when they get the ballot" says Miss
Elizabeth Hauscr, suffrage lobbyist
at the constitutional convention, who
is confronted withe the threat of the
wet leaders to oppose suffrage un-
less women consent to forego the bal
lot on liquor questions.
81 have denied that the suffrage
movement was started to secure pro-
hibition. 1t has "A broader founda-
tlon than that and Is not allied either
with the 'wets or 'drys, but II wom-
an suffrage Is right II Is right re-
gardless of the particular things that
women will vote for.
Nobody asked the negroes or In
dians how they were going to vote
when they were enfranchised. No
body questions a foreigner when he
takes out naturalization papers, and
no one tries to restrict the boy cast
ing his first vote from registering un-
til he has committed himself for or
against some policy"

MAY INDICT 80
LABOR LEADERS
That Many Expected to be
Indicted in Indianapolis
Report.
Grand Jury Will Take up
Indictments Thursday
Night.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan 30.-Thc
beginning of the end of the federal
investigation of the alleged dynamite
ing conspiracy is at hand here today.
Final witnesses In the probe have
been subpoenaed to appear before the
United States grand jury tomorrow.
The federal officials say that, unless
unlocked for complications develop.
their examination will be completed
by Thursday night The grand Jury
will then proceed ito take up the uues-
tion of indictments.
Consideration of prospectivp
charges by the grand jury is expect
ed to take but a short time. II is now
planned for 1t TO report either Fri
day or Saturday. Immediate arrests
of men involved in the reputed elmer
circle" behind John j. and James y.
Mcnamara in their property destruc-
ton campaign, whereby they attempt
ed to secure concessions to union la
bor from employers, are expected
then.
Information at the federal build
ing indicates that thirty labor lead
ors are likely to be involved. The
number Of Indictments, however, will
be under this number, according to
reports. This will be due to the
grouping of individuals in some of the
indictments under the charge of con-
spracy to violate the federal laws
prohibiting the transportation Of ex-
plosives on passenger trains engaged
in interstate commerce. ~
Several individuals, It also Is said,
will be indicted for direct implica-
tion I'm the alleged unlawful carrying
OF dynamite Some of the involved
persons, according to the federal au-
thorties, will be indicted on several
counts.

MEMORIAL TO
JUDGE HARLAN

Washington, Jan. 3O.--In the SUI
preme court, where he served the ma
tion for thirty-four years, final trib-
ute was paid, to the late Associate
Justice John NJ, Harlan. Bench ana
bar united In specials memorial oxer-
clses. Resolutions Of the bar pre-
sented by Attorney General Wicker
sham, were In part as follows:
For nearly thirty-four years,
Justice Harlan honored his high posi-.
tion by faithful discharge Of his du.
ties. In 700 cases, he wrote the
opinion of the court. Some times he
spoke in radical dissent but whether
in assent or in dissent. 1T was always
in the language of honest and earn
est conviction
"There was an especial appeal TO
him in cases involving rights Of the
Individual. His style proclaimed the
man. It was simple, direct, strong
and rugged.
throughout the many years that
fell TO his part, as a man, citizen,
soldier and judge, he kept without
stain lthe name he bore and which he
cherished as the guide and inspira-
tion of his life. Strongly individual
in his view, he was keenly sympa-
thetlc with the widespread public
dread Of tendencies toward concen-
traHon of control over great indus
tries and creation of monopolistic
com bmations."

alton purposes is but an ingenious
device for shifting the burden of
taxes to those least able to bear It,"
the commission will say.
The tax commission quotes Gov
ernor Harmon at length In his oppo-
sltion ito classification and points 10
his message declaring for uniform
rate.
The commission, in it's report, will
say that the effort to classify prop
erty for taxation, so that lower rate
shall apply to one class of property
than to another, is merely an effort to
write into the constitution that be-
cause the owners of certain classes Of
property "persistently evade their
moral and legal obligations to pay
taxes upon their property equally
with the owners of real estate and
other kinds of tangible property. an
exception should be made in their
case and they should be placed in a
favored class"
If this proposition Is true. the COM
mission adds, the only logical thing
to do is to go to the single tax at
once.
The commission will say that so
long as there is property tax levied
the present constitution provision OF
applying a uniform rate TO all prop
en.y alike is the only just and equlta
BILE rule.
