I The advent and progress of suffrage
in Finland is described in a comlnuni-
cation to the National Geographic So
! ciety by Baroness Aletta Korff as fol-
lows:
"From an educational point of view
the women Of Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls and number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations Girls
| were admitted to the university in
| 1873 and, until the war interviewed,
they not only attended lectures bnt
| took part In all branches Of university
| life: they participated in all the cele-
brations and festivities, and were
members of the various clubs and stu
dent organizations, in which they were
on footing of perfect equality with
the men, and frequently were elected
to various official positions. After they
were graduated from one of the sew
eral high schools or from the univer-
sity, there were many branches of
work open to them.
"Having thus such an excellent foun-
dalton to build upon, 1t is small won
der that the woman's movement soon
found many active supporters. In
1868 the diet had accorded the mu-
nicipal vote to women taxpayers living
in the country, and in 1872 to women
living in the towns, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected MEM
bers of certain local self-governing
bodies. In 1900 the women social DEM
ocrats included the suffrage in their
program, but the special activity for
the suffrage began only in the year
1904, although in 1897 petition had
been officially presented to the diet
at the request Of the Finnish Wom-
ans association
'"The reason why so little was done
in direct furtherance of the cause of
1897 and 1904 is that just at that time
Finland was passing through severe
political crisis.
"After the outbreak of the October
revolution in Russia (1905), a sympa-
thetic strike was declared in Finland
and several Of the members of the CEN
trail committee elected by mass
meeting to manage the details of the
strike were women.
"The first action taken by the COM
mittee was to close all the liquor
shops, saloons and barroOms, and to
organize volunteer police force to
keep order. After the second day the
markets were reopened and the strik-
ers were not allowed to cut off the wa
ter supply. In short, the strike was
managed in most orderly and sys-
tematic way, and no outrages OF any
sort were committed"

farmer who needs money to finance
his crops, all business and profess
sional men, every worker who under
takes to purchase a loan through
building and loan associations, will
be compelled to pay more for the
use of money.
And there is still another element
of danger involved. If railroad
bonds yield more than seven per
cent, and in addition are guaranteed
as to principle and interest, there will
be an appreciate depreciation of the
value of Liberty Bonds and other
government obligations, with lower
interest yield.
These securities, taken generously
by the people when the nation need
ed money, are already way below par,
and they will sustain further losses
if the railroad managers are per
mitted to have their way. Their mar
ket value will be a sum equal to an
average yearly yield corresponding to
the interest rate paid by the rail
roads.
1t is a dangerous and unheard-of
proposition that has been presented
for official sanction, and just one
more proof that the railroad presi-
dents are harboring the conviction
that this nation and its people ex-
list solely for exploitation.

erty investment accounts. Verify, so
far as the railroad pirates are con
cerned, their sins are being visited
upon the children even to the fifth
generation.
Because the situation is as it is,
and there is no remedy save that of
purging the records of all save real
value, private management cannot
continue. 1t must have been more
money than the traffic will bear. 1t
now has passed the point at which
the people are able or willing to pay.
The industrial expansion which was
promised to follow the termination of
the war will be hindered, if not pre-
vented. Commodity rates will re-
main below the level necessary to
give the railroads return of much
less than 512 per cent on nearly
nineteen billions of dollars.
All of which must be pleasing to
advocates of government ownership.
They are in the position of being
interested spectators to the dissolu-
ton of system that was marked
for death more than twenty years
ago. They can await with patience
the final act in this drama, confident
that the next step will be govern
ment ownership of transportation
and the operation of the railroads
on basis of public service instead
of for profit, manipulation and spec
ulation.
Wall street controls Congress, but
it is impotent against the memorable
laws of economies, as immutable as
the laws of the Modes and the Per-
slams. 1t is pay day in Wall street,
and Wall street cannot pay. 1t is
caught in an inextricable web of it's
own weaving. 1t will struggle yet
awhile. 1t can defer but not fore
fend the inevitable day of accounting.
Just as soon as it is realized that
the exorbitantly high rates do not
solve the problem, the whole ques-
ton will be reopened, and then there
shall be serious discussion having for
it's sole object the determination of
solution that will deal fairly with
interests that heretofore have been
neglected.
Higher Wages for Dollars
Representative of the trunk line
railroads have asked the Interstate
Commerce Commission for permits
sion to borrow from private capital
at yearly interest rate of more
than seven per cent.
Ordinarily, that would be a mat
ter that concerned only the owners
of the railroads involved. If they
saw fit to pay a high rate of inter
est for money borrowed, they would
thereby reduce the amount they
would have available for the payment
of dividends to stockholders.
But these are not ordinary times,
and we are not operating the rail
roads in ordinary fashion.
Because of the generous provisions
of the Cummins- Esch bill, dictated
by railroad executives, higher inter-
est charges are a matter of prime
Importance to the public. Dividends
are guaranteed by that act, and the
new burden will fall upon the public
commodity costs.
| What the railroads are really ask
ing is that they be permitted to levy
an additional tax on every man, wo-
man and child in the United States.
The wages of workers are to be
assessed that larger interest may be
paid to loans made by bankers to
the railroads.
But that is not the only serious
phase of the question. Any increase
in the rates of interest paid by rail
roads will compel the average bor-
rover to pay more for funds. The

 Editor of Arizona Republican.
 Dear Sir: The question of a union depot having again raised its head has brought to mind a matter that may be of interest to your readers. As this city is growing and fastly, the need of more thoroughfareS for traffic will be felt. If the general practice of American cities is followed this need will be ignored until we have a decided and uncomfortable congestion in our present main streets. If. however, we would profit by the experience of other and older cities, we will consider this question now, we will plan for con tinuous. orderly growth now
 I have in mind tentative plan. It is this. Extend Grand avenue through southeasterly to Center street. Elk anining the map it will be found that the latter will be intersected at or about the present intersection with Jackson street. Consolidate all steam roads entering this city and place union depot upon present site of the Arizona Eastern. Consider now the independent direct connection of Phoe- nix with it's wholesale and industrial districts with the gardens, farms. and ranches of the northwest. Such will be of mutual benefit to all communi- ties concerned. Grade crossings pave ments. loading and unloading faciii- ties and so on are mere details.
 Yours truly.
