STATUS IN LOUISIANA.
Women Have the Right to Vote II They
Are Tax Payers

lSf4R - q
Ethel g. Avery calls attention to the
present unique status Of Louisiana
women, says the Woman's Tribune, as
follows;
"a curious anomaly has Just come to
light In Louisiana. The late eonstitu-
tional convention gave tax-paying
women the right to vote upon all ques-
lions submitted to Taxpayers. 1t add
cd q clause, unique in the suffrage
lava Of the country, that any woman
who did not wish to 50 to the polls
herself might give proxy to some one
else to cast her vote for her. This was
done out Of chivalrous regard for the
women, who, 1t was thought, might
shrink from contact with the polls.
New Orleans is preparing to hold it's
first election under the new law, to
decide upon q tax levy for sewerage
and drainage. An examination OF the
assessors books reveals that there are
moro than 10000 tax-paying women In
New Orleans, and the mayor, the city
council, the president of the city board
of health and other civic dignitaries
have been elcquenty urging women to
vote in favor Of better sanitation for
their homes.
Some OF the women thought they
would rather vote by proxy; and this
has brought to light the anomaly in
question. If woman gives certifi-
cate to a proxy to vote for her the cer-
tiflcate must be signed by two compe-
tent witnesses. Many New Orleans
women are now finding out for the
first time that by Louisiana law, which
10 based on the old law Of France, a
woman is not q competent witness to
a legal document. In Louisiana tax
paying women may vote on the expen-
diture OF their taxes, and in this way
are IN advance of all the northern and
eastern states. But while q woman
may be voter in her own right or
may cast vote as proxy for another
woman she Is not legally competent to
witness the signing Of the certificate.
Mrs. Evelyn W. Ordway, president of
the Era Club Of New Orleans, which
has been active in this effort for I'M
proved sanitation, says: This shows
the advance that has taken place DUR
Ing the interval between the making OF
the old and new laws She adds that
she believes few women will prefer
TO cast their votes by proxy"

In a Hurry.

The police were given queer case
last week. A man unknown to them
went into the yard Of Shalersville
mouse to get drink of water. While
he was at the pump the woman of the
house came out and, seeing him,
said:
Here, you, you are just the man
I've been looking for"
She went back into the house, came
out with clothes wringer in her
hand, and handed it to him, saying:
Take this away with you. won't
pay another cent on it. My husband
scoldsd me terribly for buying it from
you, and won't take It."
But, madam" began the man.
There are no butts about 1t; you'll
have to take it with you. You can
keep the SO cents I paid on It, but
take it away out OF my sight. Thatll
DO, now; I won't talk with you any
more about it.'
And she went back into the house
leaving the wringer in his hands. he
carried 1t down to a Temperanceville
saloon and traded it for quart Of
whisky. That was the last seen of
him. The woman lodged a complaint
against him for obtaining goods under
false pretenses, but the police are I'M
able to find him. The agent who sold
the wringer to her insists on her pay.

Who Would it Iniure?

II the people on ample security, (say
such as the banks accept), could get
money from the government as cheap
ly as the banks do, what class, but the
money lenders, would be injured? The
bankers pay one per cent. One per
cent for the use Of $1,000 would be $40
a year. A man with that sum could
buy a 5000 lot, build an $500 house, and
1T would cost him $40 for interest, $40
more for taxes and S. for insurance, a
total OF 1926 a year as the expense of
owning home instead of 80 month
or Sl2O year for rent. If the govern
ment would treat the common herd as
1T does the national bankers, there
would, for time at least, be no idle
carpenters, and very few homeless
families. And who would it injure?
The fixed payments from the peo-
pie to provide revenue for government
expenses, transportation charges, in
terest and taxes amount to about S24O
per family annually. Some families,
perhaps one in twenty, pay as high as
$1,000, leaving the other 10 families to
pay $500, or 5000 family. Even those
TOO everlasting poor to own more thar
one meal ahead, and who barely have
change of clothing, for indirect taxes
upon what they consume pay undoubt
edly 1926 year, while the great bank
ing corporations, the combines that
stand between the producer and the
consumer, compelling the former tc
sell his product at the bare cost of pro
duction and the latter to pay price
that keeps him always on the verge O
starvation, with an income from tn,
labor of the one and the necessities O
the other OF millions annually, refus'
to pay an income tax upon the million
thus unjustly wrung from the neces
stiles of producers and consumers.

The st. Paul Dispatch congratulates
itself and the republican party upon
the fact that Bryan will be lacking in
money to make the campaign of 1900.
IL might in addition have truthfully
stated that every trust and combina-
nation OF corporate greed, every mo-
nopoly either in money or business,
every bank and railroad corporation
will contribute to the republican cam
paign fund. Ninety-fve per cent of
the voters of the United States have
interests directly antagonistic to the
interests Of those who will contribute
these funds to the republican party.
VIII the masses allow their cause to
fall for want of funds for legitimate
expenses?

A representative Of one of the lead

had some amusing experiences while
reporting conferences. One Of these
did not sson humorous to him while 1t
was occurring.
The conference he was attending
was Ia small town in Nebraska and
representatives were expected from
the entire northwest. 1t was to be a
big affair. On the day previous to the
meeting terrific blizzard swept down
through the Mississippi valley from
across the Canadian line and serious
ly impeded traffic through this dis.
triot. When the conference assem-
bled the chairman arose and read two

Their Pets.

Nine. Adelina PATHS affection for
her parrots is well known. She had
one favorite bird, "Cooky," who al
ways had to have q light left burning
in his room at night as he had curl
Gus trick of falling of his perch when
be was asleep. He could not see in
the dark and consequently was I'M
able to find his way back on to his
perch. Hence he was accommodated
with a night light.
Nine. Melba had a curious pet. 1t
was Mexican beetle, to which she
had attached a small chain. This al
lowed 1t a certain amount of freedom,
without an opportunity for running
away. She liked to have 1t on her
dress.
Nine. Christine Nilsson has q pet
monkey on which she and her STEP
daughter lavish much care and atten.
ton. They keep the funny little crea-
ture dressed in the latest Partisan ia
shion at all times.
