Will Greatly Help Him in Dealing
With Problems Connected
With Panama Canal.
QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT
officials Urge Him to Recommend TO
Congress Single Headed
One for Zone.

Panama. Nov. 16-Prcsident Tafts
visit is bearing fruit in the matter OF
the first hand information secured
which will help him to deal with the
problems involved In the construction,
maintenance and control of the Pana-
ma canal.
Officials OIL the ground are urging
the president to recommend to Con-
sress q single headed government for
the canal zone and full and permanent
government control Of the waterway
and the supply dcpots.
President Taft Is sratifed over the
results of his three days inspection.
Today lie went deep down in the Guile
bra cut. giving especial attention to
this. the most difficult part of the con-
struction.
The president was surprised to learn
that the zone was not included in the
operations of the postal bank law and
that some of the workmcn believed
Wall street influence had robbed them
of the benefit of this legislation 1t Is
probable Mr.. Taft in his special mes
sage to Congress will recommend that
provision be made for the establish
ment of postal banks in the zone.
During the day. the president heard
delegations of mechanics and lhborcrs
who are asking Increased wages, based
on increases in the United States. Con-
ditions here, however, differ from those
in the United States. as the govern
mcnt commissary has been successful
in ;tverting the nigh cost of living that
has been present elsewhere.
1t Is doubtful II higher wages will be
paid in the zone.
Tonight the president will leave Uni
ted States territory to enter Panama
City, where he will be the guest OF
President Arosemcna ut a banquet. He
also will visit American Minister Daw-
son, who recently returned from n spc-
cial mission to Nicaragua, where he
assured provisional President Estrada
of the help of the United States In or
gnnizing u new government of the re-
public and in solving the financial DIFF
hculties Of the country.

OFFICIAL COUNT
OF CITY COMPLETE
Canvassing Board Find Little
Discrepancy From Original
Returns.
ORDER TO OPEN PACKAGE
In Five Districts In County Every
thing Was Sealed Up Requiring
Order OF Court to Disturb.

At noon today the county commits
sloners had completed the canvass o.
the election returns of the 70 >Sstricts
in the city and had commenced on the
A county districts. Thus far there
has been little discrepancy between the
canvassed count and the original re-
turns.
Judge C. w. Morse granted this
morning the application of Mrs. Mar
gnret Zane Witcher for an order to
open a sealed package containing the
official returns from 1--WE districts In
the county. In these five districts the
official register. list Of voters chnl-
lcnged. the poll book. the tally sheet
and the official oaths of the Judges,
with the ballots cast, were all scaled in
tho one package.
1t is prescribed by the election law
that the ballots cast shall be sealed
separately, the other official documents
to be retained intact by the county
clerk for the period of one year. and
for this reason 1t was necessary to OBJ
tain an order from tho district court
to open the package.
A peculiar situation prevailed in the
Twenty seventh district. In this dis
trict either the machines failed to rec
ord the entire vote cast for the Social
list candidates. or the Judges failed to
put all of 1t down. or the votes were
never cast. The general run of the
Socialist vote was 81 but In numerous
instances the tally sheet showed only
three. The difference. of course. will
make no change in the general result
Because of the long lists, the canvass
ing is proceeding slowly and will not he
least. The county vote, 1t Is believed,
will require little more time than
was required for the city. owing to
the fact that many of tho county dis
tricts use the old Australian ballot sys-.
tenn. there being only eight districts
where machines are used.

The earl of Crewe,t secretary of. sta to

The impression is widespread {. lis
meeting with Premier Asqnith und
with the privy councillors the king sug-
gested that the veto bill be sent In
due course to the upper chamber for
consideration. This probably coin
cided with Mr. Asquith's personal wish.
The carl of Crewe did not place any
specific limit as to the length of the
debate on the veto bill, but said the
government later would consider when
the second reading of the measure
should be taken. Lord L,ansdownc, the
opposition leader, thus scored the first
point In the political game and disor-
ganized the governments original plans

he did not agree with the belief eN-

sively that it is impossible to settle
this question by agreement" The earl

Il never had an opportunity to be

yesterday, but there is one union that
| am going to join as soon as 1t is
union.
Women have social equality with
men now, and political equality Is COM
ing, but we must also have economic
equality. A housewives union would
be good means to this end. 1t would
do for II starter. anyhow.
why shouldn't there be minimum
scale OF allowance from the husband to
tho wife. think 1t should be at least
half of all he earns. For If the woman
did not take full charge of the home,
the man could only spend half the
time he does now making money, SO
you see one-half his wages really be-
longs to the wife, as his partner.
.'Women do not receive the same
wages as men, simply because they
have not fought to DO recognized. we
have to fight for everything we get.
We had to fight for social equality:
Now we are fighting for political and
economic equality"
