w o IN an Suffrage Amendment
May be Held Up.

The Jackson correspondent to the
Mobile Register says:
The amendment to the Federal
constitution comforting suffrage on
women will probably fail of adop-
ton at the next session Of the Mis-
sissippi legislature, chiefly because
1t Is not in conformity with the
Mississippi constitution governing
the elective franchise, according to
political leaders who have given
the matter much study since the
Susan B. Anthony amendment was
ratified by the United States senate.
In other words, il is expected
that this state will withhold ratifi-
cation of votes for women until the
state constitutions can he SO amended
as to require of women the same
qualifications providedfor male vo-
tiers, which includes ability to read
and understand the state constitu-
ton. payment of poll tax, etc.
Under the Mississippi franchise
laws, as they now stand, any wo-
man could go to the polls and vote,
Immediately following ratification
of the federal amendment, without
paying poll tax, or in any other wav
conforming to the restrictions i'm
posed by both the organic law and
the election statutes. The election
would simply be a free-for-all event
insofar as women are concerned
"A goodly number of political
leaders in the state who have no op-
position to woman suffrage, have
declared that they will oppose rati-
fication of the federal amendment
until after the state constitution has
been properly amended. Under the
plan of procedure. provided by the
constitution. 1t will take two years
from next January to get the neces-
sary amendment inserted into the
constitution. provided they are
adopted at the presidential election
in November. 1920, which is the
earliest date they could be sub
mitted to the people.

EQUALIZATION of Taxation Is What

The question of taxation is the

power to tax is the power to de-
stroy. We are not interested in
any particular measure but rather
in the principles underlying the
measure. If the Tax Commission
of Mississippi is not perfect the
thing for the statemen to do is to
perfect it. See to it that the bur

There is little reason to doubt
that President Wilson enjoys wide

lea, and that he intends to turn this
popularity to his political advantage

10 let Congress thrash the matter
out without let or hinderence from
its constituency. The proposed
League of Nations involves so many
questions of international law that
it il impossible for the man of aver

and it, acceptance or rejection
should be left to trained diplomats

The clause Of the treaty which af-
fects the South most vitality is one
which apparently gives the Negro
and MongOlian races practical con-
troll OF the worlds aestiuies This
clause. however. is somewhat nebu-
lous, and supporters Of the league
contend that the adoption of the
proposed covenant will not jeopar-
die the South's welfare. Southern
senators and congressman should,
however, look carefully into the
matter. and if it il found that the
adoption of the league covenant as
now written means negro dominance
they should not support it.
The close of the war has already
been followed by revival of the
race problem. William Trotter, sec
