REFUSES To ACT
FOR SUFFRAGE
Governor Clement of Vermont
Today Refused to Call Spe-
ciaI Session of Legislature

RUTLAND, VT, July II. Gov.
Percival w. Clement, today issued a
proclamation refusing to call the
legislature in special session to make
possible ratification of the federal
amendment for woman's suffrage.
The governors proclamation fol-
lowed a conference which he held
at Washington recently with Sena-
tor Harding. at which it is under
stood the Republican nominee for
President discussed with him the
possibility OF having ratification
completed by the Republican fegis-
lature of Vermont. In giving his
reason for refusing again to call q
special session, Governor Clement
said the proposed amendment
clearly invades the constitution of
Vermont; that the present legisla-
tion of ratifying the federal amend
ment had arisen and that the people
of the state have had no opportun-
ity to express themselves on the is
sue.
The Governor proposed that the
matter be taken up by the next leg
islature and urged that candidates
for election be required to declare
themselves, on it.
Governor Clements proclamation
asserted that 'as it stands and Is
interpreted by the supreme court
today the federal constitution
threatens the foundation of free
popular government"
"The seventeenth amendment to
the constitution" he said. had been
lobbied through congress and state
legislatures by federal agents and
the eighteenth amendment had
been forced through by powerful
and irresponsible organizations op-
Grating through paid agents"
''It is now proposed to force
through the nineteenth amendment
for woman's suffrage in the same
manner and also without the sane
tion of the freemen.
IT have been asked to force
the consideration as a matter of
party expediency. but this is mat
ter of principle not expediency and
that party that invades well estab-
lished principle of popular govern
ment will suffer in the end"

What Mrs. Gait Says.

NEW YORK, July 12-Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait, president of the
National American Women Suffrage
Association today declared "the de-
cision of Governor Clement is so
contrary to the dictates justice COM
mon sense and political expediency
that 1t convinces me that there is a
sinister and far reaching influence
behind it. To uncover that influ-
ence is one of the immediate tasks
of the suffra gists. The work of rat
ification will be pushed strongly
forward in Tennessee and North
Carolina"

MAY LET BIDS
in FEBRUARY

The editor of the Herald recently
wrote to d. p. Olson, director of high
ways of the State of Idaho, asking
what steps the department had taken
in regard to the construction of that
part of the north and south highway
in Boundary county, and the following
letter was received in reply:
I'm reply to your letter making in
quiry as to the status of the Federal
Aid Project No. 20, covering 1S miles
of the North and South Highway in
your county, extending from the Bon
ner county line to Bonners Ferry, |
beg to advise that this project was ap-
proved on October g., 1919, by the Bur-
eau of Public Roads. The plans for
the proposed construction have not as
yet been forwarded to the district of
flee at Portland for approval. How
ever, in recent conversation with
w. l. Bassett, district engineer in
charge of District No 7, he informed
me that the completed plans would be
forwarded to this Office within the
next few days. After checking them
over they will be transmitted to the
federal bureau for final approval.
1T is our intention to expedite the
approval of these plans as rapidly as
possible so that we can advertise the
work for construction during the
month of February.
1T is our policy to let as many con-
tracts for road construction during the
first three months of the year as pos
sible, due to the fact that there is an
apparent existing shortage of CON
tractors. We figure that if we can
get our work let early we will not ex-
perience the difficulty that we had last
year in securing competent contractors
to do the work"

ARMENIAN RELIEF DRIVE Is NOW
BEING WACED in this COUNTY

The Armenian Relief committee, "a
corporation established by act of
congress-" has asked Boundary coun-
ty to raise $500 as its quota for the
year 1920, for the relief Of the Ar
menians, who have returned to their
country after being in exile five
years. These people are the first
nation to accept Christianity and
have fought with their backs to the
wall against the barbarous Turks for
the last 500 years in order to keep
their religion and nationality.
Boundary county last drive ranked
second in the Inland Empire and /
want this drive to rank first this
time according to our quota, in both
quota and quiclness in procuring it.
| have arranged to have lady collect
ors at the postoffice all next week.
Every dollar goes for relief and none
for expense as all workers work
gratis and pay their own expenses.
Give literally and your name and adj
dress, with the amount contributed,
goes to these people direct who will
never forget your generosity.
L. N. BROWN, County Chairman.
In support of his appeal Mr.. Brown
gives the following facts regarding
the situation in Armenia:
Armenia is the oldest Christion
nation.
Centuries Of cruel persecution by
the Turks has not broken their spirit
nor destroyed their faith.
Two million Armenians are alive
today because of American gener-
osity.
From 100000 to 100000 Armenian
women cannot be released from
Turkish harems until provision for
their care is made by Near East
Relief.
In Western Asia there are, under
the direction Of Near East Relief, 81

AU0TOS MUST PAY TAX BY MAR I5
Deadline Established After Which
Arrests win Follow

The following bulletin was sent out
recently from the offices of the secre-
tary of state at Boise. to all county as
SCISSORS, in which the matter of the fl.
nal date for the payment of auto IL
censes is set for March Is: Hereto
fore one assessor has set a certain
date, another a later date, and there
has been general confusion. there
fore request that March Is be given
as the deadline for this year. OF
course the license fees are due on the
first of January and registrations will
occur in January and February as
usual. but the deadline date of March
is. sets the limit of patience and en-
ables peace officers to begin con-
certed and uniform drives to enforce
the law. By delay in the collection OF
these fees the counties and the state
lose large amount of revenue in the
interest which belongs to them.
Assessors, sheriffs. members of the
state constabulary and other peace of
ficers will develop a strict enforce
ment of this law"

OUR COUNTY
NEAR THE TOP

The following letter was sent this
week from Catherine r. Athey, eyec-
utive secretary of the Idaho Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association, to Mrs. Caro-
line w. Flood, chairman of the Red
Cross Christmas Seal sale for Bound
airy county, to praise the people of this
district for their response In the drive
of December:
I'VE are very glad indeed to receive
your report on the Red Cross Seal sale
and desire to say that your record Is
unusually good and do not hesitate to
say that when the state report is In
Your quota, as you explained 1t to me,
was large, and you have almost
reached it. Many counties have not
done so and feel your per capita sale
will place you very high indeed.
/ am interested in receiving your
application for the services in Bound
ary county, of survey nurse, and you
may rest assured that I shall procure,
If possible, nurse for this service.
We have many requests in but / shall
certainly consider Boundary county
among the first applications. At the
present time we are little undecided
as to our policy along survey lines.
We expect to decide either the last Of
this month or the first of February ON
our plan for state supervising nurse
to be financed by the Red Cross, the
tuberculosis association and probably
the University Extension bureau. In
this event it will be question as to
whether it will be worth while for our
association to retain a nurse for sur
vey work. In the event that the state
supervising nurse is not able to make
the county surveys / shall certainly
have nurse for this work"

hospitals, IA rescue homes, and 1863
orphanages, and that S2,291 persons
are employed in industries maintained
by Near East Relief, formerly the
Committee on Armenian and Syrian
Relief.
A quarter of million homeless
children, many Of hem orphaned be-
cause their fathers and mothers re-
fuse to renounce the Christian faith,
are dependent for life itself upon
American philanthropy.
The Armenian people themselves
do not ask charity, but only a chance
to win back their industrial indie
pendence.
Near East Relief has been grant
ed charter by congress-one Of the
few ever granted for service Of this
character.
The American Red Cross does not
operate in these fields, but has given
over $6,000,000 to the Near East Re-
lief committee to help in the work.
The gallant little Armenian army,
| fighting with backs to the wall, de-
serted by the Russians, kept the
Turks OF Of the oil fields at Baku
and helped win the war.
Colonel William N. Haskell, Amer
lean high commissioner in Armenia,
appointee Of President Wilson, is di-
rector of Near East Relief in the
Caucasus and receives all supplies
through this committee.
Colonel Haskell reports that s00,-
900 persons in the Caucasus win per-
ish from starvation before the next
harvest unless American support is
continued.
Thousands of little children have
but single garment to cover their
nakedness and to protect them from
the bitter cold of winter

Near East is the most desperate
situation in the world"

CHARLES G. REEDER is DEAD
Passed Away Last Tuesday Night Al
His Home In Spokane

Charles G. Reeder, of Spokane, a pio-
neer of that city and the owner of
large tracts of Kootenai Valley land
died last Tuesday night at his home at
E315 Tenth avenue, as a result of in
lection due to X-ray burns suffered
several years ago.
The funeral was held in Spokane on
Thursday and was attended by A. J
Kent, of this city for many years an
intimate friend of the deceased.
Mr.. Reeder had been seriously i'll
for several months and several weeks
before his death underwent an opera
ton in which his leg was removed
above the infection. About year
ago he went to Mayo Bros hospital
at Rochester, N Y, to receive treat
ment.
The deceased was born at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, in 1861. He came to
Spokane in 1891. He is survived by
a son and a daughter and his wife.
Mr.. Reeder became interested in
the lands of the Kootenai Valley many
years ago and invested heavily. For
the past ten years he has been an ar
dent booster for this country and a
worker for reclamation of the over
flowed lands and spent his money and
time freely in his endeavors. He has
many warm friends in this county who
mourn his death and who feel that
this country has lost in him one whose
faith in the future had great deal to
do in bringing about the present pros
perity.
