n, for our loyalty to go? It .is Unbelievable that our help for them shoulirba fijro remote than" 'ttfelr sacrifices for' ta': ' ' ' Somewhere I that gigantic fighting unit is.the-.mau w&o makes., this war "my war" for ea'dK'b'neJf tie: We must' match bis gift of all with our gift of all and, UU tyWtSforMQrnki.Wm, demand. " That demand has Jome with the Third Liberty le& campaign aid the '.Ji , H - 1 ' ... women are asUclHo tomelHnto"Bltf Business., m partners.- For the moat 'part women -have .been ciphers when It came . 19 large finance. j.Now- we havo a chanco to prove that the only difference between a million and n billion Is a few ciphers at the right Bide ,of the lino. That ia our side. if we wake up to tho- chanco wo will have next week to do pur part, wo shall, have a share in victory. If wo waXo up noxt month, we shall miss our chnnco and help tho enemy. Let us do something mora than talk and knit and patch up mistakes. When tt comes to food and shoes and muni tions, fifty dollars worth of Liberty bonds ts moro persuasive than the tongue of an nngel. If every woman buys or makes someone else buy one Liberty bond, tho success of tho loan ts assured. Are those men out there In tho rain and hardships to think of us as just reserves, safely back of tho lino? Or are they to know that we are side by side at the very front, tho army of sup port and the army of action, standing sbouldeft to shoulder. Wo know the answer. Right there is the place where we should be. So, side by side with the men, altogether, with our strength and courage a4 love for the men who are' fighting for us, let us again go "over the top" in the Third Liberty Loan campaign. MRS. J. C. DIMM," Lane county1 publicity chairman, Woman's Liberty Loan cammlttee. RELIEF FOR TAXPAYERS. It Is a habit that candidates have of speaking in high sounding terms of being the taxpayers' candidate, or the taxpayers' friend, or the represents tive of the common people, or in soma other similar manner, indefinite plati tUiJf being called into ust for that purpose. 1 nave" ho respeel for precedent, however long-established, if I sec what seems to be a better way. Ab a candidate for senator I would like to state definitely some of the things I have in mind, to the end that tho voters of Lane and Linn counties may know that I have no intention of going to Salem merely to become a seat-warmer and to the further end that they may have the opportunity to express to me their opinion on the subject? for legislation which I Bulgest I will have the greatest respect for their wishes and desires, and 1 wish to state that a mistake- voters often make is In not making their desires known.- ' One of the Important things I have In mlbd that should Interest every taxpayer is a new method for the dis tribution of election supplies and the return of supplies and results. Under present laws this 1b done by the ex pensive means of private carriers at so much per diem and mileage, while registered mall and the parcel post would get the same r.esult for a Very r-mall part of the present expense. The Idea of a personal carrier from some Isolated precincts at an ex penee of aB high as $10 a vote Is too antiquated for progressive Oregon. In the course of years millions of dol lars can be saved to the counties of Oregon by using our own mails, which are Just as safe as private carriers and just as rapid. The delinquent taxpayer needs re lief. The coats that pile upon blm are often unreasonable and prepos terously out of proportion .to the amount of the tax. Being a newspa per publisher myself, and having given this particular law considerable study, I feel that I am in a position to revise the publication law In such manner that past abuses can not bo repeated, and so that the taxpayers will get a cheaper and more satisfac tory service. As an example of my Insight into this subject it seems to me a senseless proceeding and an Im position upon the delinquent taxpayer to require five publications of the tax list, and tills, sometimes In two papers In the same city. From past experjenpe at Salem, J believe economies can bo effected in state government apmo of. these by consolidation. U jS$em.a -to mo that there. Is a multiplicity of boards and. commissions, some, .with .salaries at tached. ;T,be last legislature laid the foundation for action at this session and I think determined legislators can really do something along this lino atthe : approaching UQBslpn,, . It seems tb mo that a division of counties into" oomnHBalorfer ' districts would be .much hiore " satisfactory. than the prescrot"ttctno)$i6f 'electing commissioners at large. Ai nearly as pofeiiblet every section: j? the county should bo represented upon the board that conducts tho county's business. If the pooplo of Lone and Man cooatiM seem to with it I shall, In the event ot-my, -election; Biittoaver to work out'MBw such method which will not tncroaao tho oxponso of gov ernweaL i havo ia mind other, legislation that will Rive taxpayers morcmonoy with which to buy llborty t bonds,' of which I way 'speak ns tho campaign progresses.
