Mr. Avery took up the inventory
and went through it explaining and
answering questions. He advised the
listers to take notice that there has
been tremendous increase in the val
ue of real estate. particularly in The
larger towns and the old valuations
are unjust 10 those who pay poli-tax
only or on personal property.
one question asked raised question
which the commissioner said would
take little time 20 investigate before
he can answer. The question was
whether it will be necessary to list
the women Il years of age and up
wards provided the federal suffrage
amendment is ratified by 36 states.
There was some difference of opinion
ON This issue. IL is held by some thai
the federal amendment makes it un-
lawful TO discriminate in any way be-
cause OF sex and that the listers viii
have TO list the women as the federal
law supercedes state law.

crook and gambler. He readily con-
sents and within a few hours finds

are probably overlooking bet In not
Immediately pressing the advantage
given them by the Greek election. BY
their votes for deputies. the people were
supposed to indicate their wishes as to
tho return Of Constantine and the party
opposed to his return was defeated.
Now, Gounnris says that the Constan-
tine party will await direct vote by
the people on the question Of whether
Constantine shall return. This sounds
like the overconfidence born of the flush
Of victory. The people of Greece may
have voted more against the Fenizelos
party than for the deposed king and
when It comes to direct vote for or
against, he may lose by even q greater
majority than that against Venizelos.
II Is always safest to take what the
people have apparently sanctioned,
without asking them to say yes" the
second time. Having expressed their
objections to the Venizelist policies. the
people may decide that they do not want
Constantine after all. Such a develop
ment would no doubt cause Mr.. Goun-
arts to regret his little flourish for some
time.
