WOMEN DENIED !
VOTE DUE TO
REGISTRATION
WASHINGTON, April 1 (by Associ
ated Press).—Women in several states
may be denied a vote in the coming
presidential election despite ratifica
tion of the suffrage amendment before
November, it is said at the headquar-,
ters of the National Woman’s party
here, unless changes are made in the
registration laws.
*3® order that women all over the
United States may register for the
coming November election under ex
isting laws, ratification must be com
pleted before May 1. 1920, on which
date Georgia closes its registration.
Excluding Georgia, the next date is
June 30, when registration closes in
Rhode Island. Registration in all
other states does not close until Sep
tember or October, by which time, suf
frage leaders are confident, the
amendment will be ratified.
Other requirements, however, beside
the element of time may nullify the
women’s vote next November in cer
tain of the states, especially in the
South, unless the legislatures are will
ing to make necessary changes in the
laws. Payment of a poll tax is re
quired in eight of the states; in Vir
ginia over a period of three years be
fore the election, and in Florida and
Louisiana for the two years previous.
Texavlaw calls for the payment of a
poll tax on January 1, Alabama and
Mississippi on February 1, and North
Carolina and South Carolina on May 1.
Pressure will be brought to bear
upon the legislatures, where neces
sary, to have registration reopened
and the laws modified, it is said here,
but women political leaders hope the
changes will be accomplished without
difficulty. In states where women
have not heretofore been given the
privilege of fulfilling the necessary re
quirements, provision should be made
for them to go to the polls this No
vember if the amendment is ratified
in time, they assert.
No opposition to the operation of the
suffrage amendment in strongly anti
suffrage states, similar to tactics em
ployed in the South to limit the negro
t vote after the passage of the fifteenth
amendment, is considered likely by
suffragists here.
WAR VETERANS OF CANADA
* WILL SOON OWN FARMS
VANCOUVER, B. C., April 1 (by As
sociated Press).—-About 300 Canadian
war veterans who founded and popu
lated a community farming settlement
at Merville have cleared enough land
to lay out ten farms of forty acres
each, and soon will draw lots for the
farms, so that the owmers can start
the spring planting.
When the veterans returned from
England they induced the British Co
lumbia provincial government to buy
for them 14,000 acres of wild land on
the hills overlooking the Courtenay
valley, a fertrile section of Vancouver
island. Douglass pine trees were
thiek on the land, and since the men
west on it they have been busy clear
ing away the big timber and under
brush. For this the government paid
them a daily wage of $4 and supplied
them with dynamite and tools.
^Pply one in four of the men who
enrolled in the scheme has quit. A
community store has been established
on the land and the veterans declare
they will continue their venture until
all have obtained farms.
