tea, coffee and women's clothing
to the bill as "luxuries" in an
effort to either get it to produce
more revenue or to make it less
acceptable to the retail mcr-
chants and the public.
What the finance sub-commit-
tee is doing or intends to do is
still enshrOuded in deep mystery.
A week or so ago it was general
lv conceded that this committee
would bring out a new revenue
bill containing at least a 3 per
cent general sales tax on retail
sales. But there has been such a
strong reaction against gen
eral sales tax from all sections
of the state during the past week
that some reports are that the
subcommittee has already gotten
cold feet and is backing water.
Some believe it will now pass
the sales tax question on to the
full committee and let it decide
what type of sales tax, if any,
shall be recommended.
There was and still is a good
deal of sentiment to the effect
that the subcommittee was
"stacked" in favor Of the gen
cral retail sales tax. The mem
bcrs know this. SO they may
retaliatc by dumping the whole
sales tax controversy back into
the lap of the joint committees

with the bill to abolish the cor

iuggled bill of the present SEES
sion of the general assembly. AL
though so-called substitute

senate, the upper house is not
vet through with the bill and in
dications are that it will finally
find itself back in the hands of
senate committee for revision,
At. any rate, it is now regard
ed as reasonably certain that the
bill as it was rewritten by SEN
ate judiciary committee No. 2
has little chance Of enactment in
it's present form. The bill or
iginated in the house and as il
was originally drawn it repealed
the present law requiring appli'
cants for a marriage license to
stand medical examination. II
was changed by the senate com
mittee to give applicants the al
formative of making an affidavit
that they have not had tubercu-
losis or social disease within
two years, or else to present q

l. Amazingly so. Edward A..
Ross, sociologist of University of
Wisconsin, has shown that peasant
women who are compelled to work
in the fields are broad backed,
broad-hipped, squat, ugly and
strong. Why? Because men who
permit their women to become
beasts of burden admire that type
Of women, marry them and rear
their daughters like them.
The few delicate, dainty, beauti-
full daughters that are born die
from the crushing toll. Very soon
this process establishes race of
square-built, homely women But
when a change comes in marriage
selection, this soon shows in the
increased loneliness Of the women.
