WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Woman suffrage is not a new thing.
For many years women have had full
suffrage in some and partial suffrage
in other tates.
In 1898 suffrage was won for wo-
men in Colorado. In 1895, Utah. In
1896, Idaho. In 1910, Washington. In
1911, California. In 1912, Arizona,
Kansas and Oregon. In 1913, the ter
ritory I Alaska. In 1914, Nebraska
and Montana. In 1917, New York. In
1918, Oklahoma, Michigan and South
Dakota. Nor was that all. Begin
ming in 1918, a great campaign for
presidential suffrage was inaugural
ed That campaign ended in 1919,
with Kentucky squeezing in in 1920
for good measure. In the interim the
women of Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee,
Mississippi Ohio, Texas and Arkan-
sas (the last two have primary suff-
rage only had been empowered to
vote for the next president of the
United States, making a grand total
of 80 states, inclusive of the Is full
suffrage states, where 17,500,00O wo-
men could have taken part in the
federal elections regardless of rati-
fication of the federal suffrage amend
ment.
Women we're gradually gaining the
vote by state action but were not
and sought by federal ac-
ion to force suffrage onto the states
hat did not desire it. Hence all the
'uss and reckless violation of con-
'titutional and statute laws that we
lave witnessed of late.

OPINIONS DIFFER

Frank M. Thompson, by grace Oh
somebody aside from the people, at
torney-general for Tennessee is if the
opinion that the state constitution
has nothing to do with the actions OF
he general assembly, when hat body
is acting as federal agent.
The supreme court of the United
States is of different opinion, how
ever. A few years ago congress au-
thorized the Montana Legislature to
act as an agent of the federal gov
eminent in disposing OF certain pub
lie lands, and in so acting the legis-
lature violated the state constitution
In this case, Hare VS.. Rice, 204 u.
U. Supreme Court Reports, the court
said:
THAT Congress in designating the
Legislature as the agency in
tended such a Legislature as would
be established by the constitution OF
the state; therefore in executing the
authority entrusted to it by Congress
the Legislature must act in subordi-
nation to the state constitution"
It appears that the court did not
consult Mr.. Thompson in this case
The legislature is purely a creature
of the state constitution, and the
fact was never questioned until the
emotional craze over she voters hit
the country.

TIME MAKES LITTLE CHANGE

Novelist Booth Harrington was talk
ing about the cowardly attack that .
gang Of Germans had made on soil
tary French officer In the restaurant
Of the Hotel Adlon in Berlin.
"The Germans" he said, "were I'M
speakable in the beginning. and they
will be unspeakahle to the end"
He shook his head thoughtfully.
"People can't change" he said.

$14.00 PER DAY

The honorable members of the
Tennessee Legislature must have
concluded that they are working
for an automobile factory, an oil
company or on the railroad. Their
legal pay is, as everybody knows, 81
per day. During the late lamented
extra session they took this and
grabbed $40 day out Of the pockets
OF the taxpayers for expense money.
This made $14 day for salaries of
members. Their mileage amounted
to a bout $4,000 more, or near 5000
for these two items alone for 20 days
of the session.
Counting the other expenses, legal
and otherwise, and considering the
damage done the state by vicious
laws" enacted and unw1se and ex-
travagant appropriations, one may
safely say that the Tennessee legis-
lature has become an expensive lux
ury.
Gov. Roberts solemn1y promised
that the extra session would only
cost $4,000 to $4,000, and it cost
nearly $4,000. All money belonging
to taxpayers and thrown away.

POULTRY EXHIBITS

Reports from county agricultural
and home demonstration agents made
to Mrs. Florence Forbes, poultry
specialist of the Division OF Exten-
sion show that there is more interest
in the production of poultry in this
state than for many years. Indica-
tions now are that the poultry exhib-
it's OF the various fairs this fall will
be the best in the history Of the fairs.
Poultry raising is proving to be a
paying industry in this section and
more and more people are entering
the business in one way or another.
At practically all Of the fairs this
yeor the premium lists have been
made more attractive and will prove
one Of the big features. Another i'm
portant step in connection with the
exhibits at the county fairs is the
conducting of culling demonstra-
lions which will do a great good IN
stimulating breeders to improve their
focks.
