Miss KakkikkOSki, leader of the So
cial Democratic party, announced thai
it was the purpose of the women tc
work hand in hand with the male leg
islators for the upbuilding of Finland
and denounced the mistaken impres
sion that the women would form ser
aItate group and follow a special pro
gram of their own. She bitterly con.
demned what she termed the "coQuet
ry Of the Frenchwomen, the slavery
of the German, the dullness of the
English and the conventionalism of
American Women
One of the most important measures
to be presented by a woman will be
the free marriage bill,'' prepared by
Mrs. MAZE Talvio, wife of Urofessor
Kikkala, of Helsingfors, university.
Mrs. Talvio is famous as a novelist
and has decided notions on the matri-
monial question, which are defined in
the proposed law The measure re
moves nearly all restrictions on mar
riage and divorce and provides for the
nearest approach to trial marriage ev-
er attempted in any civilized country.
The laws now governing Finland
were derived from reports of commit
Gators, both men and women, who
were sent to various countries to stu
dy and observe the forms of govern
ment. One committee spent some
time in the United States and many
features of that government are in
cluded in the Finnish code.
