WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Special Election To Be Held on
Tuesday Next, August 5.

There is offered to the woman
suffragists of Shreveport an oppor-
tunity for the exercise Of their right
Of franchise. At the election to bt
held on Tuesday next, August 5
women property taxpayers can vote
personally if so inclined, instead d
voting by proxy, as has been the
usual rule. 1t is the hope of ths
Caucasian that the woman suffra-
gists will not neglect this election
but will go to the polls and casl
their votes as do the men.
Two issues are TO be settled. One
is to provide the City Council with
authority to increase the interest
rate from ~ per cent to per cent
on the $iO1 500 Of public improve
ment bonds Of 1913 voted at an cleo
ton held on March 4, 1913, and also
authorizing the changing Of the date
Of said bonds from March 1, 1913, to
July 1, 1913. Tt is believed that the
proposition will be defeated. The
view is expressed from the observa-
tions Of citizens of prominence in
financial and commercial affairs
who do not view with favor the
proposed increase of interest from
4 1ato 5 per cent.
The defeat Of this proposed IN
crease of interest will not impair
the validity Of the ~ per cent
bonds approved at the election held
in March Of this year.
Y The second proposition is to au-
thorize the City Council to issue
$50, 900 OF negotiable serial bonds for
the purpose Of purchasing a paving
plant and machinery and repairing
certain streets.
An issue Of bonds Of $4,000 will
be insufficient to provide a paving
plant and machinery and the ma
terial needful to re-surface and re-
pair the streets which are not il
good condition. 1t would seem that
the City Council could provide the
ways and means for the repair OF
the streets without an issue OF
bonds. tt will be surprising if this
$50, 900 bond issue proposition is ap-
proved. The date Of this election
happens when the majority Of the
big taxpayers are rustieating at the
aseashore and mountain resorts OF
are seeing Europe. However, it is
believed that enough Of the "smal
fry will vote against. IF defeated
Shreveport will experience no great
loss. The citizens Of Shreveport
have about reached the stage OF
their municipal existence where
they have a surfeit of elections fol
bonds and are no more favorable t
bonds except when these must b
issued for municipal ownership ot
"a water plant.
Ladies, Taxpayers, Attention-Thf
Caucasian would advise you to go t
the polls and vote, and vote agains
the two propositions.

Rev. Stephens A. Nettles Aroused.

1t would seem that Rev. Stephens
A. Nettles is aroused, and is full oil
resentment over the style of dress
worn by some women. Rev. Steph-
ems A. Nettles the editor Of "Our
Christian Advocate" Of Spartans-
burg, S. C. In recent publication
in denouncing what he calls s'Sensu-
ality in Womens Dress" he said:
Somehow it seems that many
women live to display their forms;
it has gone so far that in some cities
laws have been passed forbiddlng
the appearance Of women upon the
streets in certain styles of dress.
Really, we believe it would be NOR
ally far better for the women to
follow the custom Of many African
tribes, who are robed in nothing
more than beads of perspiration,
than to wear these suggestive
dresses that. many are now adornine
their bodies with.
Let the press and the pulpit and
the city councils and State legisla-
lures and the truly modest women
of our land do all in their power to
avert the destruction being called
upon our country by these devllish
costumes
He believes that one Of the chief
sources Of this degeneracy Of mod
esty in our women is to be found III
the bathing custom and costumes.
Is Rev. Stephens A. Nettles critis
from information or observation.
1T may be observed in this connec-
ton that a few days since, as related
in the NeWs-Star, a handsome young
woman stopped railroad traffic III
Monroe for a few moments While
the engineer quit his seat and gazed
at the wonders Of the transparent
skirt when the Wearer got between
him and the sunlight A switching
crew on the Iron Mountain was at
work on the Olive street tracks
when the young woman in question
came before the engineers horizon
There was a swish Of the air and {,
grinding of brakes and as the loco
motive and cars came to a standstill
the engineer jumped from his seat
and ran to the other side Of the
engine to view the passing show
It's common occurrence for people
to stop and look at such sights. but
it is the first instance Of a train be-
ing stopped while the crew gazed.
And where is the man, or the rail-
road crew, or even the Rev. Sseph-
ems A. Nettles, that would not be at
tracted to the transparent skirt Of
a fashion bedecked Of the fair sex,
ito view the passing show trans
parent, etc.,
It's all in the style, but forum
ately not all women are slaves to
the style which to the Rev.Stephens
A. Nettles is shocking.
And then. it may be observed, its
a matter Of, well, which is left tG
the women who provoke men to
stop and gaze at the wonders Of tht
transparent skirt.

It has been announced from
Washington that Senator Ransdell
Of Louisiana is in favor Of the adj
ministration's currency reform leg
islation as planned for consideration
at this session In a public state
ment Senator Ransdell, as credited
has declared:
II am prepared to stay here just
as long as necessary to pass curren-

the President is right IN urging ac-
ton by Congress now. The matter OF
personal convenience Of senator's is
not an element that need be eonsid-

legislation and ii is our business tf
stay here and meet that demand
And I shall insist that we stay.
MY own personal experience as {
director in a small country bank es-

Notwithstanding the fact that the i'm.

LAW OF STATE IS DISCUSSED
Attorney General Miller Declares That

tional, Hence Should
be Enforced.

commissioners have been in receipt
Of complaints from grain growers

points where they have no competi.
ton. The elevator association issues
daily bulletins fixing the market price
of grains. 1t is complained that at
points where there are independent
buyers the line elevators bid above
their market cards to secure the bust.
ness and to destroy their competitors,
paying in some instances 4 or 8 cents
more a bushel for grain at competitive
points than at points where there are
none but line elevators.
Grievance For Years.
This has been the grievance among
the farmers for many years and the
last session Of the legislature sought
to remedy 1t by the enactment OF a
law defining unfair discrimination,
This law makes it the duty OF the at,
torney general on complaint to i'll

violated he ia empowered to annul

the request Of President Stutsman or
the board OF railroad commissioners.
Attorney General Miller has furnished
an opinion in which he declares this
act to be constitutional.
MIR. MiIIsr's Holdings.
He holds that the intent of the party
discriminating in prices must govern.
That is, if the Independent buyer is
the aggressor and bids above the mar.
ket price for the purpose of destroying
his competitor, then the line elevator
is justiiable in meeting this compe-
tition, Ii, on the other hand, the linz
elevator is the aggressor and bids
more for grain at a competitive point
where there is an Independent buyer
than at a non.competitive point, where
there are only line elevators, then the
provisions Of the act are violated. He
further holds that it is illegal Tor ar
Independent elevator company to pa,
to its own stockholders more per bush
el for their grain than other patrons
He further holds that the market re
ports sent out are advisory only ant
not binding on the subscribing ele
vatOrs.
