A Mistake as to
 Women's Rights

There IS mistaken idea which has cropped out since the election that the right of women to vote in voived the right tG act as juror or oi- ficisl and the payment of poll taxes. None Of these has been conferred up- on the women. An attorney ssys that there is @ movement on foot to put through q bill placing women upon sn equality with men in all re- spects, ss regards civil rights. Should this be done they would have to pa } poll tax iu the same manner as tn e men and could sefre in office or on the jury.
