COST OF ELECTION8.
Does woman lUfTrnt'e Increase cost
of elections?
Take llrst hand testimony on tills
question from the states where women
vote. Do not let yourself be deceived
by anti-suffrage gossip.
Tlio following unswers from gover-
nors and secretaries of equal suffrage,
states have been received In answer
to the question, "Does woman suffrage
greatly Increase election expenses and
make additional taxation possible?"
WYOMING.—"Woman suffrage bus
not Increased taxes In this state nor
cost of elections."
COLORADO.—"Only Increase In
cost of elections what naturally ac-
crues from added number to elector-
ate."
IDAHO.—"Added election expense
Infinitesimal."
WASHINGTON.—"Election' expenses
only Increased by sUglit cost caused l>y
effort to keep voting precincts under
voters."
CALIFORNIA.—'"Increased cost of
plectlous because of women voters very
little."
OHEllON.—'"Woman suffrage . lias
Increased eleetliyi expensed only so far
as naturally they would increase pro-
portionately to Increase,In number of
voters."
KANSAS.—"Increased! cost of eleo
tlons Insignificant."
ARIZONA.—"Increus(<l cost of elec-
tions through women voting not worth
considering." '
MONTANA.-^"The lufgument of In-
creased taxation beauise of Ionian
suffrage is absurd."
NEVADA.—"Slightly; Increased cost
for prln'.lng additional ballots and
compensation for electlot4 clerks.'
In considering this question It must
be remembered that women pay their
full pro rata share 4)t the taxation for
election expenses/hud ^luU they liipve
been doing so for/moretfhan a century
while deprived ay law tromicasting a
vote.

an announcement
J. D. Funnell has sold
his interest in the Davenport
Garage to Messrs. Adams
and Deans, who will con-
tinue the business at the
same stind, doing all kinds
of auto re;pair work, and
selling the H arroun Autos.
One of the deep, underlying reasons
—not Just a diplomatic pretext—why
we are at war with Germany Is that
for a generation Germany hns been
rooking war on us. Germany has
made this war not openly, bravely or
Iiunianely, but secretly, treacherously
and persistently. She has sought to
create race discord, to corrupt and de-
file politicians and officeholders, and
to create separate German communi-
ties within our borders. She has poi-
soned the minds of children In our
schools In an endeavor to make Ger-
mans of them Instead of have them
grow up Into loynl American citizens.
She has Invaded the sacredness of the
pulpit Itself in on endeavor to corrupt
our people through the very leaders
of morality to whom they are accus-
tomed to look for guidance.
These may be startling assertions,
but they are all true, as you shall see
from the documents of the Germans
themselves. We fill knew that It was
n German fleet which stripped for ac-
tion when Dewey sailed into Manila
liny. We all knew it was the Germans
who sought to bring about a European
alliance against us when we were en-
gaged in the war with Spain. Few of
us relalzed, however, that all these
years Germany hus been busy within
our own borders, through editors,
teachers and preachers, seeking to
lirenk down our national unity, so that
when the time came it would be easy
to defeat the United States in open
warfare, to set nt naught our cherish-
ed Monroe doctrine, and to seize, in
the Western hemisphere, anything
that the land grabbing rulers of the
German empire might desire.
The climax of Germany's under-
handed war on the United States came
la 1013 more than a year before the
outbreak of hostilities In Europe. This
was the ennctment of what Is known
as the Dclbruck law, which provides
that If an emigrant from Germany
who is about to be naturalized makes
application to n German consul, hfl
may retain his German citizenship
even after be has become a citizen of
his adopted country.
In plain words, this law, and the ap-
plication of It, mean just this:
A German goes Into court In this
country and solemnly foreswears al-
legiance to the kaiser and pledges
Ills word—the temptation was to say,
"of honor"—that he will become n loy-
al citizen of the United States. Then
lie slips around to the German con.rn
and says:
"You know I didn't mean that, nt
all. Those Americans are easy marks
and they fell for that stuff right off. i
Rut ynu just put me down on your list ]
as a good, loyal German, and If the
time ever comes when I can prove It,
you can count on me."
So the German consul puts his name
down in the little card Index of whhell
the Germans are so fond, nnd this
man.—this creature who swears al-
leglence to the country which gives
him an opportunity to make a real liv-
lug and to become somebody In this
world, and nt the same time swears
secretly to bp true to Germany—Is
turned loose to work his will, while
Americans go carelessly about tholi
business and refuse to see the dangef
In the arrangement.
Long before the passage of the Del-
bruck law, there was formed tlie Ve-
rt-in fur das Deutschtum tm Ausland—
the Union for Germanism in ForeleO
Lands. This organization, officially
fostered in Germany, issued a quarter-
ly magazine, which, in Its very first is-
sue. outlined its aims as follows:
"The purpose of this union is tlie
preservation and promotion of the
Germanism of over 30,000,000 people
C.f German blood dwelling outside the
German empire." All it alms to do,
you see, Is to keep Germans who coma
to tills country from becoming Ameri-
cans.
Away back In 1890 the Alldeutscher
Verba lid, or the Pan-German league,
was formed. It now consists of 208
chapters of which two now are—or at
least were Immediately before the war
—in the United States, one In New
York and one in San Francisco. To
quote from the Alldeut«che Blatter, i's
official publication, "the Pan-German
league Is founded for promoting Ger-
man National Interests, both In Ger-
many and In foreign lands.
A few thinking Americans knew
all the time what was coming—what
must come. But America, as a whole,
went along in that carelessness and
I Indifference with which it treats all
| things unpleasant, nnd allowed this
' German war on our most sacred insti-
tutions to continue unchecked.
So Germany stands todny. with one
foot on prostrate Belgium and the oth-
er on the neck of poor deluded Rus-
sia; with a bayonet planted In the
heart of Serbia, and the point of Its
sword nt the tbrout of Roumanla,
while it looks out over the vassal
States of Bulgaria and Turkey to la-
dla and the Orient. And as It stands
thus, it cries to its foes on the west-
ern front:
"Knmerad! Why po on with all this
kllllngT Lets have n pence by nego-
tlhtlon?" and, under its breath, adds,
"I've got nil I want for the present."
Can wo talk of any peace until
such a Germany is absolutely defeat-
ed? Shall we negotiate n peace and
allow all these German preparations
for world domination to go on until
the time is ripe for Germany to com-
