What Every Woman Wants to Know

(This column is conducted under the auspices of the press and publicity coun- cil of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association. Questions about politics and government will be welcomed. Answers VIII appear every Sunday in The Age Herald. Address all questions to Mrs. Roy M. sterne, 1895 Beech street)
 ENGLANDs CONSTITUTION.
 Q.-Has England written constitu- ton?
 A.-No. In the sense that we speak of our constitution, England has none at all Everything that Parliament enacts and the courts will enforce is technical iy part of the English constitution. But the English are great lovers of paradox, and no one is fonder of speaking of his constitutiona1r rights than the Eng lshman, who really has no constitution at all.
 Yet there are certain Fundamental doc uments which represent the basis of English freedom and government which could well be combined into a written constitution, of the character of those newer type. Written constitutions, by the way, are comparatively modern in- ventions, the first having been formu- lated in Connecticut in the eighteenth century.
 ENEMY WITHIN OUR GATES.
 The picketers again! It was hoped by the women of Alabama that having dig nifiedly but firmly disavowed all connec- tion with the women who are picketing the White House in such stupid and unpatriotic way, the suffragsts would be let alone to continue working for their just rights by proving that the vote needs them as much as they need the vote.
 The Birmingham Equal Suffrage asso- ciation is busy with war work. It's pres ident, Miss Worthington, and many of it's most active members are making tremendous effort to sell liberty bonds. The entire membership of the associa- tion Is teaching and learning food con- serva ton. And all are spending every spare moment knitting for the soldiers. the suffrage knitting unit being one of the most active in the city.

From the above II will he noticed
that the amount of money required for
proDet road maintenance in the city
OF Honolulu is practically twice the
amount available at the present time.
The increases required. for proper
maintenance IL the country districts
will run in about the same ratio.
To provide a fund large enough to
meet this situation after allowing for
the present contributions from tile
read tax and general funds, il will be
necessary to provide the sum of $780,
10000 by Increased taxes, which.
based on san assessed valuation of
$1En.000. 10000 amounts to an Increase
in the tax rate for road maintenance
purposes of 0.0016. This. combined
with the Increase of 0.0O1T5 for perm
