FLORIDA MAY
ACT FIRST ON
ANTHONY BILL
STATE SUFFRAGE LEADERS EX
PECT ACTION BY U. S. SENATE
IN TIME FOR FLORIDA LEGIS
LATURE TO ACT. .
. Florida, may be the first state in the
union to ratify the federal suffrage
amendment.
If the national senate passes the Susan
B. Anthony amendment, which is con
fidently expected, before me state legis
lature adjourns next Friday, it is prob
able that Florida women will be the lira
in America to cast a ballot via trie fed
eral method. This was the information
which came to Pensahola rrom Washing
ton last night and brougnt joy, in femin
ist quarters. . ;
IT the arhenduent : goes through the
senate within the next; day or - two, Tal
lahassee will become the center of a big
rational campaign to put Florida solidly
behind the women In tnexr struggle for
the franchise. It must be hurry-up work
Tor Florida, as there is only a brief time
to get the big mass of gtslatlon through
the mill at the state capitol.
Florida suffragists who are in Wash
ington are preparing to speed-up the
work in congress with. se single aim of
making this state the first to give wom
en the vote by ratification of a consti
tutional amendment. They, are bringing
every effort to bear to put the measure
safely. across in time. . .j ;
Immediately the , amendment is passed
In Washington, lobbying for the votes or
Florida solons will again begin. Work
ers will be quickly caned In action and
the struggle for primary and state suf
frage, staged earlier In the session In
Tallahassee, will be renewed for Imme
diate ratification.
Suffragists both in ana out of the state
legislature claim that representatives
and senators from all over Florida have
seen the political handwriting on the
wall and that they wir vote to ratify.
The tremendous affirmative vote polled
in the national .house. of representatives
has had its effect in urate legislative
halls and only a senate passage is needed
to stir the doubting vnomases into ac
tion. The fight is almost won, thy
claim. i ,
Women of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association have an
ardeft supporter in the cause in J. H.
Smithwlck. of Pensacola, who is serving
his first term. v
In the state legislature Herbert P.
Caro, of Pensacola, representative from
Escambia county, last nrgnt declared his
intention of boosting the movement In a
statement which he made in Tallahassee.
It is thought that Senator John P.
Stokes will also suppoii tne ratification
movement when it is begun. Represen
tative Gates, who voted nay, both on
the primary suffrage move and for a
state constitutional amendment, is again
e ex tpdteco prst-E shrd cmfwyp luu u
expected to oppose it. f
The Duval delegation In the house is
strongly in favor of giving women the
vote, through any means offered. .E. V.
VVaybright. reputed one of the strongest
speakers in the house, and F. O. Miller,
a leader in this branch of the legislature,
will advocate ratification In Florida im
mediately the federal ameniment is en
acted into law.

SENATOR WILSON
DISCUSSES STATE
TREASURY DEFICIT
BY HERBERT FELKEL,
Tallahassee, May 31. "Those news
papers that are Indulging In such
merciless criticism of the legislature,"
said Senator A. M. Wilson, of Miakka,
27th district, to the correspondents
today, ''because of what they please
to call extravagances and Inability to
run the affairs of the state govern
ment, do not stop to consider the
necessity for large expendtures of
funds.
"They overlook the fact that a dol
lar of today is worth but little more
than half what it was worth two years
ago in the purchase of the necessities
of life, that the state no longer re
ceives $100,000 In licenses from the
liquor traffic. Nor do we receive that
$228,421.00 from the hire of the con
victs. That 13 a total of $328,421.00
per annum. Now add to this a sum
sufficient for the maintenance and
are of the convicts since the aboli
tion of the lease system, and we have
a grand total of approximately a half
million dollars which must be raised
from some other source of revenue.
"Taxes are always odious and bur
densome, and I believe there is not a
man In either branch of the legisla
ture who is unmindful of this fact
or oblivious to the people's Interests.
I have had the honor to be a mem
ber of both branches of the legisla
ture, and make bold to say that I have
not served with a more conservative
body of men than comprise the mem
bership of the present legislature,
more especially as it refers to th
senate. ' - -

This means that a considerable part o!
the 1.800,000 cars off ownrg lines at last
reports are going back. Of course e
large percentage of cars away from horn
will continue, for It Is not intended tt
