REDUCTIONS IN RATES
ON OLD DOMINION LINE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Grants Railway Time to Make
Suggested Changes in Fares.

Reductions in rates ranging from Al
cents to SIT on Communication tickets on
the Washington and Old Dominion rail-
way, together with similar reductions on
other forms of communication tickets. were
suggested yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission. The commission,
however. announced that no order is to
be entered ct this time and that the
railway will be allowed reasonable
time within which voluntarily to make
the changes suggested. No. change was
directed or suggested by the commission
in the matter of transfers. The case
is that brought by S. T. j. Price and 9TH
ers against the Great Falls division OF the
Washington and Old Dominion line.
Changes suggested in rates for forty
six-trip monthly communication tickets
were as follows:
From Franklin Park, old rate, 1887
new rate, se90.
From Mclean, old rate, s4.72; new
rate. 1856.
From Hitaffer. old rate. s5.77; new
From Great Falls. old rate. 1857; new
rate, 50.
Family Communication Tickets.
The commission suggested that family
communication tickets, good for three
months and containing twenty-six round
trip tickets, should be sold from all points
between Harrison and Vanderwerken, in
elusive, to Cherrydale. for 81. The further
suggestion was made that the present
twenty-six-trip family Communication tick
ct should not be Cancelled, but that re-
adjustment Of rates might be advisable.
Rates on these tickets, including trans
fer to points within the District, are sug-
gested as follows:
From Franklin Park. old rate SLIGO. new
rate $1.25; from Viresco. old rate $215,
new rate S1.SO; from Hitaffer, old rate
s3.75. new rate $40; from Elkins. old
rate $50, new rate $50: from Great
Falls, old rate Sc. new rate $40.
The commission declined to consider
the financial condition Of the Washington
and Old Dominion railway. holding that it
was unnecessary to discuss the financial
condition Of the road in connection with
this case"

About the County :


From the Pioneer:
The business district of Hendricks
had a miraculous escape from being
burned early Tuesday morning. At
about 2 o'clock fire was discovered in
a stock-room at the rear of the p. j.
ton, together with favorable weather
conditions, saved a big portion of the
business district of the town from be-
ing laid in ruins. Mr.. Ness, the pro-
prietor of the store, who, with his fam
lily, occupy the second floor as resi-
dence quarters, detected smoke COM
ing in through a back window directly
over the store-room and his timely dis
covery saved the town a costly fire.
The alarm was turned in and in a
short time members of the fire depart.
ment and others had both chemicals
and water in play. The blaze was
found to be entirely confined to the
rear shanty but was steadily creeping
into the main building when checked.
By three o'clock, an hour after the
gong sounded, the situation was under
control. The goods stored in the an
hex consisted mostly of grocery de-
partment staples and Mr.. Ness places
his loss between $40O and $500. With
cold weather and a strong wind, mat
tiers might have been different. The
city tank was nearly full of water but
Marshal Evans pumped the well dry
and with a big fire the water in store
would not have been sufficient, in fact,
it would have been only a drop In a
bucket.

Votes for Women Column

Resolved; The women OF South
Dakota should be allowed the right
Of suffrage.
First: The women of South Da.

ture of the money they pay. A wo.
man may pay thousands of dollars in
taxes on her property and yet have no
vote as to the disposition of that
money, while a man without a penny
to his name can go to the polls and
cast his vote. Why should that man
have the right of suffrage while it is
denied the woman?
Taxation without representation is
tyranny. Our f%orefathers in the Revo-
lutionary War fought and died for that
belief, and yet the men of today COM
placently allow the women to bear
that same yoke of tyranny, when a
word might set them free.
Second: 1t is not just that one

From the Record:
Last Wednesday, March 4, at the
home of the brides parents in Union
township occurred the marriage of
Louis Lamp, of this place, to Laura
Suhl, and Henry Schmit to Ella Suhl,
Rev. P%iethmann of Hardwick, Mimi,
performing the ceremony in presence
of the immediate relatives of the con
tracing parties. They were attended
by Herman Schmit and Ed and Agnes
Suhl. The brides were prettily attired
in gowns of white messaline silk, the
bridesmaid was also dressed in white.
After the ceremony a bounteous sup
per was served. Mr.. and Mrs. Lamp
will go to housekeeping at once OF the
Claus Meyer farm and Mr.. and Mrs.
Schmit on MI. Schmit's fathers farm,
better known as the James Hendry
place. These young people are all well
and favorably known and have the
best wishes of a host of friends for a
long and happy life's journey.

men are on the average the intellect
ual equals of men, and some are far
superior in mental achievement. A
just man ought to accord to every
other human being the rights which
he demands for himself. The fact that
women have not voted heretofore Is
no argument in favor of anti-suffrage.
1t is rather a reason why they should
have the vote Immediately, and thus
right a great wrong as soon as posi-
BILE.
1t is nonsense to affirm that women
are physically disqualified. In every
struggle since the landing of the Pill
grims at Plymouth Rock, women have
borne their share of our country's bur-
dens. Brave mothers, wives, and
daughters have with breaking hearts
buckled on the sword and sped the
soldier on his way, and when the
double duties of the home and the
battlefield and the hospital fell to
these women, they sacrificed them
selves with a bravery worthy the
greatest patriot that ever lived. 1t
has been so through all the ages, and
is true now, in these days of labor
uprisings, when women do not shrink
from doing even picket duty side by
side with their men, often going to

work of child saving. So long as VIC.
men are prevented from voting, just
so long will they be kept from posi-
lions for which they are eminently
fitted. In America the majority of
girls are given a better education
than boys. They go to school longer,
and they read more after they leave
school than young men do. There
are also millions of middle aged wo-
men banded together in study clubs
all over the country, and it is folly to
claim hat these women are not we'll
qualified to understand any political
question.
Women have proved themselves
competent to hold any office and there
are certain positions for which they
are peculiarly fitted. A jury of wo-
men has proved satisfactory in sew
eral cases, and particularly so, in a
trial involving girls or women. Many
delinquency courts in the eastern
cities have on the staff a wise, sympa-
thetic and motherly woman who takes
under her care girls who are guilty of
some m~isdemeanor,. By her help and
understanding they are set upon the
right road, armed with knowledge and
new strength.
No man can have the tact, sympa-
thy and intuition necessary in this
position.
But perhaps the greatest reform
which the ONE would bring about is
the abolition of the liquor traffic. Hun
dreds of towns have been voted pro-
hibition since women have had the
franchise. And in destroying this one
great evil, others will follow as a ma
tural sequence, for drunkenness is the
cause of more crimes than any other
one motive.
Therefore: Since taxation without
representation is tyranny; since it is
not just that men alone make the
laws; since women, with the aid of the
ballot, will greatly promote the gen.
eral welfare, the women of South Da.
kota should be allowed the right of
suffrage.

ARBoR DAY

The succession Of the reasons has
again brought nea the s%pringtime,
and with it comes the summons to all
people to, in some manner, give fitting
and proper acknowledgment of hui
manity's debt to Nature, and individ-
ual expressions Of their gratitude for
the blessings of spring.
The general recognition of the
varied benefits to be obtained by a
large activity in tree planting has in
many states and countries resulted in
the setting apart and observance of
one day in the spring Of each year as
Arbor Day, and it is in accordance
with this custom that I hereby pro-
claim Friday, April "a, 1914, as such
day and recommend its broad, prac.
teal and earnest observance through
out the state by old and young.
1t is well that our youth realize
early the importance to the state and
nation of the preservation and conser-
walton of forest and woodland, and /,
therefore, request the special obser-
vance Of the day by the public schools
of the commonwealth. / would sug.
gest, also, that the civic organizations
and commercial clubs of the various
cities and towns unite with and assist
the county and city superintendent
of schools in the preparation of suit
able exercises, to the end that the cul-
ture of trees, shrubs and flowers may
be encouraged and the tree-planting
movement become general.
In Witness Whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of
South Dakota, this seventh day of
March, A. ~, 1914.
