REXALL STORES ARE
TAKING STRAW VOTE

At the request of Louis X. Liggett
of Boston. Mass. president of the
United Drug Company, the Rexail
stores all over the country are TAX
ing a straw vote among their custom
ers TO ascertain their preference for
president of the United States. The
plan is for the proprietors of such
stores to ask twenty or more of their
patrons each day whether they favor
Hughes or Wilson and forward the
result to the office of Mr.. Liggett. AS
there are upwards of 5000 Rexall
stores in the United States it is ex-
pected that the opinions of 10000
voters on the proposition will be re-
corded each day. AS the solicitation
was designed to cover period of
eighteen days at total of 100000
votes should be sent for compilation
during the campaign, which is about
one-fifth of the number of the votes
cast at the presidential election four
years ago. Each days vote will be
compiled in Boston and a bulletin
showing the result from day to day
will be mailed to every store taking
part in the canvass to be posted in
its window for the benefit of the pub
lie

In speaking of the State Board of
Equalization Mr.. Link said that their
duties did not duplicate or overlap the
work of the tax commission. The
Equalization board is made up of
the Governor. Attorney General, Sec
retary of State, Auditor and Treasur-
er. They sit in session from time
to time and after a hearing they
adjust inequalities as they arise, in
both state and county.
The Tax Commission supervises
the various tax details in the coun-
ties. cities and towns and also the
various corporations. There is no
duplication of duties between the
two bodies.
In reference TO the taxation of
railroads the speaker stated some in
teresting facts. He said that under
the state law a railroad was taken
az a unit and then the amount OF
tax was distributed over each mile of
the road within the state so that on
the Santa Fe. for instance. mile OF
the road near Canon City was taxed
the same as a mile on their main
line. Terminals were included in this
unit.
The proposed bill TO abolish the Tax
Commission, If passed. according TO
Mr. Link, would be unconstitutional.
His opinion he said was based upon
the authority of competent attorneys
who had studied tie proposed bill.
In explanation OF TIE effects OF the
act which reads. IAN Act to abolish
the Colorado Tax Commission and
transferring its powers and duties to
the state board of Equalization
would be to place tire duties OF the
Commission. which is now head over
heels in important work upon the
shoulders OF the Equalization Board
every member OF which has engross
ing duties of his own to perform and
each one OF whom would find but lit
tie time to devote TO the absorbing
and important question of taxes.
The bill was placed on the ballot by
petition 90 per cent of the names be
ing secured in Denver and Weld
counties where there are a number
OF land owners. property holders and
corporations who are disgruntled be

raised.

He refused July 2s, 1870 the re-
quest of Democratic Copgressmen
from the equal suffrage states to al
low the suffrage amendment to be
voted on in the House. western
Representative said to Miss Maude
Younger, of California: He does not
care what happens to us. He pre-
fers to get the support of the anti
suffrage element in the big eastern
states than to yield to the sentiment
of the western states"
In his speech accepting the 1916
Democratic platform he omitted all
reference to woman suffrage.
He has shown throughout his ad-
ministration an instructive contempt
for the claim of women for self-gov-
ernment.
He went to Philadelphia (May 10,
1870 to welcome to citizenship four
thousand newly naturalized foreign
ers. and reused to see for five minutes
deputation of women, the leading
social and civic workers of Philadel-
phia, who wished to lay before him
their earnest desire for enfranchise-
ment.
He refused 10 see at the White
House two distinguished representa-
/ tives OF this delegation, who waited
three days in Washington in the
hope of obtaining an interview with
him.
He was unwilling to receive .depu-
tation OF Kansas women (February 3.

snow an hour outside the governors
residence. This was Mr.. Wilson's first
visit to a free state since entering

chised women of Kansas thought ii
