URGED BY WOMEN
League of Voters Pamphlet
Advocates Federal and
State Reorganization.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 25.-In a pamphlet
published today, the National League
of Women Voters urged a "reorganiza-
ton of governmental structure with
coordination of Federal, State and
local fiscal systems"
The league is in convention here.
The pamphlet said that if "our tax
system of the future is to be an i'm
provement over the chaotic present,
citizens and legislators must see the
problem as whole
Discusses Tax Situation.
Miss Katherine A. Frederic of Bos-
ton, secretary of the leagues depart
ment of efficiency in government, said
in discussing the tax situation:
''An Industrious congressional COM
mittee recently counted 1913 examples
OF duplicate, or conflicting, taxation
between the Federal Government and
the States. These are the outward
signs of the tremendous effort by our
governments, from Washington to the
smallest town, to keep their heads
above water amid the flood of re-
sponsibilitieS that have come upon
them. Sales taxes, general and spe-
cial, have spread like wild fire. In
come taxes on individuals or corpora
tions are now used by 80 States as
well as the Federal Government.
THE trend of government ex-
penditureS has been almost steadily
upward throughout the Nations his
tory-because of the public demand
for service and more service. Today
the annual tax bill is approximately
$4,000, 100000, of which 60 cents in
each dollar goes for local government,
81 cents for State functions and 10
cents for activities of the National
Government"
Cites Accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Miss Marguerite M.
Wells of Minneapolis told directors of
the league that the organization was
instrumental in effecting passage of
half the measures it supported in
State Legislatures last year.
The league also was instrumental
in bringing about the defeat Of 80
peI CeLC OF the measures II opposed,
Miss Wells said.
In her report as legislative chair
man, Miss Wells said there was evil
dence of increased concern by State
Legislatures in industrial problems.
Last year, she said, measures relating
to efficiency in government outnum-
bered the industrial questions, but in
the regular sessions this year the sit
uatlOn was reversed.
Further evidence Of the interest of
women voters in protection of children
in industry was shown, the report
said, by the fact that IA State leagues
in 1888 were leaders in successful
for ratification of the child
labor amendment.
In the Federal field the legislative
department reported that II measures
it supported in the last two years
were passed and are laws. Two meas
ures, the food and drug bill and the
World Court measure, to which the
league is giving its present major at
tention, are pending.

Course FavOrs Harry.

TIARRY has won two tournaments
II in a row. Can he win again
and keep on winning? At an
age around 80 years. Harry Pitt is
competitor thoroughly seasoned in the
fierce fire of competitive golf, man
who knows the game from the ground
up and one who has the greatest
scrapping heart of any man playing
amateur golf around the Capital.
Over such long course as that at
Indian Spring, Pitt will be in his
element, for he is not the straightest
man in the world from the tee and
those wide fairways at Indian Spring
do not harm a man who doesn't hit
'em straight all the time. Neverthe-
less. Harry has won tournaments
over courses which demanded uner-
ring accuracy He can straighten
his game out when he needs 1t.
So far this year, Pitt has proved
the outstanding golfer OF the season,
Another victory or two and his place
at the top will be undisputed, even if
he fails to win the District champion
ship at Columbia in September. He's
a queer golfing geniuS-thls fellow
Pitt. Modest to a degree, his head
never has required an oversize hat.
He would rather talk about the other
fellow than about himself. and he has
a streak of laziness in him. He will
not start a match at top speed and
he specializes in coming from behind.
If Harry Pitt geared himself to 90
places nationally, he could and may
