WOMEN OF CANADA
NOT FOR SUFFRAGE
Do Not Favor Borden Measure Now
in Parliament.
Srecial 70 Tie Washington HcTald.

SIeciat 10 Tie Washington Herald.
Ottawa. Sept. S.--CanadiRn women
do not take kindly to the enfranchise-
ment act offered them by Premier
Borden. Its passage is n foregone con-
clusion, but its enactment may bring
more trouble than benefit to the gov
crnment
The bill would give the vote to all
women of 81 or over who have broth
crs, fathers, husbands or sons in Rc-
tive service. II also enfranChises all
" omen OF voting age who are British
born. The Liberal opposition has de-
cided to press its demands for a bill
extending the franchise 10 all women.
There are 10000 men, who will be
serving the ColoTs soon under the con-
scription act whose women relatives
would not beneht by the bill because
they will be in Canada when the next
election Is held and not overseas.
The Liberals take the position that
thousands OF women who are enga ged
in war work. but who have no rela-
tives under arms. are entitled to suf-
fTage.
The Borden bill would enfranchiSe
about $4,000 and was introduced as 4
war measure.

,JITNEY ROUTED
BY new Order
Utilities Commission Bans
Use in Many Busy Sec
tions of Capital.

; with the enforcement OF the new
APublic Utilities ordinance restricting
sSths routes OF '.jitneys' and compell-
, ing them TO collect but a single
; straight s cent fare. operators and
patrons Of the buses fOresee the be-
ginning OF the end Of the competi-
tors OF the trolley cars.
? Within a few short months, II is
predicted. when the present jltney
licenses have expired, the Washing
ton family OF the species OF homo
jitnibus" that sprung up will disap-
pear from the streets of the Nations
Capital forever.
One Use of Auto May Go.
All authorities on the subject
agree in placing the blame for this
treatment extinction OF a thriving
use OF the automobile on the clause
in the commissions order that re-
stricts the zone OF operation OF the
2 jitney. and not TO the clause exact
81 ing a straight scent fare. The OBJ
jeetionable clause reads:
No jitney will be allowed to Oper-
ate between Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania avenues on Fourteenth
street: between New York and
GsnnsNlNdnld avenues on llleeull
street; between Thirteenth and Fiji
teenth street on New York avenue
between Seventh and Fifteenth street
on both F and G streets, and be-
tween Massachusetts, and Pennsyl-
vania avenues on Ninth street
northwest, owing to congestion OF
traffic.
Greatest Revenue Service.
: This means the exclusion of the
= jitneys from two of their greatest
sources of profits. the terminus OF
= and G streets and New York
avenue at the Treasury Department
Building. and Ninth street between
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
avenues.
> Only one reason is given by the
Utilities body for the action in
passing the new order. That Is
l"eonEestion OF traffic.
; Whether an appeal will be made
over the new ruling was not re-
,vealed yesterday. 1t is probable
that a meeting OF the operators Of
-the jitneys will be held within the
next few days to protest against
Sthe action OF the Utilities Commits
-sion and to make a last stand"
against the virtual destruction OF
their business.

REVENUE BILL
NEARING Vote
Two Amendments Yet to
Dispose of Before Final
Ballot Begins.

Although two important matters are
yet to be considered before the Sem
ate votes finally upon the war reve-
nue. bill, that body yesterday post
poned decision upon these matters
until tomorrow, the same day the
whole bill must be disposed Of.
First OF these sections is the con
sumption taxes" which imposes 2
cents per pound upon coffee, cents
upon tea. X cent upon sugar, and 3
cents upon cocoa. The Senate began
to talk about these yesterday, but
did not proceed far. The taxes are
expected to raise about Sse,OOO,0OO rev.
enue.
The other section is that dealing
with increases upon postal rates. The
Senate has already killed a provision
placing an extra l-cent stamp upon
letters and realizing 100000 reve-
nue.. Likewise the provision charging
magazines aud newspapers a quarter
cent extra per pound (S3, 10000 reve-
nue) and taxing publishers per cent
upon profits above 5000 (S7-tO900
revenue) has been eliminated. In
lieu OF all these postal taxes, the
Senate has adopted a zone" sys-
TEN. fathered by McKellar, OF Ten
nessee, and raising $l2,6oO,ooO revenue.
May strike Consumption Tax.
II was predicted yesterday that all
the consumption taxes and all the
new postal rates. including the Nc
Kellar amendment, would be struck
from the bill Monday.
Debate yesterday was tame and un-
interesting.
Senators Curtis. of Kansas. and
Ransdell, of Louisiana. spoke against
the consumption taxes yesterday.
Curtis advised taxing luXuries ito the
limit" and substituting this from the
consumption tax revenue. He also ad-
vocated inheritance taxes. Owen, OF
Oklahoma. did introduce an amend
ment taxing inheritances. His scale
began on inheritances above 5000
taxed those OF 100000 5 per cent. and

Coal Field Withdrawn.

Being bitterly opposed 10 the
principles involved in the leasing
system have been able in the past
to prevent the passage of any SINH
lar bill. They have bitterly de-
nounced what they believed to be
the arbitrary, harsh and illegal op-
preston of mining prospectors on
the public domain. However. by
reason OF the emergency they have
consented to omp rom / $ . their
views in this bill. In view OF these
and of the small area
of the naval oil lands. it is urged
that the bill be passed as reported" ."
Lands containing coal, phosphate.
gas and potassium are also dealt
with in the bill The committee SAYS
that while opening the oil lands will
help the coal situation. that the
shortage in oil is even more seri-
Gus than the lack of coal.
Forty-four million acres of coal
lands are now withdrawn by the
government and are not used. They
lie principally in Colorado. Wyo-
ming. Idaho. Oklahoma and Kansas.
The bill allows leases Of not more
than 1850 acres to any corporation

j. 5. TO EMPLOY
MORE OILLAND.
Lack of Coal Urges Sena-
tors to Reserve Cali
fornia Fields.

Almost unanimously the Public
Lands Committee of the Senate has
voted to allow leasing of the Cali
fornia oil lands, including Naval Re-
service No. 2 Senator Husting, of
wisconsin. alone stood out against
a favorable report.
The bill, which was reported yes
terday to the Senate, allows men who
had bona fide applications. prior to
the withdrawal Of the lands in 1910,
as well as those who had producing
wells. to have the leases.
Some 1000 acres out OF $1,000 are
involved. The committees bill does
not sanction leasing upon Naval Re-
serve No. l, which contains 8,coI
acres, nor Reserve No. 3, which con-
tains 5000 acres.
To Preserve OIL.
The report is a long step in the con-
troversy which has been going on
between the navy and those holding
leases. In the report, Secretary
Daniels is taken to task for making
a protest he knew was violating the
expressed intent of Congress in MAX
ing that the Naval Reserves be eX-
cluded from the bill.
The only legitimate and plausible
argument possessed by the Navy De-
partment, says the report. is the de-
sire TO preserve oil in the ground
for the future. This would be a laud-
able desire If it were possible and
II the present use were not more
valuable to the government.
The fact that the coal situation
is desperate" is given as the rea-
son for compromise by certain SEN
ators who stood out for some time
against the plan. Some OF these,

Half Your Living
 Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will make or break most farmers in tho South. We are all facing crisis. This war in Europe puts things in such uncertainty that no man can foresee the future with any degree cf clearness.
 The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost of all food end grain products is high, so high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton.
 It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.
 A good piece of garden ground. rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew!
