FEDERAL ACT|0N|S
SUFFRAG|STS' HOPE
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Sees
Need of Congressional
Resolution.
AGREES WITH WILSON;
is ISSUE FOR STATES
National Legislation Is Necessary to
Expedite Work, Says Head
of Association.

Arguing that federal action is needed to
enable many of our states to take action
on woman suffrage within a reasonable
time. after a reasonable amount Of public
opinion is known to be in favor of such
action DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. presi-
dent of the National American Woman's S
Suffrage Association. through its congress
sional committee. argues for passage of
the Shafroth-Palmer resolution.
She contends that the President was
right when he told delegation Of women
who marched to the White House under
that suffrage is a matter for action by
the individual states. But how shall the
question be presented to the states?" she
asks. 'If Congress takes no action, each
state will have to amend its own consti-
tuition in order to provide for the en-
franchisement of its women.
Vermont can do this only by con-
stitutional convention. and its next con-
vention will be in 1920.
Must Wait Five Years.
New Hampshire must wait for a con-
stitutional convention, which will be held
in 1919. if a majority of the voters ap-
prove.
I'm New Mexico suffrage amendment
must have a three-fourths vote in each
house; and. when submitted to the
electors. must be approved by three
fourths of all those voting in the whole
state. and at least two-thirds OF all vot-

In Illinois an amendment must have
a two-thirds vote in each house. Only
one amendment may be submitted at
time, and the same one not oftener
than once in four years.
One can go down the list of states.

way of expressing popular sentiment
in favor of suffrage.
ITO those who are opposed or are in
different to woman suffrage 1t may
seem to be coming with amazing rapid
ity. To the women who mother a bill
through two legislatures and wage a
statewide campaign for a referendum.
all the time facing the fact that if the
amendment is lost they must begin
over again. progress by this kind of
state action is not swift. though 1t may
be amazing that anything is accom-

Two Other Methods.

Two other methods of state action
are proposed by suffragists. One method
provided for in the Bristow-Mondell
resolution now before Congress-is the
passing by Congress of an amendment
providing that no citizen of the United
States shall be deprived of the fran
chiSe because of sex, and the ratifica-
ton of this amendment by the legisla-
lures of thirty-si states. Ratification
is state action. But surely it is far
easier to get a favorable vote ratify-
ing congressional action from a legis-
lature than to get a state constitu-
ttonal amendment through two sue
cessiye legislatures. and then get a
three-fifths or two-thirds or even ma
jority vote at the polls.
The other method provided in the
Shafroth-Palmer resolution is the pas
sage by Congress of an amendment
providing for the submission of an
equal suffrage amendment in any state
after the filing of initiative petitions
signed by per cent of the voters of
the state. There again it is state ac-
tion-action by the voters of the state,
but action uninpeded by the difficult
provisions of the state constitution.
In 1912 Oregon and Arizona granted
equal suffrage to women. In both
states the amendment was submitted
by initiative petition. In November.
1914, Nebraska. Missouri and possibly
Ohio will vote on equal suffrage
amendments submitted by initiative
petition. But in many states it is as
difficult to pass an amendment provid-
ing for legislation by initiative petit
tion as to pass suffrage amendment.

Hold Daily Meetings.

THE legislature of Georgia convened
June a. On June 25 a woman suffrage
bill was introduced. The Atlanta local
society is holding open-air meetings on
the capitol steps every evening to further
the passage of this bill
I'm Florida the first euual-suffraGe
meeting was called in June, 1912. Such
was the enthusiasm aroused. that in less
than a year the constitutional amendment
of the suffragsts was taken up by a
prominent local attorney, was introduced
in the house. and was voted OH in the
legislature of 1913. 1t received a vote in
the house of 81 to 3S. which was consid-
cred remarkab bic in view of the short time
spent in agitation.
1T is said that New York was twenty
years in getting Il suffrage amendment
reported through one committee. The
Florida senate postponed the amendment
on account of the lateness of the ses-
sion by vote of 16 to Is. The FLORIDA
legislature did not convene this year.
but the suffrage associations are working
with the expectation of success IN loio'
They are receiving encouragement from
many business men. One of the most
important aids to the movement is that
the State Federation of Labor at its last
annual meeting adopted with only one
dissenting voice resolutions in favor OF
woman suffrage and calling upon tne
next Florida legislature to submit the
question to the people Of Florida.
In Florida there are now a state as
sociation, a mems league and thirteen
local clubs showing a few names or men
among the lists of Officers"

To Have Sacrifice Day.'

The official board of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
has appointed August Is as Sacrifice
day. on which all money raised or
saved is to go to the six campaign
states.
1.-TWO years ago the solid south was
considered as much of stronghold of
anti suffrage as ii, was of democracy.
Within that time an equal suffrage
amendment has been introduced in the
legislatures of six southern states,
West Virginia, Oklahoma, Florida.
Louisiana, Georgia and Kentucky, and
has come very close to passing in sew
eral ca ses.
I'm Louisiana, few days ago. suf-
frage bill received majority vote in the
lower house. The vote was 10 to Al in
favor of the amendment. but tvo-thirds
vote of all members elected was needed
Louisiana suffragists have good reason to
hope that the bill will pass the senate
and will be resubmitted to the house this
session. Possibly the change in the
political complexion Of Louisiana may
have something to do with the cause of
suffrage

WILL FIGHT SALOONS
IN EAST WASHINGTON

4 relentless war on the saloon in
East Washington is to be waged by the
East Washington Civic Associa ton,
permanent organization OF which was
effected last night at a meeting in
Rechabite Hall, 302 street southeast.
Opposition TO the granting of license
renewals to all saloons in the northeast
and southeast section, and resistance to
threatened encroachment of the liquor
interests upon the section will consti-
tute the associations chief work. al
though efforts will be made to prevent
all places OF injurious and demoralizinG
influence.
The anti-saIoon plans will be mapped
out by the officers and the directors
Matthew z. O'Brien, chairman of the
board. who also is emfIoyed as Coun-
sci. will base his opposition to saloons
principally on the ground that East
Washington is a residence district and
a majority Of its property owners are
opposed to saloons being located there.
Other directors are Miss Bessie Steinle.
Charles K. Hoover, ]. H. Hollinger. and
J. W. MCGUIRE.
In adopting a constitution last night,
twenty-one members, Including a num-
Der Of cIergymen attached their sig
natures, and elected the following Of
hcers: II. F. Lowe. president; J. R

warning toots OF the machine horn. In
an effort 70 keep from running down
the boys the machine was swerved to
the side Of the road and struck a tele-
