MUST HAVE POLL TAX RECEIPT
Otherwise No Arkansas Woman Can
Vote in Fall Election.

Little Rock, Sept. GA woman
must have poll tax receipt if she ex-
poets to cast vote in the general
election next November.
This is the positive and final ruling
OF Attorney General John B. Arbuckle
on the subject. Suffrage leaders had
contended that since the Suffrage
Amendment had become effective
since the time for closing assessments
for poll taxes, women occupied the
same. POSITION with regard to the
franchise as that occupied by young
men who attained their majority af-
ter the time for the payment Of their
poll taxes. Such men are permitted
to vote without a poll tax RECENT. but
this is specific provision of the law.
There is no such provision for women
and therefore those who have failed
to pay their poll taxes cannot vote.

For the first time in the history of
Arkansas politics, women served on
an equal footing with the men in the
recent session of this Democratic
State Convention. There were women
on every committee appointed and pro-
visions were made for the election
of one woman member from each
Congressional District on the State
Central Committee. Attention, how
ever had been called to an oversight
on the part of the Convention man.
ayers, which has been criticized by
the leaders among the women. It is
noted that no reference whatever is
made in the platform of the ratifica-
ton the amendment enfranchising
women, the only indirect reference
being in the plank endorsing the
three proposed amendments to the
constitution, one of which provides for
equal franchise. 1t is also noted that
in the selection of convention officers.
no women were appointed in any ca
pacity, no reference was made in the
keynote speeches and no mere man
ever spoke of the enfranchisement of
women. 1t is contended on the part of
the lords of creation that this was an
oversight and that no discourtesy was
intended to thes newly enfranchised
half of the electorate.

er and return to conditions which ex-
listed prior to their creation.

An important question has arisen in
connection with the suggestion that
the Corporation Commission be abol-
ished. Should this be done, what will
be the status of public utility corpor-
ations operating under the terms of
the law creating the Commission? 1t
has been asserted by some that, if the
commission be abolished, the corpor-
atoms. which have received charters
or indeterminate permits from the
commission will be entirely free from
any regulative power. Others contend
that such corporations would return
automatically to the conditions ex-
istent prior to the creation of the
commission and that it would be nee
essary for them again to secure chart
ers from the State government as
formerly provided. This is a matter
of course that must be worked out by
the lawmakers next winter.

MICHIGAN JUNIORS
ACTIVE THIS YEAR

The Junior Red Cross committees In
Michigan are busy as the school year
advances, with programs of direct
benefit to communities and with
humanitarian undertakings, notably In
the smaller communities.
In connection with the domestic ac-
tivities, Juniors in manual training
schools and also in schools not
equipped with manual training are
making toys for the play-starved
Youngsters in the war-wrecked area Of
he old world. All the schools In
which the Juniors are organized are
full swing, carrying out their gen.

Michigan now has 1900 Junior Red

SOILS EXPERT CALLED TO MA.
TIONAL MEETING
Important Developments Will be Dis.
cussed Before Big Conference by
DR.. McCool of M. A. c.

East Lansing, Nov. 2.-Important
contributions made by Michigan to
the field of scientific soils work, with
especial reference to modern soil sur
vey methods, will be discussed before
the next meeting of the recently or
ganized National Association of Soil
Workers by DR.. M. M. McCool, head
of the soils department at the Michi-
gan Agricultural College. The meet
ing, which will be held in Chicago in
the near future, will bring together
experts from ali over the country,
and DR.. McCool's selection as speak
er is taken as recognition of the lead
ing part Michigan has taken in mod
ern soil work during recent years.
To avoid duplication in soils work
and stimulate interest by bringing to-
|gether men from all parts of the field,
is the purpose of the newly organized
national body of soils workers. Real
ization of the fact that soil fertility
is the greatest of our national re-
sources and the basis of our agricul-
ture is placing increased emphasis on
the Importance of soil investigation
and demonstration.
Michigan has taken a leading part
in the work of recent years, members
of the soils staff at M. A. c. having
done outstanding work in special
fields. Investigations on soil tenn
perature and moisture and the ef-
feet of different fertilizers on differ
ent types Of soil, are among the fields
in which the Michigan workers have
taken the lead in the entire country.

Nowhere was there any question as
to the result. Every precinct, from
the smallest to the largest, showed an
overwhelming Harding and Groesbeck
vote. Similarly, every precinct except
q few in the Thumb district, showed a
heavy vote against the school amend
ment.
The returns, coming in slowly from
the start, continued to lag because OF
the tremendously heavy vote.
The weather, by no means "Repub.

people from the polls. In Detroit the

The large turnout Of voters Is
