and one Of the first governments in
the world to give women every legal
right possessed by male citizens.
1t guarantees them the same privi-

residence for voting purposes, jury ser.
vice, holding office, holding and con-
veying property, care and custody of
children and all other respects.
In every statute where the mascu.
line form is used it is to be under
stood to include the feminine, except
where such construction would conflict
with special protection now enjoyed.
This means that women havv -or
only equal rights but also special privi-

SAYS Forbes MAGAZINE
PROTECTS PR0F|TEERS

Parrot propaganda" says the Lo-
connective Firemen and Enginemen's
Magazine in discussing a screed
against railroad employees by B. C.
Forbes, editor Of Forbes Magazine.
1T is is all the same line Of bunk"
says Editor McNamee, that was
handed to the public when govern
nent ownership is a failuze!' was the
slogan adopted by the advertising en-
gineers,' who worked so. assiduously in
the campaign to put over the financial
program of the money zings-and the
public was sold. Yes. sold in every
implied acceptance of the term.
Mr.. Forbes outburst is the same
kind Of dope that was peddled under
the car shortage slogan that was fol-
lowed by the coal shortage slogan
and a billion dollars or so were taken
from the pockets of the dear public.
for which Mr.. Forbes poses as spokes-
man and defender.
but in his solicitous concern for
the dear public, and in all his unwar-
ranted criticism of the railroad work.
ers Mr.. Forbes does not advocate a
reduction of freight and passenger
rates in favor of the public: he does
not give the public any light on the
gross mismanagement and manipula-
ton that has piled sky high the trans
portation expenses, nor does he sug-
gest that the squeezing out Of few
billion dollars Of water would reduce
the guarantee the public has to pay
railroads by several hundred million
dollars year."

PROPOSED TAX SALES

John P. Frey, editor Of the Inter-

that trade unionists awake to the
importance of the proposed sales tax.
now advocated in Washington, as a.
means Of raising national taxes. The
unionist says:
What certain group Of repre-
sentatives are attempting in congress
is nothing less than removing the
excess profits tax now paid by manu-
facturers and placing the burden di-
rectly upon consumers. Such a tax
would make the wage earners heavier
burden bearers than before, and
would exempt those most able to
pay proper tax from assuming such
an obligation.
1.-THE sales tax bill Is an effort on
the part Of certain financial interests
to secure exemption from taxation
and to have their burden shifted to
consumers so that the government
may gather a direct tax from every
wage Garner. each time they purchase
