WOMEN CONCERNED T..
w. WITH TARIFF LAW

Washington, April 2S.-Suffragists
for the second time in a week, today
stormed the capitol to argue why wom-

mttted to suffrage on the same plane
as men through the adoption OF q con
stitutional amendment. In approaching
the committee the s~uffragists ha
brought along some OF their heaviest
artillery. - $50
Among those present to plead for
equal suffrage was Mrs. Anna Howard
Shaw, president of the National Ameri-
can Woman's Suffrage association. She
was seconded by Miss Helen Varrick

tional Republican association; Mrs
Harvey Wiley, wife of the former pure

resentative from California. and several
others.

arguments for the case.
Women and TARIFF.
The women were Mrs. Robert M. La
Toilette and Mrs. Sutherland, of Utah,
Representative Bryan, of Washington
state, was also among the pleaders.
Mrs. LaFollette argued that women
were as vitality Interested in tarifi
legislation as the men and declared
that every important piece of legisla
ton before congress in the last 20 years
had affected ONE equally. IF the
tariff in any way affects the price we
pay for what we eat and wear. IL the
combinations have anything to do with
the high cost of living, women shoulc
understand about it," said Mrs. La Fol
lette. If the price of h great staples
like beef, sugar. Oil, cotton and woolens
are fixed by monopoly, II the tarltf az
Fects the cost OF children'sr food and
