Corporate all over the country are
being urged to make heroic effort TO
secure the repeal of the corporation
tax law.
To secure the enactment of law
requiring the teaching of scientific
motherhood in the public schools of
Iowa. Mrs. Il. f. Carroll, wife of the
Governor of Iowa, will appeal to the
legislators i'm the interests of the girls
at the next session of the General AS
sembly.
A method of settling the women suf-
frage question in New York State is
proposed by Senator Bracket, who has
introduced bill providing that on the
day before next November election all
the women of the State be invited TO
go TO the polls and vote the same as
men. yes or no, to the proposed suf-
frage amendment. The plan is not ap-
proved by the leading suffragists, who
say that if the Legislature could grant
women permission to vote on this ques-
ton it could do so on others, which is
impossible so that the vote of the
women. if passed. would be illegal.
Gov. Shafroth and Chief Justice
Steele OF Colorado have issued a signed
statement to contradict the assertion
made by Rev. DIR. Underhill, of Denver
before the City CLUB of New York. I'm

aiming to show that suffrage had de-
moralized the women of Colorado. The
Governor and the judge say these
statements are untrue and that the
women of Colorado are the equal OF
any i'm refinement, education and fem
mime graces, none of which qualities
have been damaged by their fifteen
years of participation in public affairs,
while the government has immeasur-
ably improved by such participation.

Bold Robbery of JeweIry Store.
A hole two feet in diameter in the
plate glass window of the Dallas Green
jewelry store in Fort Wayne, Ind, in
dicates the exact spot where a daring
burglary, getting the thieves more
than 500 worth of valuable rings, was
pulled off. After smashing a hole
through the glass the thieves picked
up three small diamond shaped traps,
each containing six Masonic emblem
rings, and made their escape. Four
of the rings were set with diamonds,
two were valued at $50, one at 500
and another at S125. The other rings
were made upon exclusive designs and
as near as can be figured by Mr..
Green, the total value of the plumber

more than $1,000 were not molested,

Indiana and Ohio Snowfall OF 20
Inches Frozen Mercury Fails.
Zero weather froze solid the nine to
twenty inches of snow covering Indi-
ana. Schools in Indianapolis and most
OF the smaller cities of the state were
closed. Travel on the interurban cleo
trio railways was slow and uncertain
and many highways were blocked by
drifts. The temperature dropped
sharply at the close of a forty-eight
hour snOwstorm and registered from
2 to 6 degrees below zero in different
sections of the state The public
schools at Marion, o., were dismissed
the other day, as practically none of
the children was able to reach the
buildings. A snowfall of nineteen
inches covers the streets. The heavy
fall caused the collapse of the $10,-
600 frame auditorium at GAINESVILLE.
Complaints are coming in from central
Ohio farming districts that live stock
is suffering from lack of water, as the
small streams are frozen up.

CAV DIAN TARIFF UP.
Secretary Knox Tries to Straighten
Out Complicated Tangle.


Officials in Washington are now
deeply interested in the question of
the application of the maximum or the
minimum tariff to Canada. Secretary
of State Knox has summoned John
G. Foster, United States consul gen
eral at Ottawa, 10 Washington for con-
ference.
Ambassador Bryce has. it is stated
entirely misunderstood the friendly ex-
pressions of President Taft with ref
erence to Canada, and the United
States has been represented as easy
to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. AS result
Canada seems to have adopted a close
understanding with France that nei-
Their is to make any concessions, in
the belief that if Canada evadeS the
maximum France will also be able TO
evade it.
If the United States government had
formal assurances from Canada that
the Canadian government would coun-
tenance no concessions to the United
States the situation would be regard
ed as very critical indeed. That is to
say the American maximum would
almost certainly be applied to Cana
dian products and the Canadian sur
tax Of SO I: per cent would be added
to American imports into Canada.
