argument on suffrage in a New York
street car. I'm not &C old-fashioned
as to insist that our only place is in
the home, but" said the blonde.
"Well?" asked the brunette, with bat
tie in her dark eyes. Couldn't we
save all this trouble and fuss by Just
leaving things as they are? Why can't
we go on letting the men represent US?
They do the very best they can, and
everyone ! know has a man some
where or other in the family" The
brunette's voice was calm. but firm.
Jack is a Republican and | am a
Democrat. How a he represent me-,
when he can cast only one vote?' she
inquired sternly. For a few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. why. ! never thought Of
that before. II you have a misrepre-
sentative man In the family, | suppose
you do need the vote" Her voice sank
in a whisper. But please don't say l

This decision, II is said at the treasury, might be altered II congressman

probation OF Che law more favorable to their desires and pockdbooks.
Congressman. It is explained, have heshated to take this course for two
reasons; FIRST. because such an argument has been dimcult to invent, and
second. because II might prove embarrassing to any congressman adopting
such a course. The treasury department omcials hint that a decision IA
vOrabe to congressman might also put the secretary of the treasury in a bad
light
II remains now for Jome congressman holder than his fellows to intro
duce an amendment to the income tax law allowing campaign expenses to be
deducted from net congressional incomes. In the house, II is learned, those
responsible for the income tax law have steadily opposed any such change.
In reply to your verbal inquiry" says the nearly stereotyped reply of
the income tax division to the many applicants for information. you are
advised that the expenses incurred by a member Of congress in conducting
a campaign for reelection ire regarded by this Office as purely personal in
character, and, therefore. not dedudabe in a return Of your income under
the provisions OF the income tax law"

beers OF congress have awakened TO
the fact that they must allow the r

Thus there are several congressman

 Furthermore the people can't pos sibly make a crop unless they get help. They have no corn or feed of any kind for their stock, and no seed to plant and no way to get it and of course things will gradually grow worse if we can't make crop.

IN JACKSON
 COUNTY ARE DEPLORABLE
PeopIe Petition Legislature to Extend Time for Payment of
 Taxes.

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-Much time in the house Thursday afternoon was devoted to arguments on bill by MT. Brawner of Clay county to ex- tend the time for the payment Of taxes in that county from April 10 to Nov. 1. MT. Griffin of Pulaski op- posed the bill because it had not been properly advertised as required Of local bills. and moved that it be in definitely postponed, which failed. Gray of Independence and Ellis of Fulton offered an amendment to in- clude the whole state, and the bill with amendment was referred to the committee on ways and means.
 Earlier in the session a resolution was offered by MT. Findley Of Craig head county to request the govern ment to issue his proclamation to extend tax paying time till Nov. l, and this went to the committee on ways and means. Many members have received petitions from constit- uents for relief of this nature. Some of the opposition is based upon the statement that an extension Of taxes would work a hardship on the state treasury. One of the most striking petitions was that received by MT. Shaver from citizens of Union Hill, Jackson county, in part as follows: There are people in this neighbor- hood that are not able to buy bread for their families saying nothing about clothing.
 "There are children going barefoot ed and men and women wearing old shoes that will hardly stay on their feet. We have made no corn to feed our stock on, and none for bread. There are people that will actually starve if they can't get help from somewhere. There is no work to get anything out of, we can't find work
