WATCH FOR THE CHANCE

Bingham county has a problem
coming up that ought to be watched
closely. 1t is the condition of the
roads from now till winter The
roads have commenced to break up
and as soon as the heavy hauling or
crops begins they will simply go to
pieces unless repairs are made.
We usually have heavy rain In
August, and If we get enough rain
to make road dragging success,
everybody that can, should get out
and drag roads and tamp mud into
the holes. While some are dragging,
other might get out tamping. 1t
would be a great public service be-
cause OF the saving of power ana
vehicles in moving the crops.
When such rain comes, why not
get busy on the phone with all the
neighbors and everybody get out to
help win the war by road making.

PEN1TENT WOMAN APOLOGIES

We have a letter from Martha

The two women had a clash re-
GENTLY. there was a case in court, and
Mrs. Box paid a fine for an assault
she made in defending her gooo
name. The letter indicates that MRS.
Thompson wishes to take the blame
and exonerate Mrs. Box, and The Re

solute forgiveness because she had
the moral courage to ask for 1t.

is George Walsh, who is the hero in

Equal CD Suffrage.

randolph Herald and News.l
At last women have equal suffrage
with men in town affairs.-Manehester
journal.
Is that so! Let : see. To be a voter
in town meeting, a male between the
aces of twentv-one and seventy years
must have been listed in the town the
preceding year and paid his taxes. The
very least assessed against male tax
payer is his poll, equivalent to 5000.
The poll tax in Vermont varies among
the towns according to their several
local tax rates, but averages about four
dollars at present. TO vote in town
meeting, therefore. the male, however
poor or even destitute must have paid
approximately four dollars.
Under the new law extending suffrage
to women in town meeting there is no
such taxable polls or a poll tax for
them. To vote il is only necessary that
they be listed for any amount however
small, and TO have paid the tax, how
ever infnitesimal. We are seeing so
called - Equal Suffrage Leagues max
ing public appeals to women to return
a dollar or five dollars of taxable prop
ertv, thus gaining list. - The plea is
made that the tax would only be about
two cents on dollar thus returned,
and for this tax women gain the right,
under the new statute, to vote along
side Of,men who are compelled to pay
minimum tax of several dollars.
This may he ''equal suffrage, but
we can see it. Though the ladies are
not directly responsible for this act
they are responsible for their action
under it. If, as they have SO often
claimed, all they want is the same
chance with the ballot as men, let them
return Il minimum of 5000 of taxable
/ property-most of them could do this
without straining the truth-and pay
an equal tax with the man who has only
! a poll before they step up to the box.
| a tax of two or five cents is worse
! than no tax at all from a revenue stand
point 1t would cost the towns many
times the tax TO 90 through the formal
tiles of listing, enrolling, collecting, etc
| If largely followed, it will be parfec
nuisance. Instead of iDquiring "Wha
is the least we can pay and vote?' a
some are doing, let the Sutfragists SHOW
a sense of becoming dignity and. 70
equar rights with men at the polls, pa
an equal tax.
