allowed to ask a question of the speaker
Permission being accorded him he que

United States"
"Winston, although he knew that in
question was an important ONE, answered
it without hesitation. saying:

good old New England fashion-by ask

woMAN's STATUS IN LoUIsIANA
A Curious Anomaly Thai Has just
Come to Light.

A Curious Anomaly That Has just
Come to Light.
Ethel C.. Avery calls attention to the
present uniq3e status of Louisiana
women, says fhe Woman's Tribune, as
follows: "A curious anomaly has just
come to light in Louisiana. The late
constitutions convention gave tax
paying wome the right to vote upon
all questioG submitted to taxpayers.
t. o-.,t -s
frage laws Of the county, that any
woman who dad not wish to go to the
polls herself might give a proxy to
some one elseIto cast her -7te for her.
This was done out of ~chivalrous regard
for the women, who. it was thought,
might shrink from contact with the
polls. New Orleans is preparing to
hold its first election under the new
law, to decide upon a a. levy for
sewerage and drainage. An examin-
alton of the assessors books reveals
that there are more than 10000 tax
paying women in New Orleans, and
the mayor, the city council, the presi-
uEul OL the CITY DUdAu VI mGdALu anu
other civic dignitaries have been elo-
quently urging women to vote in IA
vor 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. II a woman gives a GER
tihcate to a proxy to vote for her the
certificate must be signed by two com
petent witnesses. Many New Osleans
women are now finding out for the
first time that by Louisiana law, which
is based on the old law Of France, a
woman is not a 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 a woman
may be a voter in her own right or
may cast a vote as proxy for another
woman she is not legally competent to
witness the signing Of the certificate.
