BRITAIN NOT TO UNDERTAKE
 REGISTRATION REFORMS
Too Complex a Problem In the Midst
 of a Great War.

London. Aug. 14, D. m.-The de- cision of cabinet that the undertaking of new franchise and registration re- forms in the midst of a great war was too complex and controversial a problem was announced by Premier AsQuith in the house of commons to- day.
 At a time, said the premier, when the war had reached a happy, promis- ing stage and when it more than ever required the absolute concentration of the government, it was impossible to consider the questions involved in a revision of the franchise. He further implied that any new bill for franchise reforms in the future must, of neCes- sity include women.
 After a brief criticism of Sir Ed
 COmbatant, irrespective of age. was
 ward Carson, who urged that every entitled to vote, and cOntended there was no reason why the women's claims should stand in the way of giving all combatants a vote, tho house passed the first reading of the bill extending the life of the present parliament. 4 separate bill, bringine of present qualifications, on May 31 next, will be introduced in the house tomorrow.
 There is no doubt that one of the main reasons for the government avoidance of the franchise problem was the threat of the women that they would refuse to recognize any change in the franchise in favor of fighting men which failed at the same time tC l recognize WOmen's rights to the fran chise

AT OPEN AIR MEETING
Stands for Protective Tariff, For a Budget System, the Elimination of the Pork Barrel, and the End of Waste and Extravagance

Cour d Aline. Idaho. Aug. IA Charles E. Hughes, replying today to criticisms that he was not construc- tive in his policies, declared at an open air meeting here that he stood for a protective tariff, for a budget system, the elimination of the pork barrel, the end of waste and eXtrava- gance and the appointment to public service of men qualified for office.
 ''Is that not Constructive?" MT. Hughes asked. q believe that they are the fundamentals of constructive pol icies which this nation is facing to- day"
 War Cannot Sustain Prosperity.
 MT. Hughes discussed the democra- tic slogan of prosperity.
 'fVe cannot afford in this country" {" he said. ito assume that our prosper ity will take care of itself who is so foolish as to believe and to be decided by a prosperity maintained by the European war? Our opponents as- sune to ascribe to themselves the ben efits that have accrued from that great contest. Their statements will not stand the test of careful analysis. For example they point to the trade Tn munitions of war and say that that is but slight comparison with the other industries of the country. The manu- facture and sale and munitions have connected with 1t considerable deveI- opment of prosperity as a part of the sale and mere manufacture of muni- tiOns itself.
