Women 10 GET Vote Immediately
Says Attorney General

Washington laws make no provi-
sion for canvassing the returns on
amendments to the constitution.
The vote on members Of the legisla-
'tufe and Of the supreme t0dft ftwi1l
be canvassed by the legislature which
meets in January.
At the attorney generals office at
Olympia it has been suggested that
in the absence of specific laws pro-
viding procedure, the vote on wo-
mans suffrage and the other amend
ment will be returned by county
election boards to the secretary of
state and then when all the returns
are in Gov. Hay will examine the
figures and if he finds that a major
ity vote as announced has been cast
in favor of the women's suffrage
amendment he will issue formal
proclamation to that effect and i'm
mediately upon issuance of such
proclamation women will be entitled
to vote.
In the opinion of the attorney
general the adoption of the. amend
ment also carries with it The right
of women to serve on juries.
On other mooted questions that
have already arisen the attorney
generals office expresses informal
opinions, including the following:
A foreign born woman, wife of q
citizen or of naturalized citizen,
need not be naturalized before she
can vote, as the citizenship Of her
husband extends to her.
The adoption Of the amendments
will not prevent alimony being
awarded divorced wives.

vices, and there will be a reading
room and a smoking room in the
suite.
''The rooms are to be furnished

pose, George A. Cooper will stand
responsible for 81, 900 more and in
all several thousand will be raised.
Maintenance will be cared for by
public subscription also, several OF
the members of the Dry Taxpayers
League having agreed to make them
selves responsible for the conduct OF
the enterprise.
"The rest rooms will not be in the
Y.M.C.A. building, and they will be
conducted wholly separate fom this
association.

Should Not Expect
Last Years Prices

F. Walden, in the November issue
Of the Ranch says:
There is little to be said about
the sale of the apple crop. 1t seems
that some growers are complaining
that apples are not bringing as much
as they did last year. Anyone who
expects as high prices as prevailed
last year is, in my judgment. doomed
to disappointment. l have been say
ing right along for months that we
could not expect last years prices.
The buyers in many cases got bit
last year and are cautious. In 1907
fruit went very high but the next
year sold at about half as much but
this years crop is selling much bet
ter than half of last wears prices.
l am not able to say just what
ought to be expected but / certainly
would not expect last years prices.
If the buyers have combined to keep
prices down lower than they ought
to be and then put them up as soon
as they can control the situation
it is a mean trick and ought to be
But l must be fully con-
vinced that such a thing has hap
pened before would venture on the
exposure. Certainly / shall have
to have other proof than that the
prices are not as good as last year
before / could believe such a COM
bination exists. Apples will not
always rule as high as they did in
1907 and 1909, and ought not to
for the good of the grower"

Editorial Comment.
Business and Politics.
(Richmond NirginlanD

Centred on business, the popular
heart fears for it's future By reason Of
politics. But human as this may bc
must be remembered that business"
and not politics is the central aim of
a prosperous people.
Like other general terms. business
has a hundred and one different def
nitions. TO Wall street it means
the business i'll shares; to Boston il
means mines; to Chicago, wheat and
pork; to Cincinnati, hour; to the South
cotton 10 Mcntana, copper; and 50 on.
70 considerable number Of gentle
men with easy flowing diction and
vivid Imagination it means politics.
But politics, IL business to Il few, is not
q business to the many. The people
indulge politics much as q community
accepts plague of measles among
the children. Neither. however pestif-
lerous. effects fundamentally the public
health.
The principal reason why no election
will seriously iniurc business SO far as
its actual results are concerned is that
the politicians by whom election re-
suits are illustrated know that what
ever they may do and thrive, they
must not touch business. They know
that the moment they make it more
difficult for the average man 20 live.
that moment they sign their death
warrant. with execution certain, if de-
layed. Politics from time to time has
injured business. but always more
because of the fear which the people
mad of the politicians than anything
the politicians did. The iiscrcdit into
which the Administration has fallen
is because the politicians nlistook the
restricted for the popular conception
Of business. Trusts are no more BUSH
ness in the grand total of endeavor
in this country, than politics. The
business that ultimately will enforce
its dQmanCs is that which is done by
the mass of small traders and work
crs and builders who, once they real
ize that they suffer from la"~ir'"' 'o.>
always take it out on the Legislators.
In this way and this way only is busl-
ness importantly in politics.
