OMEN of Oregon are jiuttlfyJiiK !jnl suffrage by
taking an active intoiost in nronosed lotrislntion for
Jiuiimnity, instead of for the dollar. It was mini's inhu
manity to man that created tho progressive wave that lias
swept the eonntrv during reeent years and culminated in
Oregon by throwing down the bars against sex inequality,
i)i order to better political, social and economic conditions.
Under the lead of tho Oregon Congress of Mothers, ami
parent-teachers associations, a bill is to be presented the
legislature providing pensions for the assistance and sup
port of women whose husbands are dead or totally in
capacitated and wno have small children dependent, upon
them. Similar laws are in effect in Illinois aud Missouri,
and work admirably. A dozen other states are considering
the same legislation.
The bill provides that if the family 'includes but one
child, the mother shall receive $10 a niouth. If there are
more children, she shall receive at the rate of $7.50 per
..-.... It. .. .1.21.1 V xt it
uiviiui jn-r i-iiuu. vu muiiicr can receive uns pension rov a
child over -sixteen years of age. No mother who receives
an income from other sources is entitled to the relief af
forded, unless that income is less than the one provided for
by the measure. The mo.iey shall be distributed through
the courts, and its distribution is regulated so as to pre
sent abuses.
The money is raised by a levy of not more than one
tenth of a mill uplm each dollar in each county and it will
decrease the expense to the taxpayer, for 'it now costs
more for the support of the poor and orphaned. A mother
in holding her family together, makes a dollar go further
than the state, and, more than all, preserves the home,
utal to the child's welfare.
It-is high time that legislation was enacted conserving
humanity as well as property and the mothers' pension
bill should receive unaimous support.

there should be a generous purchase by the public.
The use of Christmas stamps to aid in raising funds for
tuberculous cases originated in Norway, in 1J)0I. Jacob
Kiis, the social worker, described the Norway stamp and
suggested uses for it in America in an article in the Oiit
loofc. .Miss Emily Bissell, secretary of the Delaware Red
Cross, designed a stamp Avltirh netted the societ v 000 for
tuberculosis work. She induced the American' Red Cross
to take up the sale in 190S on a national basis, and over
bi:b,000 was realized. In 1009, tho sale was increased to
0,000, in 1010 to $310,000 and last vear s-U'JO.OOO, all of
which went for anti-tuberculosis work in various parts of
