Appeals For Exemption
Must Be Explained Later.

Men who ask exemption from Army
draft when they register next Tuesday
will be required later to explain fully
why they should not be called, Provost
Marshal General Crowder announces
at Washington. Public authorities
will determine the exemption of each
individual on the basis of the second
and more ample explanation, not on
the briefly stated reason given the
registrar Tuesday.
All men who are married or who be-
long to classes which may be exempt
will not necessarily be subject to ex-
emption. Furthermore every man
between the ages of 81 and 80 inclu-
sive must register regardless of his
claim to exemption unless he is in the
Army, Navy, National Guard or Naval
Militia.
Each man must state his full name,
age on last birthday, street address,
date and year of birth. occupation
and the kind of establishment where
he is employed, military experience,
whether he is single or married at
present; whether he has father, mo-
ther. wife or child, brother or sister

he is state or Federal official; whe-
ther he is native born American;
whether he or his father is naturalized
or has taken out first papers.

WHY DOES j. S.
SELL WAR BONDS

1 =. - = 4
The sinews of war are men, muni-
tions and money. The greatest need
of the United States today, to render
the best help to her allies, is money.
This money can be raised by the
Government by borrowing and by tax
ing. The United States is at present
employing both methods. Borrowing
by means of the Liberty bond is a me-
thod of securing immediate funds for
the prosecution of the war and spread
ing the burden of repayment over
period of from 10 to 80 years. when,
it is hoped world civilization will be in
a happier state than now. Taxation
does not bring in the funds as quickly
as bond issues, but nevertheless helps
to pay off Immediately large part of
the current expenses of the Govern
ment.
1t is this Governments avowed in
tention to put the burden of our share
in this struggle for democracy as far
as possible on the present generation
and not to shift our troubles on to our
children. That is why the liberty
bonds are issued with a, maturity of
only 80 years. and large part of the
current expenses will be taken care Of
by taxation.
This is sound reasoning, as we can
well stand the burden. 1t will keep
our country in healthy financial con-
dition for the keen world competition
in business which we must face after
the war.
Are you doing your share to straight
en- out this world struggle in the right
way by subscribing for the iber ty
bonds?

SENATOR BARRETT
AND ROAD BONDS

Athena, Oregon, May 80, ITO the
Editor:)-The opponents of the road
bonds have cast SO much mystery about
the origin of the bill which will be sub
mitted to the people on June 4th, that
l desire to make some explanation. i
In the first place., it is an utter false
hood for any man to say that the bond
bill was submitted to the people
through the efforts Of the Paving Trust
or any other Trust. or that any paving
concern had the bill drawn or procured
it to be passed by the Legislature. |
hope the people who know me, will
not permit the enemies of the bond to
mislead them about this fact.
was a member of the Senate Com
mittee on Roads and Highways and
was in position to know, and did
know, the influences which brought
about the enactment of the bond bill.
Anyone who will examine the road
Legislation of the last Legislative
Assembly will see that one half dozen
of important road bills were enacted.
took the closest possible interest
in all of this legislation. | was the
author of two of the more important
of these measures. The bond bill was,
in sense, the companion of the other
road bills. 1t was brought about
though desire of the members of the
Legislature, and others, to submit a
comprehensive road plan to the people.
Whatever the people do with it, the
fact remains that the bond bill was
conceived in good faith by people in
favor Of good roads, and was not part
of a wicked plot by the Paving Trust
as has been claimed by some poorly
informed persons who are fighting the
bonds.
Eastern Oregon has never received
any State aid of any consequence in
road development. The passing of the
bond issue is the only guarantee that
Eastern Oregon has ever had, or will
ever have for years to come, that some
of'the state money will be spent east
of the Cascade Mountains.
/ say that it is a guarantee because
it designates roads. It designates
roads through Eastern Oregon, some
of the most important Of which are in
Umatilla county. If the bond bill is
passed, the Highway Commission will
be obliged to hard surface many miles
of roads in Umatilla county, for which
we already have base or are in
position to construct a base for. If
the bond bill fails, the Commission
will not be obliged to do anything for
Eastern Oregon or for Umatilla
county. If 1t passes, money will be
available for extensive road develop
ment. If it fails to pass. but little
money will be available for years to
come.
haye tried for twelve years to pro-
cure for this district, a workable road
law, and consider that every man and
woman who votes against the bond
issue is making serious mistake. Let
US lay aside small jealousies and do our
plain duty by Eastern Oregon and our
selves. Resp, c. A. Barrett,
Joint Senator, 10th Senatorial Dis
trict comprising Umatilla, Union and
Morrow Counties.
