' THE WOMAN AND THE BALLOT FROM A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT The National Legislative Commit tee of the Business and Professional Women's Clabs is making an earnest effort to bring home to our members in every state the high responsibility of citizenship. Women were given tb? vote with fear and trembling. Poli ticians grey in the service of their parties Tnswted that women, granted the franchise, would take the reins in thair hands and control national politics through an independent or ganization. This fear has aot been justified. Party leaders Lave found that women are as loyal to the estab lished national parties as the men of their families- With the balance of power in their hands, women have chown to express their political pref erence through established channels, and the political education offered by the women's clubs throughout the country is not designed to encourage an independent woman's party but to educate Intelligent and ardent sup porter* for ocr traditional parties. The great national parties as estab lished provide the moet effective in struments for the activity of our wo men votars. Progressive measures introduced through the cooperation of a national party win instant hear ' ing and serious consideration and any [ reform of party practices and party policies to be effective, must come from within the party ranks. This 1 is why the legislative leaders of the Business and Professional Women's i slubs are urging that each club mem ber enlist in the party of her choice, that she cast a vote in every local and national election. 1 If an eligible voter fails to cast a vote, it is a confession of indif ference, shirking of obvious respon sibility. Both men and women are . notoriously slack in their duty as cit izens and often those who couiplain most loudly of political corruption iand unacceptable candidates are the ,very ones who have never taken part j in their party councils or who, hav ing met with ? single defeat in a party struggle, feel they are justified in abusing their party for corrup tion or incompetence for the rest of their mortal lives. The only citizen who has a right to cry out against ! politiol abuses is the citizen who, in the face of every discouragement and defeat, continues to do his faithful best and to take every opportunity of recording his political convictions and supporting nis political prin ciples. BUSINESS WOMEN RATE AS MODERN PHENOMENON IN THE WORLD OF TODAY That the modern business woman is a genuine phenomonon and en titled to a special week in recogni tion of her achievements will b? the speedy decision of anyone who scans the figures relative to the presence of v. oman in the business world. Non-existent ,or at best unimpor tant, yesterday, she is today a factor to be reckoned with, and it will not need the special programs of Na tional Business Women's Week ? 1 March 10 to 16 ? to point out that fact. So dry a source as the census amply substantiates it On the eve of a new census we have to go back to the figures pub ,:<hed by the government after the annual enumeration for our data. Yet ten years ago more than eight and a half million women were gainfully employed, and no less an authority than the president of the American Press Association calcu lates that so rapidly have women swarmed' into the business world that there will be 15,000,000 of them when the next census figures are pub lished. Ton years ago there were but 37 of the 572 occupations which women luid not invaded. Now it is doubt ful if there are any. Ten years ago clerical workers led the number of women employed, there being 1,420, 116 of them. Probably this ratio will bs increased by the next census, for the drift is increasingly away from industry to what we would call, if imen were occupying them, the I "white collar jobs." Possibly this is in a measure due to the education program of the National Federation 'of Business end Professional Wo I men's nationwide attention on the ; value of a better education to the pospective business girl. The number of women in public service increased 61 percent between 1910 and 1920 end the figure is ex pected to be even greater between 1920 and 1930. Equally significant was the increase of the percentage of women in trades by 42 percent; and of women in professions by 39 percent. A hasty survey of the census fig ures showed women employed not only in the distinctly feminine occu pations, but as architects, landscape gardeners, dentists, designers, drafts men, inventors, photographers, tech nical engineers, vetcrniary surgeons, areonauts, etc., not to mention the professional women who were jodges, college presidents, doctors, lawyers, chemists, authors, editors. In the face of such statistics who shall say that business women have , not an important part in Amercian i life. 'jXSSBOBSCS.? " SCCSKKW' V ? ' : WAX YOUR FLOORS and PREVENT DIVORCE.
