Some State Laos Stand
In Wuy of Suffrage

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Although
ratification of the suffrage amendment
is held to cancel all conflicting state
laws and constitutional provisions, q
statement given out tonight by the
National Womans Party said further
legislative or executive action might
be needed in several states before ade-
quate election machinery was set up
to permit all women to vote in Novem-
Der.
Alice Paul, chairman Of the party,
wired to Attorneys General in doubtful
states asking if the road to the polls
would be open to women as soon as the
ratification of the amendment had been
proclaimed. Only nine doubtful states,
Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware
Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Maryland and Vermont, re-
NAMED to be heard from on the point
as party officials have been informed
that adequate steps would be taken in

Deciding Vote for Suffrage
Mrs Burn Says She Wrote Her Boy, Tennessee Legis-

Fight for the Amendment; Tells of His Dreams

Sees Purer Politics
Asked how she came to be interested
in suffrage, Mrs. Burn said:
IL believe it is just matter of
rights. l have taken very little in
ttercst in the campaign and don't
know the principal suffrage leaders.
But I did know that the contest was
on in the Tennessee Legislature and
just kept hoping and praying that
Harry would vote aye. l thought all
the time that he would vote for it, al
though he had never told me definitely
just how he intended to vote.
Il think suffrage will purify politics
and ! am for progress. I have hired
hands on my farm hight here who pay
no taxes, yet they are permitted to
vote. But | do pay taxes and have
not had any hand in my country's af-
fairs.
81 don't think any one over there
at Nashville was better posted on suf-
fragc than Harry. When he is home
he spends most of his spare time at
nights up in his room reading till near
midnight' And Mrs. Burn proceeded
to name thirty-tive magazines to which
she said her son subscribed.
Harry always wanted to be a public
man and for that reason always kept
reading about public affairs. In fact,
his ambitions were so high that his
classmates in school 'nicknamed him
'president,' and some of them still call
him that"
Wants Niota Developed
Representative Burn is relief agent
for the Southern Railway, in addition
to holding the state office. In filling
ont Burns questionable for the
selective draft in the war an official
OF the railroad wrote this endorsement
on 1T: "He is the only man on the
road that can fill one and all jobs"
Representative Burns father was
for thirty years the station master at
Niota
Harry takes great pride in the de-
velopment of Niota," continued Mrs
Burn. He has spent much time trying
to work out improvements. When he
was small boy he used to day dream
of the future Niota, of buildings he
would like to see take the place of
old ones. Now he is beginning to
realize his dreams"

younger son, James, who manages and
farms the 400 acres, and ss.ill younger

Governor James M. Cox, on his ar
rival in New York week from to-day
to speak at the Police Field Day at
Snecpshead Bay, will be advised by
representatives of Governor Alfred +.
Smith and Charles f. Murphy to make
strong bid for the Irish vote.
The leaders in New York and else
where have discovered that Cox is weak
in New York on account of his visit to
President Wilson and his espousal of
the League of Nations. Tammany is
full of opposition to the Wilson league.
Governor Cox already has been ad-
vised to tell the Irish OF New York
State that the League of Nations, prop
erly interpreted as the President de
sires: really spells Irish national
freedom.
BY coming out with such declar a

Irish vote can be saved to the national
ticket. despite the opposite Of Will

NlOTA, Tenn, Aus. 2O.-One of the
happiest women of the millions en-
tranchised by Tenncssee's ratification
OF suffrage is Mrs. j. f. Burn. 1t was
her son, Representative Harry Burn,
who on Wednesday cast the deciding
ballot in the state Legislature, voting
for suffrage because HIS mother wanted
him to.
But to-day Mrs. Burn took no credit
for the suffrage victory. She merely
talked in glowing terms of her son, his
achievements and his dreams She adj
mltted that without knowing how he
stood on the issue she had written him
a letter at the last minute, in which she
told him she hoped he woslld decide to
vote for the amendment
Il am glad he loved me enough to
say afterward that my letter had so
much influence on him." said the
mother proudly "The first news I
heard of the suffrage victory was from
harry himself. He called nte over the
long distance telephone immediately
after the Wednesday session to tell me
the suffrage amendment had carried
and that it had been his vote which as
sured the victory.'
Mrs. Burn said as soon as the rati-
flcation resolution had passed she be-
gan to get kilograms and letters from
Nashville inquiring whether she had
wired her son to vote for suffrage.
Wrote Only One Letter
mo" she went on to-day, 81 wrote
only that one letter. To be honest and
true to his convictions is Harry's
motto. | am sure he wasn't paid to
vote for the suffrage amendment, as
has been charged in some of the Ten
nessee newspapers. He would have
gone back on the kind of pep that was
born in him to have done such thing
as that"
AS Mrs. Burn talked, in the sitting
room of the great gray stone Colonial
house on the hill, she pointed through
the window toward the town, half
mile below
My boy" she said, "was graduated
in the first class that ever went out of
the Meta High School, and he is proud
of the fact that he comes from this
little town, with its only 700 popula-
ton. He was elected to the Legsla-
years old"
And as proof of her conviction that
her sons vote could not have been in
fiuenced by money, Mrs. Burn pointed
to the fact that he is president of the

tended. Mr.. Robbins explained that the
department had decided that he would
be more useful in Washington, in
charge of the division. His assignment
to Poland was temporary, and was
caused by the emergency situation
which the Bolshevik armies had created

City Borrowing
Limit Reduced
To 10 Millions
Realty Assessment for This
Year Gave 1t Power to
Observation-Disclosures
ing to S 1902, 6I2,I7O
$500, 600, 900 Expended
Transit Improvements, New
Schools and Pay Raises
Are Some of Reservations

An analytical survey of the citv's
financial status, based upon its debt
mourning power, issued yesterday by
Comptroller Charles L. Craig, showed
that the city's borrowing capacity at
the present time was reduced to the
comparatively small figure of 10000
600. Three stated periods of the fiscal
year are covered in the survey, which
shows that on July 1 last, the third
fiscal period. there was a margin OF
credit allowed the city of 81 1913. 900.
since then, however, appropriations
granted by the Board Of Estimate re-
duced this margin to less than s25.-
100000, and with more recent obliga-
lions assumed by the city the borrow
ing limit is nearly down to $4,000, OnO.
Some of the reservations and COM
mitments include rapid transit i'm
provements, harbor expansion, new
schools and salary increases. Under
the constitutional provision the city
is allowed to borrow or incur In
debtedness approximating 10 per cent
of the assessed valuation of taxable
real estate.
In 1920 real property in this city was
assessed at $s,626, 12l ,7o7, which gave
the municipality a borrowing caracity
of S62,6i2,170, or about $4,000. 900
more than last year. The survey shows
that the city has expanded in excess
OF $500 900 toward maintaining is
different departments and developing
its various facilities It also indi
Gates that the total funded debt of
the city has increased $4,000 900 since
January L.
On that date the funded debt was
81 ,548 ,260 ,597. On April | II was 81
$50, 4S+,257 The last period. to July i.
showed the funded debt to be 81 SOL
709,6S7. OF this amount, however,
many items are excepted under court
decisions from being included in the
debt limit.
In summarizing the report the Comp
troller sad
"The city's constitutional debt-in-
curing power is established after
charging, in addition to the funded
debt within the debt limit, all indebt-
edness, consisting of liability for lands
acquired by the city for any municipal
purpose and all contract liability still
to be earned for rapid transit con-
structlon, dock construction and all
other permanent improvements, not in
Guiding OUTLAWS for the city's water
supply. On July l this floating debt
consisted of over $49,000,000, and con-
sequently, in financing these obliga-
lions as they are payable, the city
could borrow upward of $4,000 900 by
means of corporate stock or corporate
stock notes without decreasing the
debt limit or debt-incurring power of
the city.
THE city's debt limit is diminished
by new appropriations for additional
improvements, such as the $1,000 900
which has been appropriated from the
general debt-incurring power of the
city since July l for rapid transit con-
structon."
