country districts the per capita cost OF
the navy seems to be about % cents

1.-THE federal taxes, although not so
equally distributed as local taxes, are
in total only about one-third of the
whole taxation by state and nation.
The navy absorbs about per cent OF
the federal taxation, or pa per cent
of what the taxpayer has to find to sat

do not pay large federal income taxes
contribute comparatively little TO sup

"If France does not get the help that
she needs" he declared in emotion

LEAGUE HITS AT BLANKET LAW
Legislative Program and Warning
Sent to All Members of State
Legislature.

Minneapolis Warning against
blanket legislation, which may be
introduced into the Minnesota legisla-
ture in an effort to remove with a
single sweep all sex determinations
in the law, is being issued this week
to each member of the legislature by
the League of Women Voters.
Because the league feels that such
legislation would be not only unneces.
sary, but positively harmful, in that it
would probably make void the protec-
tive laws for women in industry, it is
declaring its opposition to the bill,
should it be submitted in this state.
wisconsin has already adopted the
measure, and other states are expect
ing to consider it this winter.
