GRAND MATRON ORDER OF EASTERN STAR
PAYS VISIT TO PENSACOLA CHARTER

THE Order of the Eastern star has
the largest membership of any
woman's organization in the world"
said Mrs. Alice Fl. Haskell, last
night, as she sat in the parlor of the
San Carlos hotel, and talked of this
order with which she has been assoc
ciated for so many years.
mot as great as the suffrage or
ganization," was ventured. Mrs.
Haskell admitted this, but aptly sug-
gested that the great organization of
suffragists are made up from women
of every organization in rne world.
Mrs. Haskell is not a suffragist, but
one feels sure, after talking to her
and watching her womanly counte-
nance sparkle with intelligence and
enthusiasm, that she would be one of
the first women of Florida to vote,
and that when her ballot was cast it
would be conscientiously and with in
telligence.
Mrs. Haskell is not only a very
charming woman to look at but a
most delightful woman to talk with.
Her alert mind and sympathetic un-
Outstanding admirably fit her Tor the
important office she holds, and to
which she was elected at the annual
session of the grand chapter o. E. s.,
which met in Jacksonville last April.
Mrs. Haskell has just returned
from the general assembly of grand
chapters which recently met in Louis
vile. The assembly convenes once
every three years, and Mrs. Haskell
spoke very proudly of the fact that
Sister Cora r. Franz, grand treas
urer of the grand chapter, and past
grand matron of Florida, was elecced
at the general assembly in Louis
vile to the important office of Right
Worthy Grand Conductess of the gen.
eral grand chapter of the O. E. S.

MRS. WALTER d.
LAMAR ILL.

Friends in U. d. C. circles, not only
in Mobile, but throughout the state,
will be glad to learn that Mrs. Walter
Lamar is not so seriously i'll as was
thought at first. Mr.. Lamar left with
Mrs. lamar Wednesday for Philadel-
phia, where she underwent a thor
ough examination by DR.. McRae, who
announces that she has no serious
heart trouble, but is suffering from a
nervous breakdown, for which she is
receiving the rest cure at Jefferson
Hospital in that city.
Mrs. Lamar's energies have been
given to the state largely in her ca
pacity as state president of the U. D.
c., beginning with her wonderful full
fillment Of this office as hostess OF
the general reunion, u. D. C. and u
c. v. in Macon in 1913, when she ac-
complished so much for the great
event and since then as editor for the
U. d. G. in the Constitution, as state
chairman for infirmaries for the
State Federation of Womens' Clubs
and as vice president of the city fed
eration.--Augusta Chronicle.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-11-14

The membership of the Order in
Florida is about four thousand, with
ninety-six chapters. There are ABOUT
$4,000 members in the United
States.
Mrs. Haskell is not a native Flor
idian, but has lived in this state so
long she feels that Florida Is her
home, and certainly thirty-one years
should give one the right to consider
any state ones own.
I'm the past five years." said Mrs.
Haskell, ''the order has increased
wonderfully in the state" Mrs. Has
kell has been member of the organ
ization since 1894, and is very closely
in touch with the work throughout
Florida.
1t is the custom of the Worthy
Grand Matron to pay each chapter of
the organization an annual visit, and
Mrs. Haskell is now mixing tour of
West Florida. She has already Wis
tied Melborne, Greenville, Carrabelle,
River Junction, Blountstown, Com
pass Lake, Bluff Springs, reaching
Pensacola last night. She will adj
dress the local chapter this evening
at their chapter house in the Masonic
Temple.
She will leave Pensacola Wednes-
day morning for Lynn Haven, and
will later go to Cottondale, Green
wood and Quincy.
On November 18th, at Grand Ridge,
Fla, she will conduct a school of in
struction, which will be arrenueu by
delegates from all over West Florida.
Mrs. Haskell, with her husband,
Judge E. E. Haskell, is at the San
Carlos. Judge Haskell is past grand
patron of the state of Florida, and
his meeting with his wife here was
planned as pleasant surprise for
her, in the midst of the many duties

years, and suffrage in Tallahassee
four years ago was most unpopular.
But Miss Rankin possessed not only
much womanly charm, but a keen wit
and logical mind, and many of the
bitterest opponents of suffrage be-
came her warmest admirers. One of
the ablest speeches ever made in the
house of representatives in Tallahas-
see was made by Miss RANKIN, for
the suffrage amendment.
One of the most ardent supporters
of Miss Rankin, during the recent
campaign, and one of her closest
friends, is Miss Jean Bishop, of Vii
Ion, Montana, who is well known in
Pensacola, having visited Miss Ger
trude Friedman here about two years
ago. Miss Villon stumped the state
of Montana in the interest of Miss
Rankin, during the recent campaign.
Says a staff special from Montana:
Politics are not be the only inter
ests of Miss Rankin, first congress-
woman in the United States, just
elected on the republican ticket in
Montana.
Miss Rankin makes her own gar
ments, designs her own hats and does
her own cooking.
The congresswoman's platform is:
National woman suffrage, child well
fare, tariff revision, nationwide pro-
hibition and greater publicity in con-
gressional records.
Miss Rankin is a graduate of the
University of Montana and of the
school of philanthrophy in New York
city. She is small, slight ana mas
light brown hair. She has been active
in the political and suffrage affairs
in Montana for several years.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-11-14

At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Pensacola Equal Suffrage League
which was held at the city hall last
evening the local league voted to
send a wire to Miss Jeanner,e han-
kin, congratulating her on her cleo
ton as congresswoman from the
state of Montana.
Pensacola, and the entire state of
Florida, takes the greatest pride in
the election of Miss Rankin to this
high office, the first such office ever
to be held by woman in the United
States. One of the first of the polit-
ical activities in which Miss Rankin
was ever enlisted was the fight for
the suffrage amendment in the Flor
ida Legislature four years ago.
Miss Rankin, at the solicitation of
Miss Frances Anderson, Dr.. Mary
Stafford, Mrs. Roselle C. Cooley, and
other ardent Florida suffragists, was
sent to Tallahassee by the National
American Woman's Suffrage Assoc
citation, to work for the passage of an
amendment to enfranchise the women
of Florida.
Miss Minnie Kehoe, now an ardent
member of the Pensacola Equal Suf-
frage League, was in Tallahassee at
the time, and spoke very Interesting
ly last night of this woman who
stands out today in the full glare of
publicity, and shows to the woriu that
woman may win votes for office as
easily as she wins courtesies at So
cial function-if she be the right
woman.
While working for the amendment
in Tallahassee, Miss Rankin met
with much opposition, for time has
moved very rapidly in the past four

DEMOCRATS
WOULD CHANGE
REVENUE BILL

Washington, Aug. S.-Complete re-
vision of the munitions tax section of
the house revenue bill and sweeping
increases in the inheritance tax were
ordered recommended to the Democra-
tic caucus by Democratic members Of
the senate finance committee.
The changes would increase the es-'
timated revenue from inheritances from
$54,000,000 to $72,O00,00 annually. Re-
tanning the house bill taxes of l per
cent on estates over $4,000 graduated
up to per cent on those in excess of
$450,000, the committee added sched-
ules Of per cent on net estates in
excess of $1,000,000; per cent on ST.
100000 to 100000, 8 per cent on So
100000 to $4,OOo,OOO precent on $4,-
100000 to $5,000,000 and 10 per cent on
estates in excess of $5,00O,000.
The committee struck out the vary
ing rates provided in the house bill
for munitions of war, powder, eXplo-
sives, shells, cartridges, projectiles,
products of copper and the like, and
decided to substitute the fiat uniform
tax on all Of these commodities. De-
termining that the tax should be made
a net profit tax on the manufacturer,
the committee also decided to add the
following: Steel bullets, ingots. blooms,
shell forgings, denatured alcohol and
cotton linters. In addition, chemicals
actually used in the manufacture Of
munitions would be taxed. The rate
was not determined.
Secretary McAdoo submitted statis-
tics to the committee showing that
upon all Of the commodities added to
the taxable munitions list, profits have
been abnormal since the beginning of
the European war.
In completing the income tax of two
per cent on all incomes in excess of
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively for mar
ried and single persons, adding the
special tax of one per cent on incomes
in excess of $4,000 and $4,000 respec-
lively for married and single persons;
retaining the surtaXes as proposed in
the house bill, with the exception of
an increase of from 10 to 13 per cent
on incomes in excess of $1,000,000. All
of the proposed changes are subject to
the approval OF the Democratic caucus.
