number of statements were made pub
lic by the National Woman's party
representatives as follows:
Senator Kiln In II. Vare "I shall be
glad to vote for the federal amendment
to give the women n vote. I think the
splendid work they did in connection
with the late war entitles them to every
consideration and. as far a I am con
cerned, nothing is too good for them."
Senator C.eorgo Woodward "It is
Inevitable. As far as 1 know, every
body Is going to vote for it whether he
wants it or not."
Harmon M. Kephart. state treas

surely pass the amendment when it is

denied the use of the ballot. We need
tho influence upon public affairs that
woman's direct participation in politics
will bring, and I am ready to hasten

STATE HOUSING AID
, URGED BY IHLDER
Financing of Building Through
Loaii3 to Trust Companies
Is Advocated
The financing ot building operations
by the state through loans to trust
companies was advocated today by John
Ihlder, secretary of the Philadelphia
Housing Association, in commenting on
the Buchcr tenants' bill.
This measure, designed to compel
landlords to give renters ninety days'
ndtlce to move, Is to be left slcepjb'gJ'inX '
n legislative committee, mioruiauon
from Harrisburg Indicates. , ' ,
Mr. Itilttcr today .said lie did not be
lieve legislation would be very cffeqtlvct ,
in solving the housing problem that
now Is and lias been confronting this
city. , x
"The main solution," he said, "is
the btiU'Hng of more homes.' This Vlll
require the extension of water mains
nnd 'sewers,. At present there are only
3C00 lots in this city on 'improved
streets. An Improved street is one
equipped with sewers nnd water mains.
"Some cities have adopted the plan
ot taxing unused land. Thnt plan, In
a way, leads to more Intensive building.
More houses are built on less space.
What is desirable Is more houses, with
ns much space around them as possible.
Intensive building has u tcudency to
crentc tenement conditions.
"A'solution would be the loaning ot
more capital by the state to trustworthy
trust companies so that building would
be stimulated."
Appraisers' Bill Revived
Harrisburg, June 11. The bill au
thorizing tho auditor general to appoint
mercantile appraisers in each county
except Philadelphia nnd Allegheny wns
revived in the house yesterdny on mo
