SUFFRAGISTS PLAN
TO RENEW BATTLE
Call Issued for Annual Con-
vention to Be Held at
i .Washington, D. C.
NEW PROBLEMS TO BE MET
.War for Democracy Brings Belief
That Government In Honor
Cannot Iionger Deny
AVoman Ballot.
' WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. The official
call was issued today for the 49th an
nual convention of the National Woman
Suffrage Association to be held here
December 12 to 13.
Washington was selected as the meet
ing place so that pressure might be
brought to bear upon Congress in favor
Of the pending Federal woman suffrage
amendment. The delegates, who are
xpected to number more than 1000.
represent some 2,000.000 women In
very state in the Union.
"For the 49th time in its history,"
the call says, "the National American
Woman Suffrage Association issues a
all to its state auxiliaries to send their
elected delegates to meet with officers,
committees and life members in annual
convention. The place selected is
Washington, E. C. December 12 to 15,
1917.
"Since last we met the all-engulfing
world war has drawn our own country
Into its maelstrom and ominous clouds
rest over the earth, obscuring the
vision and oppressing the souls o man
kind. Yet, out of the confusion and
chaos of strife there has developed a
atronger promise of the triumph of
democracy than the world has ever
known.
Fight In for Democracy.
"Every allied nation has announced
hat it is fighting for democracy, and
our Qwn President has lieclared that
"we are fighting for democracy, for
the right of .those who submit to au
thority to have a voice in their own
Kovernment.' Now Russia has answered
the call; Great Britain has pledged
full suffrage for women and the meas
ure has already passed the House of
Commons by the enormous majority of
seven, to one. Canada, too. has re
epond'ed with five newly enfranchised
provinces; France is waiting only to
irive the foe from her soil to give her
women political liberty.
"Such an array of victories gives us
faith to believe that our own Govern
ment will soon follow the example of
other allied nations and will alsd pledge
votes to its women citizens as an earn
est of its sincerity that in truth we
lo fight for democracy.
Nerr Problems Rising.
"This is our first National convention
lnce our country entered the war. We
are faced with new problems and new
issues and the Nation Is realizing its
dependence upon women as never be
fore. It must be made to realize also
that, willingly as women are now serv
ing, they can serve still more effective
ly when, they shall have received the
full measure of citizenship. These facts
must be urged upn Congress and otir
Government must be convinced that the
time has come for the enfranchisement
of women by means of an amendment
to the Federal Constitution.
"lien and women who believe that
the great question of world democracy
Includes government of the people by
the people and for the people in our
country are invited to attend our con
vention and counsel with us on ways
and means to attain this object at the
earliest possible moment."
The call is signed by Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, honorary president; Airs.
Carrie Chapman Catt, president, and
members of the National board.

From the cradle to the grave most of man's activities will now be taxed under the
new Revenue Bill, points out an Associated Press correspondent j since "baby's first dash
of talcum powder under the 2 tax on cosmetics will help the Government carry on the war,
and after death, the Federal Collectors will be on hand to get the Inheritance Tax at
advances on the present rate of from 1 on $50,000.00 to 10 on $1,000,000.00." '
While Congressman Kitchin and Senator Simmons, respectively responsible for
the Tax Revenue legislation in the House and Senate, express muchySatisfaction with it,
the newspaper press in various sections of the country is commenting upon what it
deems, to use the words of the New York Evening Sun, the law's serious ''inequities,"
"obscurities," "incomprehensibilities," and " unworkabilities."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for October 13th, a clear exposition of what the new.
taxation will cost individuals and corporations is given and the drift of public opinion upon
it is shown. Other striking phases of the world's news are presented under these headings:
