CAN A LEGISLATURE
CALL ITSELF?

In her speech at the suffrage hear
ing before the Delaware Legislature,
last Thursday, Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National Am
erican Woman Suffrage Association,
pointed out, apropos TO the Connec-
ticut Governors refusal to call q
special session to ratify the federal
suffrage amendment, that it was
quite within the possibilities for a
legislature to call itself With Mrs.
Cats broadside SO much interest
has been aroused with regard to the
proposition, that she has issued to-
Gay statement on the subject to
show on what she was basing her
,, statement when she made the sug-
gestion.
MRS. Cats statement says:
Last week the Woman Citizen
presented a brief review of the suf-
rage situation as created by the
possible attacks upon the validity of
the, federal amendment after ratifi-
cation.
1t may, however, become neces-
sary for suffragists to appeal to the
technicality of the law in their own
behalf. We are confidently expect
ing Delaware to ratify the amend =
ment. 1t is well nigh unbelievable
mat IL should hesitate, yet it has
hesitated. The anti-suffrage goyf

both men arc openly allied with the
vets and are apparently taking this
stano' not III the capacity of gov
errors OF states pledged to uphold n
republican form of government. but
as partisans in the wet and dry war
fare.
Inc legislatures are ready to rat
ify. The State Republican Commit
Tee IN Vermont and the State Re-
publican Committee in Connecticut
have requested their respective gov
ernors to call special session. The
reply is L won't
1t is curious in this land which
talks much of democracy and major
tiles, how often the stand of a single
man can block the progress of the
world. Is this final and unchange-
able? By no means.
when the need exists and a gov
ernor stubbornly and unreasonable
refuses to call a special session, the
legislature can without doubt call
itself. Otherwise mock is made OF
democracy, and autocracy, not unre-
lated to the recent brand known as
Prussian, is set up and maintained
under the protection of the consti-
tuition.

IF a Defeat, Also a Victory.

The defeat Of the suffrage amend
ment by the Delaware house of rep
resentatives will probably mean de-
feat also in the senate, and there
fore the chances Of completing rati-
fication Immediately become remote.
There are certain possibilities still
untried that may bring about favor
able action elsewhere, but it is
somewhat idle for us to speculate on
them.
We do not believe, however, that
the determined opposition which has
been so manifest in West Virginia,
Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey
and Delaware, in spite of which
West Virginia and New Jersey rati-
fed, is wholly or in the greater part
due TO the old sentimental pureju
dice against women taking part in
politics. When the truth of it is
revealed as it will be sooner or
later, the signs point to the action of
powerful influences which have had
their own reasons for rot wishing
TO be obliged to cope with the new
force in politics. Just what these
reasons are is not hard to guess
when it is recalled that tine fights for
woman suffrage and for prohibition
has been waged simultaneously and
that the two issues have more than
once been closely linked together.
Mrs. Gait, president of the National
Suffrage Association, in Il statement
which is printed elsewhere in this
issue implies most pointedly that
this is the situation in Vermont and
Connecticut where the governors
arc openly allied with the vets and
apparently taking this stand, not in
the capacity Of governors of states
pledged to uphold Republican
form Of government, bu. as parti-
sans in the wet and dry warfare"
This only serves TO strengthen
the belief that women will exert a
good influence when tnev enter
politics and that the time when
their influence is nee,led draws
steadily nearer.

Chickens come home to roost with
uncanny precision, it often seems.
Possibly a case of that kind is due to
occur in California. When Hiram
Johnson was Governor of that State
he had primary law made which
permits voters to choose their party
at the primary. This will afford
such Hoover Democrats as may exist
in that State an opportunity to vote

said to be apprehension whether the

have affected prices. The piers in

this is delayed by requirements for

Monthly Review of Business

The Federal Reserve AGENTS
monthly review of business and

reports no marked change in indus
trial conditions, but while the in
huences tending to def1ation and ul
innate decline in commodity prices
are said to be yet in operation they
have not been as Immediately effec-
tive as expected.
the backing up on this side of
goods for export, owing to cancella-
ton of orders, increased imports
from not only Europe but from Chi
ma and Japan where industries are
increasing production are factors
that inevitably must make them
selves felt, though no appreciable
downward turn in prices is vet no
ticed. In this connection the report
says:
merchants in some cases are asking
and receiving guarantees against de-
clines taking place before midsummer.
and there is indeed some professed ex-
pectation that prices in certain lines for
fall goods now in process of manufac-
those of last autumn; nevertheless
manufacturers with few exceptions as
sert the belief that the price level now
being established will represent the
maximum, an extended peak, so to
speak, with no sudden decline and with
business maintaining for some time 10
come substantially the same degree of
activity as at present"
The report expresses confidence
that drop in prices must set in be-
fore another winter but that it will
come gradually. Retail merchants
are said to be placing orders with
caution and are not responding to
suggestions that prices may rise, as
dealers expect to be able to get all
they may need whenever they may
decide to buy. These Same retailers
were six months ago, in many in
stances, willing to pay any price to
get goods.
1t is gratifying to note that the
public is at last exercising more dis
crimination-not buying regardless
OF price. Speculation is meeting
liquidation pretty well. With regard
to the labor situation there appears
to be apprehension respecting the
approaching termination of many
contracts and probable requests for
increased wages.
In the labor market there is some
what Of a shortage of able bodied
iaborers and really first class skilled
labor is scarce. A steady decline is
reported Of food stuffs, but this is
not thought to be due to expected
large crops as farm labor is scarce.
Some kinds Of canned goods move
slowly and at reduced price. While
the supply Of first grade woolens in
the hands Of the retailers is said to
be small there is reported an over
supply OF the low grade goods, there
being but little demand for that
grade.

ernor later called it himself at the
Same time and place, SO although the
legislature met and incidentally i'm
pcached the governor, no legal test
was made of the legislatures right
TO call itself.
THE legislature of Virginia last
summer called itself, but that states
constitution is phrased more liberal
ly than most. Whether any legis-
lature has called itself and its right
to do so has been tested in the
courts is at present under investi-
cation.
However, a very distinguished
lawyer gives us the confidential
opinion that a strong argument
could be made of the legality of Il
self called legislature
There is far less doubt of the le-
Sality of such Il step than of the
probable unwillirgness of legislators
to incur the disfavor of the governor
and his fractional following.
The possibility of this lead has
been we'll known to US for some
months, but since court decision
would probably be demanded to
prove it's constitutionality, we have
taken the stand that it must not be
applied except as a last resort.
Hope is not eXhaused that the
two Republican wet governors of
New England will follow the eX-
ample of the two Democratic wet
governors of New York and New
Jersey. and realize that the wet and
dry fight has no connection with the
demand that government purport
ing to be by the people shall be a
government by the people and not
by half of them"
