BIG DRIVE FOR PRESIDENTIAL
~ss,sst SUFFRAGE.

The North Dakota victory makes
women accredited voters in thirteen
states in the Union. But let them
cross an imaginary line into one of
the other thirty-six and 10! some
subtle sea-change is wrought where.
by they lose their political signif.
canoe. From being free American
citizens, with their own voice in
tho government Of state and nation.
they become wards Of the common.
wealth and the country. Western
women r growing yearly mor sen.
sitive to this anomalous situation
whereby they can lose their political
identity by stepping across a line that
does not exist, and they are noting
with keen interest the schedule Of
bills for presidential suffrage to be
presented in non-suffrage states this
year, under the direction of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Assn. It is practically assured that
there will be such a bill introduced
in every state legislature that con.
Tenes in 1917.
The Illinois act, which grants the
franchise to women In presidential
and municipal elections, will be used
as the model measure. In some states
local conditions or the peculiarities OF
the state constitution may require that

the register Of deeds but amend
ments offered by the judiciary COM
mittee contemplated only that in
making a contract with a real estate
dealer for the sale of land, such con-
tract must be in writing to have
any standing in court. Representa-
tive Tenneson, supporting the bill
as amended, declared that an oral
contract between farmers and land
agents caused a tremendous amount
Of litigation, and that the bill in
question would open the way to
avoiding of such trouble. However,
the bill got in the way Of the ak, and
that settled it.
A joint house and senate commit
tee constructed a bill providing for
civil service for state and county. Of
fees, and Senator King of Burleigh
county stood sponsor for it. But for
some reason the senate did not take
kindly to it, and it was killed with
out ceremony. Such laws are in force
in many states and cities over the
United States, and the idea has been
a popular one in this state for some
time, but it looks like the time for
it's acceptance in this state is not
ripe.
After Packard's Scalp
Senate Bill No. 100 is designed to
get the scalp of Chairman Packard
Of the Tax Commission. 1t provides
for a one-man tax commission, with
the governor and tie attorney gen.
eral as ex-oficio members. The bill
passed the senate by a vote Of 20
to Is, but the emergency clause fail
ed by reason of not receiving the
two-thirds vote necessary. The bill,
however, is sur of radical opposi-
ton in the house, and the opponents
say they have enough to defeat it.

CLOSET CREEDS THAT GET


Has any devotee of the anti-suf.
frage creed, ever given it a working
test? Ever tried, by its guidance,
for instance, to, get good milk for he,
family, or secured clean alleys in her
neighborhood in the summer months,
or safe sanitary conditions in the
workshop where her daughters under.
clothes were made? All important
things, as any horls-maker must ad.
NIT. The creed reads, eve believe
that women, according to their leisure,
opportunity and experience, should
take part increasingly in civic and
municipal affairs, as they have always
done in charitable, philanthropic and
educational activities. And we believe
that this can be done best by women
without the ballot, as a non-partisan
body of d~isinterested workers."
No woman a take part "increas-
ingly" in any branch of civic work
without coming, face up, to legisla.
ton, the need of it, the Injustice of
1t or It's outworn graces, says the
Richmond, Va, Journal. Then what
is she to do, according to the creed?
There Is but one course to pursue:
catole the lawmaker. And how? By
her ages-long charm? Her smile? Her
wrath and disgust? BY promises?
There is no dignity and no sense in
any such statement. Carried to it's
logical conclusion, the first part Of
the creed, as quoted above, cannot
"best be done by women without the
ballot" The dignf1ed thing to do is
to say to any lawmaker or aspiring
lawmaker, 81 ask for this legislation
because I see that 1t is needed and
the safety Of the home and good Of
the family demand It. I ask it as a
citizen responsible with you for the
welfare Of my city"

stamp bill passed the house, but not
till after some scrambling in parlia-
mentary law. A strong effort was
made to amend it by striking out the
provisions affecting coupons, certif-
Gates, etc. The house majority would
not listen to the proposed amend
ments, and the bill went through as
originally drawn.

Sleeper for stockmen
Senator Lindstrom has introduced
q bill which is known as the "stock-
train chambermaids' sleeper" It is
a bill which provides that trains
which consist of twenty-five cars or
more, loaded with stock, shall have
attached some kind Of a sleeping car
for the stockmen accompanying the
train. Not only Is this a convenience
for the stockmen, but 1t is consid-
cred necessary for their safety, as
there are many chances for accident
when these men have to travel in
the caboose. The senate has passed
the bill.

T WAS THE POLITICS
THAT NEEDED BOILING

The water supply of Fairholm was
contaminated by the sewage from the
towns up the river. Typhoid fever
foated leisurely down with the cur
rent, pausing for its handful of lives
from each town. The city council
said decisively that the city could not
build a filter plant without increased
taxation. At the words Increased
taxation" the majority Of the men
assured their wives that the best
method was to boil the water. They
squelched wifely discussion by re-
marks like. my dear, If you want a
new filter plant you must change our

debtedness Of th1rd-class Cities"
That sounded more like politics than
like woman's concerns, and the
housewives set to boiling. Mrs. Homer,
among others, boiled water to drink,
water for bathing "above the neck"
water for washing vegetables; and
scalded her hands along with tho
dishes. She forbade the childrenls
tasting water outside the house. Dis.

Probably the hardest fought bill
lately was the distance tariff bill

On certain points in the state. This
Is almost an exact reproduction of
the eastman bill which has been in
operation in Minnesota for several
years and proven quite satisfactory
to both the public and the railroads.
This bill has passed the house and
has been messaged to the senate for
consideration.
Bone Dry Bill
The bone dry bill las attracted
considerable attention for some time
In the senate, and a strong lobby
OF women has been present At the
capitol in the interest of the meas
ure. The bill finally came up in the
senate for passage. There was some
sparrlng but it passed with con-
siderable leaway and has gone over
TO the house. Just what action the
house will take in the matter is a
subject of conjecture. There Is a
strong force in the house against the
bill n still a heavy pressure is be-
ing laid on all parties in order to
assure it's passage. If this bill goes
through 1t Is sure to be signed by
Inc governor, and that means there
Will not be a drink of intoxicating

Tax Legislation
Tax legislation has come in for
It's share of attention this session.
The tax committee of the senate has
formulated a large number of bills
proposing new laws, and the senate
mas passed bills upon money and
credits, surtax upon wild lands held
for speculation, mortgage registra-
ton, gross earnings, upon private
car lines, new inheritance taxes. an
nual conference of tax officials,
abatement Of taxes, and classical
ton of property for assessment and
assessment of improvements and
structures on the far land at S
percent of their value. The tax COM
mittee of this session will probably
have more constructive tax legisla-
ton to it's credit than that commit
