KENTUCKY, WOMEN TO
VOTE FOR PRESIDENT
Legislature Passes Suffrage Bill
and Also Acts On New Li
cense Tax For Autoes
Frankfort, Ky., March 16. The
House measure to give Kentucky wo
men suffrage in presidential elections
passed the Senate Monday 30 to 3 and
now lacks only the signature of .Gov
ernor Morrow to become a law.
In advocating passage of the meas
ure, of which Representative Lazarus
was author, Senator Brock. Senate
minority leader, said there was hard
ly a question that the right of suf
frage would be realized by women
through Federal amendment, but that
Kentucky should go on record as
favoring it immediately..
Under the bill women in Kentucky
will be able to particpate in the
presidential election this year, re
gardless of whether the Federal
amendment is ratified in time.
Senators Burton, Caiter and Gard
ner voted against it.

Monday was:
Tonnage tax on coal defeated.
Omnibus License Tax Bill, with
many amendments, passed.
Measure to place 60 cents a horse
peSver tax on automobiles carries.
Substitutes for Lazarus Bill, for
control by State Railroad Commis
sion of telephone, telegraph, gas and
express companies and steamboat
lines, passed.
With a few minor amendments, the
bill of Representative Roth, Louisville
providing for a license tax of 60 cents
a horsepower on passenger automo
biles and about double- the prosent
tax on trucks, passed the Senate by
a vote of 25 to 10.
Under the measure auto licenses
are to be issued by County Clerks,
who will receive as" fees 30 cents a
license. Those who voted against
the bill were Senators .Bright, Gard
ner, Hall, Harlan, Harris, Hon, Munn,
Rives, Simmons and Smith.
Amendment' that carries' out the
fee allowed County Clerks from 40 to
30 cents, eliminated that section that
would have made necessary special
permission before vehicles including
contents, weighing more than six tons,
could have used the highway, reduced
the minimum age for chauffers from
18 to 16, and eliminated the require
ment that light be kept burning on
autos when parked on the highway.
The House acted on a lot of un
important matters, but among the
among the Senate bills passed were
these; which now go to the governor:
Antle, althorizing consolidate'!
school districts to issue bonds; Ant
providing for inspection of vocational
schools; Bright, providing for inde
pendent consolidated and high school
districts: Moss, increasing salaries o
law clerks- in Court of Appeals from
$100 to $150 month; Antle, amending
library commission ' law. ,
Bright, fixing qualifiction of grad
ed .school trustees; Mjoss, providing
for furnishing acts , and statutes
to county officers, where court house

lating reinvestment of funds in judi
cial sale of estate property.
