Assertions by several well known magazine writer. investigation has revealed that woman suffrage is a failure, that women are not interested in politics, that women will not vote for women, and that, in short, suffrage leaders won a battle for the ballot only to find it little used, have stirred much discussion in eastern magazines. That there is much truth in the declaration that there is apathy among women voters cannot be denied. The state- ment is not as true of North Dakota as of many of the older states in the East, for when the votes of men and women were counted separately in this state it was shown that a large percentage of the women did vote. It was true also that their large vote proportionately was due to the parti ularly heated campaigns in the state, which extended far beyond the range of ordinary political strife and is not a guide for the future. The lack of women votes in school elections and in many city elections has been evidence that a great many have no desire for the ballot and are not inter- ested in politics. But the fact that all women do not vote is not alone proof that woman suffrage is a failure. For although political discussion has been a natural topic of discussion for men in clubs and in other groups since the nation was founded, the men’s vote in any election as compared to the total eligible to the ballot is discouragingly low. Woman suffrage has had an effect on the nation, on states and on cities. It has been evident in North Dakota. Their vote stands as an ominous foreboding to many legis- lators and officials who are easily swayed by popular opin- ion, or, fear to incur the enmity of powerful minorities. Women’s organizations probably have accomplished more minority legislation through the vigor of their lobbies and the threat of retaliation, than men’s organizations. Women are interested in legislative enactments which affect their own sphere. The experience of many officials with women’s: organizations has led to the assertion that these, women voters often are swayed by prejudice and enthus in seeking to attain their objective fail to take a compre- hens:ve view of the whole problem of government. There ; 7s no denying that such organizations are positive and in- sistent in their campaigns, but withal courteous and woman- ly. Nor can it be denied that women in politics are ani- mated by the highest motives. It can be said with truthi and without aspersion that women have not accomplished* with the ballot what was generally expected; but those who, have seen intelligent women in action in public affairs are quite ready to predict that their influence will grow instead of wane in the future. WATCH YOUR, ASSESSMENTS Indifference of taxpayers to their rights in protesting against assessments of real and personal property adds to their burdens. Assessments for tax levies due next year are being made now. Every taxpayer should see to it that ; he gets an equitable assessment either by getting in touch | with the assessor or appearing before the board of city com- missioners when it sits as a board of equalization to hear complaints. | It is not always the fault of the tax authorities when errors are committed, but it is the fault of the tax payer if his house is assessed at $6,000 and some palatial home escapes with an assessment of $1,600. Look up the assess- | ment placed upon your home and then compare it with others on the list and especially with homes whose values you know. Some grave errors have crept up through the years in the matter of assessments especially on homes. Members of the city commission have stated that efforts will be made this year to correct any glaring errors in fixing valu- ations. Also it is their intention to see that all structures find their way to the tax rolls to that end that in making more general and more equitable the assessment, the indi- vidual tax may be less and still sufficient funds raised to Tun the city government. Don’t let the matter of checking up your assessment run beyond June and if you feel an injustice has been done, appear before the city commission when it sits as a board of equalization and help them to make the necessary adjust- ments. After these figures leave the city commission, the legal red tape of getting an adjustment is greater and the chances of abatement’ harder because the responsibility rests with the city commission to get a fair and scientific assessment of all property so that every taxpayer is in on the same hasis and no favor or special privilege shown anyone. Now is the time to safeguard against injustices and discrimin- ations.

The address may well be taken as a keynote for the coming campaign. With Congress organized as it is with Republicans in the minority in both houses and the opposition at- tempting to play partisan politics to he limit, judgment cannot be based upon legislative accomplishment but must be considered in the light of forces. The President has attempted to se- cure the passage of the Mellon tax reduction program which would not only reduce income taxes but would help all business, It is purely a nonpartisan measure designed solely for the benefit of all the people. The vast majority of the people are de- manding its passage. If it even- tual it will be because the Adm ration has stood firm for it, , and if it fails, it will not be because of the lack of Republican support. Senator Pepper! Wlso points to the that the Administration stands a pledged to maintain the tariff, to a'@ program for sound the pa ment, to adequate restriction of im- migration, to the upholding of the Supreme Court and the Constitution.
