LET THE WOMEN HAVE A VOICE

A little story which has its pathetic
side, one to touch all men, anti-suf-
fragists and others who see in mother
hood the great justifcatiea for wo-
mems existence, comes flon Ahe Okla,
homa field, where suffrageMRs adopt
ed Nov. 9Th. The story is told in the
Woman Citizen. While Mary Park
London was enrolling Oklahoma wo-
men who wanted the vote, she came
upon a rude little hut on poles in
which a new mother lay all alone ex-
cept for her brand new baby. Out of
the depths of the deepest human ex-
periences. the woman raised herself
on her elbow and signed the paper,
asking for her rights as woman; her
right to be something more than the
suffering physical producer of men,,
the right to have a guiding voice in
the state where men must live. The
act of the lonely woman in the sordid
little hut ought to ring around the
world and make part of the plea for
democracy going up from the OPP
pressed earth.
Who can understand the feelings of
this woman better than the soldier
dying in hospitals that men and wo-
men might live in safety?
The proposed new constitution gives
the soldier and the mother the vote
Support it by your vote, Mr.. Voter,
when you go to the ballot box to cast
your vote Saturday, Dec. Ia. Let the
women not ask in vain.-J. c. P.

APPLICATION OF THE
BUDGET SYSTEM

The greatest money saving provis-
ion in the new constitution is the pro-
vision requiring the application of the
Budget System to state appropria-
tions. This simply means that the
state revenue must be estimated and
then no appropriation can be made in
excess of it. We cannot get in debt
again under this provision. The same
is true in the county; no debt can be
created if the new constitution is
adopted, unless the people first au-
thorize it by majority vote. Vote
for the new constitution. No debt
can be made unless the people first
authorize it. Under the old constitu-
ton the Legislature and the county
courts have made millions of dollars
of debts without the consent of the
people.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION
AND THE POLL TAX

The new constitution provides that
a poll tax of not less than $1.00 shall
be assessed against all inhabitants
over twenty-one years of age. This is
for the school fund, and women must
pay it if they vote. This should add
$300,000.00 to the school fund. This
amount, $1.00 per person, cannot be
increased unless the people, by initia-
tive, authorize it, or the increase is
authorized by the Legislature, and any
increase must go to the education of
the children of the state. The hope
of the state is the education of the
children. The new constitution safe
guards the educational interests of
the state, and we'll informed educators
of the state are for it. Vote for the
new constitution.
