II the roads from the property most
convenient. Senator Allen protested
yehemently against this amend
nent. holding that it was unfair to
citizens to empower anyone to remove
tons of gravel or dirt from their
property, even though the bill pro-
vide for fair payment for same. He
stated that in many instances crops
would be destroyed and that the per-
sens concerned should at least be
consulted.
Senator Goodrich answered the pro-
test. saying that fair damages allowed
and the right of appeal to trial by
jury open to all persons affected. He
pointed out. that, IL the matter was
taken to the courts before the gravel
could be obtained. the road building
program would be delayed indefi-
ritely. The amendment was carried.
AS concurred in by the senate. the
bill provides for a commission OF FIVE
engineering experts. appointed by the
governor. who will be assembled
whenever necessary and be granted
the power to review all appeals taken
from decisions of the commissioner.
The commissioners will be paid the
sum Of $40 per day while actually on

the sum paid each member shall not
exceed $1,000 for each year
Senator Strobe introduced a reso-
luton providing that counties. hav-

it is the instrument by which exports

The War Trade Board was created
by two acts Of Congress-those OF es-

President Wilson nominated the
board to care directly for the war

There has been little inquiry re-

SUFFRAGE IN
PORTO RICO
Women's League Wants
Only Intelligent Women
to Have Vote.

San Juan. Porto Rico, March 2s.-
That women in Porto Rico should
share all rights granted to men under
the existing laws, is the proposal Of
an act introduced into the house of
representatives by Representative
Gonzalez Mena.
The Womans' league Of Porto Rico,
with v $500 members throughout
the island. and which is working to
obtain the vote for women, is not in
favor of the bill as it is considered
too sweeping in its terms. The league
fears that If the vote is given to igno-
rant n illiterate women throughout
the island it will mean only more
votes to be controlled by the politi-
clans.
1t wants votes only for women who
can read and write, more for educa-
tional and patriotic reasons than for
political purposes and the women ex-
pect to Use their influence and power
in social, charitable, moral and in
tellectual ways.
Under the control of the womans'
league of Porto Rico the woman's
suffrage movement in the island has
made a considerable advance consid-
only two years. For many years Porto
Rico has, held the usual Latin-Ameri-
a idea Of woman's place in lifL.
Bills providing tor wonlan's suffrage
were introduced last year in the legis-
lature but failed to pass. while not
| very strong hopes are entertained Of
the bill recently introduced, which in
any case is thought by the league to
! be too far reaching. Members Of the
, league. however, say they are not dis
couraged and will continue their work
until the women Of Porto Rico who
can read and write are given the vote
