The Bnnatfl will end Us four months' tar Iff .tight lato todny with tho passage ot tno administration bill by an over whelming majority. With tho ah senco of two republican senators gen erally credited as in opposition It was expected that not to exceed three votos would beicast agalimt the u;u on the .majority sido. The gen oral bollof Was that these would be offset by at least that many votos in support on the democratic Bldo. ' Although It worked until closo to midnight last night, tho senate was back on the Job half an hour earlier than usual today In order to clonn up amendments ot Individual senators At the getaway last night, ti was agreed that debate should bo llmltod to five niinutea to each senator on each amendniont and that the admin Istrat'on features, including tho so- called floxlblo tariff provisions should first be considered. Asldo from these features, most of tho highly coutro verted Individual ninondnionts woro disposed of during tho mora than 12 hours that tho senate labored yoBter 'lay. ; . .

One day a neighbor told me about your Vegeta ble Compound and I took it. It helped mo so much that 1 wish to advise nil women to try Lydia E. Pink ham s Vegetable Compound for fc malo troubles and backache. It is a great help in carrying a child, ns 1 have noticed a difference when 1 didn't take it. I thank you for this medicine and if I ever come to this point again 1 do not want to be without the Vegetable Com pound. I give you permission to publish this letter so that all women can take my advice." Mrs. FRED Miner, Box 102, Churubusco, N. Y. It's the samo story over again. Women suffer from ailments for years. They try doctors and different medi cines, but feel no better. Finally they take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vogetablo Compound and you can see its value in the case of Mrs. Miner. : That's the truth of the matter. If you are suffering from any of the troubles women have, you ought to try this med icine. It can be taken in safety by young or old, as it contains no harmful drugs.

We must be big enough to work for each other. Wo must, if we .expect to build up this state, do tho things that are necessary; give up a part of our timo because this will help in building up our state. A few men cannot do It, neither can a few cities. Tho people In this state aro too far apart.t Thero aro too few people liv ing in tho state of Oregon. Kind friends, there are eight peoplo to the square mile In the state of Oregon, i!2 people to the square mile in the state of California, and -'0 peoplo to the square mile in the state of Washing ton.

BILL WOULD BOOST TAXES (Continued from Page One) signed tho petitions. It was repre sented to them to be a bill simply to chnngo the ago limit for children in tho elementary public Bchools and to strengthen tho existing law in re gard to compulsory attendance In tho schools, and thero was no public understanding that the bill was meant to destroy all private educa tion. "In addition to this fraudulent method of obtaining the submission of tho bill to a voto, tho authors of it attached to It a falso title, calling it a 'Compulsory Education Bill,' when It ought to. have been called 'A Bill to Establish Stato Monopoly of Education.' As to Private Schools. "Why should tho prlvato schools of this stato bo destroyed ? Tbore has nover been any complaint, that they wero violating the law, or teaching anything they ought not to teach, or In any way detracting from the citi zenship and civilization of the state. The various religious denominations in this state, including Protestants, Catholics, and Jews, have been main taining private schools lu which ex actly the same course of instruction is followed that Is prescribed by tile stnte, and taught In the public schools and the state authorities exercise supervision over the course of in struction both In the private and in the public schools. Hut In addition to this state curriculum these relig ious schools tench the form of relig ious faith and tho system of morality based upon it which is believed in by the founders and patrons of the schools. This Is their constitutional right, secured to them by the con stitution of tho United States, nnd by the constitution of every state In the union, including that of Oregon, for this is a land dedicated to tho great American principle of liberty of con science and absolute equality of free dom of religion among the people. . 'Certainly no child Is In any way Injured by receiving religious and moral training, no matter what may be the particular sect ot religion that Imparts such instruction. Washing ton said, in his farewell address, that there can be no patriotism without morality, and no morality without re ligion: nnd the whole fabric of Amer ican civilization la founded upon, and Its super-structure has been erected upon tho fundamental principles of religion nnd morality ns taught by these denominational Bchools. "It has horn held bv every court In the union that ever h.id the ques tion before it, that : the right of n pnrent to educate his own child In whatever way and whatever faith he chooses is paramount to the right of the state, being a natural and inalien able right, conferred upon every man by virtue of the vacred dutli'S and re sponsibilities of parenthood. So long as the private schools pursue sub stantially the same course of instruc tion that is prescribed in the' state schools, every parent in this state, and in every state,' has nn inalienable right which no governmest can justly and reasonably take away from hiin. to educate his child in any system of religion and morality that he pleases, and this lnw would utterly destroy the most vital and fundamental prin ciple of American government. Churches Opiioso Hill. ' Accordingly we find that in oppo sition to this bill there have been filed with the secretary of state nt Salem, strong arguments against it, by the Lutherans, the Seventh Day Adventists, tho Catholics, tho Epis copalians, tho Presbyterians, the principals of the leading private schools, and a number of the promi nent citizens and taxpayers of the city of Portland of all shades of re ligious belief, and some of them with no religion and somo of them lead ing Masons. In favor of the bill wo find that the leading element Is the secret organization known as tho Ku Klux Klan, with its auxiliaries -under the taniastical names (if tho 'Lndles of the Invisible Empire.' and 'The Royal Riders of the Rod Robe.' ; It is a waste of time and patience to talk about tho Ku Klux. Their methods and motives are being ex posed every day, nnd the records of the criminal courts of this and other states sufficiently demonstrate, what kind of an organization they are. "The great body of intelligent, self- respecting Masons in the. Stato of Oregon are not In sympathy with this bill. Many of them have already so announced publicly and in the press, and it seems to be that If they wish to malntnln the high standards that the Masonic fraternity has always boasted of maintaining, they ought to come out publicly nnd disavow being members of this conspiracy of law less anti-rellglous forces. Means Russian Sovletisni. "The fact Is that this bill is In spired by exactly the same principles and practices as those Uiat have characterized Russian Sovietism. In the Literary Digest of April 10,1920 there was published an uthentic in terview with the Commissioner for Public Instruction of the government of soviet Russia, in which he said: 'The private schools, those hot-beds for the eultlvtaion of class distinction were taken over by the stato; that was one of our first and easiest tasks.' That is precisely the language now being used by the Ku Klux Klan in favor of this bill, and tholr object Is exactly the same as that of the So viets to establish a despotic state monopoly of education, nnd ulti mately to destroy religion as an ele ment In our national life. "Tho stato will publish and dis tribute to every voter a pamphlet containing the arguments for and against this bill. There Is only one argument filed In favor of it. Read those arguments, as every voter will have an opportunity to do, and you will bo convinced that there is abso lutely no necessity for this law; no benefit, no public betterment to be achieved by the adoption of such a law, but on the contrary It will do-' stroy one of the most useful instru mentalities In the educational, relig ious, nnd moral life of the state; It ..will entail an enormous lncreuse in taxation; it will violate every prin ciple of Americn constitutional gov ernment, and destroy tho most valued tenets nnd trndltions of American 5 t t t T t T f t T T f y ?
