IL The following is all act of the last
legislature concerning which there has
been some discussion:
Women shall have the same right TO
vote as men have in all school district
meetings, and in the election of school
commissioners in town and cities, and
the same right to hold offices relating to
school affairs.
Some cold-blooded persons OF the
masculine persuasion have. we under
stand, been trying to convince their fair
friends that the right to vote and hold
Office thus given is as unsubstantial as
Barmecide feast, by claiming that the
right of men to vote depends upon the
payment OF taxes, including poll and
property taxes. Thus they assert, wo-
men can only vote by paying taxes upon
their polls and property. We even
learn that q prominent lawyer in this
county holds this view. But the ladies
can take courage and defy these malici-
Gus attempts to brighten them as to tho
value of their newly acquired rights.
We believe the view that the right to
vote is founded upon the payment Of
taxes is erroneous. Every male person,
either native or naturalized, who has
attained the age Of twenty-one years
and fulfilled certain conditions as 10
length of residence in the state and
town, lie entitled to vote. His taxes
are All entirely separate affair. Every
individual or corporate owner of taxa
BILE property must pay taxes there
on and 1t makes no difference whether
the owner Is man or woman, whether
Of age or a minor. Every male citizen
who 10 Of age must In addition pay a
poll tax. The right to vote is not pur-
chased by paying the tax ,nor Ia the right
forfeited by refusal or inability to pay
1t, except where person becoms town
charge rs a pauper. In short, the quail
fcations of voter have nothing to do
with his taxes.
Therefore, when the law says that
women shall have the same right to vote
o. men in all school district meetings,
1t means simply that every woman
twenty-one years of age or over can Cast
her ballots at such meetings Just as tho
men do. If she owns no taxable pro.
perry she will pay no taxes, but her
right to vote at school district meetings
and for school commissioners, and to
hold ofices relating to school affairs, is
now as unquestionable as that of the
man who paystaxes upon his millions.

u The Board Of Agriculture has
TINS far held six meetings, In as many

A scientific society in Paris has con-
demned oleomargarine as a substitute
for butter. 1t Is claimed that tho fatty
particles are absorbed In the organism
In state ofemulsion, and that the alb
sorption of the margarine will not be
SO favorably effected as that of butter.
Another ground for condemnation is
that the substitute in the hands of some
manufacturers is liable TO be adultera-
ted aud made unwholesome by the use
of impure fats and vegetable oils that
are difficult to digest.
