WOMAN, DEMANDING EQUAL RIGHTS WITH MAN.
d POINTS TO LAWS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST HER
BY HAROLD b. MATSON
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Feb. ITO the mill
tant feminist man is villain.
He is accused of gigantic con
spiracy against woman, fOrbiddinc
her to enjoy the privileges that are
his.
When the feminists, under the
banner of the National Woman
Party, started their fight Cor equal
rights they thought they could con-
vince man with the logic o. their
claims. But in some 40 legislatures
last year the lawmakers .displ,..! ed
little sympathy for the plea against
discriminatory laws, responding that
those laws we're protective.
So, proceeding on the premise that
man is an unreasonable sort of cuss,
the women are gathering evidence to
prove their argument.
Laws COdified
For this work of combing every
state code and constitution for what
the party calls discriminatory, leGis-
lation," and codifying all under that
head, the party chose Miss Einma
Void, long connected with suffragist
activities.
Miss Void first decided to become
an attorney, the better to under
stand the intricacies of law. She
studied law nights, while her party
duties kept her busy during the days.
Now she is member Of the Su-
prcmc Court Bar in the District of
Columbia.
Her search for discriminatory leg
islation has resulted in a mass of
volumes upon volumes of such laws.
In various states, she found,
fathers have complete control over
their children, the earnings of a
wife legally belong to the husband,
women cannot serve on juries, di-
vorce laws are partial to men,
fathers can will away children from
mothers, married women are classed
with children and insane as unable
to contract on their own response
biIity, and the husband can collect
money damages when his wife is NJ
jured. Other determinations arc
cited. Sc
Their Demand
ave want equal rights" say the
women. 1--WE don't want to suffer
handicaps placed upon US by law and
custom. We don't want to be barred
from any industry open to man.
1--WE know there are some things
beyond our strength, but there need
be no law about it."
SO Congress is asked to adopt the
Lucretia Mott constitutional amend
ment. 1t declares:
"Men and women shall have equal
rights through the United States
and every place subject to its juris-
diction."
That is all.

$602,527 WOLF
BOUNTY PAIDIN
NORTH DAKOTA
Covers Period of Is Years;
Figures Given by A. C..
Biologist

Fargo, N. D., Feb. ,2.-North Da-
kota has paid out $602,527 in the
past twenty-five years for bounty on
wolves and coyotes, says r. S. Zim-
norman, assistant biologist at the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
This amounts to an average yearly
payment of $24 ,101 toward the exter-
mination Of these predatory animals.
..'The yearly loss to livestock and
poultry caused by the predatory an
imals in the United States amounts
to about Is million dollars" declares
Mr.. Zimmerman. "This is direct
drain on the livestock industry" he
adds. "The loss of a sheep here and
there picked up by some proving
animal or the destruction of a few
acres of grain by rodents perhaps
does not seem to be appalling but
when it is common occurrence
throughout the state it is time to
wonder what can be done to prevent
such loss"
In an effort to help the states to
exterminate these animal pests the
United States department of Agri-
culture through the biological bureau
has been cooperating with the farm
ers and -stockmen of the country, ac-
cording to Mr.. Zimmerman.
"The number Of coyotes, bobcats,
wolves and mountain lions taken
since this cooperation has been un-
der way runs up into the tens Of
thousands, while the number of in
Tested acres treated for the control
of ground squirrels, prairie dogs,
pocket gophers and jackrabbits runs
into the millions" the biologist
states. s
"The bounty system is being re-
placed in many states by appropri-
atoms for organized poison cam
paigns as the paying Of bounty to
encourage the destruction of rodent
pests and predatory animals has not
proven to he IAN adequate means Of
control. Thirteen state legislatures
have recently scooperated with the
federal bureau by passing appropri-
alton bills calling for poison cam
paigns."
South Dakota has recently appro-
priated $4,000 and Missouri SIC, 900.
Other states cooperating with the
department are Arizona, Arkansas,

Cylinder
ECONOMY

If in two weeks operation of
your tractor you can make a
saving on fuel and lubricat-
ing oil to more than pay for
having your cylinders re-
ground, is not regrinding a
real economy? Many owners
are reporting just such saw
ings. Figure it up! A saw
ing of probably $3.50 on fuel
and from $50 to 1870 on lu-
bricating oil amounts to a lot
ION only a weeks operation.
Then consider the time lost
and expense incurred when
you are busy if you have to
stop and make repairs. When
cylinders are reground and
properly fitted with new PTS
tons and rings, full compress
sion is obtained. The lubri-
eating oil does not work past
the rings to be burned in the
combustion chamber, nor is
power lost by leaking into
the crankcase. These saw
ings. very apparent in the
operation of your tractor, are
cOrrespondingly important
with, your truck or passenger .
car, though not so noticeable. !
Regrinding Is An Invest :
nient-Not An Expense
The cost of regrinding is
n1dny times repaid by the
savings effected. In the long
run a regrinding job is the
hest paying investment.
Other repairs are temporary
at hest and only tend to
greatly increase the cost of
maintenance.

TNPERIAL'S ANSWER

Probably never before in the history of California

was rendered Monday to Congressman Phil D. Swing

that Imperial County wants the All-Amercan canal
and desires returned to congress the author of the
Boulder Canyon bill.
All eyes have been on Imperial Valley since varl-
Gus interests opposed to Mr.. Swing threw smoke
about the canal feature of the BILL and sought to
convince the rest of the district that the people of I'M

So Imperial moved to San Diego, the center of the
fight against Mr.. Swing, and there told San Diego
who it wants for congressman.
