GARAtTT EXPLAINS
TAXATION TO WOMEN
Declares Property-owning Woman
should Have Same Voice In lay
ing of Taxes As n Property
Owning Man.

II believe that a property owning
woman should have as much voice In
the laying of taxes a $ a property own
ing man. Indeed If the education Of
women continues to go forward at the
astounding rate which II has shown
during the past few years. they WIN
be so much better educated than the
men thirty years from now that they
ought to have more voice In the gov
erpment."
This idea was expressed by Christie
pher Gsrnett. consulting attorney for
the State Tax Board. in the course OF
a speech on tax reform made yester-
day afternoon before the Equal Suf-
frage League OF Virginia.
Mr. Garnett made an extremely In
structive talk, giving the history Of
the tax question and the present meth
DDS of taxation. The interest of the
audience In the subject was manifest
by the ntaHy dozens of questions which
were asked the speaker One of these
questions brought out the fact that
the women of Kansas. an equal suffrage
state. have gone seriously into the
work of amending the tax laws to do
away with tho present system of tax
ing mortgaged property twice.
The speaker was able introduced by
Mrs. Harvey Clarke, who declared that
the taxation did not, in the opinion
OF suffragists. give equal and exact
justice to ALL as Governor Stuart de-
clares II does"
