REGISTERING THE NEW VOTERS

That the ratification Of the suffrage
amendment creates good deal OF
confusion In the present state cleo
ton laws, is evident from the COM
ment of the press. The Tampa Tri-
hume has an editorial this morning,
reprinted in another column, in which
It discusses the name under which
married women shall register. The
Democratic candidate for attorney
general, Rivers H. Buford, has made
an interesting statement urging
special session of the legislature,
which is printed today in the news
columns. Many other questions are
likely to be raised as the attempt is
made to adjust the amendment to our
statutes.
Without presuming to encroach up.
on the functions of the courts, the
Telegram will venture to state some
Of the elementary principles which
1t seems most essential to under
tand.
(ll The amendment does not alter
the legal status of woman in but one
particular--it gives her an equal
right with man to vote. It does not
touch her civil or property rights. It
does not affect the marital re-
lation. 1t does not abrogate any
state laws relating to her. 1t takes
her, just as she is under all existing
laws, and gives her the ballot.
(2) All amendment to the federal
constitution automatically repeats all
federal and state statutes in SO far
only as they are inconsistent with
such amendment.
(Sl The right Of suffrage, as con-
ferred by the amendment. is absolute,
and not depndent upon the action Of
Congress or any state legislature.
% Existing statutes apply to
women voters only In so Far a. they
operate I'm future" and where their
terms are broad and general enough
to include both sexes without alter
Ing their original intent. They can
not be given retroactive construc-
ton. As a non-voter a woman has
not been required to pay a poll tax
or to register. With due respect to
Mr.. Buford's opinion, we do not be-
lieve any court in the state would
hold that the poll tax provision could
be applied to women at the forth
coming election.
II these considerations are sound.
they point the way to the proper
course In Florida. So far as concerns
the name under which women regis
ter, that is immaterial. In states
where equal suffrage already prevails
q married woman registers either un-
der the name of her husband, with
mrs. prefixed, or under her own
Christian name. Until the legislature
sees fit to impose some requirements
under that head 1t will be perfectly
safe to let the women vote under the
names they Use in society.
But 1t seems reasonably clear that
II any voting restrictions are to be
imposed on women, it is necessary to
do 1t by legislation enacted for that
purpose. Certainly, il the purpose is
to avoid grounds of election contests,
il would be exceedingly unsafe to un-
dertake to twist our present statutes
so as TO apply them to the new vot-
ers. A special session, though gem
orally speaking undesirable, seems to
offer the only safe course of proceed
ure.

Secretary of Commerce Alexander
Pleads With People Not to
Burn It-Sell to the

WASHINGTON. April I'm
referring to his recent appeal for
the conservation Of waste, Secre-
tary Of Commerce Alexander in
a SOO-word plea today urged the
saving Of all waste paper.
Following my appeal OF last
week to save waste and turn it
back into the channels Of trade,
the secretary said, Il wish to
call attention to the Importance
of saving all waste paper.
Attention has been called
quite a number of times lately to
the vital shortage in paper, and
il the general public could re-
alize how shortage OF paper
affects it's daily life I feel sure
that a saving and utilization OF
all waste paper would be made.
The substance of his plea was: =
Don't burn waste paper; sell it
to the waste paper dealer.
