Something for Something at the Suffrage Hearing Before the Joint Judiciary Committee at Albany February 19, and at Washington, March 3, 1908.
AN ARGUMENT BY ANNE FITZHUGH MILLER PRESIDENT GENEVA (ONTARIO COUNTY) POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB. [Geneva, NY? 1908].
Pale blue sheet folded to oblong 3 1/2" x 6", with text in darker blue type. Near Fine.
Ms. Fitzhugh speaks plainly for "3,714 signed suffragists" of Ontario county, New York. "Year after year" New York women have come to Albany. "In tones of appeal, in tones of warning, we repeat the grand and awful phrase, 'Taxation without representation is tyranny.' ...Do you realize that a part of every dollar you receive from the state, and a part of every dollar you expend for the state is forced from citizens who are prohibited by the state from giving their consent that you receive and disburse their money?" She states the case "in a nutshell – The law compels us to give, and you seem willing to take our 'Something for Nothing.'"
