MANS INHUMANITY TO WOMAN

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, In max
ing comparisons between the laws OF ldaho'
where women vote, and the laws Of New
York, where this right Is denied 10 them'
sums IN in favor of the men-made laws
Miss Chittenden Is In error In her state
ment that in New York married woman
controls her own earnings
She controls her own earnings only wnen
engaged in a business separate and apart
from her husband and outside of the
household. Her earnings I'm and about the
household. of whatever character, whether
for the family or for strangers, belong 10
her husband. This includes taking board
ers. sewing. washing, etc. When married
woman works with her husband for thlrd
party her earnings still belong to him, and
the courts hold that married woman
cannot make a binding contract with her
husband To pay her for her services, az
they already belong to him and the con-
tract IS without consideration. True, a
married woman can hold her own property
free from the control of her husband. but
how is she to acquire property when her
services belong to her husband?
The instances where a married woman
engages In separate business are rare.
Hubands and wives are equal guardians
only of the persons. not OF the property
OF their children. and the courts hold that
in cases OF disagreement between them tho
father has the paramount right. the
father f. the sole guardian Of the property
OF the children. He ia the next of Kin and
sole heir Of the children and the only one
entitled to bring an action FOR the nesh-
gent injurlng or killing OF the children.
Miss Chittenden refers to the fact that
women voters have not exterminated Nor
moulsm in Idaho. We might with equai
fairness, call attention to the fact mat
with the great influence which the anti
suffraglsts claim women exert, it Is passing
strange they have not stopped all immoral
practices I'm this state.

THE FAPlfERS' FREE LIST.

REPRESENTATIVE T. ]. Hill. Of COnnecti'
cut. called the attention of the House
the other day 10 the grossly illogical and
discriminatory character of the Farmers
Gree List bill He aptly pointed out that
as an application Of Democratic theories
OF tariff taxation it was neither flesh,
fowl nor good red herring II violates
every rule for tariff revision ever laid
down in Democratic platforms. The ira
ditional demand Of the Democratic party
has been for tariff for revenue only.
But if revenue is 10 be the sole end Of
tariff legislation why put on the free
list articles which are now dutiable:
Why surrender revenue: Senator Bailey
and his followers are perfectly logical i'll
declaring that II duties are 10 be laid
for the single purpose of meeting the
cost OF government they should be made
moderate i'm order 10 insure Il maximum
Of produetiveness and should cover prac'
tically all imports so as 10 avoid the ap'
pearance Of discrimination. But Mr.
Clark and Mr.. Underwood have begun
the great work of reducing tariff duties
10 a revenue basis by charging the free
list and cutting down the governments
income by 100000 according 10 their
calculations. or by from S40,0O0.OOO IL
S6O.OoO.OOO according 10 the calculations
made by Mr. Hill.

Clark and Mr.. Underwood as "annihilat

Cleveland, and now headed by William
J. Bryan. 1t is the contention of the
economists of that persuasion that al
raw materials should come in free. sc
that the cost Of domestic manufacture
NAV be decreased. But the Farmers
Free List bill lets in finished products
as well as raw materials. 1t surrenders
the tax on both and sets the precedent
that imports should be taxed or untaXed

fcatioD but according 10 the profession

NEARING AZ END?

Borough President McAneny is sald 10
entertain the hope that subway nego-
tiations will end on May Is IN a report
by his committee 10 the Board or ESti-
mate and Appointment. The end al
ways lin sight is still nearly two weeks
off. twice as far off as the Mayor said 1t
was more than ten days ago. But 1t
does really begin to appear that the city
is approaching the final offers OF the TWO
competitors for the subway lines TO be
built.
The Interborough company. after cX-
hibiting its customary tirmness in regard
10 its offer of December. is recedinG in
It's familiar way. 1t will make new
offer in a few days. which may not be,
as the Mayor promised, so much better
than the present one rs TO bear no re-
semblance to il. but which will doubt
less contain substantial concessions. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company may
reply by adding somewhat 10 the at
tractivenesS of its offer. And 1t may
fairly be expected that these proposals
will represent the utmost that both COM
panies viii cOncede. The competition is
intense and between rivals of equal
strength. and It Will do what nothing
else could have done toward securing
the city an excellent bargain.
After the final offers have been made
there will be test Of the practical ca
pacity Of the Board Of Estimate and

lem. The board is none too harmonious
and the proposals before il are likely 10
be Of such character as to leave room

he hoped that the board will be able to
reach q conclusion promptly and that
