Feb. 2.-Who Is a 'ha' and what Is an 'It,' " are questions being asked by Dr. .Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Woman's Suf frage association, In connection -with her refusal to declare, the value of nor per sonal property for taxation. Tho blank sont Dr. Shaw to be filled out called for a declaration on personal property owned by "him or It." and the suffrage leader argues that as she Is neither a "him" nor an "It" aho Is therefore exempt. Whon Dr. Shaw refused to declare tho valuo of her property at Moylan, Pa., the county commissioners placed upon It an assessed valuation of RsO.000. This, ac cording to Miss Lucy Anthony, her score tary, Is nearly four times Its actual value. "The blanks we received .on which Dr. Shaw was to make her declaration called for personal property owned by 'him' or 'It.' " said Miss Anthony, today. " 'It' usually refers to animals or Inanimate objects, and I never knew the state to demand taxos of them." ' Miss Anthony Intimated that Dr. Shaw, who Is now on a lecture tour, probably would start a legal battle over the ques tion of "It."
