VoteIess Women Favor
Graduated Income Tax

Reahirmation of it's opposition to
a sales tax and approval of a gradu-
ated income tax for the District
have been voiced by the Voteless
District of Columbia League of
Women oVters in a statement trans
mitted to members of Congress by
Mrs. M. o. Lorenz, president of the
league.
'It is our feeling that no possible
argument for the sales tax can over
come the fact that it does not fall
equitably on all classes of the popu-
lation according to their ability to
pay" the statement declared. The
driving of retail trade into adjoin-
ing States and its nuisance" char
acter are other objections, it added.
The league suggested the present
income tax law be amended to cor
rect obstacles to administration and
that the tax base be broadened if
revenue is found insufficient.
Difficulties raised by the United
States Court of Appeals decision in
the Sweeney case could be removed
it was said, by making the income
levy applicable not only to persons
domiciled here, but to those domi-
ciied elsewhere. but maintaining
place Of abode here for nine months
of the year; taxing only of income
earned in the District, with the levy
placed upon the same classes of per-
sons as above, or taxation on all
income of persons domiciled here
and on income earned in District
by those domiciled elsewhere, but
living here for nine months Of the
year.

Juvenile Court Ruled
Non-Support Arbiter

Parents who do not support their
children are subject to criminal &C
ton in Juvenile Court, even though
jurisdiction over their divorce case
has previously been assumed by a
civil court, Justice F. Dickinson Let's
ruled yesterday in District Court.
He sustained the action of Judge
Fay l.. Bentley of Juvenile Court,
who last December gave a suspended
Jail sentence of one year to John r..
Evans of the HOO block of Twelfth
street on charge of non-support.
Justice Let's was asked to nullify
this sentence on the theory Juvenile
Court lacked jurisdiction to enforce
decree entered in another court.
Mr.. Evans wife, Mary, in 1887 Sc
cured an absolute divorce in District
Court awarding SO weekly for the
support Of their six children, Justice
Let's was advised.
The justice observed that if Mr..
Evans prevailed, husbands and wives
here could evade the law requiring
support of children by merely OBJ
tanning divorce. When a support
order was secured they could per-
NIT their children to starve with
impunity, he said.
Representing Judge Bentley in the
proceeding yesterday was Assistant
Corporation Counsel Michael J..
Keane, jr.

Depletion Of Wild Life
Blamed on Politics
In Conservation
Experience Counts Most
In Handling Wild Life,
Conference Told

Politics dominates conservation
activities in 40 States, with the result
that supplies of game and fish are
constantly decreasing, the North
American Wildlife Conference was
told today.
E. Sydney Stephens, chairman of
the Missouri Conservation Commis-
sion, urged the sportsmen to organize
groups in their States which would
GUST politically dominated bodies
charged with conserving wild life.
In the eight States where conserva-
ton is outside of politics the amount
of game and fish has been steadily
increasing, he said.
wild life disappears where it is
dealt with by unframed and mex
perienced staffs, the personnel OF
which is constantly changing and
where the principal qualification for
employment is party service or po-
litical pull" he said. ineffective
methods and inefficient service in
variably accompany such a regime
and wild life suffers. On the other
hand, where the selection of per-
sonnel and tenure of employment
is based upon training and expert
ence sound methods accrue and wild
life prospers."
Representative Robertson Speaks.
Mr.. Stephens, who spoke before
the closing session of the three-day
conference at the Mayflower, is the
first chairman of Missouri's Con-
servation Commission, created in
1896.
Representative A. Willis Robert
son, Democrat, of Virginia told the
conference that the people must be
taught to find peace and content
ment in the simple out-of-doors"
and that education will have an i'm
portant role in any successful plan
to sell wildlife" to them.
Mr.. Robertson commended the
splendid accomplishments of the
National Park Service and the
United States Forest Service,
Directors announced next years

Democratic Women
Will Discuss Platform

What women want in the Demo-
cratic platform for 1910 will be en-
phasized in a three-day meeting of
women Democrats here May 2, 3
and 4. Plans for the spring rally
were revealed by Mrs. Thomas F.
McAllister, director of the women s
division of the Democratic National
Committee.
This year marks the Goth an
niversary of women's suffrage" she
pointed out. "Women's vote has
increased from third of the ballots
in 1920 to over a half of the ballots
in 1888. How will the women use
this power in 1910?
"The answer depends on how ef-
fectively our party is able to ac-
quaint the voters with our record
of accomplishment and on how
wisely we draw up our proposals
for promoting the welfare of all
the people in the future"
