PROPOSED BILLS CONSIDERED
Judge Bordwell Advocates a Law
Creating Divorce Examiner
to Probe Cases
(Ccntlnued from r«» o»«l
began her speech. In a well modulated
voice and In n manner free and un
nft'ucted, the suffrage champion pre
sented her reasons.
"I have been asked not to present
argument! for woman suffrage be
cause you havo already pledged your
selves In your platform to submit tba
question to the vote of tin; people,"
s-aid the speaker, "but 1 COrtß to ask
you to put tin; Barne energy, enthusi
aam^and bard work into this bin that
JTOU put into other measures
"Surely you recognize the need of
giving tile women the biillot and the
i-iKht to a voice in her affairs. 1 »ay
tills in tiic- face of petitions which
you have received to the contrary,
which represent only a very small
minority of women.
"The women in the homes, in the
schools and in professional and busi
ness life demand that they be given a
right to participate In, the making of
the laws which they have to obey.
"Women who havo entered the field
of men need laws of which men have
little understanding. Women in storeß
are in neod of laws to protect them
from grinding conditions of which only
\wnmen know.
"Although womon are now in the
business world, nothing will over
change their desire to marry and to
hold in their arms their own chil
dren."
'Women have their failing?," she
admitted, "as we are sometimes re
minded by the men, but if you give
us the ballot we will learn how to care
fur it, even as you have.
WOMEN WANT JI'STK'E
Women don't want to bo placed on
a pedestal; she wants to be accorded
Mmplo justice; not treated generously
or chivalrously, but as a human be
int,' capable of the exercise of her
rlghti."
That her remark!! had met with the
approval of a number of her hearers
mms evident from the hearty applause
of the legislators as Mrs. Lewis con
cluded. /
Sho waa followed by Mrs. Prances
Noel, who urged that suffrage ba
granted so that women would have the
opportunity to pass laws to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis and other
(lincases brought about through over
taxing workers in the various lines of
iinlustry.
"I come to you as a representative
of the wage earning classes," said Mrs.
Noel, "and I want to tell you that the
women of this class aro first In their
demand for the ballot,"
Mrs. Alice E. Brodwell made the
concluding arguments for the suffra
gists by saying that suffrage should bo
given American women because of the
great influence it would have In con-

RETRENCHMENT IS
SLOGAN OF CITY
Officials to Not Offer the Owens
River Bonds for Sale
Until Feb. 1
Although tho Now York bond syndl
cata is showing a disposition to treat
with the <it>- mi almost any Ugms tho
city chooses to propoae, thara will !.><•
no Owona river bonds sold until Peb
ruary I, 1811. This fact was eatabll
beyond question liist night, when tin
council promptly lilcd the commum- j
cation of A. W. Hullard, thfc coast rep- 1
reientatlve of the bond syndicate,]
stating that ho had laid the city's
proposition before his employers. The
council Instructed W. J. Washburn,
Chairman of the finance committee, to ,
notify Mr. Bullard that no further ac
tion will be taken.
Coundlmen Wa.shburn and Stewart j
asked to be excused from voting On
this matter and Gregory voted "no, '
but tho other members of the council
agreed to stop all negotiations for the
sale of more bonds until February 1
when tho syndicate must say whether
or not it will exercise its option, and
pay the city SSlfi.""'' every two months.
Councilman Betkouski stated that
an Investigation be had made showed
that, with the sinking fund, there is
$1,200,000 in the aciueduct fund, enough
for four months' work at high pres
sure.
A propoFiti'in that was good for the
city B month or two ago, when it
was first made, is not so good now
for the city would have to sacrifice
$62,000 in prereimums without adequate
return.
When Mayor Alexander first sug
gested that the city .sell $2,278,000 from
the last portion of the 11)12 option It I
was for tho purpose of getting ready
money to hurry the work on the ii'iu' 1
duct. The completion of the aqueduct
ahead of time meant an actual saving
for the fixed charges are $1000 a day
arid every day that was saved in the
work meant a saving of $1000 in the
expense. It was then well worth
while to sacrifice $62,000 in premiums j
to .save much more than that amount
in the fixed charges. But now it is
only six weeks before the syndicate j
must say whether it will take the re
mainder of the bonds and if It does;
take thf>m there will be plenty of j
money to carry the .york along as
fast as it can be pushed and if it
does not there is sufficient money in.
the treasury to carry the work at the
present rate until March 1, ■frhich will
give the city plenty of time to go into
the open market and offer its bonds.
There is now no strike on the aque
duct. Plenty of miners are at work in
the tunnals to rush the job as fast
as is desirable. Two shifts each are
working at north and south portals
of the Elizabeth Lake tunnel and tho
smaller tunnels are fully manned. The
aqueduct is going along about as fast
as it did In the palmiest times and the
money question is not bothering the
builders. They are content to wait
until February 1 when all the vex
ing questions of the finances will be
settled definitely.
