Omen Dawson
Campaign Secretary Com
bats the Report About
Women's Vote.
The first day of the Orndorff cam
paign committee's labors in the direc
tion of Increasing the payment of poll
taxes brought gratifying result, ac
cording to former city clerk Jack
Dawson, now secretary or tne cam
paign committee, who stated Tuesday
morning that 114 poll taxes and ex
emptions were taken out Monday.
Start Fast Campaign.
Under the direction of Dawson, a
whirlwind telephonic and personal call
campaign in the interest of tncreas-
jing the number of poll tax payments
was started Saturday afternoon and
I will be continued daily until the time
1 limit on poll tax payments is reached.
"Someone has spread the erroneous
report mat a woman can aui j ujiia . j
to vote at the coming municipal elec
tion merely by paying her poll tax.
but that it is necessary that she be
registered from the last election." said
Dawson, Tuesday morning. TUB is
wholly incorrect. It Is required only
that she be 21 or more years of age
and pay her poll tax In order to ac
quire the right of franchise. As in
the case of a man, a woman more than
SO years of age Is exempt from poll
tax.
Given Hearty Scpport.
"While it is early to predict victory.
1 have no hesitancy tn stating the
Orndorff ticket will be elected in en
tirety, baaing my predict ton on the
general and hearty support we re
ceived In our campaign to Increase
poll tax payments, a good omen."

Proposes as a Part of Its Activities Commencing With the I
Beginning of the Year
Iff
I 1919
I !
To undertake the bringing to completion a plan for the construc
tion of the High Line Canal, thus insuring cheaper water and power,
both essential to the commercial and economic growth of the city.
To give more substantial support than ever before, and in a more
systematic way, to the construction of dependable highways, that a
greater share of the rapidly increasing automobile travel will be
routed by this all-the-year route.
To launch a publicity campaign, and, among other ways,
through the use of journals with a nation-wide circulation, advertise
the El Paso climate; opportunities for manufacturing enterprises;
advantages as a wholesale point and the irrigated lads in the Rio
Grande Valley.
To begin and continue as one of the most important features, a
work to locate in this city such manufacturing industries as its inves
tigations of sources of raw material, labor conditions, transportation
facilities, markets and other necessary factors that must be consid
ered, prove or indicate they should be successfully operated here.
To encourage the people of the city and of this section of the
country to patronize those industries now established here and to co
operate in an educational way and even more substantial way, if
necessary, with any association formed for the particular purpose of
inducingTDur buyers.to purchase home products, not only those manu
factured here, but those grown in our valleys as well.
To, within a period of three months, continue action started more
than a year ago, to secure a reduction of the distributing freight rates
from this city to the territory west. This matter will be pushed be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission by one of the leading firms
of commerce attorneys in this country, and has been delayed by the
action of the government in taking over the railways.
To continue its efforts of encouraging closer business and social
relations with the people of Mexico, and just as soon as conditions
justify it, take decided and co-operative action that will result in El
Paso securing the trade south of the Rio Grande it should have by.
reason of its location and commercial importance,
To follow an oft-considered plan of taking an active and pro
gressive part in civic improvements, it having already been decided
to closely co-operate in two moves in which everyone in the city is
interested the completion of the Scenic Highway, and the free
bridge spanning the Rio Grande.
In addition to making the seventh payment on the State School
?f Mines property to assist in securing a much larger number of
scholars from Mexico, which has been retarded by war conditions in
the Republic, this having prevented El Paso from deriving the full
benefits it expected to obtain from the location of the institution here.
To entertain the Panhandle & Southwestern- Stockmen's Con
vention, the class of conventions El Paso always gladly welcomes.
At this time it cannot be told what conventions the city will en
deavor to secure during the year, although one will be the next con
vention of the National Livestock Association.
To continue its co-operation in various ways with the War De
partment of our Government by securing lands for military uses in
caring for an enlarged post, and in other ways when called upon.
To provide a site and erect a hangar if El Paso is made a ter
minal for the Coast to Coast aerial mail route, which now seems
probable.
To continue bearing a share of the expense necessary in main
taining a County Agricultural Agency, and to co-operate in every
way with the valley farmers when assistance is needed.
To actively assist in carrying out reconstruction programs Initi
ated by our Government, thus doing our duties as patriotic citizens
as well as benefiting our city and more particularly our valleys.
These things the Chamber of Commerce can do If given the
necessary moral and financial support. The citizenship of El Paso
must decide whether it will have a commercial organization able to
keep abreast the activity and growth of the city or whether it must
be forced to lag behind and have its work restricted on account of
insufficient co-operation.
