WOMEN IN PORTO RICO
OPPOSE SUFFRAGE BILL
workers Think Bill Proposed Eo,
the Island Would Let Too
Many Women Vote.

San Juan. Porto Rico. April 10
That women in Porto Rico should
snare all rights granted to men un-
der the existing laws, is the proposal
OF an act introduced into the house
OF representatives by Representative
Gonzalez Mena.
The Woman's league OF Porto
Rico, with over $500 members
throughout the island. which is
working to obtain the vote for wo-
men, is not in favor Of the bill as It
Is considered too sweeping in its
terms. The league fears that ~ the
vote is given to ignorant and litter
ate women throughout the island 1t
VIII mean only more votes to be
controlled by the politicians.
1t wants votes only for women
who can read and write. more for
educational and patriotic reasons
than for political purposes and the
women expect to use their influence
and power in social, charitable.
moral and intellectual ways.
Under the control Of the Woman's
league OF Porto Rico the woman's
suffrage movement in the island has
made a considerable advance, con-
sidering that it has been in progress
only two years. For many years
Porto Rico has held the usual Latin
American idea OF woman's place in
life.

OCEAN RATES.

The decreases in shipping. rates to Europe an
nounced by the shipping board in January have
not stimulated the export trade to the extent
that was expected. The shipping board pub
lished rate of $275 per ton to France, but fail
ed to provide ships at this figure. The average
charge of private shipping companies ON exports
to France is about $55 per ton. At this figure,
many American manufacturers are completely
out of the French business
The ships controlled by the English govern
ment charge only $50 ton to England, and
number of American manufacturers exporting
to France have been able to ship their goods first
to England at $40 and then trans-ship them to
France at charge Of $40, making the total rate
to France by this roundabout route $50 ton.
The rate from Canada to France is reported at
$28 per ton. To Portugal the charge from the
United States is $66 per ton. This rate on steel
products selling for $50 per ton in the United
States makes the total cost in Prtugal STAG per
ton.
Europe, just now, does not have great need
of American manufactured products. The ships
controlled by foreign government come to Amer
lea for the necessaries of life and the raw mater
ials needed to maintain activity in factories. Our
January export { new high record at $623, OOO,-
OOO) furnish an indication of the extent to which
ships are engaged in transporting foodstuffs and
raw materials. he demand for these things is
temporarily great that little shipping space
is left for manufactured products.
The basic difficulty of the manufacturing ex-
porter is that the shipping board controls only
very small shipping tonnage, whereas the French
and British governments control large amounts.
When the war broke out, less than 10 per cent
of the commerce of the United States was car
ried in American ships In 1916 there was an in
crease to Is per cent, and in 1919 probably 20
per cent of our total commerce will be carried in
American ships. This increase in American
shipping is encouraging tendency, but the
proportion is inadequate for the present emer-
gency.-The Alexander Hamilton Institute

HOMES FOR SOLDIERS.

AS an appreciation Of the services rendered
by her soldiers, Iowa is considering plan for
loaning $4,000 without interest to every citizen
of the state honoraby discharged from the army
or navy who wishes to acquire home.
The measure proposes to levy a general state
tax of 1 mill each year for five years, which
would be available for payment directly to build
ing contractors real estate agents, upon order
from clerks of the district courts.
Ex-soldiers would be required to give mort
gage to the state upon the property purchased
and repay the money within fifteen years, upon
monthly or quarterly installments An Iowa
soldier thus could acquire title to $4,000 property
by paying little more than $11 month, "just
like rent for fifteen years.
AS the loans are repaid to the state it is pro-
posed to apportion the money among the coun-
ties to be used in building roads.
Advocates of the plan believe that in addition
to helping the soldiers establish themselves it
would result in building development which
would add so materially to the wealth of the
state as to make the tax levy profitable public
investment.
