1.-THE proposed amendment here sub
mitted for your confederation Ia de-
signed to remove q constitutional bar
rier to voting over which the citzeh
affected has no control.
I'VE have just now emerged from a
great world war In which supreme
sacrifice has been made by all citizens,
regardless OF sex, and there seems to
be a settled conviction that another
progressive step should be taken In
charging the rights and Responsible
ties OF one-half of the citizens OF the
country by removing barrier over
which the citizens have no control and
one which the years have demonstrate
ed Is not a Just test Of the right to
vote.
There can be no comparison be-
tween the mental ability OF the citi-
amendment and those to be enfran-
chisei under the proposed amendment.
Those enfranchised by the fifteenth
amendment had Just emerged from
slavery and even then no harm came
to representative government: while
those to be enfranchised under the pro-
posed amendment arc at least the
mental and moral equals Of those al
ready entitled to the franchise.
in my judgment. now is the time to
amend the federal constitution on this
vital question and Iowa, occupying the
place she does among the sisterhood
Of states. should act among the very
first in approving the amendment.
With the sex barrier removed, we
can then proceed to make new stand
ards for voting that will affect all cit
liens alike and place an added value
on the fronchise right Of suffrage.
