When Mr.. Cleveland was President of
the United States the business of the
country was Frustrated by the Wilson
German Tariff Bill. The revenues of the
Government were not sufficient to meet
the demands upon the Treasury, and a
bond issue of 1852, 900, 900 became neces-
sary. History has repeated itself. Again
the Democrats have Frustrated business.
The present tariff bill, the worst which
has ever afflicted this country, has caused
so great deficit in the Treasury that an
income tax has been levied A deficiency
bill, misnamed War Tax has been
imposed upon the people. Nevertheless
the dollars coming in rattle on the very
bottom of Uncle Sans strong box, and a
bond issue impends. President Wilson
says he is not a business man. Then
why did he assume to NEEDLE with the
business of this great country. Theories
and platitudes are dangerous things to

Women Should Take Warning

If the statement made at New

healthy American women are so rare
that they are almost extinct, is true,
it is time for the women of America
to take warning and look TO their

Women Voters Under the New
Educational Law.


Editor of The Banner:
In recent issue of the Woman
Journal published at Boston appear:
the following under Vermont notes
THE house passed an amendmen
to an educational bill to the effec
that women need not pay poll ta'
in order to vote in school meetings.
This statement is misleading as
the average reader would thus be LEI
to believe the act to be one of ad
vanced legislation, while as matter
of fact the status of women voters
in school meeting remains exactly rs
it has been for the past 40 years
only tax-paying women may vote
The only additional requirement be-
ng the taking of the freeman's oath.
The facts in the case are as fol
lows The law granting school suf
frage to women reads shall have
the same right as men" The next
logical question would be what are
the rights of men under the law Sec.

2nd. He must take the freeman
oath
3rd His list must have been TAX
en- including poll and taxes paid.
1t will thus be seen that an amend.
ment was necessary exempting wo-
men from paying a poll tax, as our
laws make no provision for taking
the polls of women; and without this
amendment of exemption, taX-paying
women would have been disfranchis-
ed. The intent of the legislature was
not to change the voting status of
women in this state.
This point should be fully under
stood by both men and women vot-
ers before school meeting else in
matters of bonding, the voting of
taxes, and election of officers, legal
complications might follow Under
the old law women were not required
to take the freeman's oath; under the
new law they are. This oath is to
the effect that voters will give their
vote or suffrage in such manner as
in their judgment will best advance
the interests of the state.
This is exactly as it should be-
Women should be made to feel they
are a part of the government under
which they live.
Gladstone once in addressing the
British Parliament said, "All who
live in a country should take an in
terest in that country and the vote
gives that sense of interest and fost
ers that love- This is precisely
what is claimed by suffragists
The recent legislature took an adj
vanced step in the new educational
law which especially favors women.
The state board of education may
hereafter be composed of persons"
instead of men" as heretofore.
Ii is now within the power of Gov
ernor Gates to appoint woman to
this board and many interested wo-
men, including teachers, suffragists,
and mothers sincerely hope this viii
