CHICAGO WOMAN REFUSES
TO PAY TAX UNTIL GIVEN VOTE
CHICAGO, May 18.—Miss Belle Squire, member of the No Vote, No Tax league, who last year caused something of a sensation by refusing to pay taxes unless given the right to vote, yesterday indicated she would assume the same position this year.
Miss Squire filed a blank personal property tax schedule with the board of assessors with the following notation:
“As a rational being, I protest against the double insult of being classed among the criminals, idiots, insane, the incompetents and minors of the state by the government under which I was born and live, and then being forced by law to help support by my labor the government that so humiliates me. For this reason I absolutely refuse to fill in the schedule herein provided.”
