Shall We Use Spy System
Or Publicity to Prevent
Dodging of Income Tax?

and one sources which will give
information regarding the people
who should pay income tax and
the amounts upon which they
should pay"
This sounds effective and bust
nesslike.
But there are two inevitable
consequences which the American
people and their representatives
in congress should clearly under
stand before they consent to the
extension of the present system
of SECRECY and ESPIONAGE.
First, BRIBERY and CORRUP-
TON to an extent never before
known are inevitable IL the gov
eminent continues the present
policy of keeping the returns Sc
cret, while leaving the fixing of
the assessments in the hands of
revenue agents and collectors.
There are now 60 taxpayers
who are paying income taxes of
more than 100000 each per year.
Several of these same multi-mil-
lionaires have, within recent
years, been detected in attempts
to efade the customs duties
where only a few thousand dol
lars were involved. They have
demonstrated that they will resort
to fraud, and, if necessary, to
bribery.
Five per cent of the smallest
tax will pay the salary of any of
the revenue agents for year. To
save the taxpayer thousands of
dollars the agent need not COM
nit any crime; he need only shut
his eyes for a minute.
The treasury department
needs the publication of the
returns to keep its collectors,
Inspectors and agents free
from any suspicion of graft.
1t is because we do not wish
to see the treasury department
the scene of another whisky ring
scandal, or of another sugar Gus
toms scandal, that COMPLETE
PUBLICITY OF RETURNS is
DEMANDED
The othter inevitable result of
the method of collection advocat-
ed by Secretary McAdoo is the
creation of bureaucratic spy
system of enormous proportions.
The income tax act places abe
remedy for the existing frauds

The passengers on the suffrage
special which will invade the
northwest Monday are coming to
enlist Tacoma and Seattle women
in the united effort to force con-
gress to drag out the national
suffrage amendment from the
committee where it has been
smothered year after year.
Live, Progressive Bunch.
BY presenting solid front,
they are determined to pledge
national leaders and representa-
tives, irrespective of party, just
as they obtained the pledge today
of Roosevelt.
They are live, progressive
bunch, and Tacoma women have
made plans to demonstrate that
the northwest is back of the ma
tional movement.
Four of the passengers on the
suffrage special-Mrs. John Rod
gers of New York city, Mrs. w. ID.
Ascough, Connecticut; Mrs. Cyrus
Mead, Ohio, and Mrs. Percy
Read, Virginia-will arrive in Ia
coma Monday evening.
Plan Busy Evening.
After they get here at p. m,
things will be stirring, with an
auto trip about the city, dinner
at the Woman's clubhouse and a
big meeting and reception at the
commercial club, where all OF
them will give some live talks.
At the meeting in the CONNER
cial club, Mrs. Ada Barlow, who
for 40 years has been an ardent
suffragist, will preside. Mayor
Fawcett will preside at the meet
ing in the clubhouse.
Among the Tacoma women who
have given their active support to
the nationwide work of the Con-
gressional Union are:

4. II. ENDORSES THE
FEDERAL AMENDMENT

NEW YORK, April %
Declaring that the question
tlon of enfranchising women
has become national, former
President Theodore Roose-
welt today pledged his sup
port of the proposed amend
ment to the federal constitu-
ton giving women the right
to vote.
The pledge was given in
a signed statement prepared
by Roosevelt for the Con-
gfessional Union, which ap-
pealed to him as the head of
the progressive party.
81 believe that the time
has come for a greater and
truer nationalism in this
country" says his statement.
THE great problems of our
country are national. A uni
versal federal law is essen
tial for results. The ques-
ton of enfranchisement for
women has become national
and demands federal action"

 MT Depew told the convention IL was the sXty-first anniversary of his preaching of republicanism.

 delegates rose and the cheers rolled louder. .,
 It was the longest sustained demon stration of the convention so far.
 Finally the crowd quieted and MT. Harding thanked the convention for it's approval.
 At 1:31 o'clock the republican na- tional convention recessed until D. m. to await the report of the reso- lutions committee which still was working on the platform.
 The convention was in session about two hours and did nothing more than perfect it's peramenent organization and listen to some speeches.
 MT. Harding in a brief speech thanked the convention and then called for the report of the commit tee on rules. The report was not ready and at the chairman's request the band played, while the report was being awaited.
 Senator SmOot was recognized for a supplemental report from the cre- dentials committee. 1t proposed to l give votes to the six delegates from | Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip 1 pines, and was adopted. That made the total number of | votes in the convention 989 making 1 495 votes necessary to a nomination. Finally the report of the rules com mitte was ready, and the national 1 committeeman c. B. Warren of Mich | igan presented it. It was an unani- | nous report and has been published. l Briefly, the rules of the convention 1 are those of the house of representa- l | adopt them to the needs of so differ l ent a body
 While the report of the rules l committee was being read an Asso- 1 ciated Press despatch from Oyster | Bay quoting Colonel Roosevelt as l willing to come to Chicago if the re- l publican convention wanted him to address it, was handed to Chairma n l Harding. He showed it to Senator | Borah, w. Murray Crane and Charles l D. Hilles, and it was then passed | around to others.
 Senator Harding had no comment to make, but Senator Borah said: If I were sure that Roosevelt actually said that himself, l would be in favor l of inviting him here"
 Cheers for Chauncey Depew
 The report of the resolutions com mittee was the next order of business
 but the chairman announced that
 with the arbitrary authority which , goes with the gavel he would appoint 1 former Secretary Stimson and Speak
 CT Sweet of New York to escort
 Chauncel M. Depew to the platform

 his place while the delegates ap. 1 pIauded.

tional origin, then the nation itself will crumble into dust. If we are Lot thoroughly prepared, if we have not developed a strength which re- spects the rights of others but which is also ready to enforce from others respect for it's own rights then sooner or later we shall have to sub- init to the will of an alien conqueror.
 These questions are not in the realms of abstract thought. They must be taken out of the world of cloudy promise and vague phrasing into the world of performance and of fact. They are today in concrete form before you and your fellows for decision. For two years, in the face of the awful world cataclysm, this na- tion has stood supine and helpless and has not in the smallest degree prepared itself to ward off the dan ger. No promise, no excuse now made by those responsible for this ina ction, is entitled to serious consid- eratlon. It is for you and your asso clates to show the people that they have worthy alternat tive to which to turn.
 U. S. vs. Germany.
 The professional Amer jeans acting through various agencies including so-called German-American alliances, are at this moment serving notice on the members of your con- Vention that your action must be taken with a view to the interests, not or the United States, but of Germany and of that section of the German American vote which is anti-Amer- lcan to the core. I believe with all my heart that the action of these sinister professional German-Amer- leans will be repudiated with angry contempt by the great mass of our fellow citizens who are in whole or in part of German blood-and who. as l well know, are unsurpassed in rugged and whole souled American ism by any other citizen of our land But the professional German-Amer- jeans are seeking to terrorize your conventiOn for their wish to elect next November a man who shall not be in good faith an American presi- dent, but the viceroy of foreign gov ernment. It is for your convention in emphatic fashion to repudiate them. This can be done in effective manner only if such action is taken as to enable republicans, progressives dem ocrats who are true to the prin- ciples of Andrew Jackson, and in dependents-in short all loyal Amer jeans, to join in the effort to reach the goal we all have in view.
 Can we not, forgetting past differ ences, now join for the safety and honor of our country, to enforce the policies of genuine Amercanism and genuine preparedness?
 Surely we can afford to act in &C., cordance with the words of Abraham Lincoln when he said: May not all having a common interest reunite in a, common effort to save our common country May we ask those who have not differed win us ojin in his same spirit towards those who have?'
 "As far as my own soul is known to me it is in this same spirit that at this time I make my appeal to the republicans and progressives assem- bled at Chicago.
