 There is one amusing feature of the discussion of the Moon bill to pay the railways for transporting mails and parcels post matters by the space occupied instead of by weight as at present. Advocates of the measure -Whlch appears as a, 'ridcr' to the Post Office appropriation bill-say that the Post Office Department will save seems odd that the railways should be making such strenuous opposition
 to a measure which would thus put so
 much money into their treasurics.
 The fact that the bill proposes to
 make the railway transport freight

D. c. SUFFRAGE BILL
.|SFAC|NGOBSTACLES
Poindexter's Measure Giving
Vote to Women and CoIored
People Opposed.

n Congress enacts the Poindexter
delegate bill which has been favorably
reported from the Senate Committee on
the District, the residents OF the Ma
tIonaI capital, who have heretofore not
been allowed to WELD the ballot, wIll
be permitted to exercise the franchise
to a limited extent.
The Poindexter bill provides for the
election OF a delegate to the House from
the District, this delegate to have the
same status as delegates from the Ter
rltories.
1t has repeatedly been urged that the
District, which has little real oppor-
tunity OF influencing the action of Con-
gress as to local affairs, ought to have
a delegate in the House and Senate
also. The plan for a delegate in the
Senate. however. did not find favor In
committee.
The District Is at present without not
only elections but the machinery for
holding elections. II the Poindexter bill
is passed. there will be provided most
OF the election machinery which would
be needed for any sort OF an election in
Washington.
One of the issues before Congress
now is whether there shall be a refer
endum to the voters OF the District OF
the question OF prohibition.
Two things stand in the way OF the
enactment OF the bill at this session
one is that there is a jam of legisra-
tion caused by the slowness OF Con-
gress in getting rid of important bills
Little disposition has been shown In
either house to rush measures. An In
dication OF this is that the House Nava,
Committee has been taking testimony
on the naval bill most OF the session
since December. and 1t has not finished
the naval bill yet.
The second obstacle in the way Of
the PoindeXter bill Is that II raises
suuarely the woman suffrage Issue. and
also brings In the proposition whether
the colored population here shall be
given opportunity to cast the ballot.
