Governor Signs
Suffrage Act
In Oklahoma
Federal Amendment Now
Indersed by Thirty-three
States; Only Three More
Needed for Adoption
Referendum Split Ends
House Completes Ratifica.
ton With Elimination
of the Emergency Clause

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. 2s---
Completion to-day of Oklahoma's rati-
Acation Of the Susan B. Anthony suf-
frage amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution brought the total Of indors-
ing states to thirtythree and left the
approval of only three necessary for
the adoption Of the amendment.
To complete ratification before ad-
1ournment tonight the House to-day
swung into line with the Senate's a.
tion of Yesterday and agreed to accept
che ratification resolution amended by
the elimination of the emergency
clause which the House had previousy y
put on to prevent the submission Of
the question to the people by referen-
dun. Governor j. B. A. Robertson
signed the measure this afternoon.
Declaring it was impossible to get
In the Senate the thirty votes neces-
sary to pass the ratification resolution
with the emergency clause, Bert C.
Hodges, of Okmulgee, suffrage leader
in the House of Representatives moved
as passed by the Senate without the
clause. The House passed the resolu-
tion by vote Of 76 to q, with twenty
four absent.
1t is planned to send certified copies
of the signed resolution to President
Wilson. the Secretary Of State of the
United States and the presiding officers
Of the National Senate and House of
Representatives.
Anti-sutfrage Senators said they
would not take part in effotrs that
may be made to circulate petitions 10
refer the question to vote of the peo-
pie. If it is referred, they said, they
would use their influence to prevent
a vote favorable to suffrage.
Argument was prolonged in the cor
ridors of the Capitol as to whether
the ratification of nationll constitu-
tional amendment is referable. The
question presents two issues. it is said,
one being as to whether the question
is referable under the state constitu-
tion, which may come up for decision
by the state courts, and the other as
to whether the national Constitution
will hold valid the results of refer
endum after the Legislature itself has
made decision.

Bill Aims to Protect
Citizenship of Women
Americans, Marrying Aliens
Would Retain Rights if Re-
manning in u. s.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-It is high
timo to get away from the old idea that
the wife is the chattel of the husband,
Representative Rogers, Republican, Of
Massachusetts,, told the House Immigra-
tion Committee to-day, in urging enact
ment Of law under which American
women, marrying aliens and remaining
in this country, would retain their cit
izenship after adoption Of the suffrage
amendment
Mr.. Rogers declared his measure did
not protect wealthy american title
hunters" adding that he was not IN
terested in extending the right Of cit
izenship "to women who think so little
Of it that they go abroad to live"
In pointing out that his measure
would not give the right of citizenship
to an alien woman marrying an Amer
ican, Mr.. Rogers said this was done so
that to be naturalized "a woman would
have to go through the same machinery
with the man."
Mrs. Maude Wood Park, president %
the National League Of Women Voters
indorsed the Rogers bill, declaring it
"eminently fair to Americans"

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 2S.--
Expecting that the resolution to ratify
the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amend
nent would come up for passage when
the Senate convened to-day, the antis
were primed for battle, but were taken
by surprise when Senator Harvey w.
Harmer, leader for the suffrage side,
imm ediately moved for adjournment
until Monday.
Indications tonight are that the
Senate will be little better than
$3.50 on suffrage. The ants are claim
ing victory, but are giving no figures,
while the suffrage leaders insist that
they can count on not less than fifteen
Of the twenty-eight Senators, and are
hoping for sixteen.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican party, would arrive here Sun
day night or Monday morning in an
effort to line up the Republicans who
are opposing suffrage.

talk sanity and sense and it is evident
that the league Of nations is not only a
fact, but it is satisfactory to those who
are in it. and that Bolsheyik Russia, Tur-
key, Mexico, and America will soon be
the only countries on the outside looking
in.
Casting aside all prejudice we must face
the fact that it is evident that one of the
first propositions of the leaguers is a re-
duction of military expenditures and that
the extent of this reduction is dependent
to great degree upon mutual under
standing for disarmament
Can we afford to stand before the world
as the Prussia of this reconstruction
period of the world?
Whether we Join the league or not we
can cooperate with the family of nations
in Kidding the world of its greatest finan-
cial burden. We need the money now
spent for possible wars to construct a bet
ter world.
Turn the money represented in the %
per cent of our national budget into new
channels so that our education may be
improved, our health conserved, and cur
means of transportation perfected and
we shall not only see our bonds and
stocks worth more, but the whole people
made happy and prosperous.
Sincerely yours,

MILITARY BURDEN
Whether This Country Joins League or
Not it Should Help in This Respect,
SAYS Mortified Resident.
Editor of The Reformer:

Editor of The Reformer:
As | picked up The Reformer this eve
ming and read David Lawrence's. letter l

YOU with communication before, but |
am moved to ask you for a little space at
this time. ..... ....s z.s.r--.. E
There are two matters which. affect
practically every person in the United
States at the present time, i. e, taxes and
values.
As Mr.. Lawrence states, The pressure
from all parts of the United States for n
reduction of taxes is so overwhelming
that the Republican congress which meets
next month will find it necessary to ma e
n start upon the problem even before the
next Republican president takes office. w
There is, as Mr.. Lawrence indicates, a
similar demand for the resumption of
values. We have become nation of cap
italists but who knows the true value of
his holdings whether in Liberty bonds,
Industrial stocks, or real estate?
The value of Mr.. Lawrences letter lies
in its suggestivenesS as to the way out of
our difficulties. When he says that dis
armament is the single remedy which one
hears in official Washington" he is echo
ing the sentiment of vast number of
common Americans.
His remark gains weight when we con
slider the statement just issued by DIR. II.
Il. Rosa, United states bureau OF SldHu-
ards, Washington, u. c. DIR. Rosa has
been making an analysis of our national
budget and he is the authority for the
statement that 90 cents out of every dollar
of Uncle Sans money this year goes for
war-past, present, or to come.
The past is gone, the present is not alto
gether beyond our control, and the future
il the result of our choice.
According to the analysis quoted our
national budget represents a tax of $50
upon every man. woman and child in this
country. Worse yet is the fact that
$3.50 of this tax goes for militarism in
some form or other, while only 30 cents
goes for education and the Improvement
of public health.
The proposed compulsory military
training' hill. if passed, will add an add-
tional SLIPS. 100000 per year to this bur
den. to say nothing of the big navy propO-
aition.
