Some Fundamental Reasons
For Woman Suffrage,

They believe in democracy because
they believe that the law should be
the composite picture of the desires
of the entire community, not of a
proportion of the community, be that
portion large or small.
To found, as they have, the entire
government on that theory, and then
to deny one-half of the community the
right to vote. is a paradox without
the slightest practical present justi-
hcation.
For a people who have reached the
plane of development which the peo-
pie of the United States have attain
ed, universal suffrage, and a large
measure of direct control over public
affairs on the part of the electorate,
will not only produce better results
than any other form of government,
but are essential to continued pro-
gress towards better material condi-
tons and higher conceptions of social
Justice
Women should be allowed to vote
because the responsibility incident to
the rights of franchise is essential to
their own proper development.
There is no greater educational
force than that resulting from plac-
ing people in position which will
cause them to think on public ques-
tons
The right of franchise would bring
to women. consciously or unconscious
~. first an interest in public affairs,
then a growing sense of public duty.
If the public does not believe this,
they doubt the power of the race to
rise to its obligations, and, further
more, in doubling, they disregard the
lessons of past experience.

Declares Policy for the Future.

Chairman Zouck, OF the state
Roads Commission, said yesterday
that the future policy of the commits
sion would be to abandon maeadam
roads and to construct only concrete
roads. This conclusion has been
reached after long experiments and
comparisons in costs between the
two kinds Of roads While the ma
cadam is the cheaper in construe-
ton. its upkeep renders it far more
costly than the concrete road.
The coming OF the heavy motor
