indeterminate term of from one te
five years imposed in criminal
court here. Four others were Civ

PENNSY WOMEN
REFUSE TAXES
Discovery OF Old Law Brings New
Difficulties in Collection Of
School Tax.
lBy Consolidated Press !

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. 1S.-The
female of the species" is making
trouble again. This time she prom
ises to cost the school fund large
sum of money. All because it has
been discovered, that unless the
women themselves want to pay the
per capita, which varies from
three to five dollars a Year,. in the
different parts of the state, they
cannot be made to do so. Just how
much the total will reach next
year is unknown but officials said
here today that it might be as
much as three million dollars.
Far back in Pennsylvania an
mails when woman voters and radio
were unknown, there crept into the
state statute books a law protect
ing women from Imprisonment for
debt. Long since it was forgotten.
Today it has been revived through
out the state. Nearly ninety per-
cent of the million and a half
women of the state paid the per
capita tax levy to the collectors in
1921. This money went with the
rest collected to swell the school
fund which has put Pennsylvania
in first place as an educational
commonwealth. The ten, percent
did not pay. Proceedings to col
lect were instituted and threats
were made that delinquents would
face Jail if they did not come
through.
This all made good reading but
then some one discovered this an
Gent law. 1t SPILLED the beans"
to use the yernacular. Scarcely
eighty percent Of the women are
paying this year, according to the
best reports available here. Col
lectors say they will do well to get
half of them to pay next year un-
less the law is amended so that a
penalty can be collected.
