April Z, 1900.
Honorable Franklin d. Roosevelt,
President Of the United States,
Washington, d. c.,
Dear President Roosevelt:
| am writing you for consideration re-
garding two paramount issues con-
fronting our country today. What
a be done regarding employment for
men 40 years Of age and above?-
and what consideration relative to a
sufficient wage for the proper living
expenses can be given to our labor
ing class of women?
1t was once thought man is never
at his best until he reaches the age
Of 40 or above. Realizing this is true
when | look upon our chief executive
es Of the nation, such as the presi-
dents, senators and governors. Men
who are settled and firm in their
thoughts; efficient and reliable re-
garding their work.
They may not be as active physic-
ally. or have the ability relative to
their anatomical mechanism as a
young man, but are more active men,
tally and stable in their thoughts. |
am not speaking in regards to doing
away with the young man. for | real
he too deserves consideration. but
| I'm primarily speaking in behalf of
the working class Of men this age and
above, who are the last to be consid-
cred for employment. and the first to
be discharged regardless of how
many years of service. often without
any consideration whatsoever.
realize you are overloaded with
different transactions, but from the
very fact you have carried out so
many situations with ease and pleas
ure, that required a greater amount
Of thinking to bring about a rectific-
alton than the situations | am bring
ing to you at this time, gives the A.
merican people confidence in you to
the extent something will be done rel
ative to the above conditions. This
viii mean a more prosperous and
happy nation; independence and en-
enlargement to these groups.
/ realize the economic depression
has caused a decrease in all lines of
employment but it often has not been
the case regarding the cost of living
expenses. The wage the average -
boring woman receives today is often
unable to provide n-ecessaries for a
living, in the form of food. clothing
and shelter. Such situations often
causing Immortality in every form, Sc
auctions to the opposite sex. robber-
les, etc, in order that assistance may
be secured, or even the bringing of
an end to it all suicide! If wages were
in proportion to thir living expenses,
it would help and save many of our
women and girls.
| am hoping you will consider the
above situations in accordance to their
Importance to these groups, and if
you will give it your greatest sup
port. rectification can be easily
brought about.
Thanking you very much for your
consideration and the monopolizing of
your most precious time, l am
Respectfully yours.

FILLING A NEEDS

NEW YORK, September 13-Old-
timers in Wall Street admit that the
times must be bit fuzzy when some
sections of the financial district con-
slider seriously the proposal that the
stock exchange move to q city outside
New York State In order to escape
heavy new taxation.
Offers have already come in from
Newark, Wilmington and other cities,
citing favorable locations and other ad-
vantages for the exchange II 1t seeks a
haven from the high tax bludgeon.
Brokers have been more voluble about
the possibility Of moving the exchange.
however, than officials of that institu-
ton. When Richard Whitney, president
Of the exchange, appeared before the tax
hearing In city hall he did not say that
the exchange was seriously considering
the question Of removal to another State
He declared the exchange would prefer
to remain In New York, but added that
the proposed per cent gross tax on
security traders would drive business to
established exchanges in other cities.
The immense investment in real
cSJdIt, uuuOlIlsS anu equipment, uOt
only ry the exchange itself but by hun
dreds of brokerage and banking houses
here, would seem to argue against any
project to move the Nations financial
nerve center out of New York City.
Higher taxes would restrict volume of
trading on the exchange here. but
brokers would establish branches in
other cities to enable them to handle
orders through outside established ex-
changes.
