STATE CAPITOL WEEKLY
POLITICAL News Letter
Much Interest Shown in War Tax
Bill. I. w. w. Secretary in St.
Louis County Wort<house.

Merchants and farmers throughout
the northwest are watching with in
terest the progress of the war tax
bill now pending in the United States
senate. Minnesota is particularly in
terested whether or not the senators
adhere to their plaa no: to place du-
ties upon those articles now on the
free list, which include leather and
hides, fish, wheat, lumber &nd other
products. That the Minnesota con-
tingent will stick is expected. The
bill as it came from the house con-
tanned provisions for a horizontal
raise of 10 per cent on all duties in
the existing tariff bill and ten per
cent duty on many of the articles
now on the free list. The senate
committee struck the latter increase
from the bill but it is yet to be acted
upon by the senate as a whole, with
of course house concurrence. With
the food situation in the northwest,
and the whole United States for that
matter serious, consumers would be
heavily hit by an increase and espec-
tally by duty, say on fish and other
articles now imported from Canada
free of duty. The same applies to
leather hides and lumber. It is un-
derstood that the Minnesota men,
horc -, tho lovuor ho,,co own MT ~ .,ll
anxious to see the duty placed on
the free list articles, though they
voted for the original bill just as did
many others, with their eyes shut.
Word has come that the Minnesota
members and others from the north
west are satisfied with the proposals
in the senate to raise the revenue
needed for war purposes in other
ways. Lumber is now selling for
higher prices in Canada than in the
United States. Placing a duty on it
will simply increase the cost to the
| farmers of the northwest who will
be building granaries, and to the
government in the erection of the big
environments where the great armies
of soldiers are to be trained.

his excellency, the governor, is shown

governor contends that the present
system of school aid is wrong and he
proposes to show to the next legis.

better than $1,0O0,000 state school
aid was justified. His excellency has
obtained from the state legal depart.

the regular school fund which he

Woman COmpels
Flirting Guardsmen
To Make Apology

BALTIMORE, July Gone lone
woman in a pink swiss gown and
q big black hat wiped out
about twenty Maryland National
Guardsmen in one short, sharp
battle last Saturday, fguratively
speaking. Speaking literally. she
made them line up before her and
apologize. one at a time.
She is Mrs. William Kelso
White, and she was on her way to
a dinner party, gowned attractive
ly in summary pink things. She
had just alighted from a car and
the guardsmen were lolling
around on the grass parking.
They waxed fiirtatious.
Hello, Susie" called one, and
another said Hello, Bessiem and
a third greeted Mrs. White as
Mamie" Mrs. White ignored all
these pleasant salutations until
one of the men became more ex-
plicit and volunteered, "Oh,
there's our sweetie in pink" Then
Mrs. White acted. She went
straight up to the group and said:
How dare you speak to q lady
in that manner? You will apollo
gize to me at once-each one OF
you separately. II not, you will
regret this inside of twenty
minutes"
They did.

RUSSIAN WOMEN
SOLDIERS LOATH
TO GIVE Up HAIR
By WILLIAM C. SHEPHERD.

PETROGRAD. July 6.-Russian
women who took the stern oath to do
or die when they Joined the Legion
Of Death" had hard time making up
their minds to cut their hair short
man fashion. And Petrograd agreed
today that 1t was this cropped head
program that made the woman EN-
barrassed as they paraded yesterday,
the first time in history probably.
that an active fighting force of wom-
en-, trained and ready for the front
was formally received into the ranks
Of nations warriors. The public
agreed the feminine fighters were
more> embarrassed by their loss OF
hair than the trousers they wore.
The Legion Of Death" is composed
of 400 university students and So
ciety girls. They wear a uniform ex-
actly like the male Russian soldier.
They paraded through the Nevski
Prospekt en- route to receive a Uless-
ing at the Church OF ST. Isaacs, armed
with rifles and carrying a reEimental
standard. A dozen bands heralded
their progress. and 5000 CossackE
formed an escort of honor.
Some of the girl warriors were
smiling, defiant Of the trousers and
bobbed hair; others were plainly
striving earnestly to overcome that
embarrassment. The whole legion
resembled a boys parade in the sIza
and appearance OF its personnel, but
they stepped forward with a ginger
and snap of trained. mature troops.
When the legion was first organ
lied and pledge was taken to die
hghttng, If necessary, 1t was voted -
adopt the masculine haircut. A few
of the feminine soldiers demurred
But they quickly submitted to tho
BARRIERS scissors when the others de-
risively dubbed them "boushevikis'-
the Russian equivalent for pacifsts."

FOLK WIN OUT
Public Utilities Committee of
Council Recommends Exten-
sion of Grand Belt

The council chamber was jammed
Tuesday night with representatives
OF various societies in the western
and northwestern part OF the city,
who were present to discuss with
the committee on public utilities
street railway facilities for their
section The committee met imme-
diately after the regular session OF
the council and decided to report
TO the council in favor OF insisting
upon the Detroit United railway ex-
tending the Grand Belt line accord
ing TO it's agreement entered into
nearly four years ago.
f. ]. Burdck. assistant general
manager OF the -. L. r.. said the
railway stood ready TO extend the
line according to the original plans
II the council wanted II done. but
he believed that changing condi-
tons had made north and south
lines penetrating the same territory
more desirable from every point OF
view His opinion was Endorsed by
great crowd Of northwestern resi-
dents. who came wearing badges
and headed by several orators. Dur
ing the speeches there was great ap-
plausc which broke out every few
moments despite the efforts OF Aid.
Vernon. chairman OF the committee,

Many members Of the West War
rem Residents association also were
present with their spellbinders who
argued that the territory which the
extended Grand Belt line would
serve had built up largely thru the
promise OF the d. u. r. 20 extend
the line. James Kearney made the
chief speech in favor OF carrying out
the original plan.
After the public session the com.
mittee went into executive session
and decided TO submit its report
favoring the extension OF the Grand
Belt. When similar report was
sent To the council two weeks ago
Il was referred back to the commit.
tee AZ the suggestion OF the D. u. r.
Aid. Vernon resigned from the com.
mittee on that occasion. but was
induced TO remain.
There was little OF interest IN the
regular council meeting Aid Little
field sponsored an ordinance pro-
viding for the licensing OF straw hat
cleaners. which gave many mem
bers OF the body chance 10 make
humorous speeches for the edinca-
ton OF the large number Of citizens
who came 10 take part in the street
railway fight. but no definite action
was taken.
