Protest Against Taxes.

Miss Elizabeth L. Van Lew, as is her custom, paid her taxes at the City Hall and entered the following protest: “Miss Elizabeth L. Van Lew, as is her custom, paid her taxes at the City Hall and entered the following protest: “Taxes having been demanded of me for the past year, notwithstanding my annual protests against taxation without representation, I again solemnly and earnestly renew my protests against this right and declare that I believe the practice is criminal and unworthy, and should be corrected in the National, State and municipal councils without further delay.”
