Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, honorary dean of the "Washington College of Law, joined with the Treasury Depart ment today In replying- to the question raised by the attitude of IV. Anna Shiw, head of the American suflraglsts. Dr. Shaw said women may "decline to aid the Government by refusing to render an account of their property" for income tax assessment. Aomen should remember they re celve the protection of the Government and It is only right they should con tribute to the support oft a system of law and order in which they share the benefit," said Mrs. Mussey. "The in come tax law was enacted by Con gressmen from States where women vote, which Is another reason why they should not hinder its operation." Treasury officials pointed out that the provisions of the income tax are plain, and that the penalty clause is sufficiently stringent to prevent worn-. en from attempting to evade payment of the tax. The law provides that any person liable to make the return or pay the tax "who shall refuse or neglect to make a return at the times specified in each year shall be liable 'o a penalty of not less than ?20 nor more than 1,000." Guilty of Misdemeanor. And it is further provided that any person who "makes any false or fraudulent return or statement with intent to defeat or evade the assess ment shall be made guilty of a mis demeanor and shall be fined not. ex ceeding 2,000 or be Imprisoned not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion, of the court." Miss Alice Paul, of the Congressional l.'nion. when .asked as to the attitude of Washington suffragists on the question of resistance raised by Dr. Shaw, de clared that "women shouldn't be taxed unless they have a voice In making the laws. "If it were possible to resist the meas ure, -undoubtedly we would," she added. Members of Congress expressed Inter est In the letter written .by Dr. Shaw, vhjch was addressed to the "unfran chised American women." Congressman Frank D. Mondell, of Wyoming, one of he first suffrage States, declared that he "is not a believer in militancy whoJher It bo active or "passive as sug gested by Dr. Shaw." Includes All Persons. He declared that Congrcis ! il enacted the Income tax law and that '. persons whose Incomes are above thi exempted amount are required to make returns to the ta. collectors and pay the tax. "Any refusal to make returns, as anr. Rested by Dr. Shaw, would, of course. be a refusal lo obey the plain letter or me law. ne saia.

Business men hero today were interested In en edito rial in the Economist, the organ for big Interests in La Salle street, which re views the acts of the Wilson Adminis tration, particularly tho enactment of the currency law. "The achievements of the special bes slon and the small fragment of the resu lai session under tho quiet guidance or the President aro In many respects without parallel In the history of our Government." says the Economist. "One need not approve of everything that has been done, nor can one dismiss apprehension as to the effect, of the two gicat acts which have passed Congress but onn must admire the zeal, the labor, the-perslstency. the fidelity, the purpose luiness of tho leaders and the rank and file. "Particularly does President Wilson merit the commendation of everybody! who believse in strong conviction and sagacity in converting such conviction into working fact. "What must one award to the Re publican party? A tear. Year in and year out. this question of a change I our financial system was a prominent one in its counsels: year in Jind year out it talked and talked, but did noth ing. It was this somnolency and the re fusal of the party to nominate the Pres idential candidate that the people evl- I dently wanted that defeated them. " It is now an open question whether here-1 after there will be a Republican party." Relatives of Lawrence Fennall, a plumber, thirty-six years old, of 73 II street, said today that they knew of no motive for his suicide. Iennalls body, with a bullet hole in the fore- I.etd. was found Sunday afternoon at the. foot of a steep embankment In the woods at West Virginia avenue and Morse street northeast.
