Lucille Deeter telegram to Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, April 22, 1914
No full textLucille Deeter sent this telegram on April 22, 1914, to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association to request statistics showing Ohio women's support for the suffrage movement. Deeter requested these figures to use as evidence which anti-suffragists could not disprove.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Poverty, children's health, and health care utilization
No full textThis paper was presented at the conference "Unequal incomes, unequal outcomes? Economic inequality and measures of well-being" as part of session 1, "Health status of children and households in poverty." The conference was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on May 7, 1999. This paper discusses health as a direct measure of economic well-being and draws attention to those suffering the worst outcomes and the link between poverty and health. According to the author, in 1994 only 10 percent of children under age five in families making 10,000 were in less than very good health. Moreover, in recent years the number of poor children whose health is fair or poor has increased relative to the number of nonpoor children in these same health categories. In 1987, for every nonpoor child with health problems, there were close to two children in poverty in poor health; by 1996, that ratio had risen to 2.7.Poverty ; Income ; Medical care
Household Composition and Savings: An Overview
No full textIn recent years the literature on household saving behavior has been enriched by a number of contributions focusing on the problem of modeling a household as a single decision unit. It has reasonably been argued that with respect to household consumption and saving behavior the simple approach of modeling households as one representative decider could involve major mistakes. Thus the literature has enriched the basic model by incorporating variables that describe the composition of a household examples being the number and age of children, household member�s life expectancies and the intra-household distribution of income. This paper reviews these developments and empirical results in the latest literature, with a particular focus on intra-household income distributions.
