SUFFRAGE SENTINELS
WILL BE REINFORCED
Recruits from New Organizations to
Join White House Guard.

During the next three weeks the silent
suffrage picket line at the White House
gates will go through series of kaleido-
scope changes. Seventeen different organ
izations, from sweatshop workers TO
doctors and artists, will furnish a quota
of woman to serve as sentinels on days
set aside for this purpose, 1t was an
uounced last night.
Five of these days have been set apart
as special State days. Belief was ex-
pressed that the serial picket program
will have pronounced effect and possibly
result in gaining the Presidents support.
The only incident to mar yesterdays work
on the picket line was the ice-fringed
gale that swept up Pennsylvania avenue
during the late afternoon hours Some u
the banner-bearers were unable to hold on
their flags and two STATS were broken.
Commander-in-Chief Paul of the picket
brigade sounded a hurry call for extra
banner-bearers and they came through
the park on the double-quick.

OF COTTON EXCHANGE
A Congressional Investigation May Re.
suit from Complaints from Dealers.

A Congressional investigation of the
Cotton Exchange, of New York, was pro-
posed at a conference of Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives yesterday fol-
lowing complaints from merchants, far
mers, bankers and business organizations
throughout the South.
Complainants declared that the Cotton
Exchange Is selling and buying contracts
below what actual cotton can be bought
for in the spot markets OF the South, and
that the effect is to demoralize the en-
tire trade and make legitimate hedging
impossible. The result, the complainants
say, Is disastrous to legitimate trading
with exchanges and to export and do
mestic cotton business as well.
Senator Smith. of South Carolina; Sem
ator Smith, of Georgia, and members Of
the Georgia, South Carolina and Ala
oama Congressional delegations have
taken up the complaints and will formu-
late a plan of action within several DAYS

RAILROAD VALUATION
IS CENTER OF DEBATE

That considerable opposition to the
methods adopted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission for valuing American
railroads is to arise in the next few
months is indicated by the sharpness of
the protests being filed by railroad and
State regulatory interests against the
valuations already made. The railroads
are obJecung to the action Of the inter
state body in leaving out Of account
numerous tangible and intangible ele-
ments of value, while the State regulatory
bodies say that the commission is plao-
ing too high values on the property Of the
railroads.
The commission yesterday received pro-
tests from the Kansas Public Utilities
Commission and from the Kansas City
Southern Railway. both protesting against
the value placed by the commission on
the property OF that railroad.

EFFORTS TO PREVENT WAR
TO FINANCING IT.
PROPOSE An INCOME Tx
They Mould Place the burden ~ FL
nancing the War on Persons
X With Incomes Of Over $4,000
'~ss Year.

NEW YORK. March 31The
strong pacifist influence In America
today suddenly turned from efforts
to prevent war to measures OF fInan-
cling it,
simultaneously 1t became known
that the plan put forward by the
American committee OF finance,
headed by Amos Pinchot. to place
the entire financial burden OF the
war on persons with Incomes Of
more than $1,000 year, has been
endorsed by high government circles.
The greatest Significance Is placed
on the sudden action Of the leading
pacifists, because of the belief that
they are iii eiase communication with
Washington leade, While they
Insisted that they .still hoped or
| peace their action indicates that
lthe hope is practically dead.
The committee. In its announces
ment today. pointed to the heavy toll
OF the war that will be or the
working people OF the country be-
cause OF their greater number. With
this In view It called for signatures
| to a pledge to demand legislation
along this line. The war income tax
proposed calls for incomes of over
$4,000 year. The pledge calls for
a tax OF IL per cent on all in
comes from $4,000 to $4,000
year. On all incomes over $4,000
| a sliding scale beginning at 10 per
cent and rising to point permitting
no individual retaining moro than
net income of more than 100000
per year was proposed.
| The pledge further calls for legis-
lation limiting profits on all war
supplies to 3 1-2 per cent and pro-
vides that wholesale or retail deal
ers shall sell foodstuff or other me-
cessities at profit not greater than
per cent during the war.
I'VE do not believe that any real
patriot will want the poor people Of
the nation to bear the burden of the
cost of the war in addition to the
burden of fighting. said Amos
| Pinchot today.
Our committee is not made up OF
peace at any price people and no one
is connected with the movement who
has any German sympathies. Our
proposal Is simply predicated on the
| Nations experience in past wars and
is based on the belief that in the
event OF war there should be genu-
inc patriotism between the working
people who give their lives and the
wealthy who viii be called upon to
give their dollars. The proposal
may even furnish more money than
is needed to finance the war.
