VOTES LoR WOMEN!
Anti.suffrage Arguments ?

1.-The women are not busy enough al
home, due to modern improvements. J." As
a fact, the suffragists are largely women
who do their own house work, are bring
| children. and are not over-burdened
with modern improvements, and unmar-
ried women.
There can't be two masters in one
house" Why should there even be one
master? A man and woman marry for
cOmpanionship. The right kind Of a man
doesn't wish for slave, but for a help
mate.
Men know by generations Of expert
ence just how to make laws. II would
take long time to train women" After
all. 1t takes very few brains to make
laws. 1t is the enforcing Of the laws
that counts. Women with the ballot
have contributed more to law enforce
ment than any other one factor, says
the Ant-Saloon Year Book.
Eleven States only have Woman
Suffrage. Record far from enviable. The
best answer to that argument is TO take
the word Of the inhabitants of those
states. Upon investigation you will find
people visiting here, or who have lived
in suffrage states. Ask them.

In Regard to the School Tax system.

In Regard to the School Tax System.
The school tax system here in Della
ware is think, very unfair to the live
stock owners.
l think the best way to make myself
plain is to compare the tax system here
with that Of our sister state, Pennsyl-
vania
In Pennsylvania one assessor takes the
assessment of all property, personal and
real, also money that is put out on in
terest. All horses and cattle under four
years old are exempt from taxation, also
all sheep and hogs.
The tax thus raised is placed into one
fund and distributed to the various uses,
as county, state, school, poor and road
tax.
II I understand it right, here in Della
ware, the live stock man pays more than
a fair share of tax. For illustration:
A owns a fruit farm valued at 100000;
3 owns tract of timber valued at $10.-
900; owns live stock valued at 100000;
d has money out on interest and mort
gage totaling 100000 A pays school tax
on the rental value, say $500. The tax
rate in this district is S1.O5 per hundred;
AS tax is 49, Is. pays no school tax.
c pays school tax on live stock, Sis. d
pays no school tax.
Where is there any fairness or justice
in a school tax system like the above?
Fellow citizens if you want to see the
State Of Delaware advance to the front
give us tax system that will give the
live stock raiser chance similar to that
III ShhSy wanna Anu nave al property
pay its fair share Of tax, and also money
out on interest, etc.
The assessment could be taken under
one assessment and save time and ex-
pense.
The live stock business could be gone
into more thoroughly under a fair tax sys
tenn, and would be great advancement
for the betterment Of conditions in Del
aware.
Fellow Live Stock Men, it is up to US
to make our wants known and support
a bill that will be fair to all citizens.

Differs win Secretary Of AqrleuItu

! Differs With Secretary of Agriculture.
The Secretary Of Agriculture thinks
the farmers have the all wise cure to
the high cost of living. / am afraid he
has the wrong slant TO that question
just as long as moneyed interests are
allowed to gamble on the stock markets
fe IN tne pIo1ucts that are raised on the
farms the high cost Of living will con-
tinue. The farmer does not make the
high prices that the consumers pay.
There will have TO be a different plan
OF distribution OF farm products
Here are a few Illustrations:
When Patton had the corner on wheat
number of years ago, the farmer was
not the one that got the bulk OF the
money and caused suicide and hunger in
the cities. Three years ago 1 could not
hnd market for cabbage, while il was
bringing good retail prices in Philadel-
phta. The result was that l turned und-
er 10000 heads of cabbage. And two
years ago the results were about the
same. Cabbage was retailing for about
twelve to eighteen cents per head in the
New YORK market and the commission
men said il would not pay the freight to
ship l plowed under 10000 heads Of
as nice cabbage as have ever seen.
Several years ago tomatoes were SELL
ing at from to 10 cents per SIS basket
on eur local market. The same day to-
matoes were retailing 3 for 10 cents in
Harrisburg, Pa.
Keifer pears sold here for 10 cents per
5-S basket. A month later they were re-
failing for cents each for the incest
pears and others We're for 10 cents in
Harrisburg.
The Illustrations show that under the !
present system Of distribution the farm !
er does not control the prices the con- /
sumer pays. Often he raises produce at |
a loss. II the farmer received a fair |
share Of what the consumer pays there |
would be a little profit.
As long as stock exchange gambling |
IS tolerated in farm products and an un- |
fair system Of distribution, the consumer
Is going to pay more than a fair price
and the farmer is going to receive less
than fair profit for farm produce.
There is no legitimate comparison be-
tween the manufacturer and the farmer |
The manufacturer knows exactly what
his capacity is to manufacture a certain !
article, and knows exactly at what price
ne can sell that article and what the
article costs him.
on the other hand, the farmer does not
know whether he will get a paying price
or his crops he does not know what a
,rop will produce He cannot go and
borrow money on his uncertain crops like
he manufacturer can on a manufact-
ired product. The control Of the farm
n over his crops is very uncertain; he
las to contend with weather conditions
md disease. II the farmer had the
anne assurance of the manufacturer,
hat he would get a paying price for all
he crops he could raise. then he could
afely borrow money to increase crop
production. A FARMER.

TACOMA MAY BE THE
TRAINING PLACE FOR
n. D. GUARDSMEN

Bismarck, N. D.. June 2l.-North
Dakota National Guards may train at
Lake. near Tacoma, Wash,
according to a report received in this
city by guard officials.
Orders were received stating that
the North Dakota guardsmen would
be attached to the twentieth division.
which included Washington. Oregon.
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This
division will train at American Lake,
1t is believed.
Several weeks ago. however. orders
were received that the North Dakota
troops would train in the southern d.
vision and would probably be station
ed at Deming. New Mexico.
There is a possibility. it is admit
ted, that a second regiment will be
raised in the state, and that If it is.
one regiment will go to Deming and
the other to American Lake. The
guard officials are making efforts to
hold the regiments together in case a
second regiment is formed.
The first regiment of the North Da-
kota Guards will be called into serv-
ice July Is.

possibility of the latter serving as

adjutant general at the same time. A
Cass county commissioner Is quoted as
hold that 1t cannot. Should Fraser
find it impossible for him to retain
both Offices. 1t will be a question as to
which one he will relinquish. So lar
as financial gains are concerned, the
Cass county berth is much more at

That Adjutant General Tharalson Is

general opinion about the capitol. but

AGAINST
REGENTS CLOSES

Bismarck, N. D.. June 21-The last
act in Gov. Frazier's fight on the board
Of regents came yesterday with an
order Of the supreme court denying
the attorney generals petition for a
r~e-heartng of the custer proceedings.
Holding that under the initiative
and referendum act the appointments
Of the present members of the board
two years g by Governor Hanna
and the confirmation by the senate
we're illegal, inasmuch a. the same
were made in March while the act
did not take effect till July, Governor
Frazier early in the last session mes
saged to the senate the of five
appointees instead Of two, as was ex-
pected to fill the vacancies occurring
July 1.
The senate rejected all nominations
three times during the session, adj
journing without confirming any. The
governor then declared the Offices va
cant, and instituted buster proceed
ings to seat the I'VE appointees, to
whom he supplied commissions. The
supreme court found in favor Of the
old board several weeks ago, and de-
clined today to reopen the case.
The old board in retaliation may
now resist the efforts Of the governor
to seat the successors Of the two
members whose terms expire July l.,
or the ground that the successors
were MOI legally nominated and on
irmed by the senate.
