They find that if they tax this against
the corporation they take it away from
the stoekholder; and If they try to tax
II directly to the bondhOlder, after il
gets to him, they run up against the
decision of the Pollock case That is
would be making it an income tax in
stead OF a corporation tax; and The
President has informed Congress in his
message that he doesn't think that is
feasible in the present state Of the Con-
stitution.
In short. the situation is this: II yod
make the tax apply only to stocknOld-
ers money and not TO the bondhOlders',
the inequity is manifest. and the rleas-
ure unpopular. If you try 10 apply II to
both, through the corporation paying
for both. you double the inequity, BY
making the stakeholder pay for both
himself and the bondholder; and if you
provide for a tax on the bondhOlders'
earnings, to be paid by him instead Of
by the corporation for him, YOU make
the thing just on all fours with the in
come tax case under the law of 1894,

TEN REASONS why
women SHOULDVOTE
Suffragettes Tell Why
Rights Amendment
Should Pass

San Francisco, Jan A. Ten reasons
why the legislature Of California
should adopt the constitution and sub.
nit II to the voters Of the state at the
Lext general election were promulgat.
ed by the state central committee of
the sufrragettes meeting at Sacramen.
20.
The arguments follow.
Twelve years have elapsed since
the submission of an equal suffrage
amendment.
1.-THE voting population Of Call
iornia has largely increased by many
young men reaching majority. and by
new residents from other states and
countries and there is no surety that
the laws regarding suffrage represent
the sentiment Of the people
3--Several enlightened nations have
other countries there Is a ceaselcss
gnd popular agitation.
I'm those states where women
vote 1t is a success.
5.-California should be the next
state to submit a suffrage amendment.
owing to her extent and influence In
the nation. and that she may remain
a leader in progress and justice.
6.-The submission of the suffrage
amendment has been indOrsed by the
leading labor organizations Of the
state.
The s,,irIt ~ ,L, ,,ngtftu,i,,, a,
California guarantees the right to de.
mand the submission Of an amend.
ment.
S.-Many state and local Organlza.
tons not suffrage societies have IN.
dorsed the submission Of an amend.
ment.
9-Public opinion demands the sub.
mission Of an amendment. as shown
! by the active support of PIG news.
| Iapers In the state Of California.

For the taxes We pay,
For the laws We obey
We demand something 10 say.
