WOMEN DON'T AGREE.
Argument for and Against Resistance

The statement coming as 1t does.
upon the heels of the suggestion OF

the National Woman Suffrage associa-

in congressional. treasury and sunra-
gist circles. The statement issued by
the Congressional Union declares that II
does not plan to organize widespread
resistance to the income tax law but
adds:
IF any society or individual however
should refuse to pay income tax or to
come, the Congressional Union would
have every sympathy with such ac-
ton
''IntOlerable Injustice"
Imposition of an income tax on wo-
men, the statement continues has made
them realize afresh their helplessness
under the government. To tax the Wo-
men without granting them representa-

an act of ''intolerable injustice" Re

statement says, would have excel

1t is stated in conclusion, that the

protest against the law.

they have hundreds of followers pledg-

MURRAY SAYS
HE IS VICTIM
OF PLOT

Through the barred gate lead
ing to the Pierce county Jail, At
torney j. Matthew Murray, under
arrest for alleged subornation of
perjury, today made the declara-
tion that he was being made the
victim of Il foul plot to land him
I'm the penitentiary.
Il would suggest" said Muir
ray, who has been allowed the
freedom of the jail corridors,
that you put in your headlines
today the question, Was Gordon,
the ex-convict, promised immu-
nifty from serious charges If he
would inform against Murray "
Officer Substantiated IL.
One of the most important facts
in favor of Attorney Murray is
that Patrolman Angus, who ar
rested Tom Gooden for attempt
ed murder, related in his testl-
mony during the Gooden trial
that the facts sworn to by Good
en- on the witness stand substan-
tiate the story the accused man
told him when the arrest was
made Christmas morning.
Both Gooden and Gordon
pleaded guilty to charges OF pur-
jury Saturday afternoon. Attor-
ney Murray was arrested within
half an hour after these men had
entered their pleas.
Murray was arraigned this
morning before Judge Clifford
and was given five days continu-
ance in which to decide upon his
plea. He is being neld in the
county Jail in default of $1,000
bonds.
Both Confessed to Plot.

torneys, Gooden and Gordon i'm
plicated themselves and Murray
in and alleged perjury pact TO
free Gooden from a charge or
attempting the life of A. Racht-
ner, a cafe proprietor. That the
persons AL Forehead and his wife,
who figured in the defense OF
Gooden, were fictitious charact-
ers, is the assertion of the county
attorneys.
Gooden related on the witness
stand that it was Forehead VINO
had done the shooting on Christ
mas morning instead of himself.
His witnesses supported him IN
this story.
The confession of Gooden and
Gordon is said to have laid bare
the fact that Attorney Murray
had invented this story and had
paid a price to witnesses who
swore to its truth.
However, the testimony OF
Patrolman Angus in the attempt-
ed murder trial showed that
Gooden mad told him this same
story at the time of Gooden's ar
rest. Attorney Murray declared
today that in his belief Gordon
had been harrassed by the police
and county attorneys into making
a false confession to save him
self from arrest on serious
charges.
1t was also learned that a po-
lice official had made the state
ment Saturday that he would

was against him. He looked too
mild to presage political menace
to those old-timers. They patted
him on the back and told him
everything would be o. k. So,
when a few days later, workmen
started putting up the building
for a saloon, Taylor was madder
than a halter. Then he got
madder than two hatters because
they didn't even buy the lumber
from him. The saloon went up,
but Taylor was a delegate to the
next county convention.
He ran again in 1910, got him
self elected as speaker. Then he
quit insurging even in a limited
sense. And he's the first man in
this state to be elected speaker
twice cOnsecutively.
Taylor has been married for
eight years. He mas no children.

In spite of its appearance and
