AGAINST SUFFRAGE
Resolutions Introduced i'm General
Assembly Providing for Refus-
nj Ratify Amendment.

Montgomery, Ala, July 1O.-On
the converting OF the Alabama legis-
lature here a joint resolution was
introduced in the house providing for
refusal to ratify the woman suffrage
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton. Opponents to suffrage by fed
eral amendment asserted that suffi-
cient votes were pledged in both
houses to reject the amendment.
Efforts were made in the house to
take immediate action on a resolu-
tion to endorse the peace treaty and
the league Of nations, but opposition
developed to taking it up at once.
Governor Kilby addressed joint
session of the two houses, speaking
more than an hour. during which he
discussed conditions in the state and
recommended legislation affecting ed
ucation, public health, changes in
the form OF handling the states con-
victs, taxation, finance and revenue.
In the latter instance the governor
suggested as revenue producer q
state income tax and a tonnage tax
on coal and iron mined in the state.

1860 PERSONS PAID TO
SEE CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT
The Receipts Were Less Than Half
Million Dollars-Thc Promoters
Profits Under 100000.

Toledo. July 1O.-Exactly 1860
persons paid their way into the Bay
view park arena on July to see the
heavyW eight championship bout be-
tween Jess Willard and Jack Demp-
sey.
Othcial figures as to attendance
and receipts were announced by
Frank b. Flournoy, Tex Richards as
sociate in the venture.
The receipts after the government
tax of s41.7S9.94 had been deducted
were s41O,732.16. The per cent.
charity fund for the city OF Toledo
was slightly under $4,000
There were 292 policemen in the
stadium, 70 fremen. 600 ushers, 90

press representatives.

Willard. $1OO.OOO; Dempsey, $27,-
600; arena construction, 10000;
city of Toledo charity fund, $4,000;
total $3O7, 500.

NOT TREASURY'S DUTY
TO HELP SPECULATORS
Nor Does Federal Reserve Board
Feel Inclined to Furnish Them
Cheap Money.

Washington, July 1O.-Interstate
rates charged on call money loaned
to carry speculative stocks can have
no permanent effect upon rates for
governmental or commercial and in
dustrial purposes, the federal reserve
board declared in a statement issued
tonight through Governor Harding.
Referring to the movement of the call
rates. which have been as high as 20
per cent, recently, the statement said
they were "erratic," but that the
arbitrary measures taken during the
war to repress speculation could not
be perpetuated in peace times.
The statement said that recent re-
fusal Of banks to take full advantage
Of treasury department offers to re-
deem certificates OF Indebtedness in
advance showed that "banking insti-
tutions of the country preferred to
keep their funds invested in treasury
certificates bearing interest at 1-2
per cent. rather than take advantage
Of much higher rates on stock collat-
eral"
'It is not the function of the treas
ury nor OF the Federal reserve banks
or the banking institutions of the
country to provide cheap money for
speculative purposes" the statement
continued. THE board feels that the
reflex action of the rates for call mon
ey on the governments financial pro-
gram and the requirements of com
merce and industry has greatly de-
creased. and will continue to decrease
as 1t becomes better and better un-
derstood that the true functions OF
the banking institutions OF the coun-
try and the federal reserve system
acting in their aid, is, subject to the
| temporary requirements of the gov.
ernment, to finance commerce and in.
| dustry. To have definitely estab
lished the fact that there is no neces.
sary connection between rates fol
speculative purposes and for CONNER
cial transactions is in itself an i'm,
portant development

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.


II Will soon be time to think about
the selection OF the men who are to
govern the city for the ensuing two
years. with the exception OF the
two councilmen from the First ward.
the present administration has serv-
ed four years and 1t is not likely
that either Mayor sheldon or the
councilmen from the Second and
Third wards will care to serve anoth-
er term. The present administra-
ton has done considerable good
work. and those who are chosen to
govern the city for the coming term
should be men who are willing and
capable OF carrying on some of the
projects this administration has
outlined. and inaugurate new ones.
In these days OF high taxes and
high cost OF living. municipal and
state improvements should not be
entered into In a reckless manner;
neither should necessary improve
ments be withheld. From a financial
standpoint, Montpelier is better OF
than the average town of this size in
Idaho. By this, we mean the city's
bonded Indebtedness il light as com.
pared with that Of other towns Of its
size. It 10 also true that Montpelier
is behind most other towns in the
matter Of, CIVIC improvements, al
though considerable progress has
been made during the past four
years, In the erection OF beautiful
and commodious city hall and the
installation Of a sewer system In q
portion OF the city. This system
should now be extended, so as take
in az near the entire city as possible
and we doubt II there would be q
voice raised against its extension.
The question of street paving Ii
one that is now being considered BY
this administration. This is an Inn
provement which Is bound to come
sooner or later, and the Examiner
would like to see the start made this
year, providing the cost of this class
Of work has not gone skyward, along
with everything else. or course
some will say we can't afford It, They
said the same thing about installing
a water system and about laying ce-
ment sidewalks and about the sewer
system. But we have got all of these
and we dare say that there is not a
citizen who would today vote to do
away with any one Of these inn
provements.
