the hope of becoming farm owners
The &c A1omic condition of many farm

What we need, and need badly, is
prog1 m of taxation which, without
throwing additional burdens on the
bona fide farmer, will place land now

proposal has been introduced in
congress by Senator Kenyon to direct
an investigation by the federal tariff
commission or some other competent
body into additional sources of reve-
nue., including the possibility of levy
ing surtax on idle land and other
natural resources held out of use.
doubt exists as to the possibility
under the constitution of a federal
surtax on idle land. There is sharp
difference of opinion as to whether or
not such a tax could be levied. The
situation should be clarified by an in

SQUAW DAYS over?
NOT IN BOSTON!

BOSTON, June 21.-The days Of
suuawdom, when women We're treated
as beasts Of burde passed. Will
street car presidents permit their
daughters and sisters to serve as
motormen and conductors?
The above sentiments are contained
in sizzling resolutions adopted by the
Boston Street Car Mems union in OPP
position to the proposed employment
of women on street cars.
"Rbis is not the first time," the
unionists declare, that organized
labor has been called upon to pro-
tect the weak and defenseless, even to
protect women against themselves
that their labor may not be exploited
hy the captains of industry who
under the guise of patriotism, hide
their real motives and purposes.
which seek to deny to those at pres
ert engaged in this occupation any
serious collective effort to petition for
a little more, in wages, of the huge
profits Of the business, that will en-
able them to maintain the American
standard Of living, and better meet
the alarming increased cost to sustain
such standards.
This type of patriotism is the kind
for the overthrow Of which our ma
ton is today taking up arms; and the
Placing of women on street cars as
motormen and conductors will never
vim a battle. for there are men
machinery of civilization moving and
conduct all necessary warfare. with
out forcing our women into objec-
t:onable employment.
1--WE ask our member ship under
what conditions or circumstances
would they permit their daughters or
sisters to become street railway mo-
tormen and conductors?
will the street railway presidents
and officials permit their daughters
and sisters to accept employment as
motormen and conductors? Ger
tainly these men have no less re-
gard for the high ideals of woman
hcod than the wage earner.) Any
man of experience in this occupation
Can answer these questions because
he knows there is no place for women
on the cars of any street railway sys.

LET those who Ill Sc such a propa-
ganda turn their efforts toward more
serious things-real things-big
things, which will far more assist the
cause of the American people in the
trying days to come than that Of de-
grading American womanhood.
"Squawdom and women as beasts
of burden are shadow-from out of
a dim and distant past. Let not this
shadow again take form into a. real
substance in this era of progressive
ness and enlightenment.
