plete emancipation of women from the

ly imposed upon her by the law until
now the constitutional restriction which
denies her entire equality at the polls
is practically the last surviving badge
of her supposed inferiority in personal.
civil and civic rights. The, legislature
could not, at the time section 1881 of
the code was enacted, constitutionally
grant women the right to vote for pub
lie officers, but it could allow her to
vote upon such questions of public pol
icy as might be submitted to popular
referendum and thus In some measure
protect her own rights as a citizen and
property owner. And this, we think, is
what the statute attempts to do. That
intent being apparent, the cout should
indulge In no refined distinctions to de-
feat the legislative purpose or to mini
mize its operation or effect. While the
presence Of women at the polls is ar
innovation which all do not view with
equal equanimity or satisfaction, yet TO
my mind, it is difficult to imagine any
good reason why she who Is mans
equal in other rights of person and
property, and has no less interest than
he in good government and social or.
der, should not equally with him make
her voice heard and her influence felt
at the ballot box where questions at
fecting the common good are put to
their final test. When that time ar
rives, and equalityiin fact as we'll as in
name is accomplished, may we not con-
fidently expect an advanced standard
Of good citizenship and more truly

SCHOOL GIRLS SERVE DINNER.
Domestic Science Glass Entertains
Tama Business Men.

Special to Times-Republican.
Tama, Jan. PA fine illustration Of
the use Of the public school building as
the community center was given Sat
urday noon when the girls in the junior
domestic science class of the Tama
high school served dinner for more
than fifty of the business and profess
sional men Of the city. There are only
seventeen girls in the class but they
prepared and served the dinner to the
entire satisfaction Of their guests
Tables were spread in the high school
auditorium and the fair mattresses
brought the different courses in as
prepared by the cooks in the class
room across the hall. A charge Of 35
cents a plate was made but the men
were SO well pleased with it all that
nearly every one disregarded the anti
tipping law and refused to accept any
change from the 50cent piece. The
girls cleared over $12 which will be
used by them to purchase table linen
for the department
Two purposes were served in this
gathering. The girls could try out
their abilities and the men could meet
on a common ground Of fellowship.
Similar get together dinners should be
arranged frequently and it is hoped
that arrangements will be made for
them once a week.

the women had the right to vote on this
proposition as question of taxes was
involved. tho not specifically stated.
The court was divided on this question,
however, the majority taking the
ground that women had the right to
vote in this case. Justice Preston
wrote the opinion and Justices Gayner,
Weaver and Ladd concurred. Justices
Deemer and Salinger and Chief Justice
Evans dissented.
Chief Justice Evans In dissenting de-
clared: Il am impressed that the ma
jority has adopted neither narrow nor
a liberal construction Of this statute,
but has, with unfeigned chivalry, added
something to the statute, and has tri-
umphantly beaten the legislature to the
final goal which Is assumed to be near
at hand. We may safely assume that
women are to be fully emancipated
from political disability. That emanci-
patton must ultimately came thru leg
islative enactment. Such legislation
when it comes ought to require no ju-
dicial construction; nor will 1t likely be
open to any difference Of opinion as to
its meaning.

EMIGRATION AFTER

There has been much spemIa-
tlOn as to emigration from
Europe 10 America after the war
Some have thought that there
would be Il rush to escape the
heavy taxation necessary TO pay
the war debts Others have main
tanned that the scarcity of labor,
owing to the casualties. and the
need for reconstruction on an nn-
prccedented scale would compel
wages that would keep the people
1T home. while the governments
might actually prohibit cnigra-
ZION Still another phase of the
matter is presented TO Americans
by the possibility of an exodus OF
foreign labor from this country at
the close of hoStilities.
OF recent years the bulk Of onr
immigration has come from three
countries, Italy Ausiro-Ilungmy
and Russia. II has been assumed
that practically all Italian resi-
dents who were members of the
Italian reserves took advantage
of the postponed entrance OF Italy
to return to the colorS. Russian
immigrants are not prone TO re-
urn to ihat country for various
obvious reasons. The natives Of
AuStro-lIungary alone have been
prevented from returning by
enemy control Of the seas II is
conjectnral just what reception
