FINLAND SUFFRAGE LEADER
BORN IN ALASKA.
Peculiar interest attaches to
the recent election as a member
of the Finnish parliament of
Miss Anna Furuhjelm because
she was born in Alaska, a coun
try which now has equal suffrage
but which was under Russian rule
at the time of her birth. She
is the daughter of a Russian ad
miral who died a few years ago.
Her father was next to the last
governor of Alaska before it was
acquired by the United States,
lie belonged to the Swedish no
bility in Finland, where his tal
ented daughter is now a power
in politics.'
Little did her father dream
when he was governor of Alaska
that some day that country would
have political equality of the sex
es and llial his own country of
Finland would elect his daugh
ter, horn in Alaska, In its high
est legislative body.
Miss Furuhjelm is second vice
president of the International
Woman Suffrage alliance and at
tended the recent meeting of that,
body at Budapest, but sin1 left the
congress before it had adjourn
ed to return fo Finland and look
after her candidacy for the par
liament. She was one of 21 wo
men elected fo that body last
month.
Ida Busted Harper, an Indiana
woman, who has been traveling
in Europe and writing about the
progress of the political eifualily
movement, describes Miss Furuh
jelm as an aristocrat by birth,
but thoroughly democratic jin
her sympathies. She speaks sev
en languages fluently and has
for many years been a leader of
women in Finland. She had been
a candidate for parliament before
but was defeated because she was
a member of tin Swedish, or mi
nority, parly. Recently there has
been a coalition of the Swedisii
and Finnish idemcnls of the wo
men of Finland, and that prob
ably accounts JIo.v her success.
Her election is attributed to the
voles of women. Society women
who never went to the polls be
fore helped elect Miss Furuh
jelm. and besides .“die received I he
votes of women clerks and do
mestic servants because she
stand for measures for the bet
terment of their condition.
Thirteen of the twenty-one
women recently elected to the
Finnish parliament are members
of the social democratic party,
the aims of which seem fo be
generally about the same as the
•aims of Miss Furuhjelm and oili
er women that were successful at
the polls.
Tin*, women nl 1* mlaml were
; ‘enfranchised in I90l>. In 11)07 It)
women were elected to parlia
ment; in 11)08. 25; in 11)01), 21;
in' it 1)10, 17; .in. 19.1,1,„ I 5; 'and,
19(3,21. ’ '' '
Tin* eondition in Finland is re
markable because of the frequent
. <lis.*joiiltipii of 1 lie diet, or par
liament, b> the czar of Russia, of
'which Finland is a part. Arms
have been taken away from the
people and 80,000 Russian troops
are on hand to see that the rule
of Ihe czar is enforced. Even at
that, there '* a deal of independ
ence among the people. They go
right ahead electing members of
the diet committed to democrat
ic principles, and in time they
may wear out the. opposition of
the czar.
Despite the autocratic domina
tion of Russia, the Finnish par
liament has enacted much legis
lation of a reformative character
similar to measures that have
been popular in legislatures of
the United States in the last four
or five years.
Curiously enough, the women
of Finland got the right to vote
from the members of the diet and
to hold office in the highest leg
islative body, but were not en
franchised so as to participate in
municipal flections, f They are
now proceeding to widen the
scope of their rights and they
have a good prospect of success.
—Tacoma Ledger.
INCOMES IN AMERICA.
The discussion in congress of
the income tax amendment to the
tariff bill brought out some inter
esting facts regarding the re
sources of the people of this
country. Data was secured to
give a basis for estimating what
might be expected in the way of
returns from a bill to tax in
comes.
Investigation disclosed that,
there are approximately 5,000,000
Americans who have incomes
ranging from $1,000 to $500 a
year. There are 200,000 in round
numbers, whose revenues range
from $5,000 to $10,000 a year.
There are half that, many who
receive from $10,000 to $20,000
a year. W e have <5,000 people
who have incomes varying from
$20,000 to $30,000. There are 21,
000 who get along on $30,000 to
$50,000 annually.
It is interesting to know that
there are 2,000 who have to plan
their expense accounts to keep
within $100,000 to $500,000, if
they would not exceed their in
comes. There are 500 more to
whom a half million a year would
he a modest allowance, and some
of I hem who can afford to spend
a million. There are a hundred
who do not have a deficit at the
end of lh<> twelve months, even
if their expenditures range from
$1,000,000 to $10,000,000.
'Flu* congressional invest iga
tors disclosed to the rest of the
world that there are twenty of
us can spend more than $10,
000,000 a year without touching
our principal.

GIRL’S MURDERER
(continued from page 1).
given a preliminary hearing this
afternoon.
The arrest of the young man,
who has been one of the most,
prominent figures in the younger
society, has caused great excite-,
merit. Many believe that lie is
insane and it is understood that
his mother has secured the ser
vices of the leading attorneys to
defend her son.
When I lie wounded g irl was
taken from the wreck .of the au
to after its Collision wit h the
curb, tin1 men disappeared and
the police l.ra.I ..wuership
of I lie machine to a garage. The
proprietor of the garage inform
ed I hem that he was ac.ipiainled
with the young man who had
rented the machine, as he was a
steady patron of the garage and
was known to him as (’.raighorn.
hut that lie had reason to believe
that was not his name, as one of
the drivers had "dated that lie
was a member of one of the lead
ing families of the city. The of
ficers were sure that the crime
was the work of some of the
young idle rich, as the young
woman had told them that her.
escort had been lavish in spend
ing money on former occasions
when they were together.
