Baton Rouge, La, May S.-Women suffrage Headquarters were estab- lished here today, leaders having moved from New Orleans to direct the final skirmishes preceding the action in the legislature which meets ' May 10 and which will decide wheth- CT or not Louisiana will be the thirty sixth state to ratify the federal wom- en suffrage amendment.

 Mrs. James s. Pinckard of Mont gomery, Ala, president of the South ern Women's League, of the rejection Of the Susan B. Anthony amendment, and Miss Charlotte Rowe, of New York, field secretary of the National association, opposed to suffrage, also were arrivals.
 Plans announced by suffrage lead CTS are to have the amendment brought before the legislature almost immediately after formal organiza- Ition. Those opposed to ratification have agreed that early action will be advisable.

OF NATl0NS' COST so FAR HAS
 BEEN S1,250,00O
U. s. May be Asked to Help Bear a Portion of the
 Expense

Washington. May S.-The expenses of the league of nations up to July will total approximately S1.25O O,OO0,. The figures will be presented to the league council at it's Rome meeting. This includes both direct and indirect expenditures, the latter covering pre- liminary costs of numerous commis- sions and other bodies, and the to- tai represents the complete organi- zation period of the league machines.
 Salaries represent the heaviest items in direct expenditures, totalling S485,000, while the international la bor office at S29O,00O ranks first among indirect costs with the com mission of inquiry to Russia second at S105000. Included in the labor office expenditure is S80,000 to pay the leagues share of the expenses of the Washington labor conference
 The council will also take up the computation of the allocation of this expenditure to the member states in conformity with rules of the univer- sal postal union, as provided in the covenant. It will be pointed out however, that due to changes in ter, ritorial lines made by the war since the postal union was organized, fair CT method of distribution of expenses probably will have to osbe found.
 On the strict application of the pos. tai union plan, eleven countries in. cluding the U. S. would be rated as first-class and liable to an assess ment of twenty-five units. In deal l ing with a budget of one million dol lars this would approximate $81 ,O0( for each state of this class.
 Still another financial matter witt which the council must deal is thar of determining the monetary unit il which future league budgets shall bs computed. The suggested forms in clude the Swiss paper franc, the gole mark or the silver mark or possibl, special league monetary unit. Thi! phase of the financial problem, how ever, is expected to be dealt with by the Brussels financial conference be fore the league takes final action.

HOOVER SUGGESTS MEANS TO REMEDY
 SUGAR SHORTAGE
RatiOning to NOn- Essentials is Advocated by Ex-FoOd
 Dictator

washington, May S.-Rationing of sugar of manufacturers of non-essen- uais and an agreement between the gUnlted States and foreign countries not to bid against each other for this commodity were suggested today by Herbert Hoover as means of reliev- ing the sugar situation.
 MT. Hoover's suggestions were con- tained in telegram to Senator Cap per, republican, Kansas, in response to one of inquiry from the Senator MT. Hoover said the government was primarily responsible for the presen, situation through the failure to pur- chase the Cuban crop.
 The present sugar position is due simply to bad business administra- ton, said MT. Hoover.
 Last September the administration could have bought the Cuban sugar. crop at six ande one-half cents . pound, for raw sugar. This would have given twelve cent sugar to oul consumers. As the result of failure E to act we are participating in tho world shortage of sugar due to de creased European production, ant ulation and profiteering. The in
 
 tiOnal tax on our people of $50 fam fly per annum.
 "The profiteering is international The situation is as much disliked b! the vast majority of our manufacture and distributors as by the public fo they do not like even to be accused of profiteering. This situation can not be remedied by the attorney gen erals conception that forces of thi character can be handled by putin, few people in jail. Something coul, be done to remedy matters if ou government even now entered int negotiations with the large Europe an governments to stop biddinI against each other and secure ou fair share of the available supplies
 'The second thing that could b done to break this gigantic bubbl of speculation would be to reduc consumption through immediate ra tioning of the hon-essential consum CTS. Over one-third of our sugar i used by the candy, sweet drinks an other manufacturers of non-essentia substitute during the war, thes z trades patriotically co-operated 1T such reduction and themselves foun, substitutes of other sweetening ma terials for the maintenance of thei { trade.
 Exportation of sugar would be pro hibited under bill introduced toda by Representative Hudspeth, demo crat, Texas. The bill would also au # thorize the federal trade commission to investigate the manufacture o sugar.
