torinn to remind us that this is the njre of taxation and the
bistoiians have provided us little information concerning the
iretaxntion period. We have no record of a civilization of
jvhich taxation was not a component part.
V Taxes are burdensome and will become more burden
some as civilization becomes more complicated and the
seeds' of humanity become greater. Our civilization mani
festly has given us the choice between itself with taxa
tion and no taxes with no civilization. We won't surrender
he comfoi-ts of our civilization so we must tolerate taxes. I
American civilization is a valuable treasure but is not""
pcing offered to the public at bargain prices. Our federal'

lor war purposes are oppressive. Few institutions of our i.,-,i.
rivijization arc' untaxed by the federal government in the
jiame of the world war, which was a product of our civili
EHtion. The federal government, national highways, nr.
ijional parks and reserves, the army and navy, the diplo
matic service are all quite necessary to our civilization and
bniixt be paid for with taxes. We pay state taxes for good
roads, school administration, agricultural extension, state
'government 'and other attributes of civilization which none
V'oiild willingly forego. Then there are county taxes for
(lie administration of our courts of justice, for roads,
.schools and the preservation of the records of civilization
,and its institutions. Municipal taxes brook much complaint,
Out without them we would have no paved streets, fire ami
police protection, municipal government ind sanitation.
Evprywhere there is discontent with increasing school taxes.
but the demands for education are becoming greater and
greater under our civilization.
Many are tne blessings of civilization, but thv must
belpaid for in tuxes.

Tluis did the playwright interpret that which fs in the
mind of all the world today; that knowledge is understand
ing: "d that nations misunderstand each other because
they do not know each other. Strange neightors are qunr
rrlsomc neighlmrs.
: Under the spell ttf war there were many of all im
tuinalities who truxted in the efficacy of a league of na
tions in one foim or another. They forget for the moment
that world peace can never be enforced by the threat of
force Uit must come tlmuigh education and a mutual un
derstanding among all races and all nations. They did no!
apply to international evils the knowledge that legislation
cannot lc substituted for education in the stamping out of
c ils.
; Posterity will probably come to the lealization that
there is room enough in the world for all and that since
ll must live on the same globe it would be better for
lilt that they live in peace with each other. Pemocrarv
