Douglas Fir.

The nroviuce of British Columbia has
presented TO the Kew Botanic GARDEN
giant flagstaff of Douglas tir, to replace
the old l49-foot staff, which lasted fifty
wears The new pole is 2l5 feet long
and weighs IS tons. 1t was shaped ana
creosoted in Vancouver, conveyed oy
steamer 10 London, and floated up inc
Thames 10 Kew. Poles OF Douglas ilr
are highly valued for ships masts and
faqstaffs because OF their straightness,
durability strength and residence. Inc
timber is also largely used for telegraph
and electric railway poles and bridge and
trpstle timbers. The Forest Service re-
CARDS Douglas fir as perhaps the most I'M
portant of American woods. Estimates
of the available supply range from 3Oo'-
ono 600 600 10 $4,000, 900 900 feet, board
measure. The tree is most abundant, and
attains lis largest size not far from sea

with hardly any percepiible taper up 10
that height. Douglas fir usually grows
rapidly. In California there are trees
only ten years old that have trunks atoot
in diameter. 1t produces many cones
and the seeds germinate freely. Accord
ing to Sargent, the seedlings spring up as
grass where the forest has been cleared
by fire. In the struggle for existence the
weakest are crowded out, until finally
there arises crowd Of pole-like stems
destitute of any branches and foliage ex-
cept at the top. Germany has planted
large experimental forests OF Douglas fir,
which. the experts say, is likely TO rival
and eventually to replace the larch IN
Europe as timber tree.

NO POLL TAX IF
WOMEN GET VOTE
Fake argument" of Ants Re-
futed by Constitution OF
West Virginia
TAXES LOWER NOT HIGHER
Governors of Suffrage States
Nail Campaign Canard

The Anti-Suffrage organization ls
now proceeding on the theory that the
most sensitive nerve in mans make
I'D is In his pocketbook. In thousands
of documents which they are sending
TO the farmers of this state they are
asserting that the taxes OF the men
will be largely increased II the SUI
frage amendment Is carried and the
vote is given to women. They espe-
cially assert that in this event poll
tax must be levied against women as IL
now is assessed against men. They
even claim that women could not vote
unless they have paid this poll tax.
There is absolutely no truth in these
assertions. The poll, or state capita
ton tax, in West Virginia is provided
for in the constitution, and by the
terms of that instrument it is to be as
sessed and collected from males only
But even the payment of this tax by the
men is not a condition Of their rlgnt
TO vote. This tax has nothing what
ever TO do with the franchise. 1t Is
levied on men only and it is collected
from foreigners as well as citizens.
This Is an unpopular tax and instead
of amending the constitution to make
women pay it the amendment would
doubtless remove 1t from the men
also.
Another scare tale told by these
false documents has TO do with the al
legged increased cost Of holding cleo
lions. Here Is what the governors and
secretaries Of state of several equal
suffrage commemorative have to say
on this point:
WYOMING: "Woman suffrage has
not increased taxes in this state nor
cost Of elections"
CALIFORNIA: Increased cost OF
election expense because of woman
voters is very little"
KANSAS: Increased cost of cleo
tions Insignificant
IDAHO: Added election expense
infinitesimal."
ARIZONA: Increased cost Of eleq
ton through women voting not worth
considering"
In this connection it must be re-
membered that women have paid their
full pro rata share OF the taxation for
election expenses and that they have
been doing so for more than century
while being deprived by law from cast
ing a vote.
The state taxes in the equal suf-
frage states are much less than In
those states where manhood suffrage
alone prevails. The average tax rate
per thousand dollars in the equal SUI
frage states is $3.50 The average
rate on the same amount in the man
hood suffrage states is sos, an in
crease of $3.17 per $1,000. Since
women have been voting in California
the odious poll tax has been removed
from the men.
The men of West Virginia will not
be influenced by such false statements
as the Ants are making. 1t requires
but little thought on the part OF the
average man to realize that the true
economists of most families are the
wives and mothers. They are the ones
who scrutinize the expenditure OF
every dollar and insist on getting full
value Instead Of their increasing the
taxes it is safe to conclude that when
they vote in this state the taxes will
be lower instead Of higher.
