WOMEN DEBATE
WHETHER TO GO
INTO CAMPAIGN

Baltimore, Md. April 26.-The
difficult problem of whether the
National League of Women Voters
shall get into politics." by en-
dorsing or opposing candidates for
political office was on the pro-
gram for consideration today at
the leagues annual convention
here. A debate OF the liveliest
character was anticipated. Miss
Mary Garrett Hay of New York,
Mrs. Solon Jacobs Of Alabama and
Miss Helen Benbridge Of Indiana
were selected as leaders Of the
discussion in the order named.
Preceding the consideration OF
this subject. the convention fin
ished with its long list Of commit
tee reports and recommendations.
Among the reports presented
was one on THE year In ton-
gress' by Miss Marian !. Park
hurst. Recording the achieve
ments Of the league In obtaining
national and state legislation for
the benefit of womRnkind the re-
port gave first place to the pass
age by congress Of the Sheppard
Towner maternity bill. for the en-
actment of which the league con-
centrated its strongest efforts.
Other notable accomplishments
for which the report gave credit to
the league was obtaining an APP
preparation from congress for
carrying on the inter-department-
al social hygiene work and maxi
ing up permanent the women's bu-
reau In industry, which had been
established as war emergency
bureau.
In states which had legislative
sessions during the year that has
elapsed since the last convention,
232 laws were passed directly
traceable to the efforts OF the
league. These laws were along
the lines of the program mapped
out at the Cleveland convention
last year. Acceptance Of the
Sheppard -Towner act. raising the
age OF consent and making women
eligible for political office were
included among them.

Barometer of Public Opinion
Revealing n Little Of H..

After more than seven months OF effort, I
hay" finally gotten little action out Y the
school land department of oklahoma.
A month ago I said that ln / 8 years 10 has made
no report which revealed an the facts az 20 Its
condiuon-that II during these 10 years It's af-
fairs have been examined, the results OF that
examination have been carefully concealed.
Since then tho state examiner and inspector
has been digging a little deeper into the per-
fuuctory 'audlt Of the books OF this depart
mcnt, which he makes semi annually.
lio has revealed little of the true situation.
ana - reported as saying. Interest amounting
to a2i30G.10 iA delinquent on 3i6 loans but on
only 81 loans - it delinquent over ono pay
mcnts arc delinquent foreclosure proceedings
have been ordered, There are 5j FORECLOSURES
ln process
that's got,iuq toward It
Now 10 hc VIII tell US how macy foreclosures
hnyc been completed and how much poor land
the state has acquired through foreclosure OF
loans made from school funds. We N.ll be get
ting further along townrd an understanding o'
the true condition of the states school FUNDS.
Then 10 We knew the number Of farms mort
gagged 20 secure loans on which taxes are de-
nupucnt wo'd be stll farther along toward
what au actual examination instead Of per
mnctory audit will show.
But we should be thankful for a little. farm
mortgage company which had SO mortgage
foreclosures In process and $40 more coming
along and rpcuiug up would be well on the way
toward rcc"ivership and bankruptcy
SO / repeat, Il confess very definite desire
TO have a long. careful look at the books of the
school land d"partmcnt--to have complete
audit made OF every Transaction since Novem-
bor, 1907, ana to tell the folks exactly what is
found. so they may know the TRUTH
And / have another positive longing II Is TO
make political land spectators pay up the
loans which they have obtained at per cent
from state school funds. ana 20 lend them
thereafter only 20 persons actually engaged or
soon 20 become engaged IN the cultivation Of
the land mortgaged--to persons whose prin-
cipa vocation Is farming and whose principal
income IN derived from agriculture.
II will take a lot Of investigation TO separate
the loans to land speculators from loans 70
farmers
when asked for a statement showing the num-
Der and aggregate amount OF outstanding farm
LOANS made TO persons not living on the land
rnortgaBed to secure the loans the secretary, to
the commissioners OF the land office replied 1T
ls impossible for me to give you tho Information
for which you ask. for the reason that the law
does not require borrowers to live on the land
and we do not have the information in our
records"
SO there you are.
That's the way the school land department has
bcrn giving farmers the preference for the
last - years.--John Fields
