Another place where the law seemS
to be defective is In the amount of
fees required to be paid for filing ar
ticles Of incorporation. AS compared
with other states the amount is ri-

organized recently to take over the

forming a closer trust than ever in
that industry, is capitalized at S13,-

CORPORATION TAX COMES SLOW
Idaho Treasury Suffers from Delin-
quencies.

So far this month $4,000 has been
paid out on various accounts by the
state, says the Boise Capital News.
Not much revenue is coming in to
the state at this time of the year,
about the only money coming in now
being payment of the tax on corpo-
rations provided for by the last ses-
sion OF the legislature, but even this
is not coming in in anything like the
amount that was expected. lover
5000 notices to corporations were sent
out giving notice of the new Nw OF
these just 400 have responded with
their tax which amounts to $4,000.
Under the law this tax should all be
paid by August Is.
This is the law which has met so
great opposition at the hands of
small companies, particularly of
small irrigation companies over the
state. The law requires that the tax
shall be paid on the entire capital of
the company whether subscribed or
not, or whatever the value of the
stock may be. The stock of a bank
may be worth three times the value
named in the certificate of stock, yet
1t will not have to pay any more tax
per share than will any other corpo-
ration the value Of whose stock is a
cent a share.
Another bad feature of the law lie
that corporations with capital stock
above 100000 need not pay any
more lioensetax than companies hav-
ing that amount of capital stock, so
that Jim Hills two or three hundred
million dollar concerns will have "a
pay no more tax than the company
having $4,000, 900, which is $3.50.

The Walla walla Union says Of the
attempt of the women of Washing
ton to secure the right Of suffrage;
According to information received
from various points throughout the
state, women will vote in the state
Of Washington, and the good DANES
of walla walla are preparing to Join
hands in the great cause and start
mixinb things in the political field as
soon as possible. They have a right
to vote, they say, and they are going
to vote. That's all there is to 1t.
The Washington Equal Suffrage
association is behind the movement
to seek the right of franchise for
women, and 1t is such women as Mrs.
Bessie Isaacs Savage, formerly of this
city, now of Seattle, who are backing
the equal suffrage association, and
they are bound to win.
The mine will be sprung under the
guise of men folks who dominate
politics, and at the very next general
election a woman, whose name is be-
ing Kept a profound secret, but who
is known to live in one of the county
precincts Of King county, will in the
presence of witnesses and legal tall
ent try to register. She will be re-
fused. Then when election day comes
around she will hurry to the polls.
Behind her will train her hackers,
ready to give her their moral sup
port.
Once Had the Franchise.
When Washington was a territory
women had a right to vote. The leg
islature gave them the right twice.
Both acts, however, were dubbed un-
constitutional by the state courts.
The United States court never had a
chance at II at all. But the last suf-
fragist law was never repealed. This
| fact is the one the women are bank
ing upon. They are also banking
upon the fact that the supreme court
of the state split both times, ma
jority only Of that body declaring
the laws unconstitutional.
| The first law was declared uncon-
stitutional because by some clerical
error the title didn't state the sub
ject of the law very specifically. Then
the women got busy and the legisla-
ture, anxious to oblige them (there
were mighty few women in the ter
ritory then and what those few said
wenD passed another law.
This was later declared illegal on
| the grounds that a woman was not a
| person. In other words, the enabling
act passed by congress admitting
Washington TO all the lack of rights
and privileges as territory power TO
grant persons the right of franchise
but the enabling act didn't say fe-
male person, and the territory decreed
that the person mentioned in the ter
ritorial law must therefore simply be
man person.
