SUFFRAGE AND WOMEN.

During the recent eastern cam
paigns, one Of the great arguments
advanced against suffrage was that
the ballot cannot help women's
wages.. Four suffrage states and no
non-su1rage statess have State
wide law requiring that women
teachers In the public schools shall
receive equal pay when they do equal
work. Colorado has q minimum
salary law for teachers, requiring
that mo teacher shall be paid less
than $50 . month. II the locality
cannot AFFORD to pay 50 much. the
state makes 1t up. Colorado Is the
only state having this law.
Four suffrage states, California,
Oregon Washington and Kansas,
have compulsory minimum wage leg
islation for women. The powers OF
the Massachusetts Minimum Wage
Commission are only advisory. In
Utah the law requires that no girl
under IS shall be paid less than rs
cents . day: no adult learner or ap-
prentice less than 80 cents q day;
and no experienced woman less than
31.26 = day. In Massachusetts, any
starvation wage 10 legal.
