Ratification Held Sure and Ref.
erendum Is Expected to Let
Women Vote i'm 1920

AUGUSTA, Mes. OFT 1s.-The spe-
cial session of the Maine Legislature
called to day by Governor Milliken
will be asked to consider the Susan

Legislature passed a law giving women
the RIGHT to vote for Presidential cleo
tors. In a recent decision the State
SUP ere Cou~t unanimously recon-
mended that this law be referred to
the voters. IN accordance with this
suggestion, Governor Milliken plans
to submit the question at the regular
election in 1920, early enough SO, if
endorsed. the women may vote in the
following November.

THOSE MILLIONAIRES.

For some months wild statements
have been making the rounds of the
press which purported to tell the re-
markable STORY of $4,000 new mill
lionaires created by the war. These
overloaded plutocrats were said to be
residents of the United States and a
new and serious menace to business,
society, labor and what not.
In an effort to learn the facts about
these prosperous eighteen thousand,
we have Secured from Johnson, Peck
& Co. of Chicago, Illinois, a certified
copy of the government statistics on
income tax returns for 1914 to 1917,
the latest returns to be had, and re-
liable. Of, course the statistics for
1913 have not yet been compiled and
published.
| From this source of information
we have gathered some interesting
facts-too many for this short arti-
Gle.
| The total number of millionaires
in the United States in 1916 as shown
by the above report was 1905, and
in 1917 the number was 19,103-an
increase of 2, 018, and not $4,000.
Other interesting disclosures were
that the men whose incomes were
around $4,000 year received for
that year net income Of $4,180,000,-
000-twice as much as all of the
bmillionaires in the United States re-
ceived from incomes for the same
year-1917.
Prof. w. /. King, a statistician of
unquestioned authority, states that
the so-called wealthy classes of the
United States received about 20 per
cent of the incomes in the United
States, and that the workers, the la
borers, the farmers and men engaged
in small business enterprises received
the other 80 per cent.
| Another fact which is surprising is
that, while In 1915 there were 206
people in the United States who en-
Joyed an income of million dollars
a year, this number. had shrunk in
1917 to 141, and their net incomes
had shrunk $157,427,730 for the
year.
These facts being established, there
is nothing for US common folks to be
alarmed over in the whole matter.
The troubles of the rich and the
shrinkage of their incomes worry us
not at all.
Reliable figures for 1918 and 1919
will be examined with great inter-
est when available, as it is certain
that increased taxation and other
things will have to hit the rich men
still harder during this last period

VATICAN cHoIRs AT DULUTH

The Vatican Choirs of Rome, con-
sisting of 70 male voices, who will ap-
pear at the Duluth Armory November

September II for the first time in the
history of the organization, which was
founded more than 1000 years ago.
The singers appeared at Carnegie
hall, New York, and an audience of
Gentiles and Jews packed the building

The Vatican choirs will be the

Duluth is one of the smallest cities in

ing the mines clear Of water.
Leaders of the striking faction il
is understood have been at Tower,
Aurora and other points on the ranges
trying to induce the men to join their
red outfit and go out on a strike.
They did not meet with any whole
sale desire to help out in their pro-
gram of outstanding America and
making things safe for the Bolshev-
lists in the towns they visited. The
proximity of winter and the high
price of pork chops put a damper on
the enthusiasm. Besides, the history
of previous outbreaks of this nature
wherein the leaders eloped with the
treasury in many instances, is still
fresh in the minds of the miner.
The larger portion of the employees
of the mines were paid off during the
week. It can be safely stated that
so far something like $4,000 has
been lost in wages during the strike.
